There used to be a programmers.stackexchange.com stack overflow site where the more general questions and discussions could go, but the moderation on that has been just as misguided lately, so I think the owners forgot the purpose of it.

The moderators feel any question that can have discussion should be closed. They just want one right answer, anything with multiple is bad by their definitions. So if you are getting discussion, you are actually just experiencing the common

Aren't you leaving out all the networking by the games by doing that? My college was famous for blocking multiplayer starcraft games a new way every week and us students finding a way around it every week. Kind of sad Blizzard eventual

It's dead as a door nail to any owner who wants an update after paying $1500. It's dead for any developer who wants to write a consumer app since consumers can't buy them. It's dead for any startup that wants investment

You may not realize it, but a lot of web developers still only know things like ASP, .NET, ColdFusion, PHP, etc.. So knowing modern languages and APIs like Go, Ruby on Rails, Python, NodeJS JavaScript, etc. is already a step toward speciali

Xamarin and Titanium compile to native code and use native components, so they wouldn't have the same problems as a JavaScript and HTML solution like Cordova does. Particularly re performance since they don't run in the web view w

Actually there's an order you are supposed to apply things like that. Maybe someone came up with it after the fact, but there is a determinative way to make a list of adjectives sound right.

There's several cases in Chinese where you just have to add a da or some other meaningless word just to get things to sound the correct way with the right number of syllables and word spacing, however. The rules are different, but it&#

I think the moderators are doing a good job. Read what the IAMA mods have stated. 1) They couldn't do their job with Victoria fired and no liaison so took things down temporarily while they figure out a new way to work. 2) They communi

Supposedly the transition plan is to start monetizing IAMA: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CI9iYW7VAAAzzJN.png Something Victoria opposed, so getting rid of her is part of the plan.

Good point about reusing. Re keys, though, he flat out says he uses them at the bottom.

This was great for getting a free month of AOL every month for years back when that was how many people connected to the internet. You just came up with a fake number that worked with this algorithm and you were good. There were even lots o

I still use Swarm. It's pretty fun and me and my friends are always checking into interesting places and posting interesting places. I found Foursquare kind of useless and uninstalled it long ago. If I want to research where to go I us

This is definitely parallax scrolling. Watching the items far away as you scroll forward and backward. The ones farthest away seem to gather at the center of the screen. As you scroll you don't just move in and out you move left and ri

I don't see how JPEG could be used in this case as the images clearly have per-pixel transparency in the borders. Maybe if you had PNG masks or edges and JPEG central content, but that would be twice as many images.

Pretty bizarre. He says he is "favoring ease of development over performance," but the best way to ease development would have been to use a well known language like JavaScript or C#. Those are the two scripting languages in Unity

The Google Maps API for Android is one of the rare SDKs that continually gets worse over time. In the Android beta it actually had more features like driving directions, but the classes were moved off into undocumented classes, then made un

Unfortunately, I've been the dogmatic person in a lot of cases. Often the feel good viewpoint is just clueless and going to lead the company into real problems. I was recently at a company that was working on a custom AOSP build. Their

Very accurate. Honestly, reading Chomsky in a lot of places he says things like there's no way a baby could learn this, it must be hard coded in their brain! Then in baby studies done later we actually find babies do have a natural und

Doesn't seem to support iOS, so I wouldn't recommend it for any development where you are hoping to earn money, but could be a fun thing to play around with and learn, maybe, I guess.

Doesn't seem obvious at all to me since I know several drivers who do rides for several systems at the same time. How could they be an employee or three companies at once? They aren't, they are clearly contractors. You can see mul

FFmpeg on Android also tends to make apps ridiculously huge when needed due to the need to support multiple architectures. Worse if you want something like x264 as well.

The article claims you can't set the combination word, so probably assumes it is always a valid dictionary word preset by the manufacturer. That said, the WordLock web site says you can change the combination, and obviously you can on

This is basically what Capital in the 21st Century said too. People who reinvest money they make into making more money are getting richer. Those who spend it are not. Pretty straight forward.

Facebook is actually well known for deleting drugs, gore, etc.. You should consider every picture you post to Facebook to be queued to be seen by a moderator. A cheap, third world country moderator, true, but one none the less.

That would be fine for men, but women would just be flooded. They already get thousands of messages on dating apps. They aren't going to go for something that doesn't let them weed people out without a conversation first. That jus
