There is harm and foul here. Apparently, they developed iteratively and failed to do "premature optimization." Fact is, hosting servers costs money, and developing optimized software costs money and time. The pirated copies are costing th

So I've created a shim for iOS. You play a gentle, low sound, not unlike goats bleating. Then you check the accelerometer[1][2] for the unique pattern of sound waves rebounding from the hairs of theuser's beard. (Remember, the iOS accelerom

Graham isn't a conservative. He consistently splits from other Republicans. He's criticizing his own party as a party of "angry white guys" when he says this. Surely you don't think Graham considers himself on the same side as "angry white

One thing to take into account: A lot of racists probably are technologically backward and don't use Twitter. Another thing: I'm sure that a lot of racist tweets were NOT detected by their methodology. Still, it's true that racism is mostly

For a really simple example, you could try a Todo app. For example, this site does the same thing for a number of JS frameworks: https://github.com/addyosmani/todomvc For something more complex, you could try to simulate a mail client (ma

I generally use wget myself. For basic HTTP debugging needs, I run ":%!wget -Sd http://www.example.com inside a new vim buffer. Then I can read the Varnish headers or whatever and figure out what's going on. I ran into an issue where the

Right. It's due to interference, particularly with your monitor. Some configurations of hardware are worse than others, however.

The problem is the idea that a single elected official can somehow represent the entire United States. Can one person understand and represent 300 million people? Impossible. At least, impossible on a deep level. Such understanding is possi

Google claims that prices have fallen and that the supply chain is efficient enough to bring down prices: http://www.droid-life.com/2012/11/02/googles-director-of-bus... We have seen over the last 20 years that computers not only get fast

It's not about his preference of the UI, it's about his preference of phones that do not appear locked down. He prefers Nexus because of the stock Android UI (nothing to do with iOS UI here!), but even more he prefers nexus phones because G

Cool! Thanks for posting. I've wondered about creating a vim-style editor that would know more about a particular language. For example, I greatly enjoy using Surround.Vim (which knows about quotes, parens, and braces). It would be neat to

The Xoom is really solid, now that they've upgraded to Ice Cream Sandwich. I often tell people wanting a new laptop to just buy a Xoom. You can't get better bang for your buck. I have a Xoom and I totally love it to death. I love it as a ta

True, this is something of an experiment and may not be the optimal way to educate. At least, not yet. But Xoom tablets are $200 today and the price for tablets continues to fall. In a year or so, there will be e-readers on the market for $

You might have missed his point. He's contrasting the Nexus 7 (7 inches) with the iPad Mini (7.9 inches). He's saying that the iPad mini is sufficiently larger that it doesn't feel like a "big phone" -- unlike the Nexus 7.

Firefox also runs on ARM Android devices. So it's not just IE10 that runs on multiple architectures.

Hi Tim! Nifty animation on the front page! I've played around with rotations / border radius animations, cool stuff. It looks a bit funny on Gingerbread (Android 2.3). You could try adding a fallback for browsers that don't support transiti

Wow -- just reading this, I felt my concentration patterns change. This is why, as a Christian, I meditate on something, instead of simply emptying my mind. I spent an hour or so in Psalm 119 this morning, contemplating a few verses, comp

Really saves time. I used a threshhold of 35 at first, then I upped it to 50. These days you probably want 75 or 100 if you really want to sift through the less important items. Or you can just subscribe to daemonology's RSS: http://www.da

It's very sad for me. Marco, I love your insights. I would love to pay you and (by extension) pay the great writers you will find. But I can't. I've wanted to get into the Apple ecosystem for years, but the hardware is simply too expensive.

Sorry, but your comment did nothing to convince the person above. In fact, you may have just turned a middle-of-the-roader into a lifelong enemy of your cause. I'm sorry if I'm beating up on you but this problem is huge in our circles. Can

Ignorance of the law is no excuse, but knowing what you're doing is really a black mark against you. Hypocrisy implies a blatantly willful action. It also obliterates your argument. It is arguing against your own case.

The big problem is the movie-themed sets where all the children do is reconstruct scenes from a movie, instead of using their imagination to create novel scenes.

Maybe coffeescript programmers could just use their brain and choose not to descend the Infinite Staircase of Obfuscation (the carrot's not worth it). Just because Coffeescript can saw your foot off doesn't mean you have to.

UIWebView on iPhone stinks pretty badly, too. Which, indeed, bears out the GP's point.
