Looking back over the last twenty years (yes I'm old, like a lot of the you in this thread), user growth has been responsible for both the Internet's success and its demise. I like to to separate content from community, because th

As a dog owner, I smirked when the author described dogs as only interested in humans because we supply the food. Yeah, that's probably true, but I don't care if my beloved pet only thinks of me as a meal dispenser, it's actu

I'd like to see Bitcoin gain more utility as a payment platform. I'm hoping that CME's plan to offer futures contracts gives merchants the stability they need to offer products priced in BTC online.

The Credit Suisse doc says foreign investment is 25% of the state of NSW, and 16% of Victoria. But I wonder what the percentages are for Sydney and Melbourne. My anecdotal evidence is that foreigners don't really buy outside the capi

Wow, it's really Loyd Blankenship! Forgive the gushing fan reply, but I'll take any chance I can to tell you how grateful I am for the GURPS Cyberpunk sourcebook. Definitely one of my main inspirations (along with Gibson's bo

If we're going to go off on a tangent of comparing rpgs to programming languages, I fondly remember GMing a Paranoia campaign back in the day where I took great delight in breaking the rules to kill off the player's clones in quic

Forgive the Android newbie comment. I'm interested in installing a custom rom on a Moto G5. I've heard that Lineage is my only option, but also heard that they don't have a great history of security updates. Are there any oth

Slightly OT but since posting at this time gets the eyeballs of a few Tokyo folk, I'll ask this: has anyone been to this VR amusement centre in Shinjuku yet? https://vrzone-pic.com/en/

Since I sense this is the perfect time to offer a half-baked eulogy, let me offer my half-baked theory: I think it was McLuhan who said that each new medium begins by imitating the old. e.g - The first television programs were basically rad

I'm not surprised that Japan had the lowest world wide with 11%, but it does poke holes in a couple of theories listed in these comments, namely proximity to a threat and cultural homogeneity.

I don't know. The Web and Bitcoin are operating on different time scales. One of the major factors with the Web's speed of success was that it was able to disrupt traditional media industries because it wasn't recognized as a

We're a long way off mainstream. Take the Web as an example: When my university lab computer got trumpet winsock and Netscape installed, it wasn't mainstream. When Hotbot was launched and could actually search with some degree of

The problem is Japan has been in a deflationary environment for so long that they've forgotten how to bump up a price and turned into a nation of misers. I've witnessed first hand the collective hysteria when an ice cream company

Wow. Choosing your wife for you? Who and where was this company?! My experience with a traditionally Japanese run megacorp/zaibatsu in the heart of Tokyo is much more like a traditional western company. The minutia of HR is very Japane

To be fair to your article, it actually reads quite well and has good detail for what's covered. I thought the big-o coverage was a bit sparse, but I also didn't see the expand link the first time.

This is a good cheat sheet for those who don't have (or have forgotten) the knowledge but want to game an algorithm heavy interview. The problem I got with this is exactly the same as when I tried reading the "Cracking the Coding

My apartment in Tokyo has a similar system, and the apartment before that. I'd guess that most modern buildings within the 23 wards have it too. Don't know about other cities. You use the same electronic key that you need to get i

For C#, Framework Design Guidelines by Cwalina & Abrams. Very clear and concise pointers for well structured and easy to read code. It's a little out of date now though, wish they'd update it to a third edition.

Sorry, I should have finished my coffee before typing. What I should have said was it's not available in the Australian App Store.

US App Store only at this stage it seems. Pity, I'd like to try this. edit: I'm wrong. it's in other stores as well, but not in the Australian app store, which is the one that I tried.

I'm working through the 2nd edition at the moment and finding it very good. I'd tried a lot of primers and summaries, but I needed something that goes into deep technical detail to have it really click in my head.

Why can't a dev have much idea about design? Design is not just what it looks like and feels like. Design is how it works.
