I don't see the version of Python that was used. If possible, try it with PyPy. If it works at all (ie, no C dependencies), it should be significantly faster than CPython and may use less memory.

I didn't mean the whole of Android was a pile of crap. I've developed Android apps as well, and yes, the API is pretty decent and in some cases very clever and innovative. That doesn't make neglecting a longstanding, rather critical bug any

I encountered this recently. Really exceptionally poor engineering for a communication device. My solution: flash Cyanogen ROM, force all apps to install to the SD card. No more concerns about running out of internal memory.

Ability-wise, MLS is on par with the Championship or the 2. Bundesliga (ie, the better second divisions). It's nowhere near the level of the top European divisions. That said, I'm really looking forward to the revival of the New York Cosmos

Looks like it won't install (error code 0x800F0A12) if you have a different bootloader in the MBR. Bah. Can't be bothered to redo my whole Hackintosh setup.

What kind of apps? As of Gingerbread, the NDK supports OpenSL ES, which seems like a perfectly decent API for games and other low-latency audio applications.

I really like this kind of solution for smaller projects, where a proper bug tracker is excessive overhead. Keep everything in the repo and it's much simpler to maintain. Do you have a formal-ish system for this? Notice issue -> TODO -&

Yes, Gruber is generally decent (except when it comes to Android, where he seizes every available opportunity to make snide, petty, uninformed remarks). But everyone else here is talking about this specific case, which, as you suggest, se

The article paints a bleak picture, but it's essentially a homeless shelter for alcoholics who have long since given up on treatment. It's not really direct "harm reduction" in the same sense as needle exchange clinics. More a way to make a

If your refactoring causes test code to break, then it also causes "real" code to break, yes? All code using that interface needs to be fixed appropriately, which can typically be done with automated tools. If there's no corresponding produ

I don't create many documents in PDF or print form. When I do, I use my very basic LaTeX knowledge to create something that looks nice. Because word processors are useless and fiddly. It's cynical and utterly baseless to deduce "pretentious

I've found /r/soccer is pretty low on the "internet culture" stuff. And /r/gamedev, while too small to sustain much interesting discussion, does provide good links. But yes, any large subreddit on any topic is infected with all the rage com

Why not just formalize WikiProject rankings? Instead of being deleted, all articles with verifiable, independent sources should be graded on quality and importance by those involved in the relevant WikiProject(s). I think exposing that kind

It was a primarily a case of "if it ain't broke...don't take a hammer and start smashing". They had some nifty ideas (like Twitter-style following of a user's submitted links), which they probably could've implemented gradually and unobtrus

I kinda doubt that, for $9/month, Crate wants to act as a CDN for your hugely popular feature-length HD film. I don't see anything about limits in their TOS, but the strong implication is that the service is for sharing with friends, and I

It's not a store, it's venture capitalism writ small. Just like Kickstarter, Sellaband, etc.

If we look at the bnetd case as precedent, it probably is illegal under the DMCA. The justification is that it's a tool for circumventing copy protection.

Sure. There are a few local projects along these lines, with limited success. See freifunk.net, for example. The main problem is that the range of WiFi is quite short even in denser urban areas (so you wind up with lots of fragmented micro-

Violation of the spirit rather than the letter of the law, surely. Which would indicate that the guidelines probably need to be tweaked to close such loopholes.

For perspective, the first-gen iPhone and iPod touch are perfectly responsive, even though they're ancient in gadget years. When there are Android phones which feel as slow as crud despite featuring the same (or better) hardware as an iPhon
