the thing is, every device can be used for web development these days. "it’s quite possible to do advanced software development on the iPad" the author's idea of advanced seems to correspond to what i consider the duplo block

"For TrueType fonts, Microsoft has somehow seen fit to require an unsupported registry hack" this is an interesting comment. iirc it is because most 'fixed width' true type fonts aren't actually fixed width enough t

this is the price of having no or nearly no regulation or standards. as much as i appreciate the arguments for why that is the case, its important to recognise the cost of that philosophy in practice still i hope there is some legal action

how do people end up with so much money when they have such a lack of common sense? the story was a cringeworthy read. glad it worked out well in the end... but life was gentle and kind here.

when they say 'modern' fortran i take it to imply a a compiler and standard from sometime in the last 20 years. i've heard people refer to c90 as modern before.. (in the last two years) and the nasa/astronomy guys are fa

well done for stepping up to the plate in that regard. i do not see this opinion espoused, nor lived by often enough today. kudos.

well done. this is a cool app. good luck charging for it though... if there is not a free one, some free-app loving developer might waste a couple of hours of his afternoon doing the same and shipping it for free.

iirc pantone charge you an arm and a leg to use their colours...

by jheriko 9y ago
your conception of RNN as a magic bullet is sorely mistaken. for something like a meaningful name for a colour requires far more learning, data and context than is reasonable...

Annoyingly this doesn't apply on the most modern platforms... see windows phone/universal etc as well as mobile platforms, consoles and all sorts of embedded systems. (ps I did a significant chunk of this for https://co

this is very interesting to see the discussion and suggestions here all leaning the same way "does he get his work done?" being the most important bit of information required to make the decision in a almost all of the responses.

English here. Easy enough to understand too...

actually it does deal with this particular metric somewhat in a bunch of cases. e.g. replacing one letter with three that sound similar but are different adds 4 to the distance - which is quite a significant distance already.

this is really confusing. i can't quite tell if this is a good or a bad thing. yet another sign that patent systems need reform.

one look at hhvm tells me they have poor quality development practices. :P i get the impression that they use the struct keyword to avoid having to type public everywhere for instance...

how would that success have been different if they had used different engineering practices? a big part of their success was delivering results... if they hadn't quickly crapped everything out of the door, how would facebook look today
