   I'm jealous. I have yearned for this type of work for years and I haven't been able to find it. I loathe the commute to an office. I don't want to pay the price of living in a "tech city". I'm even tired of was

   Cool, but needs some depth of field effect added or something. I cannot draw.

   I would venture to say, with no facts or figures mind you, that if you were to evaluate the number of lines of code dedicated to kernel programming to that of applications running applications on the Internet, that the resultant figure woul

   I, for one, do not believe these complaints at all. But, I cannot speak for others. I just don't feel that the field is large enough, and the exposure is long enough, to actually disorientate or to confuse one's equilibrium.

   Um, we're talking science and evidence. No need to proselytize here.

   There is no way they would 'port' away from Java. JetBrains has been building this platform for more than a decade. This is what has allowed them to support many operating systems concurrently and with great results. No need for t

    Did you even bother looking? It states on the linked page that the code is under the Apache 2 License and the download page states it too: Community Edition FREE Lightweight IDE for Python development only Free, open-source, Apache 2 licens

    I am just really looking forward to the lambda support. I don't care how it's implemented (generated anonymous inner classes or whatnot) or if the syntax isn't exactly what everyone might have wanted... I just want some simpl

    This seems really cool. Unfortunately my app crashes and I can't see any logs to know why. I have some ideas as to why, but I won't know unless I can get to the log. I posted a message to the support link but no response. Logs wou

    I still don't know why storyboards (all views and segues) are implemented in a single file. I talked to some Apple developers at WWDC last year and this year about the issue. I explained the possibility of actually saving controller&#x

    Thanks for the link. I will pass this onto other developers I know who have trouble understanding this topic. I recently read this book and it's the best book I've ever read about pointers in C: Understanding and Using C Pointers

    And it's about time. I was really hoping for a shiney new UI/UX but nope. That thing is just antiquated, buggy, slow and well, if you use it, you know. But, it's quite necessary to have it up and running! I had originally tho

    "You'll never look a door the same way again... particularly if it has a handle but still expects to be pushed open." Oh yes! It's one of those "WTF" moments and you want to find the company that designed that

    The "Design of Everyday Things" is probably one of the best books I have ever read on design. It's poignant for any designer of anything a human interacts with. Even though this book doesn't touch computer interaction it

    I'm not here to argue, other than intellectual arguments... You call my definition narrow. Not sure why. Can you describe what a GC does in a single sentence? I'm just going for a simple description. It also doesn't matter if

    I'm just responding with my thoughts on this... I don't think native vs. a browser based is a 'single feature'. It's huge. Without access to the SDK's real power you lose a LOT of functionality and performance.

    The OP mentioned that Objective-C's memory management is deterministic since it does not use a garbage collector. The major benefit is you know exactly when the memory is reclaimed (at zero references). You cannot determine when this w
