Nope. Android apps are, with one caveat, independent of any particular architecture, due to their Java/Dalvik base. The only situation where anything developed on x86 would not also work on ARM is if you include native code via the NDK (whi

I wouldn't be surprised if an impromptu communication protocol (based on assigning meanings to things other ships can observe you doing) sprung up pretty quickly to allow networking. At the point that ships can communicate, it's bound to co

Gah, why would they use a bar chart for the "Getting Into Github" diagram and then not stick to anything resembling a consistent x-axis - at first it looked like it might be exponential, but it's not even that. The bar sizes are nearly mean

Seems to me that the advice in the OP is intended primarily for someone doing a startup (or planning to). In that circumstance, you're probably not going to stick with such a high risk, even for high potential reward, unless you yourself fi
