Because in a standard investment there is a potential for a huge upside, the product is a huge success and and you make a bunch of money. Kickstarter the upside is capped at getting your reward. I've read their FAQ and I won't par

That's the beauty of Kickstarter. No downside for those who get the money, very limited upside for those who pledge.

Seems crazy to do a project like this with an agency doing the software and hardware design. That's going to be crazy expensive. I would think you need the skills in house to make it affordable.

Never heard the word "proctor", in Canada they are always called invigilators.

I remember when I was learning to program in C I once put a semi-colon on the end of a #define. Statements end in semi-colons, seemed like a fine thing to do and didn't stand out when I was looking for the error. The compiler errors we

If I wasn't clear, my question was the opposite, not is there still demand to run 32-bit software, but is there demand for new 32-bit software from people who can't run 64-bit. I've assumed anybody with a almost 10 year old c

Is there still demand for 32 bit apps? The last 32-bit mac was released in 2006 and the last OS 32 bit OS in 2009?

I'm doing it now for my first Android app and the JNI isn't as bad as I expected. I'm using juce and it has a bunch of macros that reduce the JNI calls down to 1 line, and there are a classes to convert the types. The UI is a

Angry Birds most likely was written (at least partially) in C++ as Rovio has confirmed that they used Box2D, a C++ physics engine, as the engine for Angry Birds. All the major mobile platforms support C++. Android through the use of the NDK

For $30 an hour I hope they are employees, not contractors, otherwise they are getting ripped off. Bill out rates for employees are usually a lot higher than their salary. The company has to pay for non-billable hours, office space, medical

My contract did not specifically mention salary though it was argued it was covered by the general confidential information clause. I'm used to working for the government where salary is publicly available, so I didn't even think

On a recent contract I took, the end client told me what they were paying for my services -- about 6x what I was getting paid. They were pretty annoyed, and I was threatened with legal action for discussing financial matters with an end cli

I've been contracting for 4 years. I have received 1 job via my website. The rest have been through contacts, primarily through people I previously worked for when I was a full time employee. I've got a few through people I know f

I recently worked as an expert witness and had to write a report, I haven't written anything since University ~15 years ago. Writing a technically accurate report about source code for a non-technical audience was amazingly difficult.

Do you know how private preserve compares to just pumping the air out, which is what I currently do?

Currently I'm working on instrumentation amplifiers and the analog signal can't travel very far. So each one has its own AVR controlling it. Then there is a high powered micro that collects and stores all the data. Or, there may n

by FigBug 12y ago
It really depends on what you are doing. If you compare mA/MHz, the M3 will probably be lower than the AVR. If your micro is busy a lot, you maybe get lower power consumption from the M3. If your micro is idle most of the time, the AVR

I think they do. One one hand, for building complex embedded systems it sure is nice to be able to get an Arm processor, Linux a high level language etc. Getting all that setup takes time, but it's worth it since it since the rest of t

I do this too, but I don't try and enforce it on anybody. I really enjoy working alone.

Desktop apps are basically stuck where they were 10 years ago, and I don't see them advancing much in the next 10. Office, Photoshop, etc will still be getting upgrades every couple years. All the investment will be in what the new hot

That's probably what I should do. I bought a book on usb and started learning a bit about the protocol. Are there any good Libusb projects that would be a good example? Most I was were for using libusb to talk to an existing device cla

Looks more functional than my real hand. I had an arm reattached which I believe was the wrong choice. (Doctors argued against, parents argued for) Now I'm stuck with a useless hand that no doctor will remove. I'd rather just have

LGPL requires that the user be able to replace the LGPL portion with an updated / modified version. This is usually accomplished with dynamic linking. Since the iOS store requires apps to be signed and disallows dynamic linking, there

Yup, QList, QVector, QString. There are a lot of reimplementations. I tend to find them a lot easier to use than the C++ counterparts. What type of problems were you having?
