Some might consider looking at more than just the time dimension though... Much more memory and more verbose code. I find that this adds up in real systems as there is less to tune for optimal performance and less code to audit.

I wonder if we'll see more user-side emulation of intrinsics given new __attribute__ flags compilers are implementing. It certainly is easier to reason about. Go doesn't have anything like that yet but I wouldn't be surprised if an experime

Well, this article wasn't about _inline_ assembler. Regardless, inline forms have a number of problems, the biggest one being supporting multiple platforms w/o a bunch of preprocessor noise. That doesn't stop it from being useful for certai

I guess that's what you get with pseudo native interface toolkits. Honestly, I can't stand using it, not because it doesn't work, but because it's so inconsistent with everything else I use.

That's great to know. I could probably turn the screen backlight off for a second while taking the shot. I'll play around with some shots from my camera to see how they vary. I'm looking forward to hearing more about these sorts of features

Might there be a way to sample white balance throughout the day to calibrate it using a webcam and a white sheet of paper? I'd probably start using it again if I could avoid fine tuning color temperatures manually.

It allows multiple platforms to be implemented w/o a series of macros.

I didn't say inline. I said linked. It's pretty easy to add.

Lots of optimized code in Go's standard library has fast paths in assembly which is linked into the final binary on a platform by platform basis. I this sense, it's probably easier than C to drop into assembly. Granted, Go's memory model is

Packages are given paths or URLs so they might be a subpath but it's not really a subpackage of any sort other than by name.

First slide. It seems like he's employed by Apple and being paid to work on this. So yes, I think calling it Apple's solution an apt description.

I felt like I was in a similar position until I discovered that there are vibrant indie game scenes on many other platforms [0]. So now, when I get the urge to spend on games, I try to remember to support indie gaming first. I will mention

It's a fair complaint. Duplicating code just for the sake of type specialization is annoying and interface{} has it's costs as well as dangers. However, the built-in arrays, slices, and maps (which are parametrically polymorphic) seem to ha

I think that's more of a matter of scheduler still being immature. Erlang only added an SMP scheduler in R11 due to the complexities of managing internal state without sacrificing it's soft-realtime abilities. It was also only really reliab

Techically that'd be new revisions since the iPhone comes in multiple SKUs. I think there are 3 different storage capacities multiplied by 3 different radios ( http://www.apple.com/iphone/LTE/ ) and 2 different colors so that makes it 18 di

Given other common things I've seen filtered, I wouldn't be surprised. I don't think the intent is to sensor as much as it is to keep the news a little more focussed. Still, I wish there was a bit a transparency with a viewable list of what

I usually used reading list to share across devices but it did take far too long for Apple to add the live tabs feature. Definitely a feature I wish I had up until developer betas awhile ago.

I don't know about others but I really like the two-finger double-tap to zoom (pinching too) and the reader mode (and reading list if you use multiple devices with safari). These things seem standard on mobiles but still haven't made it to

I don't know about "dumb clients" as it specifically talks about scriptable agents.

Each video is a story of entrepreneur. It's short and to the point IMO.

Usability and prefer are two words that are dangerous when used together. While it worked, I found it completely unusable on my phone and tablet. I'm not sure the mouse would serve any better either.

The fourth option is to break your problem up. Not all problems should be handled in one pass by one giant program.

I agree on the general notion is coding involves a lot more than meets the eye. Given that, it's probably impossible to claim that coding is learnable in anything less than years of work. Even then, we all know that we learned, one way or a

Richard Stallman may have been right about the issue but that doesn't mean is approach to solving these issues nor his philosophy are in the same bucket. I'd say he's always been right to a point since what he said years ago was true then a

JRuby outperforms most other Ruby implementations today by a large ratio from all my testing of non-trivial code. That isn't the point though. This is still a comparison with either immature JIT implementations or pure interpreters so I don

The demand for tech education is pretty high in NYC right now. I'd imagine those schools are already doing things on their own. I'm sure he's hedging his bets that either those schools will come around on their own or something new will fil

Good summary. All in all I don't get why the SV comparison is even appropriate. SV is will always be a specific mix of elements. Each one NYC picks up will be replaced by another nit that shows how NYC != SV. What is true is that NYC is bec
