It's so unfortunate that being nasty works for those guys. I've seen so many people who effectively equate Apple's success to "the leader of Apple being an arsehole" and decide they too want to be Steve Jobs. I am o

Thanks for the explanation, that makes sense.

Apple taking 93% of all the profits in the smartphone industry is terrifying.

What possible reason, from anyone's perspective, is there to say it's not OK for Tesla to sell their own products to people? Is this literally 100% because the US is so corrupt that car dealers are just making laws that make them

I once convinced my girlfriend to wear the DK1, in one of the demos that came with it (Tuscan villa), without her moving, just looking around a static location. In less than 10 seconds she ripped it off in a sick panic, and spent the rest o

I have RSI and use Workrave to force me to take a 30 second break (where I stand up and stretch etc usually) every 10 minutes and a 5 minute break every hour of typing (which, since software development is a lot of discussing and thinking a

I don't mean to imply that Chris gave up, just that LT is not going going to reach the features discussed in the original pitch. > Those of us who have been working in this field for awhile already guessed that many of the features

On a similar note I've found Ben 'Yahtzee / ZeroPunctuation' Crowshaw's "Ego Review" series pretty fascinating, where his friend replays the games he made when he was a kid, and they commentate over it. Th

So what I find so interesting about this is that I've never heard the counter-argument. No one is rushing to defend Apple, or say "Yeah I work at Apple on X and I really love it". In fact, the more I think about it, I don&#x2

The new MBA is near identical in terms of CPU / general system performance, Broadwell brought the expected 5-10% but nothing startling. The SSD IO is twice as last years though. How much that matters to you is questionable and depend

Amon Tobin's score opened an entirely new genre of music for me, and it really set the tone of the game beautifully. Chaos Theory the game intermingling with the soundtrack (and then getting the soundtrack and listening on its own, and

Exactly. I know some amazing programmers who happen to also like mountain biking and building robots with their kids, who happen to work for companies that don't publish their code to github♯. The idea that all the good programmers w

Not to speak for everyone, but when people say that they mean the network specifically, not the disk.

Oh I see, it comes up for me because I specifically use OpenID through my domain. That's just my problem then.

So this seems to affect… a lot of services. I'm surprised it's not getting more coverage. Unless this message appears when it doesn't need to, a massive number of prominent services rely on this, such as StackOverflow (if you

Agreed. FWIW I basically don't read articles where I can't find the date, unless it's clearly something that doesn't need one (which is rare). Especially anything technology related, truth turns to myth in no time at all

To bring this full circle, is anyone aware of a software oscilloscope for Windows / iOS that you could 'play' the wave file into to render his Quake demo via software?

Random non-trolling question by someone who is genuinely unfamiliar with the problem space: is it worthwhile rewriting these utilities in a language that avoids these sorts of problems? Is it because they're far more complicated than I

Dude seriously? I think you've lost the plot… Sony is a company that does a million things, and nothing that I'm aware of that would deserve the term 'atrocity', unless maybe you count some of their movie plots.

Play the game, and then let it fail so you lose, then look at the FB and Twitter share buttons under your score :-)

There is currently a really cool project I suggest (if you're interested in learning / seeing C in action) called Handmade Hero[1]. He[2] is making a game, from scratch, in (mostly) C (but with a little bit of C++ niceties thrown

I really like this idea. Dynamic typing (especially truthy / falsy) gives you a lot of easy flexibility and conciseness, but static typing gives you a lot of "free" documentation and confidence. So when I use Scala I'm f
