I totally agree with you on routes in a text file. Are you gonna go 'batteries included' with Gadget, or keep aiming for that middle ground? I ask because I am looking to put my weight behind a framework and am undecided, but not

Looks smart! Curiously, any reason you chose not to use Revel?

If you dig through the referenced links, there are a lot of other users complaining about the same thing - admittedly, all of which could be guilty of some other bad behaviour, but y'know... One player also reports uploading a video in

I still think this misses the point. We're looking at a 'report' of a fictional user session when suddenly the user, who we believe we're watching interact with the app, begins to address us. It's clever and shouldn

What's new? Console manufacturers have been doing this forever. As an example, when working on an [intended] Kinect launch game, my studio routinely liaised with other studios to discuss how best to implement X feature and Y feature be

Awesome. If you want help with/need a Unity3D wrapper, get in touch.

That would have lacked the realism of some one standing, holding their phone though.

Will this work on games as well?

Gutted it's only for Retina & Mini (i.e. not the iPad 2) [1] devices as well :( This would have been an amazing Christmas present for my wife. [1] http://shop.fiftythree.com/ (System Requirements at the bottom)

I genuinely love Scott's style of blogging. He has a real knack of putting across a cool and thoughtful article whilst not pandering to any one tech following... despite being a Microsoft employee.

Awesome, thanks for answering my questions.

Total noob question here. I am not from an ops background... To paraphrase the docs, it's possible to manage a process and specify how many of that process I want to spawn (i.e. numprocesses = 5). I can also manage sockets and pass the

There is never an effective version of 'get shit done'.

This is a prime example of the attitude the author is warning against. This kind of anti-establishment ignorance comes from people with little clue as to how 99% of software is written...

"£5 /5 tags Small Buy now 5 LoseProof tags Automated email alerts Free shipping" What have I missed?

Sure, I get that. Have you thought about approaching businesses? My organisation has about circa 100 BlackBerry devices in circulation, none of which have any kind of 'if lost' marker on them...

A great idea, in principle, but £5 for 5 stickers? It'd cost me 10p to print 10 stickers with 'lost@mydomain.org' on... which I might well do, now I'm thinking about it.

For me, this is something that has just gotten better with experience and practice. Of course, we all start out with a clear and rigid vision about how the code should be - you use good design patterns, you let your data dictate the flow of

Hmmm, no, to mimic the analogy I am saying that just because something has teeth doesn't mean it can bite like a shark. Just because something has wings doesn't mean it can fly like an eagle. A budgie with a jetpack, however, ca

Totally disagree with this. I've worked with plenty of fantastic programmers who are basically worthless without the guidance of a good lead/producer/designer. Nonobligatory image to support statement: http://codin

The problem with Unity3D is that you're forced into using their WWW class unless you pay for a professional license (on each of the platforms from which you intend to make requests). And it's crap. So any libraries for Unity3D wou

I agree with the points about FPS games. I played a couple of the demos without any nausea and then tried HL2 and my stomach was almost instantly in my throat. On reflection, there was something about the first two demos that made the diffe
