I was hoping this was going to be written by Leslie Claret. https://www.lgclaret.com/ "Hey, let me walk you through our Donnelly nut spacing and crack system rim-riding grip configuration. Using a field of half-C sprat

In terms of number of times executed, the most impactful code I've written was a JavaScript GUID generator used on the Xbox One for launch and for a few years after. It was simple code that a colleague showed me, but had to be written

People pursuing whatever tickles them is what gives our culture its vibrancy. Especially for things that don't hurt anyone, we should encourage such expeditions.

I really appreciate the technical write up of how trucks work. As others have pointed out, skateboarding is all about feel, and not efficiency. My favorite example of this is Daewon Song, one of the most skilled and creative skaters of all

I've been learning Japanese for ~3 years and tried a variety of methods. Of course there are better and worse ways to learn, but to me the most important factor is keeping my motivation up. Without having read this book, congratulation

I put a recent game out on both Android and iOS ( https://www.downwordly.com/ ). Admittedly it isn't apples to apples because the game modes and pricing models differ^. That said, iOS has made 10x more for me. Most of th

Great resource, nice work putting it all together. I was on the software side of 360 (mostly C++ and Lua), so I didn't get too deep in the hardware. Most of my time was spent modifying and building on the XAM, glad to see it mentioned

Outside of the day job, trying to scrape together some projects that scratch whatever itch I have at the moment. I'm trying to learn kanji and it was a fun exercise to learn how to render svg in unity so I made a free iOS and Android a

When I was working on Xbox One, I got all the checkin mails. Whenever I had time, I'd look for Dave's changes and see what he did. Nearly all of them were over my head because they were so deep in the OS. The ones I understood wer

Super cool to see something I worked on hit the front page :) We had a film crew document the development of the app, you can check out the videos here http://aka.ms/syivideos and you can read some technical posts here htt

It is stupid, but that hasn't stopped a lot of manufacturers from doing it. I unplugged the one that came equipped in my GTI. Google soundaktor and your make/model to see if your car has one.

The best part of the hiptop IMO, was the development community. It was ultra tight knit and accepting of newbs. I have many fond memories of side loading apps from skdr.net and eventually reaching the point of uploading my own creations.

I've been using the FB app since it arrived on iOS. At one point it was a decent app, but it is far from being the gold standard. The last few updates have just introduced more bugs and lag to the experience. Lately I don't even know if I c

The author is making some pretty big generalizations IMO. While I agree there is a culture of gratuitously violent games -- which the market responds positively to -- there are also many incredible games that feature no realistic violence.

I'm peripherally in the industry, but even I can say middleware is huge. Speedtree, as you mentioned, shows how niche the suites can be. You also have FMV players (especially on mobile) and of course physics engines are huge. Look for Havok

Unfortunately the 'Tweetie never crashed' bit is untrue. I had Tweetie download and cache a profile icon that was trash and it continually crashed until I deleted and reinstalled. I do agree that the app has gone downhill since the acquisit

Can any normal tourist get inside of the area? What are the health risks of spending an afternoon there (~3 hours)? Seems like a very unique place to visit if possible and not too dangerous.

Do RFID tags have anything to prevent a replay attack or is owning a bit for bit copy of an RFID tag the same as owning the original?

Retina Display doesn't automatically mean 300+ ppi. If you believe Apple, it simply means 'at the distance you hold this from your eyes, you won't perceive individual pixels'. I have an iPad and I hold it on my lap or a table which is usual

Also some people are terrified of dogs so having one sniff over them would be worse than being groped. Not that the TSA cares about feelings or anything though.
