Lamenting the lack of architectural appreciation remains worthwhile. Why? Humans conform nature to our needs. If we need a better building, why shouldn't we tear down an old one? All of the previous building's history will remain docum

Maybe that's the problem at Microsoft: they think they can solve problems by throwing lots of people at them. No they don't.

You seem to be suggesting that the choice of AT&T was a bad one. How quickly we forget that AT&T was the only carrier that would allow Apple to develop the phone almost completely without influence. Verizon was choice #1, but they

My fiancee's 3GS was passed to me, and my iPhone 1 was thrown in the bin.

[Taking more time to develop features correctly] just sounds like it takes longer for stuff to be released This attitude demonstrates a pretty significant lack of experience.

It's around this time that I discovered the existence of what I call "Magic Land". I was working on a bug with the boss encounter and accidentally found myself completely outside the 64 room map. I was wandering through memory that was nev

Same. I think the key here is persistence. Recently, it took me over four days to solve a certain 3D animation problem. It was frustrating when it wasn't working, but because I threw all of my spare time at it, it eventually got done, whi

A person who doesn't smile, or isn't overly friendly is a douche-bag? Generally, yes. It's human nature to be judgmental. You can disagree with it all you'd like, but ignoring it will directly impact you in a negative way. It's why I try

You don't. On day one, my wife spent a couple minutes covering the gap with a piece of scotch tape. It's almost impossible to see and it worked flawlessly. Anyone who drops $30 just to solve the antenna issue is either lazy or a fool or a f

That probably cost some unfortunate soul at least two to five years in his mother's basement.

It's satisfying to know that I've avoided wasting my time at the gym. Instead, I go through life accepting the fact that I'll be dead by 80. I find it both motivating and relaxing. Instead of literally wasting 20% of my time at the gym, I c

23 hours per week vs 11 hours per week? I call this a warning sign because it screams of post-hoc analysis. Unless they then used these as pre-specified cutoffs for later studies, I would be very cautious not to overinterpret. What exactl

Congrats. :) It's worth noting that this won't ever happen again, though. This was basically a one-time gain of $X. So hopefully they don't wind up back in this situation.

Really? It experienced the worst-case scenario -- running directly into something at full speed -- and came away completely unharmed. "Rock solid" would be how I'd describe it. It would be very tough to implement "collision avoidance" wit

I would love to learn more. But you haven't provided any concrete stories, references, or even descriptions in your response. Just a lot of what seems to be gossip.

So.. What did the translations actually say ?

WOW. I've been using Vim for over a year and had no idea about this. Holy crap, that's awesome. My only regret is that I have but one upvote to give! I always used to do F(lvf)hc rather than ci)

Interesting idea. Extending this, I would like to see comparisons between different brains. Some people are more intelligent than others in different ways , so perhaps by examining the relative differences, we can see how different peopl

I tend to think of her more as a way of life than as a description.

You don't? Oh. ... But seriously, for the same reason you refer to 'x' in Python like it's already defined. It's just a symbol.

Lol. I recently bought an iPhone 4 for Emily. We were messing around with it, and she called me while we were in the same room. So I walked over and moved her finger to a certain spot on the side of the phone, and I immediately could n

you could -EASILY- define a function of data/voice connectivity as throughput to a percent scale. "But data and voice have different quality of service criteria and blah blah blah!" So make up a function that accounts for this.

Just curious, how did you do the inflation adjustment?

So don't use exceptions. They're not needed and definitely make C++ code far more complicated, not less.

Short and to the point, lacking any kind of fluff. Very refreshing. Almost every other article of this kind is so incredibly long that it feels like a game of "spot the explanation".

Think of it this way. A program is just a set of bytes (which are numbers from 0 to 255) which describe what it should do. The goal of most programs is usually just to read in some data (again, just a set of bytes) which is stored in memo
