Fascinating article, I love compiler design. I wonder if code cache locality (of the interpreters) ever becomes and issue or is that level of concern irrelevant because that's ages away from being the bottleneck. What other issues (besides

This app has always made me feel a little stupid -- what's the use case? I get the SDK use cases (e.g., for a dieting app or a library cataloger), but is the main app a marketing vehicle for the SDK and a "check this out, gee whiz!" kind o

How is this possible? I was very impressed but could guess at how it worked with the first several answers/questions listed, but this one blew my mind: “Classic candy bar that’s a female Supreme Court justice” — “What is Baby Ruth Ginsburg

The problem I run I to is inconsistency. Some crosswalk buttons still matter and it's far easier to just hot them every time then to remember whether this one is still wired up. That sad, a cool experiment to do with kids would be to detec

Agreed. It will probably be what pushes various grandparents of my children into getting iphones (given that my partner and I have them). The reduced friction of it vs getting out the laptop, starting up skype or iChat, etc., is a huge

Because that's the only way to parse the durability of glass being mooted by the fixedness of the battery. Maybe you meant "until I can swap the battery, I don't care what changes they make to the case" or something similar? It's genuinel

What I like about the thread is that it's a window into another world of geek humor whose countours I'm familiar with (they look a lot like the countours for cs humor) but whose specifics are largely unintelligible to me. Great read.

Agreed. I've noticed this on other threads, thought this one will most likely put it into it's sharpest relief.

Does this mean YouTube's compression settings don't target a specific bit-rate but instead aim to make it "no larger than X and at least y% smaller" than what was uploaded? I'm surprised it's not just a pass-through at a certain point (if n

Diet could be a huge factor. I would keep a food log along with notes on how you are feeling. Therevan sometimes be a lag between consumption and effect, but you may notice patterns. I would also try the above diet (look into a paleo low

I'd love to be a fly on the wall for the screaming matches between AT&T and Apple. This must be a prelude to AT&T losing exclusivity on the iPhone and punishing Apple for it. With all the data intensive iPad apps (e.g., Netflix) a

I think this is the app in question ("Go go"): http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/go-go/id300106575?mt=8 ("It's driven by the GNU Go 3.6 engine") I ran into a similar issue with a GNU Backgammon app. The publisher (who wasn't charging for th
