The problem with permissions on Android is that it is an all or nothing choice. You either grant all the permissions an app asks for or you decline, in which you can't use the app. Is it really that difficult to have a list of fine gra

The power of Xamarin is obviously that you have a single language (C#) even if you have a "fat" UI's that are platform specific. Having a single language means that you can have your business logic as a single code base rathe

HTTPS is only secure if no client credentials are stored on the client, e.g. hard coding a username/password pair in a mobile app. If a user needs to supply a username and password it would be OK I guess..

The last three items on the list are very true but don't really have anything to do with SCRUM, that's just the way it is and you probably already knew this before you started using SCRUM. :)

What a non article. As if iPhone apps don't have these keys in them. So, now you have those keys. What are you going to do with them? Just because you have the "app" key doesn't mean you have access to any sort data. The

I could very well have got it wrong but the way I understand it was that in a file system such as ext4, if a file is somehow corrupted in memory and written to disk you might not be able to recover from this and the file might become usele

I was actually interested in running a ZFS set up but after talking to some people they advised me not to run ZFS on a system without ECC memory. Reason being, if corrupt memory would be written into your ZFS set up you won't be able t

I had a similar experience when I moved out to Australia (from the Netherlands). At one place I worked for a while I was paid with a check! Can you believe it. They'd give me an envelope that opened on the side and it had a piece of pa

I did a similar thing many years ago. I was a heavy Windows user and in 2004 I decided that I wanted to know more about Linux. There was new distro around at the time called "Ubuntu" and people at work were raving about it. So I s

An off topic question; Would it be possible to have an RSS feed on your blog? I see you have Twitter but personally I don't really use that.

About a year ago I was ready to jump ship on PHP. Then someone introduced me to Composer, Symfony 2 and Doctrine 2. I fell in love with PHP again, not because of the language but because of the tools. Its now clear to me that the language d

I'm really interested in these but I've heard reports on flaky casings made of cheap and thin plastic. Do you have experience with these yourself and if so can you share your findings?

I think it was around 1992/93, I was deep into graphics programming for games. The conventional way was to first draw the background and then draw everything on top of it (i.e. sprites etc.). However, this is wasting a lot of bandwidth

It's not about turning down a potential 100k. It's about the commitment of the investor, i.e. to avoid the tip toeing. A potential 100k investment is not a 100k investment.

Disclaimer; I have no experience with investors what so ever. To avoid the "we're in, we're out" scenario would it be possible to ask investors to sign a commitment agreement when they agree they're in? E.g. an inve
