In all seriousness, the Reddit influx is upon us, full tilt.

+1 for a very detailed summary of various mechanical switches and boards. A pity they glossed over the Alps switches, but few people know anything about them in detail. You owe it to yourself to get a good keyboard! Not all mechanical switc

Hack News is a place I frequent to come across interesting subject matter. It is not a place to accrue accolades based on posted material. There are plenty of other communities to visit if you want to make a name for yourself.

Getting away from HDMI will be nice if for no other reason than not having to buy hideously overpriced switch boxes. Also, the HDCP fiasco will come to an end. I'm sure that last bit will be replaced with something equally absurd.

What I'm worried about more is people throwing around labels such as "xenophobe" and "homophobe" whenever someone has ideas that run contrary to their own. Perhaps he has some ill-conceived notions floating around in his head. I doubt that

There's a whole sub-industry based on diabetes! You have goods providers shuttling out boatloads of sharps, insulin testers, strips, etc. A lot of companies profit beyond just insulin, which isn't terribly expensive unless you have to use a

I'm not saying you're wrong, as I'm not familiar with this stuff in the slightest, but the blog post mentions two supposedly free IDEs: IAR Embedded Kickstart, and Code Composer Studio 4. http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Code_Compos

Going indie can work, but there's a ton of competition, and you have to work your arse off to make yourself a known commodity. Branding is important, and with so many platforms open to small developers, it's tough to know which ones to ta

Sorry, I got sidetracked. Holidays and whatnot :) My day job has always been outside the gaming industry. I do programming for the industrial automation sector in America. Robotics, PLCs, manufacturing... that sort of stuff. It's interestin

Most of the people I know from the industry got out after five or so years, and started up their own small outfits, or went indie. Game development sounds sexy and fun, but unless you're at the top of the food chain calling the shots, you'r

According to this blog entry: http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2010/06/art-of-homepage.html this is a 24 hour promotion to let people know about their background feature. Either way, it stinks.

I, too, fall into the "possibly one or two a week max" category. Over at Reddit, they seem more like a vehicle for narcissism than anything else. Once in a great while a person with a genuinely interesting profession comes along, but the si
