How about an implementation of Gene Expression Programming ( http://gene-expression-programming.com/ ) in javascript?

I think that as soon as you sell your software to US customers then you have "entered the market".

Distance to finish is a poor estimator because the wind will be different in strength and direction in different places of the course. We use to have three marks in the Olympics but at some point it was reduced to two. I don't know why but

I would add that you can have a lot of fun on a Laser that goes for £5,000 new and anything down to £500 used. I am very happy with ACs coverage both TV and web and it is the first thing ever to bring this sport to the forefront.

I meant lowering in context of a test but fair point.

When I change pricing I always worry that current customers will be unhappy because they might have saved some money had they bought it later (I sell a desktop product). Is this a problem you have seen youself when you sold desktop software

That sounds like good news but the selection process is a bit strange. If I understand correctly, my app needs to be voted into their store by the community but how is the community going to evaluate it before it is in the store? Does anyon

I am not at all up to speed on these things but I guess there's more to the human body than fat and muscle. Those 1.7 lbs will certainly also include water, for example.

Still a very reasonable price below many component vendors put there.

I walked into PCWorld (UK) last week and bought one over the counter. Looking online, though, some of the larger retailers were out of stock at the time.

I guess you mean the likes of Motorola and Samsung but there are dozens of Android tablets at or below the $100 mark. Many people call them "chinese tablets" as they are not status symbols but they sure do the job (or at least some of them

This is if anything a sad state of affairs. Maybe as a reaction to this, locally, there is a women only developer user group where men can only attend if invited. The other user group has a 50:1 ratio of men vs. women.

I haven't watched it yet ( https://vimeo.com/43548699 ) but I am intrigued. I like the idea because it departs from the formulaic conference presentation which is becoming a chore in my view.

Publishers are a bit like VCs. They invest in a number of different books hoping that one will become a bestseller. All the other ones are either complete failures or midlisters (books which are not bestsellers but are strong enough to econ

Same here, age and eyesight wise, but I find that text on screens below a certain size is either too small to read confortably or too large breaking the reading flow. I guess this is a personal thing more than a scientific fact.

I would say that if you are young and/or have very good eyesight then you will be fine. Most people over 40, for example, will have a hard time reading without zooming well in.

"line-of-business developers don't have a great track record of marketing applications directly to consumers" This sounds like hearsay to me. If a gigantic chunk of the developers are working on ASP.NET and J2EE I would be surprised if they

It is hard to believe that the majority of web developers are on the Mac since there are so many more ASP.NET jobs posts than Django or ROR jobs - at least here in the UK. Having said that the main reason I chose Microsoft as the platform f

Yes the talk is quite good and it is worth watching. Quite a few insightfull questions and answers. I would even say that the nVidia outburst was the least interesting part.

I guess different people had different experiences. My nVidia cards have worked just fine on Linux but my HD7750 ATI card does not work properly (random screen flashes and poor rendering) on Ubuntu no matter which driver I try.

Yes but my main project is all on VS' toolchain and I would guess there are many others like me. Good to know that here are alternatives though.

Not sure at all. We are still looking for a silver bullet which may be the wrong path. Pushing the analogy a bit further, if software had behaved like hardware we would have had a constant stream of small improvements over time. If this had

Knowing a bit about Alan Kay's work I have to say that some posts here are missing the point. In my view when he says that there isn't a Moore's Law for software he is asking why haven't we abstracted software development to the level where

Terrific summary. I would only add that if you go for the portrait mode do not buy a TN monitor. One side of the monitor will be noticeably darker than the other.

I think this is slightly different from the article you link. Here in the UK in my business account I have to login with my password and then get a token from a small gadget that authenticates my debit card (I enter the pin and it gives me

My guess is that the developers chose the IPad, the closest you can get to a "standard tablet" these days. If you watch the video of how the application works you will see that it needs a large screen so an Android phone was probably out of

Yes the Indy was a very cool machine. There was also another one that was a cube... cannot remember what it was.
