In light of the fact that best practices have evolved considerably since K&R, what book(s) would you recommend for people wanting to learn C today?

This is an excellent model for building any lifestyle business, not just for artists. If you knew how much money your favorite customers made, and asked for just one day of their income to support you, it becomes trivially easy to work out

Beats me - I just wanted to see if a library like this even existed.

If you want to build an interactive programmable mirror, looks like Nanogest might be useful: http://www.nanocritical.com/nanogest/ It's available for both iOS and Android. It recognizes 4 swipe gestures (top, d

Two questions come to mind after reading that article: 1. Suppose I composed and memorized songs about my loved ones, and years from now began to suffer from Alzheimer's - would those songs help me remember who they are? 2. Suppose I t

You're getting a lot of fantastic ideas and advice. You're in the position to cherry pick any that makes sense to you. Best of luck in landing your next gig! My suggestion is to go to meetup.com and look for groups you'd be

I checked out Friedman's website: http://www.stantonfriedman.com/index.php?ptp=ufo_challenge Anyone know what these 5 major studies he references on that page are?

I've been a big fan of microservices for years. I believe that a good microservice has a lot in common with traditional Unix commands. And I find it funny that no one here has gone off on a tangent to talk about how horrible those are

Minhyong Kim (cited from the article) makes a good point: that "any journal would probably require independent reviewers who have not studied under Mochizuki to verify the proof." Given that, Mochizuki is stuck between a rock and

Wouldn't it make more sense to design houses that are significantly cheaper to heat but are still breathable? Could this material help in the design of such homes? A lot of people talk about frozen plumbing, but food, plants and pets a

Interesting article. Thanks for posting, varunsrin! I've been following development of SoundFocus for awhile. I'm profoundly deaf. This is a technical term classifying the degree of hearing loss; to give you a sense of where this

I can vouch for this. I used to have an FM system - this is a mic that transmits on a very specific FM frequency to a receiver that's paired with my hearing aids. I loved it because I could easily use it to hear people near me in loud

I used to work at a company that addressed testing with a three-pronged strategy: 1) when estimating, dev tests are part of the strategy (and, ideally, stories are written with enough detail to make testing strategies clear). Sometimes we

You're not missing anything. It is technically possible to design and build a business focused solely on buying lottery tickets for profit (i.e.: buy enough to ensure good enough odds to win) But there are a number of risks. The list b

I fear my comment will be lost in the weeds but here goes: Why exactly does the CRTC need subscriber data? If it's Canadian content they're worried about then maybe they should look at the content not the subscriber? And hey: I&#x

I hope the author of Edit is reading this thread. This sounds like a dream come true! The best form of encouragement is people using the software, but if the author wants us to wait, I'm cool with that - but I hope they make real prog

Everytime I read stories about dramatically shrinking cities I wonder if there's an opportunity to create a startup hub. The cities aren't always where the customers are, so probably the only kind of startup that would work would

I'm especially curious about the last point - that screenshot slides are especially bad. I gave a presentation to an audience comprising my target market, and did almost all screenshot slides - the purpose was to give a high-level tour

Exactly. But we're actually talking about 3 things: time, quality, and scope . Pick any two. I had the pleasure of working with a company that preferred time and quality, and were willing to negotiate scope. It worked really well, bec

Disappointed there's no women on the list. Even more disappointed that fully 7 of the top 10 have no indication of revenue. Remember: if there's no revenue, it's not a business. It's a hobby. EDIT: To clarify, (I noted s

I am particularly fascinated by the small topological map. I like imagining what Mars would be like under Earth-like conditions - if a watery planet looked like that, how would people live? Where would the population be most concentrated? H

Thank you, bravo22. I appreciate the clarification - I obviously misunderstood the capabilities iBeacons offered. Kind of sad though, I think there's a huge opportunity in providing hyperlocal capabilities the way I described. So let m

How I could use the storage, based on the store scenario you presented on your site: 1) Customer service: every time a mote gets a ping from a customer, log it. If the customer pinged the area 2-3x, send a message asking if they would like

I checked out your site - how come there's no tech specs page? This is good info to have, but it's still incomplete. I'm still wondering: how much flash memory? Can a mobile app send messages to the mote to write data, or are

One reason why people continue to use $30 beacons is marketing. The companies selling it for that much are clearly explaining what their tech is, and assures us that it works with iPhones. For a lot of us (myself included), this is new stuf

You should read this article if you're a (mobile) application developer. It's not just webpages that have colour.
