For an entry level position that's probably 1.5-2.5x what a software dev could expect to make in the UK. In my experience at least.

No, in the UK. I may have been exaggerating a little, but without searching at all, my current bank, Halifax, offer 1.3% http://www.halifax.co.uk/savings/accounts/easy-access/online... I'm curious about

I don't know a lot about finance, I also don't believe in conspiracy theories, but how is it that I can open a savings account with my local bank and easily earn 1.5% interest but you're saying PayPal can't do better tha

Is there any guarantee that the machine isn't simply reading your hand and then occasionally letting you win to keep the payout at ~80%?

As long as they are drawing profits internationally they should be subject to laws in those nations. If they don't like the law in a particular country then they shouldn't do business there. After all Google have .co.uk domains an

It means it won't work for very fast moving objects. For most purposes this type of collision is fine. It's a lot quicker too - doing line intersections for every potential collision is quite intensive. Often it's best to res

As another brit, I want to echo this. I suspect the treatment by his peers would be different in the US then in the UK. Not so much the talent part, but definitely the wealth aspect - in my experience a kid who was ostensibly much more weal

An Xbox 360 controller is $49.99 (without reductions) [0]. And I'm sure the price will come down over time. The trouble is I think when the console is only twice the price of the controller. So perhaps what your saying is the console i

I totally agree, this is hopefully going to be a platform where arcade multiplayer can shine, and I'm looking forward to all the indie games in this area. Especially 0space, that game is amazing. Samurai Gunn, from the same developer i

Geeksphone is a Spanish company. I agree there is potential in emerging markets for Firefox OS but they aren't sidestepping Europe.

Most "normal" conversations could be cast in this narcissistic light, if you wanted to. People tell each other about the interesting things that happen to them, and not about the mundane, sad, or private things. An awful lot of conversation

"witholding" means the opposite of what you think it does, it means "preventing" or "holding back" in this context :) Also I suspect a lot of people, certainly myself, would find this behaviour quite unsociable, and hard to bear during ever

Harsh to call them errors. Noone is a legitimate spelling, if uncommon[1], and comma usage is basically a subjective artform, although I agree it doesn't read very well in the quoted sentence. [1] http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/noone

YouTube is supported by advertising, but it doesn't exist _because_ of it. It's possible to imagine a world where users did not tolerate advertising and YouTube found their funding from user subscriptions, product referrals, government fund

It's a great font! I've recently been working on a game and I wanted to include this font in it. I've been a bit worried though because of the vague and scary sounding license that seems to come with all fonts, including Johnston. Did you c

Maybe http://www.kongregate.com/games/alexmatveev/3d-logic . I had the same feeling, it's annoyingly hard to find the original version, there are a lot of reskins and other very similar games.

The premise is surely nonsense! The full logic ought to go: Why do we have cars? To go faster. Why do cars have brakes? In order to slow down again. If all we were concerned about was going fast then why ever slow down? Cars need to regulat

I was wondering a while ago if you could use an effect like this to get reasonable performance for real-time raytracing. It wouldn't be realistic, but you might get a nice painterly look with fancy lighting for 3d scenes. Very pretty though

I was at a developer meet the other week and someone from Ouya said they have been giving the XMBC team support and it is apparently working pretty well on the device.

Most criticism centres on the design, not the technical aspects, I think it's fair to say. It's an example of a fairly large, complex, and smooth application written in Javascript for the Gnome platform. I am looking forward to more apps us

DerbyJS is a pretty cool project. I was checking it out a while ago but there was no way to hide private data (user details etc) from the client. It seems they have made a start on that now though[0]. Might be time to take another look. [0]

Thanks for information. Yes, the Moai is slightly confusing, it's not obvious to me that there is a full SDK available and usable without paying for the cloud component. I might check it out in fact, I have been looking for a cross platform

I think you're slightly missing the point. It's not the use of recursive functions or data structures that is interesting. It's that, in Go, you can add a new type which covers externally defined types, and those types are now instances of

One of the great benefits of Love, in my opinion, and something that sets it apart from a lot of comparable game frameworks, is the open source and free nature. It really encourages sharing and open (not obfuscated) code by having the defau
