How do you know Google did anything?

USB isn't good enough to carry all of the data signals out of the device, without abusing it completely. At that point you have a good excuse for not using it.

What's the motivation behind buying the whathaveyoutried.com domain name just to point to a single blog post? Does anyone know why Gemmell did that?

I think the sentiment there is that it's where the money is, so there's no shortage of developers creating apps.

But why is bigger, more and faster automatically better or more innovative? All three of your hardware choices (assuming the lower level details are understood) have a direct worsening impact on battery life for example and so need to be ch

So each quad-core SoC appears to the outside world as its own system and only communicates via Ethernet? Not useless at all, but it's not clear how the SoCs are presented.

I think you mean Standard Template Library in that context. The C and C++ standard libraries aren't referred to that way (at least not commonly!).

I read these articles bemoaning Apple's skeuomorphic application UIs, usually evoking the spirit of Dieter Rams to put their point across. In this instance it's classed as "horrific, dishonest and childish crap". I understand the strong fee

What's the motivation for everyone to add noise to Yegge's obviously broken claim that you can reason about software engineering in such a one dimensional way?

Why do you hate that fact? It's not like the PS3 is a bad console in 2012, incapable of incredible modern games. The console lifespan is lengthening as a general rule, and for good reasons.

I think the point is that there's very real value in understanding how the machine works at a low level. While it might seem like arcana, and while you might think that you understand the constraints more or less and be aware of how the mac

In these cases doesn't the value in "Wow, this is really useful." completely outweigh the cost of having to learn something else if it does go away? It's not like you have a finite set of things you can learn and then that's it, brain's ful

That's not true. The graphics hardware vendors do help (we have a well-staffed team of dedicated Android driver engineers, much more than your 4 or 5) and we work directly with Google's myriad Android graphics engineers. The drivers are as

zsh, vim, git, pry, ack, htty, pv, multitail to name just a few of the most common and powerful things in my daily text shell arsenal.

So teach yourself not to make the mistakes because the next person in behind you working on your code might not know what you mean. If you know the difference it's just laziness to not communicate correctly. As for periods outside of parent

Why wouldn't you just use a media query and serve based on that, rather than make redundant requests?

Obvious question: how could a court tell it was actually prior, other than to take his word for it? Seems useless without proper proof that he didn't write the code yesterday.

With iOS 6 announced and Jelly Bean just around the corner, Microsoft can't really afford to just sit there poker faced until it's done. It's a wise tactic, to maintain interest when it's clear their competitors are moving forwards.

We tip our hat right back! It happens to be pixel-perfect for us in this context, and it's a large part of why we draw so efficiently. Oh, and I still have a working m3D-based system that plays SGL games under DOS!

Warm fuzzies for calling us Videologic instead of Imagination or PowerVR. Your description of the layers between an application and execution on the graphics core on iOS is pretty good. There's nothing between driver and hardware though. A

Of course eating isn't a one-off option, but it's highly unlikely that anyone will be using income from this to make ends meet. Mirroring the tip analogy offline, I don't go into my favourite restaurant and tip the service staff there every

Do you really think the tips should be recurring to the same person every week, rather than also having a one off option? Also, once you've started tipping someone, it's possible to stop?

How do you think we get anywhere in computing without taking a few risks and trying new things? The fact that the old operating environment is right there means you can carry on as you are and the rest of the world can give it a shot and mo

In the Twitter case, there's nothing stopping the bully starting a new account and tweeting from that instead, post block. You might have complete control, but a lot of the time it's only after the fact.

Rule #4 is a nonsense. Why should the data you pass to a class to initialise it be publicly accessible on the class afterwards as a matter of course?

I think the OP is referring to some devices not letting you remove the first account you add to it, forcing the factory reset if you want to do so.

Something that happens on that landing page makes it almost impossible to use my browser's back button and navigate back to where I came from. That's after not having a clue what you're asking me to sign up for.
