   I was "forced" to update to lollipop in order to add lollipop support for an App I'm working on. I must say I was pleasantly surprised. The upgrade was seamless, and I immediately felt the improved speed thanks to android&#x2

   TL;DR: webpages can look better and contain more information if your screen is portrait instead of landscape. Personally, I'm afraid about the ergonomics of such a setup. Our necks and eyes are better built for looking left and right.

    As an embedded programmer with a strong background in C/C++, I'm always a bit disappointed that simple bit operations are considered magical by programmers today. The game looks really cool and sleek, but I can't understand h

    I've only learned to really appreciate Android Studio after I went back to Eclipse for a project, and felt the sharp drop in productivity. Jetbrains sure know how to produce an awesome IDE.

    This isn't such a far fetched claim. In Israel for example - you get taxes deducted from your pay check every month, directly by your employer, based on the assumption that will be your constant salary for the rest of the year. Now let

    Google created their own browser in order to embed Google search as your default search engine and homepage. Not because of an altruistic quest to make the web faster.

    I really hope Google one day adds a "battery usage" and "network usage" rating for apps in the play store. Common users are pretty helpless when it comes to figuring out which apps are killing their phone.

    Still great news, even without a port of VS to OSX or linux. Personally I'm perfectly fine with using a windows PC as my development station, as long as I can create cross platform .NET code. Extensions enabled on the community edition

    Together with the Visual Studio Community announcement https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8595855 , this is great news. I've always missed the power of visual studio when programming for open source platforms. This ca
