Refutations: 1. A lot of games already support the Sony Experia Play gamepad layout which is extremely similar to this controller. I own that phone, there are plenty of games. This is just plain wrong. 2. Nonsense, plenty of fantastic games

How did you solve MySQL's unicode limitations with Perl?

yoklov, for some reason I can't reply directly. There are a few common lisp libraries of persistent, immutable data structures that perform well. This one is implemented most closely to Clojure's: https://github.com/ks/X.FDATATYPES . This

As a part-time PHP hater who often has to work with it professionally, I believe this is a fantastic resource. The bit on databases in particular is something that all PHP devs should read. That said, it is difficult to bring a legacy code

If you violate the GPL license on code you are distributing, you can be legally compelled to stop distributing the code and pay damages to aggrieved parties. You cannot be compelled to fulfill arbitrary requirements of the license, like sha

Made in USA is about much more than just patriotism. In the USA, many people buy locally produced goods since it supports the local economy better, reduces carbon emissions from shipping goods half-way around the world, and isn't produced i

The original is freeware and runs nicely in dosbox (warning, it is rather fun). I'm backing this just as a thank you for making the original free.

Hm, what if there is an error in processing and you've already sent the "HTTP/1.1 200 OK" and started streaming output? You're better off utilizing caching and other optimization based on profiling.

mod_wsgi + Flask (or just about any WSGI-based python app) is relatively straight forward: http://flask.pocoo.org/docs/deploying/mod_wsgi/

Looks like another overpriced Google TV. I already have one, and it isn't supported very well. Never again.

Looks like a nice API (in a few languages) on top of some basic AMQP functionality backed by RabbitMQ. We're building something rather similar (for internal use, not a product). Might have to keep my eye on it, though it's hard to tell what

Very fun, needs a keyboard -> piano key mapping for maximum pleasure. Oh, I see it's open source, too bad I'm at work right now.

I've found Vim + Slimv + SBCL an adequate development environment as a long time Vim user.

I've really tried to make a conscious effort to always assume that someone's opinion is valid, even if I disagree, and to extend this to all matters of taste and opinions. I understand that some developers like working in Windows, or enjoy

This device doesn't look like it will work well in my lap. I use a 5 year old laptop that I'm pretty happy with. I have a tablet that I never use but that's mostly because I don't like touchscreen interfaces, except on phones where they are

I ran into a wall when trying to use unix-y tools to do somewhat complex, regex/replace functions for code refactors. Basically, anything inside a single line is easy, but once you cross that line barrier, the complexity increases dramatica

I'm not the poster, but Hardy is an LTS release that is still supported in server configuration. It's quite a bit newer than Centos/RHEL 5, which is widely deployed on servers (potentially the most popular platform for existing deployments,

It's an up-front investment in time that pays off over the long run. I do it all the time in programming, pick the right API's and abstractions ahead of time (spend a good amount of energy and time) so I don't have to spend as much time and

Most JavaScript implementations are faster just due to the amount of R&D dollars poured into them due to browser competition. Ruby, Python, and PHP could (and should) have runtimes competitive with, say, V8, it's just that nobody has b

You're making a lot of assumptions that aren't true. I regularly instruct doctors on my condition in detail, they do usually listen and are reasonable. However, I am often disappointed by the lack of depth of the research they do in advance

Yep, it's also disheartening to see them holding a printout of one of the few articles available online, which I already know is pretty out-of-date and down-right wrong in places.

It pays to become an expert in your own (or your family members') medical conditions, because you'll quickly become more of an expert than 99% of the doctors you will rely on for care. It helps when they all ask the same dumb questions, whi

I'm just a working developer. I'm not looking to start a business of my own any time soon. I'll say one thing: I don't work for companies that cut paychecks out of rapidly dwindling venture capital funds and I don't work for large corporati

Have you read RFC2616? It is quite approachable, and this is an improvement over the plain text version. Any web developer worth his or her salt should know about it enough to at least look up status codes and headers. It's resolved a numbe

Programming tastes evolve over time. At one point, and for at least a few years, I believed Python was the one true language revealed mystically to GVR. Up until that point, I'd done most programming in C++, so you can imagine how much fun

Every fraud prevention scheme is going to have false positives, so there's no excuse for not providing the user with an appeal process.

Any given site might not experience a DDoS attack, but if you run a hosting company, it will happen. The frequency depends on how many customers you have, how popular they are, etc. If a DDoS attack catches you by surprise, then you are ver
