Indeed, as stated by the internal communication note: This test confirms the accuracy of OPERA's timing measurement, ruling out one potential source of systematic error. The new measurements do not change the initial conclusion. Neverthele

Which is the best way to learn those operators. The shortcut "/" to get to the search box is probably what I use the most, and writing "from:john to:mailing-list" is such a great time saver, if you compare to other mail clients.

True, maybe having your code in the open is overrated. I have to admit that I'm not talking from experience when I say it gives an edge. Still, as part of a 2-minute research on a candidate, having LinkedIn and Github appearing first, inste

In this impressive document, Prof Astrachan also shows that he has an infinite patience. He explains (with great analogies) a huge pile of concepts along the way, which wouldn't be necessary for a technical audience. The points 13-16 explai

Good trick. They are different algorithms, and it looks like the guys working on the search of relevant, similar apps are doing a better job! (I know one of them personally, so I may be biased.)

We launched a new application just when this issue started: our application didn't appear in any search. Then it finally got indexed, and our download rate doubled. From 1st of July, it halved again. This is a screenshot of our stats, here

A change in the algorithm for the search in the Android market is literally killing top applications, making them very difficult to discover. It's paradoxical that this comes from the #1 search engine.

What do you disagree with? The article hardly makes a point, just says that the graph is cool (their opinion), but unfair (obvious). I'd like to see MySpace in the graph, it of course took them much longer to reach 10 million users.

I'd let the user choose in such a way that they think they get a bargain with the lifetime pass. Something like $2.95 for one time, $3.95 for a month and $4.95 forever. I guess you have to be careful in your terms and conditions when you sa

I believe it is extremely important to start coding as soon as possible, and do several iterations of "learn by reading" and "learn by doing". The Notepad example in the official documentation is a very good Hello World v2: http://develope

It reminds me of the saying "Everyone has their price". I do like this principle, and I already identified several occasions in the past where we said "No" when we should've said "Yes: the price will be X", being X an amount that would cert

- Launch a couple of apps into the Market, and get some good numbers (number of downloads, rating). Yes, this is easier said than done, but this is essential for your learning too - Have a personal page where you showcase your applications.

Are you implying that it is easy for mediocre, middle-aged programmers to join Google, and consider that as the plan B for their career? I'd say the opposite.

I'd bet it's Admob in all of them. It's at least in one of them: http://s4.appbrain.com/screen?id=5092928457190719555&i=2 It can't be Mobclix, because it's extremely unlikely that he already got October's payment.

They key is to write high-quality tests: provide high 'bank for buck', and are unlikely to break easily unless the requirements change. What the article says is certainly true, there are trade-offs to make, but one needs to take into accoun

This is pretty basic stuff. Still, in real code you want to put some comments when you do something like: switch (myvariable) { case 1: { foo(); break(); } case 2: { bar(); // Your comments here } case 3: { foo
