Yes, ASCII text of three decimal values per line (if I'm remembering correctly): 3.0 4.0 5.0 4.0 4.0 8.0 One of my favorite sort of problem was one that could easily be solved if you could handle arithmetic with integers larger than 32/64 b

It depends on the underlying representation. I know it's almost never anything except IEEE 754 now, but it could be different. When I was an undergrad doing the ACM programming contest, one year we had this triangle problem where, given the

There are some slightly uglier but cheaper alternatives for Raspberry Pi users that want a lower-profile SD card. They might be too thick for a Mac's SD slot though. There's a $12 version on Kickstarter now: http://www.kickstarter.com/pro

I was making about $30/month from Amazon affiliate and Adsense on two different blogs. Once Panda hit, my Amazon affiliate blog died but the Adsense one (sports) does more like $150/month now

I'm curious why you didn't use the stock iTunes app store badge. That might convert slightly better if you get some site traffic. You should make sure to go through AppCod.es preso on app store SEO. I am regularly amazed at how bad my compe

My experience: There's always interest in an Android version, but rarely enough sales to justify porting the average paid iOS app. The only likely benefit to you would be having those Android apps in your portfolio if you need to do consult

But you can't publish the app in the store, so few people can use it. Closed ecosystem :(

Yes. There's shairport and many XBMC builds include servers to receive AirPlay audio and even video, but not AirPlay mirroring. (There are really three levels of AirPlay - audio, streaming video, and mirroring - essentially the whole device

Reflection has recording built in. It was pretty laggy for me, but my MacBook was on wifi and maybe bogged down with other stuff running and the app I was running pushed a lot of pixels. (That's a whole lot of 'but' there. I need to try it

I've seen the same thing happen everywhere from Usenet to Slashdot to Reddit. It's just how things go online, especially when people are allowed to be anonymous or just don't care about looking bad.

If I'm right, this was a fantastic job of link-bait. Users, especially parents, hate in-app purchases. But that's the way the app market has gone for now. So far I've been able to resist but except for educational apps (schools have the wor

The app was released seven days ago. I'd say 200,000 * 0.67% * $2.99 ($4,000-ish) is a nice first week for an indie game. Now I guess I know how I can get Penny Arcade to feature my next app. http://appshopper.com/games/gasketball http

For me it had a lot to do with who taught my math classes. Out of all of my high school math teachers, I'd say less than half really understood what they were teaching beyond the most superficial depth. (It was even worse in my science clas

I know it's pretty universally ignored, but Apple's guidelines are that you should not use the white device frames for app marketing.

If you've spent your career with RSA SecurIDs hanging from your keys, this isn't much of a hassle. I didn't realize that LastPass and others can use the Google Authenticator.

I've repaired quite a few laptops. I was lucky to have inherited a stack of older Dell Latitudes from work when our kids were younger, so I got rather good at swapping parts to keep the best ones running. Besides swapping keyboards and scre

The management types above you will never understand why you wouldn't want to move "up" the ladder to management. That's the way they're wired. If you're a techie, you may never be able to think, talk, and act the way that they do. Don't fo

I do both iOS and Android and get a lot of interest from companies and recruiters. Except for one company, everyone is more interested in iOS skills. They'd love to have both but iOS is in bigger demand and higher shortage.
