Thanks for pointing that out (: The blogpost explains how in learning C after years with PHP, MySQL, JavaScript and Objective-C one discovers little things about CS that weren't visible before while working on a higher abstraction level.

Oh, there are a lot of serious problems with iOS. After 3 years on the platform, you start to see that restriction-based badness all over the place. But one shouldn't forget that Apple has built an incredible product with one of the most se

It's an interesting claim to say that iOS has aged poorly. I tend to agree that the use of skeumorphic design does make the standard apps look a bit out-of-date, but is that really a problem? How many powerusers are really bothered by this?

Even though a lot of smart people agree that we can only get a few hours of real concentration a day, not many of them link to scientific papers that support this claim. I would agree that the claim "feels right". But in absence of a real e

Sorry to point this out, but you sound more like a recruiter than a designer. I'm sure people would answer your questions if you would ask them a little bit less bluntly. My answers to your questions are: 1. I showcase the projects I've be

It works surprisingly good. Tried it out for my hometown "Suceava", a small forgotten city from northern Romania. The information one gets is really useful and seems to be mostly accurate.

The donkey was basically asking for it. What was it doing in the middle of nowhere, anyways? Probably slacking while another donkey from China was doing the work for it for a sixth of the salary.

I am not as informed about Appelbaum as you seem to be, but regardless of his actual contributions to the field, maybe it's not so clear about whether or not he's doing a poor job educating the general public. The numbers of minds captivate

People like Jake Appelbaum that manage (or actively try) to stay in the spotlight also educate the general public about security. That is something very valuable for a community: to have evangelists going around and spreading the word while

A great must-read on the same idea - with lots of examples from very different social situations - is the popular book "How to Win Friends and Influence People" ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/How_to_Win_Friends_and_Influenc... ) . It's only
