If you know C++ I'm guessing you know object oriented programming and its terminology. The only thing new to you in Java should be the syntax so start with a template for defining a class and work your way up from there. My background is mo

There were some problems with the authorization process with twitter and I had to refresh the page several times before it took me back to the application's main page. Also, it's a little confusing when you ask for email and password before

I like it. Although the login process failed on me several times.

Did you miss the part about the revolving door? There are no legal issues because the ones that need to make sure everything is happening legally are bankers themselves or close friends of ones. So you standing there and saying "I see nothi

What exactly are they trying to accomplish with this policy? The stackexchange network of sites has "fake" names all over and yet they do business just fine.

This was really cool. It just goes to show you what an experienced programmer with the proper understanding of the tools can accomplish. He right away zeroed in on the blocking nature of certain operations and "erlangized" it, making the en

The interesting bit is that these "security" companies actually work with various government agencies and get tons of taxpayer money. Most politicians are clueless about what computer security means and have even less of a clue about cyber

People had been doing some pretty nifty stuff even before the native SDK for webOS came out so I'm not sure what you mean by open sourcing it. Among the various platforms they are probably the most open and their developer tools are light y

Why does Siegler comment on technology he doesn't understand? The holy grail of mobile development would be a minimal runtime that would work on all the mobile platforms which developers could use to factor out the common base of their appl

I really hope they do come out with something nice. I wrote applications for the palm pre with their ares IDE and it was a blast. They just don't have the user base to make it worthwhile for developers and it sucks because I don't think any

I like your idea but what are you going to do when a lot of people start visiting on the least busy days turning them into busy days? I know from personal experience that Wednesday afternoons between 1-4pm are usually the quietest times in

Ya, and? They are also taking information from a whole bunch of other sites collected by their users and incorporating that information into ranking search results. I don't really see how this is inherently wrong.

You just said you can give away your photos by agreeing to not have any access rights to it and still own those same photos. It seems like you are using a different definition of "ownership" or maybe "click stream" than I am so this argume

Of course not. Try inquiring google or bing about obtaining all the information they have gathered from your toolbar and see what response you get. Actually I'll tell you: "The gathered data is anonymous and we have no way of verifying who

What do you suppose google does when they are faced with a novel query and their algorithm returns 10 equally good results as matches? At that point you might as well provide a whole bunch of users some permutation of the matches and take i

You should be able to share your results with whoever you want but that's not what happens. You share your data with just bing and google. You don't really own any of the data you are generating so saying you should be able to share it with

I didn't suggest it should be our job to make it easy for them. I want great results too and I want it without ads and spam getting in the way as well. In fact there should be more tools integrated into browsers to allow the user to own the

If this joint toolbar comes to fruition, which it never will, the crowd will decide the obvious winner for practically all queries. At that point what will be the difference between Bing and Google?

Many activities become enjoyable after a certain amount of mastery. Overcoming the initial hurdles is not fun and it's important to stick with it but it seems like some Chinese parents overdo it. If you just give up because you can not over

It's not like being the players and participating in tournaments is such a hard gig. They are often sponsored by various technology or clothing companies and get to do what they really enjoy. The casters also get to do what they enjoy but t

All the things you mentioned requires a lot of effort. In fact it's more effort than just actually providing one or two good answers and questions a day. Also, I have never seen any of the popular answers get answers that are not really clo

The old forums had the same system so there is nothing new or brilliant going on here, the stackexchange sites just measure things in terms of reputation/votes and the old forums did something similar with posts/replies. The only innovation

by ddkrone 16y ago
The voting is a crude proxy for correctness. I say crude because sometimes the first few answers get way too many votes for simply being the first but over time the correct answers float to the top.

What game and what advantage? It's a Q/A site. The only way you are going to game the system is if you ask clearly delineated questions and provide thoughtful and clear answers.

There is nothing sucky about the stackexchange sites. They are designed to be useful and growing repositories of frequent question and answers. The whole rep/voting thing is just a gaming layer on top to make the process of participation a
