Good points here but lots of questions remain: What happens when you have competition with 10x or 50x the VC funding? What happens to long-term product development when all you do is short term / small-scale improvements in order to &#

Most C++ IDEs have problems, probably because C++ is a difficult language to fully parse. I’ve only ever used Visual Studio and KDevelop. That's me, about seven years ago. Then I tried Qt Creator. Now I'm an evangelist. It just

To OP: Not sure why you deleted your reply but anyway: Here's three more thoughts (I'm not a lawyer so please double-check this with one if you think it's relevant): 5) Could you get a loan to fund this? Do you have any valua

This is a tough situation to be in and you have my empathy. 1) If you have properly set up a vesting schedule in the operating agreement his claims would be pretty baseless and assuming there's no other basis for his claims I'd ve

Congrats, this works really well! The placement of the AR content is really quite robust and snappy. Technical question: What are you using for scene recognition/localization? Any particular image features? Any off-the-shelf libraries?

I've asked myself the same thing. I think burn rate alone can't explain it, unless they are paying their employees way, way over market rate. Probably what they are planning to do with the money is a couple of acquisitions. I&#x

Maybe consider that many people just can't act that fast. Some may not have even been in town. The average time from when people heard about the announcement until the first snow was falling was probably just about a couple of hours. I

I would love if imperfect #includes (what I understand this tool is supposed to point out) simply became a compile warning and part of the toolchain. I would love such a feature and would use it a lot. However wrt this project I just looked

Please excuse my ignorance on this matter but will this technology have any impact on the hierarchy levels below disk (i.e. RAM and CPU caches)? Compared to Register, L1 and L2 access RAM access is still really slow. Will non-volatile stora

This whole talk of shields up and shields down is of a suggestive psychological kind and it bothers me. Taking shields down implies that shields have been up before, yet the article fails to explain why we're dealing with shield

Ideas are cheap because you can have them lounging your chair doing nothing but thinking. No risk-taking involved. No years of hard work involved. The reason Silicon Valley (rightfully) values execution so much more than ideas is because it

Is that 10 dollars as in 10 dollars, or 10 dollars plus a 2-years contract for phone and data that sums up to something like 500 dollars (as it is with the iPhone)? Obviously in the latter case the money is made on the contract, not on the
