Pipes. It may sound a little odd, but I wish I could automatically pass results from one GUI program to an unrelated one in that sort of hassle-free way.

Added hidden Mickey's to all of the company (not Disney) webpages for April Fools... had to leave the code in because someone committed against it, and removing the "joke" code broke their kludge.

I suspect that the similarities between the S and the 3 are partly due to the aerodynamics of the S translating into the newest member of the family. Why throw out all of that testing and a widely recognized signature look? I really doubt t

There's been a really great pair of apps in Android for the last couple of years that handle "Night Shift" functionality. The one that dims the screen further than the 0% brightness setting called Night Mode, and one that ske

Code minimization is an art unto itself. Embedded devices and mobile networking place a premium on space and features per byte of code. Powerful and effective do not have to mean complex. Generally speaking, the smaller a library or tool is

That is the idea behind some carbon offsetting strategies that involve reforesting efforts incentivized by lower emissions taxes. Some programs are more successful than others, but the government's are deincentivized to provide these b

Assembly or direct machine code. Everything has to eventually be converted into something the processor understands. Either that or any code run with root. A little less flippantly: what you mean by "powerful" really does make a d

Hi Mike! I use some of those methods. I am an open source conference goer, casual MOOC and YouTube how-to addict. My big one though is side projects and contract work. Short contracts are a great opportunity for implementing something fairl

I've got an idea for an endless game that uses neural networking and game AI to generate game worlds that develop stories even without the player's direct involvement.

I would continue making waves in the high end walled garden for a few more months. You will have a larger audience in Android, though there will be a lot more competition. Your app is already free, so there will not be a major culture shock

Move on. Try a new environment with a new company. I am in a similar boat. My current job just sucks. My state was just flooded with 18 inches of water and the interstates are closed. (Hell, while I was typing, my cell chimed an emergency e

Given the forum, I was expecting yet another copyright infringement case being mislabeled as piracy. Nice to see a story about actual pirates in international waters.

IT used to be diverse. It simply isn't today, which makes the trade vulnerable to this sort of manipulation. While political correctness is the generally agreed-upon method to display tact and awareness of others, it is easy to abuse f

Likely not in the US, since that is illegal in the States. (I assume that you're in Europe!) I would say to make the change and pioneer the field. Once you make it, turn around and claim that VC space to help those who come after you.

Find a home for it that keeps the lights on for $80 a month or less, and with any extra, purchase some Google AdWords or Facebook ads. Let it roll on its own for a couple of years till either all of the users are off, or it makes more money

Thanks, I needed a laugh this morning! I love the part about how long she has "studied" world history. Had me rolling! Absolutely priceless. I could not finish because I was laughing too hard.

On Arch: Randomly pull it in from the repos or AUR, fiddle with it till I am bored, then figure out if I have a real use for it. 90% of the time it is a no, but I have found some really neat stuff out in the wilds. In production: Search for

Hmmm... hybrid communism. Instead of making everyone work, we make a few people work while the unmotivated, disaffected, or medically incapable majority sponges off their efforts directly. Sure, it may not start that way... hell basic i

So a 5,000+ year old practice of mummification of Egyptian Pharaohs is a prediction of a book written by people just a few hundred miles away, 1,400 years ago? I think we may have a different definition of the word "prediction" he

The trouble will be the fuzzy definition of "extremism" which can be used by racists and religious fanatics to paint those seeking tolerance and equality if you crowd source. Doublespeak is exceptionally dangerous because it is so

Morning! I am a programmer in Lexington. For more local gigs, I'd recommend checking out Tech After 5 if you're in one of the three major cities, or close enough. It is a casual bar meetup sponsored by larger businesses. It makes

Seek out local tech conventions. Open source cons, if your an enthusiast, are usually pretty inexpensive and have a broad exposure to companies large and small. Another good networking idea is to start going to meetups and the like for tech

Quite the opposite, as total mentioned. If this had been closed source, we would have not known about the bug, and it likely would have stayed around for a lot longer... until someone wanted to modify that particular part, or do a fresh rew

Unless your using code that they have laid legal claim to by making you sign NDA's or "All your work is ours" sorts of contracts, you should be in the clear. Just re-using the idea and no code? That's called experience.
