I'm in a non-US timezone, so all I get in most (software-related) IRC channels is crickets chirping. SO is like a searchable log of an IRC channel for when my question was asked and answered 4 days ago.

I also did my BA in philosophy (epistemology and Heidegger) and my MS in computer science. I sell my philosophy experience as an ability to quickly understand and manipulate abstract concepts. I used to be pretty confident with this positio

I don't have an iPhone, but I do have a question... What if you've sorted the list (by sender, for example) so the 'natural' place for the new message is half way down your list? Will it determine a travel delta or something similar to dete

Yes it is native, and no javascript bindings have been made for Android's webkit engine. It is packaged as a UI control that you overlay onto your application window and receive gesture events trhough it.

Android has a gesture recognition API in 2.2, implemented by one of the creators of the $1 recognition algorithm (the one implemented in the article). The creators of 'one-dollar' released the next generation of the algorithm, the $N multis

This problem [of software libraries] was definitely recognized by the Scheme community, and was “solved” in R6RS. However, R6RS seems to have been a flop... I've heard this argument before (R6RS is a flop), but no-one can give me an

Ah, I get it now. There's a two-button toggle: 'code/design'. Pressing 'code' allows you to type in HTML. I think 'design' should be renamed 'preview' because I can't edit in design mode (on Chrome but should that make a difference?). So ye

I have absolutely no idea what it is or how to use it. It's a web page editor right? I clicked on the image of a web site on the landing page which loaded what looks like a designer/editor, but clicking around and trying to type things (ass

My heart goes out to all passionate, dedicated graphic designers. Who would do this job? Not I, for all the tea in China. Not only does everyone think they know what good design is, and let you know what they think is right, they'll be look

Huh? I use protocol buffers for rpc all the time. It's even supported in the .proto message format, to wit: rpc Search(SearchTermProto) returns (SearchResultProto); Have I missed something?

And another: PUT is conceptually closer to 'replace' than 'update'. To me, 'update' implies a delta, as in SQL.

Does an in-memory scheme hashtable (backed to disk) count as a database? Does my lowly 2-hits-a-week app count me as a web startup?

This is a very interesting statement. I've been working with boot times at work recently. In one release, I pulled boot times from ~25 seconds to <7 seconds by going ninja on the kernel and init. The response was out of all proportion.

Do you need to run your own mail server because you have an email address? Diaspora should have a similar model. You can use a hosted node, or one your ISP provides you when you sign up, just like they provide you with an email address.

by _sh 16y ago
Your thirteen-year-old sister's "node" will live exactly where her email lives: on some ISP/hosting co. Using Diaspora should be no different than "downloading the facebook page to your computer and running it on your browser", for example.

I see this argument about Disapora a fair bit: >Diaspora apparently requires you to run your own set of web hosting services in preserve your privacy, which no one really cares about To me, this reads the same as "having an email addres
