One of the nice features of the Android hierarchy viewer (provided with the Android SDK) is that it lets you dump your app's visual structure as a PSD with layers - very useful for working with a designer. Ask your developer!

This is great! If apps start following this it should significantly improve the Android user experience, as well as making it much easier to design good Android apps.

> Won't using a high-level language incur an omnipresent speed slump? Yes, but most programs don't require high performance everywhere - in a library like JGit for instance, most operations are probably plenty fast written in Java even

Nice debugging! Definitely worth a read.

I find it kind of interesting that in Haskell, which is arguably even higher level than Java, most of these optimisations are eminently possible.. EDIT: This obviously came across a bit as language fanboyism, so I guess I should mention tha

I think Xtend has extension methods for any Iterable that do what you want: http://download.eclipse.org/modeling/tmf/xtext/javadoc/2.0.1... Point taken on Strings though - in this situation you'd want String to extend Iterable but it does

I was quite interested in Kotlin, but Xtend is already out, and does most of the interesting stuff. I think there's definitely room for a "better Java" - most Java devs should be able to pick up Kotlin or Xtend and be more productive very q

My cousin's wife is a teacher who works with kids with autism, so this might be useful for her. Thanks!

I'd like this too - but I imagine part of the reason why this hasn't been done is that the recommended libraries are still in flux. Text is a very recent library, for instance. Personally, I'd think Hackage getting some kind of support for

Surely if the roads are funded by townships or regions it's no different to the current system (i.e. it would need to be funded from some kind of regional tax, rather than a federal or statewide tax as it is now). I think roads are often us

From the website of the company that runs the facility ( http://www.npoenergomash.ru/eng/ ) it would seem most of the tests are of engines which use a liquid oxygen/kerosene mixture - presumably not much more toxic than exhaust from cars..

Anecdotally, speaking as someone who knows a number of young people from Singapore, they certainly smoke weed just as much (perhaps even more) than people I know from the UK. Have you considered that perhaps a zero tolerance approach just d

I'm not sure I'd necessarily agree with your assessment of parsing as a field in 2011. There are still a lot of unsolved problems going forward --- see Laurence Tratt's excellent article on the subject for a few details: http://tratt.net/l

The design is pretty similar to how every other modern OS does it, I think - what would you change if you had the choice? I mean, it's not as clean as things were, but we've come a long way since then in terms of features so obviously simpl

Login with Facebook would be nice. Also, have you guys thought about having some of the featured content on the front page? It's easier to get an idea of what it's about if you don't start with a clean slate and don't have to create an acco

Have you ever used anything in the ML family of languages (e.g OCaml/Standard ML/Haskell)? You barely ever have to write types in these as long as your program makes sense..

The semantics of the dialect of C that CompCert accepts are precisely defined, as are the semantics of the assembly outputted (that is, it's not strictly x86/PPC/ARM or whatever but some subset with defined semantics which happen to line up

by njs12345 15y ago
In this case, the semantics of the C subset chosen are captured perfectly by the assembly produced by the compiler. Seems like that's the intent of a compiler to me :)

The edge cases would involve unsafePerformIO - you can't use map with functions in a monad, that's what you have mapM for :)

My point was more of an observation about the aristocracy point. Often the rich do still take significant risks with their wealth even though the effects of inflation are negligible on them. I'm unsure about the deflationary aspect of bitco
