I had a contract at a company about 13 years ago where I was working on a web-based CMS that had been built entirely in-house. Because each rendered page's content was built up in a hierarchical manner, I added a caching layer that all

[Spoiler Alert] I did this on the first play through too. I played through again and it turns out that's the last level anyway. If you take the easy option you end up in a blank level where all the winners can hang out and just draw pi

This reminds me of Blinkendroid https://code.google.com/p/blinkendroid/ which was the first time I'd seen multiple devices interact with each other like this. Sadly that project never managed to get much trac

Over the past few years I've spent a total of five months travelling through or living in various remote corners of Africa. My advice would be to forget the Internet and all that is on it. Take a decent camera, learn photography. Take

Yes, a custom Android launcher would be able to implement this (though it might be a little tricky to figure out how to make the transition between app icon and widget since some apps don't have widgets, some have multiple widgets). Gi

I find them useful. Here's how: - Weather info. Before heading out for the day I can see instantly if I might need a jacket or umbrella later. - Tube status. I can see at a glance if there are any problems on any underground lines. If

Well the previous discussion was centered around the same assembly implementation as this one. The only difference is, in the previous discussion the fastest C/C++ implementation was 1.1x slower than the assembly. In this current discu

Sure they can, by setting the rotate bits to 0xC (1100). Have a play with the interactive widget near the bottom of the article. Interestingly, there is some redundancy with this encoding meaning you can't represent a full 2^12 unique
