Fair point, I guess if a movement to burn the Koran "...contains harassing content or hate speech" I have to wonder what other ideas and writings, in Rackspace's considered opinion, might violate that clause in their TOS? As this isn't a l

While I like this in theory (because burning the Koran en mass is a stupid idea) I'm troubled by it in practice. Does this mean that if I espouse on an idea that Rackspace doesn't like they'll pull my service? Obviously this has nothing t

An imagined future with no grounding in the present is as useful as an oil rig on a hot air balloon. ;-) Keep inventing the future...but ignore the Luddites at your own peril.

I'm not sure a little stop energy is such a bad thing. I'd say take their views with some salt...but Silicon Valley tends to be an echo-chamber. What's important in the valley isn't always important everywhere else. Unless your business/

There's more to New York than old money on the Upper West Side. I just moved to Brooklyn from the Mission (in SF) and I must say they are very similar. The art isn't as burning man oriented but the hipsters still carry iPhones and I get d

Yup! Just moved from San Francisco to Willamsburg. Must say, it's almost the exact feel I got living in the Mission ( was there for 3 years). The other unsung secret here: Many bars have wifi, bad coffee, tables at which to work...and b

Looking to comments on an internet post to asses the maturity of a generation is like indexing Hacker News comments to determine the technical prowess of the mid-west. People who write comments on blogs are, by their nature, on the outside

Wasn't 'OnStar' supposed to be exactly this service for your car? I guess it morphed into a 'please call the authorities' or 'please unlock my vehicle' service instead.

The fears about Android fragmentation are, in some cases, overblown. The point that concerns me is that this guy has, or has gotten his hands, on every one of those Android devices. This is a feat that most Amateur developers cannot afford

Google already has a strange split concept of 'users' and 'customers' when it comes to online advertising. I imagine they can split the concept further when it comes to handset manufacturing. That aside, this is _the_ issue of the Android

In my experience, getting an onDestroy() call doesn't mean your process is about to be terminated/unloaded (this may be different in newer versions?)

by haseman 17y ago
After you press the 'Back' try holding the 'Home' button down for a second. You should still see the application in the list that comes up. Further, after you receive 'onDestroy()' your activity isn't actually unloaded. It just 'could' b

While Android might be internally consistant, the hardware drivers that support it isn't. Everywhere your software interacts with the hardware is suspect for fragmentation. Google will have compliance testing to force OEM's into correctly

Thanks for the feedback. #3 was meant to be a more than a little sarcastic, but I guess it didn't mesh well with some of the others. There are really two types of fragmentation. The first is UI screen size, which isn't too hard to work wi

Hey HN, (author of that article here) was wondering if you guys had any general feedback. I'm an evolving tech writer and I'm always looking for pointers.

I agree with your sentiment. Further, new classes have a small (but not immeasurable) hit to performance as each object, when created, must be initialized and tracked in memory.

I'd also add that the people who control salaries at a software company (particularly small ones) are usually not people who understand the development process very much at all.

You keep executing the function because it's on the stack. The program counter keeps moving through the method until it hits a return statement. God help you if you try to reference one of the class' internal data objects as their heap sp

Anyone who thinks Google Wave is an email replacement hasn't used Wave either.... It's buggy, slow, and there are some user-interaction cases that just aren't covered. I look forward to it living up to the kind of system it could be, but i
