Get very good with the instruction set. Get very good at gdb. Then learn about memory management and networking protocols. Look up networking libraries in C. To start, I'd say have a good C manual (K&R), have a good book for computer sy

I don't mind the splash page, but I do mind the obfuscated links. Previously, I could just tell the name of file to the friend who new my public folder address. The 'get link' feature adds garbage in the link that nobody can hope to remembe

Lot of negativity in the comments. Maybe power users don't use bookmarks as much. But I have seen people using browser auto-complete with a mouse. There is a lot that can be done when it comes to empowering the regular user to use web bette

Got the lily pad one. I still cannot believe I said 10 cents on the first one with a completely non-sarcastic chuckle. This article reminds me of pg's reasons to have a co-founder to avoid being delusional. Better be proven wrong on the ins

I don't see the Contact and Fork Me on Github links on left when accessing from my Macbook. There should be a scrollbar.

So they didn't advertise it well, and now they are planning to implement the new regulations because of lack of participation? Facebook is turning out to be an unethical company. This is really unacceptable behavior from a company I rely fo

Sure. But that shouldn't be a reason to not launch it in India, for example. I have never seen a non-english keyboard in my life here. Very few countries have internationalization as a necessity. For most places, having the app in native la

I do not believe so. In languages like ML, static typing is not just used for type safety. Proper use of static typing extends to be able to use it in establishing invariants all over your code. Now, your entire codebase becomes dependent o

Development time with static languages is not an issue. Try comparing the time one needs to change the codebase written in ML and the one written in Lisp and come back. It is experimentation and change that is slow in static typing.

"The App Center will begin rolling out to people in the U.S. today" What is up with Facebook and US-only products? Their Camera app is not available in most countries. Even their app for managing Pages isn't available in my app store (they

It's basically market cap plus the debt, minus the cash. So $57 billion minus $14 billion in cash. Try to think of it as the actual amount somebody would loose from pocket while buying Facebook. While they will pay $57 billion, they will ge

I am not sure why this line is buried deep in information on their site: "We also offer a Free Forever plan which includes one dashboard and access to Leftronic's custom data API." This should be the pickup line.

The jump from Metro to traditional UI is not that big. Your visual studio can have its own tile on Metro that takes you straight to the app in traditional UI. Except when writing code, I am usually back in the Metro. It's just like web deve

I do not understand the skepticism against Windows 8, specially from the hacker community. The only reason I do not use a Windows computer (anymore) is because there are so few ways to build things on it, compared to a Mac. I remember back

I installed ChromeOS on my old VAIO recently. It is definitely not bad in the sense that things it cannot do don't fall in the 99%. I would be happier if Google manages to bring the Play store and run android apps on it. Anything I could im

I think this is only for international gateways using foreign satellites physically located within the country. No? Does this effect users of, say, Airtel? Didn't Airtel use Singtel's gateway (located outside India)? And this does not look

I followed the link from Google to app store. It gives "This request could not be completed" error on the app store. Maybe I'd have to wait. I would also love an FB contacts app.

"But that doesn't change the fact that any social network launching in 2012 that isn't mobile-based, is most likely doomed to fail if it wants to reach a mainstream audience." I disagree. If I were to make a social network now, I would stil

Almost every paper or artwork by Erik Demaine opens me to something I wouldn't ever imagine. I encourage everyone to look at his website. He is closest to the da Vinci of our times.

No, he is implying some startup will do what IBM, Microsoft and Facebook can't. Historically speaking, this is a decent analogy. After all, Facebook did what Microsoft and Google couldn't. Apple did what IBM couldn't.

There's a lot of criticism about raising money, having a high profile team and starting a company without actually having a product. This may turn out to be short sighted. I think Cisco started the same way. For all his negative qualities p
