Anyone who read their new hire guide could come to the conclusion that there's a "new engine" in development at Valve. If you're working on projects in decentralized cabals and employ engine programmers, one of those cabals is probably work

The problem is Twitter API limits and processing bandwidth, and Redis isn't a +1 Wand of Scaling Magic.

What did you try? There's only really two verbs in iOS (tap and drag), and they both work.

Every slider implementation I've seen on the web has been inspired by sliders in iOS, where they provide a bigger touch target. iOS sliders also give considerable information about their current state: the word "OFF" is in grey text on whit

How do I back up a 20-node Riak cluster as easily as a Postgres cluster of any size? Disclosure: I work for Basho, makers of Riak.

DevOps changed that. At my first few software engineering jobs, if I didn't write any config files, they wouldn't have got written.

Facebook doesn't typically do OS-level integration on any OS, and clients are only really useful on mobile devices (desktop-spec web browsers and connections are very much good enough for Facebook).

The difference is iOS has been sold on hundreds of millions of phones. Windows Phone 8 has sold zero.

Isn't AAC a better codec than MP3 as far as quality per bit goes?

They probably won't limit it like they did earbuds, which are the most fungible of high-dollar-value game items (c.f. http://tf2finance.com/ for dollar value).

And if they were passing out a limited number of Unique or Unusual hats, it'd be like passing out Benjamins. The TF2 hat market is fascinating .

Publishers can make profits on closed platforms; in fact, they're almost essential due to the work it takes getting to market on a closed platform. Middle-man distributors, however, don't typically profit from platforms. Valve's position on

I don't give a shit that Facebook updates their software literally every day. Software is great because it doesn't need to last.

Why would a good sync service with history be a backup? They don't store a history indefinitely. Of course destroying files and history is a bug, but something that instantly replicates changes to those files from machine-to-machine shouldn

My iPad from over two years ago browses the web with the same capabilities as the iPad 4, just a bit slower and lower-resolution. That I should have to throw it away and buy a new one because the web changes is the antithesis of "green." Ge

Welcome to the real world, kid. Mommy's not going to check you in anymore, and if you've got a clever way to take advantage of a big company's systems in spite of their policies, keep it on the down low.

If the Metro APIs include anything capable of running binary code, Chrome will probably be developed for it. Given Microsoft's recent history of being careful to display monopolistic behavior, I'm sure they'd allow Google to distribute Chro

The now-deprecated API probably wasn't working for Twitter, so they got rid of it. Developers were warned before this happened, and your code is your responsibility, not Twitter's.
