I think there's a missing area of creativity and tinkering in the iPad world, which gets seriously under-evaluated .. MUSIC MAKING. The iPad is a fantastic creativity/tinkering machine for making music. Its not consumption, but Performan

My first thought: way, way too much text. Really. This is an application that is absolutely screaming for a team of great designers to pour over things like http://thenounproject.com and integrate their findings directly into each 'thin

I love it that you're doing it in Lua. Can you tell us more about it?

As someone who has made a living in software for 20+ years, I'd love to be involved in a hardware startup right now. I mean, the kind of thing where a small group, say about 5 people, pool their resources together, get some boards made, de

I haven't seen it, but I will now proceed to catch up with the thread and learn too, so thank you for pointing it out to me.

If you're looking for a new kind of video game console, and haven't already heard of it, then you need to know about the Open Pandora: http://openpandora.org/ This device is, really, amazing. I have two. I will tell you whats so amazing

I just want to check in with you: I too am in the midst of a total love affair with Lua/LuaJIT. That one little VM has really turned into something amazing. And now, the ways it is used!!! Phenomenal.

Add Lua to your C tools collection. Put Lua where the sun don't shine, and experience a bright new C appreciation.

>I think learning many different kinds of languages is important. I agree with you, 100%. There are no ultimate languages. You have a broad field, as a developer, of words to use - choose the one you a) get along with, b) can comforta

I've been a professional C developer for 30 years. I've written C in practically all spheres of application - in embedded firmware, drivers/OS stack, userspace, web, &etc. These days, I'm not writing so much C, but more heavily dependi

Wow, that is really fascinating. Thanks for explaining it to me - its a very interesting thing to see a whole sub-internet exposed in such a fashion, predicated around a virtualization of galactic trading/warfare. Of all places to observe

Well, I'm using MOAI, for starters, and see its power. Plus there's that whole "sound is utter crap in HTML5" thing, yo. Also, moai can run where html5 cannot.

One of my favorite reads lately: "The problem is largely philosophical: as software developers we're trained to think in terms of rigid systems of objects, design patterns and re-usable code. You might set out with the great idea to build a

I believe you should be using MOAI for this project, which is perfect for the goal of having a cross-platform environment with rich media capabilities: http://getmoai.com/ If you want to discuss it further, let me know, and I welcome you

I believe you should be using MOAI for this: http://getmoai.com/ The reason is that its a high-performance cross-platform tool that can be used to target Android, iOS, NaCl (Chrome), Windows, Linux and Mac OSX. You can write one codebase

Yeah, that too.

Its clear that Speak for Yourself need to do one thing now: build a new version of the software, as quickly as possible. Seems to me, on the basis of the videos of the software I've casually viewed, they could do it in MOAI in a few weeks.

I believe it would be interesting to use EVE as the front-end for real management. If we get robotic space-probes off in the near asteroid fields in the next few decades, and little doubt EVE will still be around by then, well .. maybe a r

May I ask what platform/language your ERP is coded in? Is there a sufficiently well-evolved in-game development environment for such things, or is it just your corporation membership have hacked something together in ruby or .. ?

Come now.. research your own deep track of historical data, all you've ever posted on the Internet for 'eternity' for 'all to see', and you do indeed get a broader picture of the person behind the posts. Indeed we all have a common blithe a

Here is my new, awesome, cross-platform development methodology: use a MOAI host for iOS, Android, Windows, OSX, or Linux (your pick), which simply takes its sources from http://somewhere.at/project.zip or thereabouts. Code on a local wo

I'm talking about the appstores/repo's as technical features of an installed operating system base. We in Linux have had the ability to easily access app-store catalogs for years; Apple have built theirs relatively recently in comparison.

There is very little conditional code in the Lua sources, we do set a different theme as needed for Retina though, and yes .. at this point, we're building the MOAI host and integrating sources essentially at the push of a button - our buil

I'm using MOAI and it just plain rocks. There is no greater joy, after 3 years of platform-specific development, than having a single codebase to deploy on both iOS and Android platforms. It just makes sense.

I think redis-cli --latest is surely the best way. It polls the redis server, tells the user. Then maybe redis-cli --latest update-cli could do the actual update ..

I'm with you, at least as far as the consumerism is concerned. Maybe we are all fucking idiots, somehow, some way, but I tend to think if you've got a computer in front of you, whatever you're doing, you're in a mighty fine privilege. All
