It can be a long buffer, but maybe not a FIFO but a priority-queue. :)

I am not sure. I've learned programming on the C64 when I was 12 years old. I used Basic. On the other hand a friend of mine used a so called 'game maker' to create games. His games (which he created without programming) looked much more pr

Trivial programming work is extremely cheap nowadays: it is done by hobbyists or students or it is usually outsourced to countries where unfortunately wages are very low. It think there is high supply of people with basic programming knowle

Yes I am serious about building a business around this. My strategy is to simulate as much aspect of a virtual person's life as possible, because the simulation of different aspects strengthen each-other, makes the simulation more precise,

"The problem with these kinds of organic ideas: startup geeks and developers are all similar." Yes, this is my greatest problem. It is even worse: Usually most of my reasonably good ideas were some kind of developer tools. When I search for

I think you need both talent and persistence to be successful. And I agree that talent is generally overrated (but needed). If you have some talent and also some persistence in things which you like, than you may still have some problems: y

Yes you are right, it probably depends on the domain. But still, I have a feeling that there are some languages which are more concise than others generally because of reasons which are very generic: For example imperative languages with lo

I don't want to sound negative, but 'greatest program ever written' is really an overstatement. He has created this program, because he needed to fit into 1k. If it was needed nowadays, hundreds of programmers could achieve this result. (I

Thanks for your help, I appreciate it. Unfortunatelly English is not my mother tongue. I've applied your suggestions to the site.

Hmmm, a valid point. So by trusting the user's own judgement, I could make the user experience simpler and faster. On the other hand it is a temptation to cheat, which might be a problem for some users... Maybe there should be an option in

Thanks, these are good ideas. I have also thought about making it 'internet-based' in the future, so that using some kind of synchronization the user could use the same data on her desktop machine and on her phone.

The reason that it is a desktop application is that it is able to run in the background, and pop-up a question dialog periodically. On the internet lots of things (for example advertisements) are competing for the the attention of the user.

Another competitor which I did not know about. Does it support cross-word puzzles? (I try to emphasize the fun element of this, in the future I may try to include other games also.)

Thanks for mentioning SuperMemo, I've known about some competitors but not this one. Currently I cannot answer you, I've have to look SuperMemo in more detail. Does it support cross-word puzzles? That's something what I did not find in (oth

Other platforms will be supported soon, I've implemented this in QT. I just wanted to release as early as possible.

For me it is more complicated than that. Whether humanity accepts 'Copyright laws' is more an ethical issue for me than technical. A more trivial (and a bit demagog) example: if technology enables the creation of very cheap and very effect

I don't agree with the post because there are projects when you know in advance that the project will be big. You can probably avoid to make it HUGE, but you cannot keep it small. Trivial examples: - Writing a web browser - Writing a profes
