I tried in on my second gen iPod Touch, and although it doeen't lag, I got a lot of flicker, as well as UI elements getting stuck in the "on" position. I like the idea, though, and would love to have a framework that just works on devices t

Has anybody here looked into the health effects of spending 30 days in a low air pressure environment? Even flight attendants don't spend this much time on a plane.

I love programming competitions, and they have provided me with some of the most valuable experience I've ever had. I spent a couple of years working on programming problems with my university's ACM contest team, and I've never had a chance

I second that! This documentary captures the late 90s .com boom better than anything else I've seen.

It's particularly interesting to read Sweeney's views on this subject, considering that he's been talking about the shift back to software rendering since 2000 or so, when GPUs started becoming programmable. Check out this old interview: h

There was an excellent interview with Jeff Bezos (I believe in HBR), where he discussed how the company chose to enter the cloud computing market. Faced with many excellent proposals, lots of cash to invest, and a talented employee base, th

I'm just about to switch to Google for mail hosting, and your comment worries me a little. What kind of trouble have people had with Google's outgoing mail servers?

Very true. For example, I grew up hearing about the lessons of the early 1990s recession, but they never really sunk in until this last year. That being said, I was reading quite a bit of Gibson in 1998, so I would have loved that first pa

I try to think less! (Or, more specifically, focus my thoughts completely on supporting the actions at hand). I also have tended to jot stuff down on scraps of paper, and then collect those scraps into folders on different subjects, but I'

The checkbox and label "French" appear on different lines in my broswer, which is confusing. Try putting all the checkboxes on the next line, or putting each one in a CSS nowrap block.

Lots of web programmers here you could team up with. If you mention what city you're in, you might find someone who's interested in working with you.

Freelance sysadmin and web development work brings in a bit of money. I've never gone out and looked for this type of work, but I've gotten to know a handful of good clients over the years. I do the work more because I like them than for t

I don't disagree overall, but I thought that China was relatively unaffected by the current crisis because of its massive currency reserves, which allowed it to ramp up spending and cheap loans.

Actually, there will always be behaviours that are not the product of evolution (as in natural selection of desirable qualities). There's always a chance of randomness in gene reproduction, and so we live in a world where a few people are

The manifesto complains that full disclosure allows script kiddies to copy and paste exploits, yet whoever vandalised this site did exactly that. Is this an attempt at humour, or am I missing something?

Nicely written article, but no deep insights here. Basically points out that older folks will suffer most from the loss of local newspapers, but that people can find another way to spread information if they need to.

I've had a few comments downmodded, and it sent a clear message: my comment was simply not valuable to the people who read it. I use downvotes in the same way. There's many factors that contribute to a comment being valuable: factualness i
