That makes sense, thanks. I wonder if a window of opportunity could open up if Mt. Gox service improves, or if there's a price difference at which arbitrage would become plausible. I did notice there's only a cent difference betwe

I disagree, I think even if anti-prism litigation is successful there's no way we can trust the government to not do it again. I think there need to be ubiquitous technological solutions to ensure a basic level of privacy, and short of

Sounds like the same kind of idea from this Assange interview - he presents an idea for a naming system where something's name (url) is intrinsically tied to its content: http://wikileaks.org/Transcript-Meeting-Assange-Schmidt?noca...

I've recently had the recurring idea that it would be awesome if I could do this with music, I found this after a quick search: http://overtone.github.io/ (+ it's an excuse to learn clojure) Anyone have experience doing this with music, &

Someone who leaves his car door open & his car running is obviously practicing poor security. But it doesn't take "some twisted logic" to show that a thief is still culpable for the crime if he takes the car. I don't think the analogy b

I used to set-up, deliver, & train blind users on Windows machines. Windows is the most popular since it has the most user-friendly accessibility solutions. My dad started the business I worked for, & he's been totally blind since b

I think the data is interesting, but the point it infers is absolutely moot: I have personally derived a a HUGE amount of educational value from several MOOC's that I never completed. That's part of the beauty: you can learn what you need t

I disagree, I think if the OP was attempting to make a fair analysis, he should have acknowledged the third option. My immediate thought was the same expressed in this comment, as My & Your add wordiness. I suppose it depends on the ove

Most of the Windows 8 stuff -- including this policy -- makes Microsoft look like a Johnny-come-lately, taking Apple's lead, with the only difference (though it's a pretty big one) being that their two operating system paradigms bleed into

I find this interesting because as a former artist, the reason I love programming is that it scratches the same creative itch. I'm not sure if I fit in the 'Creative Coders' category, since though I was an aspiring artist prior to getting i

I think you've missed the point: 1. cloning an existing product is probably a very good way to learn about the platform and learn about game programming, and that learning process seems to be the post's main drive. 2. your subjective respon

The problem is the vast majority of directors who fancy themselves a Kubrick, but whose ego trails somewhat ahead of their skill, and who thus succeed only in offending the DP and diminishing the quality of their film.

Lenses are a different class of camera component. The camera itself is just a dark box to advance film, the lens is everything in terms of image quality. The only other component on the same level of importance is the film stock itself.

Even if the stats were correct, it wouldn't make any difference to me as an iOS developer. The author seems to suggest iOS development is apple-win and developer-lose. Which might be the case if iOS were not an in-demand skill. But as a dev

Not off-topic at all, I'd definitely like to hear more about this. I read a few 'use git to publish a live site' explanations, and settled on the post-receive hook because it was the first one to make sense to me and work, not because it's

Much more complete list than mine, ha. Pelican supports github pages as well, though I decided not to use github in order to learn git better -- which should have been the singular title of the article as it turns out ("benefit") but what t
