Neat. Seems like a good weekend is coming up. I was wondering how was the gifs/images done? I would really like to see the code if it was done programmatically.

It's already happened with the lynchings, killings and sporadic riots, but at scale of India, it just doesn't leave a big enough mark. It's kind of sad really. India rationalizes the most horrific acts of humanity, shrugs and

I am not sure about this. India has never been good at conforming to a particular point of view. Aurangzeb tried it. Indira tried it. I read an article about traffic of a country implying how lawful it is. And just before reading this, I al

Ok, So I have only ever done backends and some android stuff,and been trying to learn building UIs. It's been hard. This post finally cleared some of the confusions I had but was afraid to ask.

platform/packages is open source, but I guess the split is done so that the manufacturers can ship their own versions of these components. Also I guess manufacturers are more responsible for these components now.

Not sure. Several of high change frequency components from telephony were moved to platform/packages. Also Google has probably not dumped the latest changes yet.

If you don't mind, would you share the reasons for making Deco open source ? This obviously looks high quality and I guess developers would be open to pay for it.Was open sourcing the project always the intention? Not that I am complai

Merging Chrome OS with Android means that now it will have access to the humongous ecosystem of App Developers, Platform Engineers, OEM's, ODM's, cheap ARM chipsets, a gazillion of tiny hack shops across China, Taiwan and India a

From the book: "But it has comparatively few features and is unlikely to add more. For instance, it has no implicit numeric conversions, no constructors or destructors, no operator overloading, no default parameter values, no inheritan

I want to say this to my Product Manager, and if aren't doing this already try investing 10-20% of your time on doing hands on work. Details matter.

Interesting. Was wondering how hard it is to get a work visa?

I guess it's about doing the best you can within your comfortable time frame. For e.g last week, a colleague of mine was trying to execute a statically compiled program like an executable i.e. ./myprogram.go and then raised hell

True there are many who take a job to survive. But I think you are confusing "passion" with motivation. A motivated team member would not sit back while her teammates are passionate about the work.

As a low level android middleware guy with little knowledge of css in practice, I found this guide: http://www.basscss.com/docs/guides/basics/ very effective. Especially the recommended order of css commands

Join back the medium-large engineering job if you could. Cancer treatments are getting better everyday. But priority one is buying yourself as much head room as possible both in terms of money and time.

I really want Firefox OS to be a success. After working in AOSP firmware for last 5 years and dealing with vendor walled gardens, I wish there was a truly usable open source phone.

I think being always right in this context means being less open to consensus and taking up more responsibility of execution. This could be very crucial in a fight or flight situation. Most of the time this is a very natural response to adv

What good luck I have! I have been fiddling with a procedurally generated 3d world and there are all these great articles about procedural art up on HN. Anyone know of an example project for a procedural 3d world?

What about the legal implications of this? If a vehicle is in a collision and there is indication that the software might be responsible, who takes the blame? This is going to get really bad.

"you could allocate huge amounts of memory compared to Java without any issues". No sir. It still comes under the process memory account. It works in practice because coincidentally other processes were not using that memory.

Well allocating on ashmen does reduce the UI lag since its just a memory pool and espaces GC reprimand but it's definitely not safe. Such operations are better handled at Gralloc/HWComposer Layer where you have a better handle on

I bet I can put together dozens of people who think OOP and MVC are bad programming paradigms, another dozen who can make war on the quantum of documentation. We already know the solution to this problem: We need to hire people who have the
