The only advice I can offer is to keep as much code gui-agnostic as possible. The usual advice, really, just applied to javascript. Then you can use something like http://jsunity.com/ to test most of it. Gui testing is inevitably harde

Updating the Pre may actually be easier. The thing's a cell phone, so it's always connected. If they planned for it, they could have isolated the iPod facade code and made it easily updatable over the air.

Io can do fast vector processing if you use its vector library. That's what I assume is going on.

Wipro? Kind of a biased party. My group at MegaCorp has hired an army of testers from Wipro. (they're generally competent within their job description, which is about all you can ask of any consulting company) Anyway, the point is that

This article tells me two things: (1) static analysis is not complete, and (2) static analysis is not useless. (1) should be obvious, while (2) is implied but not stated. If you care about testing a lot, then it's perfectly reasonable to

That's not to say that static analysis didn't find any problems at all. Just that the other, more extensive, methods found them first. Which speaks well for their tests. If anything, I would say that this speaks more for good static anal

I work from home for LargeCorp USA (writing software) while my wife teaches English. One advantage of working for the man is that The System can be used to your own benefit.

No more than anything else. Can't comment on Chinese, but I'm well into studying Japanese (and living in Japan now) and it doesn't strike me as fundamentally more difficult than English. It's really easier in a lot of ways. Languages are

Because it's better than nothing at all. And way better than VSS, which what the target audience of this article is probably using.

Ha! I remember having an encrypted copy of this on a CD set I had when I was a teenager. I sent away for the license key to decrypt it. It was free, but they had to check that I was a citizen and not dangerous. Somehow I still remember

I like WPF a lot. It has its issues, but overall it's quite good.

But for a DJ looking to beat match songs, it's a pretty important thing.

Can the actual talk be found somewhere? There's not a whole lot of information in this blog post.

The Non-Designer's design book has helped me 1 of every 5 days in the past month. I also recommend it.

Might be the recommended amount - it probably wants some space for a disk cache.

Sooooo... I develop for windows. And though I'm not writing for vista (who would?), I am using the toolchain. Most of which can easily target XP. It's a very nice improvement over what came before. Should I ever have to run my software

In emacs they call this general capability 'flymake', I think. Perhaps that+google will get you what you want.

Yes, clearly FUD. But also an interesting reflection on the mindset that the current business environment begets - namely that wherever there is data, there is also money.

I fundamentally don't understand this kind of thing. I've seen it at http://nicovideo.jp , where most every video is COVERED with text. Doesn't seem all that useful. Maybe it's a cultural thing? But then, there are many things I don't u

A touchscreen doesn't replace a mouse - as you've noted it's not precise enough. It can work with a UI that's designed for it specifically. But you give up a lot of screen real estate to make that work. (I've spent the last 3 years worki

Ha! It's true! Except instead of an army of social news up-voters, it's mostly just the one guy and his blog.

Had I read it I would have seen this, I suppose. But frequently users just don't read the text.

I didn't realize I should click and type. Instead I looked for a toolbar button. But once a figured out how to do it (by reading another comment, actually), I really liked it. To accommodate that style of learning, you could have a 'text'

This is cool. I was able to figure it out in about 30 seconds. The text is a bit off... I assumed that there should be a toolbar button. Maybe it would just give you instructions...

How is this disruptive? Is it significantly cheaper than expected? The capacity is larger than before, but it feels like an incremental improvement to me.

That bugs me too, but I write it anyway - all my code has to be localizable, and I'm not about to write that code for who-knows-how-many languages that I don't know. There are usually more important things. But it still bugs me - polish i

Also, you should seriously consider replacing NUnit with mbUnit. It's far more powerful and will save you a lot of time once you get comfortable with it.

You have two major choices, NAnt and MSBuild. I recommend you learn MSBuild and how to deal with visual studio with it. That way you'll be more effective in the long run. Unless, of course, you're not using the MS toolchain. Then NAnt is
