   I'm a fan of eclipse, but this release reveals an interesting thing about the organization, they aren't very effective at communication. If this had been an intellij release, a bunch of screenshots would have been on their main pa

   A big reason nastaliq is not widely available on our screens is because rendering it correctly requires 'context sensitive shape substitution'[1]. Simple substitution of one character for another is not enough. I've spent a c

   So why would Oculus acquire Carbon Design, rather than contracting them to design/build their products?

   Doesn't look like "Start Developing iOS Apps Today" has an option to switch to Swift.

   I, myself, am waiting for the 'getting started'[1] docs to switch to swift before I plunk down $99 for the pre-release software. [1] https://developer.apple.com/library/prerelease/ios/reference...

   The documents for ios 8 show all examples in objective-c. Can't wait for them to be updated to swift. I'd love to start with 'getting started' and work my way through rest of the docs. I'm a programmer but could nev

   I don't understand all these negative comments. I love the re-design, and I love the general idea of re-designs. In high-school we used to have 'focus correction areas' where our teacher would put up one or two sentences (poo

   I'm rooting for MS. My (not so serious) test for windows is simple: the day I can resize dos command prompt as easily as terminal windows on linux/osx is the day Microsoft I need to seriously consider going back to windows :)

    Thanks, I actually meant how useful this book will be for professional programmers who want to understand financial math? (btw, I actually bought your book already :) )

    Looks very interesting. Is the table of contents final? I didn't see any mention of fixed income. Will this book serve as a good intro for a programmer from the equities world (no specialized math or finance training)?

    I didn't know about MicroConf. If you are the kind of person who attends MicroConf, would you know if there are websites like TechCrunch, geared towards 'micro' startups? The kinds of startups which are generating enough reve

    I'm a big fan of Chronon[1] for Java. Run a program and record everything about it. Use the same eclipse debug interface as always, but also have the ability to re-wind to an earlier point. Check out the state of any variable in the co

    I used to listen to his interviews a year or two ago, during my commute. He is a fantastic interviewer, really digs and asks specifics of how an entrepreneur decided something. Congrats to him!

    This is something I have been trying to find the time to do. Something like this is great to learn how the JVM actually works, and can improve the way you code Java. I always found it incredibly boring to read language/vm specs but bui

    So does that mean one can reasonably expect to use official F# implementation(compiler, vm, libraries) in Linux within the coming months/years?

    I agree, I'm excited. Hopefully the optimizer can take full advantage of these column stores. However, postgresql isn't the only open source column store. MonetDB is another one. It is an academic project but people do use it comm

    People who haven't used a bloomberg terminal often don't realize that its value is far greater than the data it provides. The article already mentioned network effects due to chat system and other similar features. Another compone

    I don't see your point. I'm no economist but from what I read in the article, are you disagreeing with the premise, that aggregate demand is low, or the solution, that giving money directly to citizens will increase increase spend

    The editor looks good. I'm more excited about the fact that this is a good looking desktop app, built using, what are normally considered, web technologies.

    Interesting, just last night I was searching google to see if it is possible to write a guitar tuner in html 5 :) I just started learning the guitar. When I do basic finger exercises, I have no idea if I'm plucking the right string. So

    As non-mainstream languages go, in the financial industry, Scala is picking up steam. However, clojure is at the top of my list as the language I want to learn, despite obstacles of limited time. Lisp has an impressive pedigree and Rich Hic

    Like Clojure, I like that Erlang has lots of interesting ideas. I may never use either in production, but Erlang's OTP sounds very interesting as a way to handle real-world scenarios like failure handling. Similarly, Clojure's dat

    You make a grand for 3 thousand daily visitors? That's much higher than I expected! Is it normal to earn over a thousand dollars a month for a few thousand daily visitors?

    nitpick: the image on your page doesn't look right. It takes too long to load for such a small image and it isn't clear. Perhaps you have a large image which is being re-sized by the browser? I'm on firefox, windows 7.

    I'm curious to know what you like about gradle. A few months ago I had a chance to work with gradle and it looked to me like it was a step away from declarative project descriptions, back to writing loops to iterate through files, etc.
