There are a few problems with STL when writing kernel or API code. One is due to it's completely generalized nature. Since it's not heavily optimized for either speed or memory use, it tends to perform rather poorly in both areas. Not tha

You also need to not use: STL(most implementations are too slow) Boost or STLPort(namespace and compatability issues if you're not producing executables) Most OO features like inheritance and polymorphism(a lot of that is resolved at runtim

>I find we get a much better result when building requirements based off the customer's pain rather than just giving them what they want. It helps maintain usability by avoiding confusion over additional features and functions. Exactly.

I guess we should define failure here. Is it basically bankruptcy, where the startup couldn't survive(or could barely survive) even after several rounds of funding? Or are we talking about situations where the startup is bought out, but j

The iPhone, when it was released, was something completely new, though. There was literally nothing like it on the market at all. Almost nobody had multitouch functionality. Nobody integrated a content market in the same way Apple did.

The model S is somewhat disruptive. It's closer to almost affordable(around $50,000 base price after US tax breaks) than the Roadster(which was $109,000 base). Very few people could afford roadsters. More people can afford Model S', but

Preprocessor magic is pretty much required if you want to write multiplatform code. I work on code for Solaris, Linux, and Windows, and makes life much easier to use #defines to standardize the OS calls.

The only thing this NDA covers, potentially, is if you have an iOS developers license. That would probably be covered under "paid content". It does not cover xcode, no matter what where the installation comes from or the GCC bundle. That

The NDA covers prerelease software, which this is not.

Again, the high barrier is the entire point. With the current regulations, if the transfer company goes belly up, the state, who would be forced to cover any transfers that were not completed, is not 100% liable for the damages. Customers

Why should there be a low barrier to entry when your entire business model is relying on moving money? If you screw up, you're going to screw a LOT more people than any standard startup. The potential for fraud is incredibly high here, wh

It's time zone differences. The 4 hour lag is the difference between Eastern US time during Daylight Saving Time and GMT. The EC announcement, assuming that the Google blog is on Pacific time, would be around 5-6 PM GMT. That's after norm

It's even more unlikely because you then have to find a buyer that's willing to pay market price for the gold wherever you end up at. You'll be reduced to selling it for whatever people are willing to pay.

In all honesty, probably not. Node.js is too thin to really make a C port all that worthwhile. Unless the dispatcher is extraordinary slow, the major performance issues are going to be in the userland code more than the actual Node code.

I think that it really only applies in the games space. The basic features of most utility apps is pretty easily defined by the problem they're attempting to solve. The basic functionality of all Twitter apps, for example, are pretty much

I agree completely. I work on high performance C API's. Most of the code I write is as close to the silicon as possible because of that. So where am I? Not level 7, because our OO design doesn't have the performance we need. But I've ne

This is the exact attitude that the blog post is saying is wrong. For mathematics, computers are tools. Computers don't create the answers, they assist the user in finding the answer. They're time-saving and error checking devices, which

I disagree about it being that "disruptive". The concepts that it uses aren't new. They've existed in POSIX environments for decades. At a very basic level, Node.js is a callback-based API that's based around some(probably select) notifie

The first mobile platform all of these games were released on was iOS. Most of them have been there for over a year. The only one that is relatively recent is Anomaly, which was released late in 2011. You can't get them as cheap as the H
