In practice, I charge my phone when I go to bed. So as long as the phone lasts for the day's usage, I'm all set. (I don't know how long Android phones' battery typically lasts.)

When I've needed to work with Java libraries from Clojure, I've continually felt that Clojure provides enough abstractions over Java's syntax/conventions to make it not an issue. Java libraries are so numerous and prevalent that I'm growing

Here's a translation of that to Clojure, since I'm learning that now: (use 'clojure.set) (reverse (sort (map int (intersection (set "letters in this sentence") (set "a

If a competitor's phone was as good as the iPhone 4 in all other areas, I suspect they'd get a little bit of a pass too.

- Copy to Clipboard uses Flash. - Google chat doesn't use true system idle time.

If you think your product has potential even with your misgivings about the site design, go ahead and launch. Release early and often, as they say. As long as your design isn't dead-awful, such that it makes users feel your product is untru

Hotels might love this. I remember seeing something similar, with an N64 hotel console a while back.

People can't always be right, eh? I was mistaken. You're right, I haven't had my coffee yet.

The part about comments? Right on. Don't let the abscess of humanity troll against everything they dislike on your own website. Anyone who thinks you must have comments to be legitimate is under a false sense of entitlement. Seriously. Ju

Quality would dictate how long, IMO. Also, for this type of roundup, personally I'd get more use out of an audio podcast rather than video. But regardless, I'd want it to cover stories well , whether that takes 10 minutes or 60.

True. I hadn't considered that.

The clojure analogy actually works in favor of them switching to C++. Clojure takes the good ideas of Lisp and bolts extra convenience (and modernization) on top, just like C++ adds extra convenience to straight C.

Cool. Couple thoughts: - Are prices one-way or round trip? It's not obvious to me. - I tried to type a zip code at first, before realizing that it would only work with the City name.

How is this different than Apple buying PA Semi? Also, Apple's not a monopoly.

I'd hate to practice swimming in corn syrup, if only due to the risk of inhaling mouthfuls of corn syrup, which I imagine would be more difficult to get rid of than a mouthful of seawater.

What does the "RPF;ht" at the bottom stand for? (I vaguely recall this being an old convention of something?)

Clojure feels like a true "next step" after Python, for me. Before Clojure, I casually observed Lisp and thought, "That's nice, but I'd lose the benefits I currently get from Python's standard library." But with Clojure, taking advantage of

I created such a site here: http://gamingpeak.com/ The trouble is, most people are perfectly happy with Pogo/Yahoo/MSN game sites. They don't want to move.

Line spacing (particularly between paragraphs) doesnt match, and header negative-margins make it look uneven to me.

Interesting. Speculation: The bigger the project, the more difficult it will be to maintain order and continuity. It's not easy to fork an island.

That's arguably the same way the United States came into being: People didn't like the way the current closed system was being done, so they decided to fork a new government and invite everyone to contribute.

It's as I feared: What was previously a nearly-compatible-with-HTTP, dead-simple protocol, looks to have become confusingly, unnecessarily complex. Like XMPP. It will catch on because it's all we've got , but we're going to shove yet anoth

Also mentioned: - iPhone tethering will cost $20/month. And it only works if you have the 2GB/month DataPro plan already. - This is set to take effect on the same day as Jobs's WWDC keynote, June 7th.
