As someone trying to quit caffeine for health reasons I can relate to this. My current strategy is to replace coffee with caffeine pills so I can control the amount exactly and reduce it slowly until it reaches zero. Also, having to take pi

I am not a physicist but I believe the answer is yes as time is affected by acceleration.

This sounds very familiar. When I was in University I didn't understand why some people didn't care about grades and partied so much. When we left school and got into the real world I understood why: they had rich parents with co

I too hate corruption. It's the main reason why the south of Europe is doing so badly. If corruption was lower where I'm from, Portugal, we could easily double our GDP. Corruption makes people miserable and not only the ones forc

I grew up in a similar environment, saw lots of friends and family destroy their lives out of boredom and general bad company. One of the reasons I hold so much affection for my childhood computers ( Atari 800XL, C64 and the Amiga ) are bec

Creative coding, as in, producing visuals and audio with code is what drew me into programming initially. I wish that like the author I could devote 100% of my working time to this, but I am still lucky to be able to do a bit of it in my sp

I have been writing a game on my spare time that has an audio sequencer for interactive music. It currently runs on iOS and OSX. Initially I thought about doing an Android version as the code is all in C++ and it would be easy to port, but

I learned how to program on a C64, an A500 and a A1200. When Commodore went bankrupt I was so heart broken I considered quitting programming. According to this article, Irvine Gould had a lot to do with this. Not sure what to feel for the m

I am a bit sceptical about this startup. Two friends interviewed there and both weren't impressed. One of them is the best developer I know, with decades of cutting edge AAA games engine development experience, including in the MMO spa

I use both on a regular basis, VS for my job and XCode for hobby work. I prefer VS because it performs better when editing and navigating the code base ( it is actually faster to run in it inside VirtualBox than XCode natively ). Also VS ha

I know a developer that earns well above 1500£ per day writing and maintaining x86 assembly embedded in C++ for finance applications. That is higher than the going rate for Haskell in finance afaik. So yes, still relevant.

As someone who recently joined the firm to develop software for the terminal I find it heartwarming that it is so well regarded in the HN community. I did struggle a lot with the UI initially though I hear that most of users are hardcore a

Absolutely. I don't watch much TV where I live, but I was in Japan last year and it was amazing how many adds for Candy Crush played on TV. And they used celebrity actors as well. I am not under any illusion that my side project is go

Back in 2002 I worked on some plugins for a color grading system that supported 4K. Internally it processed color in 12 bits per channel and I think it supported 10bit color output. This was running Linux with NVidia GPUs and was totally am

As a Portuguese I am amazed this is on HN, but as others have mentioned there is no coup. The President just followed the rules and mandated the most voted party/coalition into government. Minority governments have been empowered many

I used to work for Stellar Trading Systems some years ago. AFAIK they are doing very well. They have multiple APIs for algo-trading and the access is very fast and robust. Definately a professional tool though.

Not sure, I have never tried moving the instruction pointer after Edit & Continue. Moving the instruction pointer backwards has been fine in my experience if you choose a suitable line to reset your state.

Edit and Continue in Visual Studio is similar to that. You can change the source code while the program is paused in the debugger, for instance in a breakpoint, and continue after your modifications.

You could say that the current Greek problems are a consequence of bad governance, but that alone is not enough. See Finland for instance: http://www.nytimes.com/2015/07/03/opinion/paul-krugman-europ...

Dune is one of my favourite books and I actually enjoyed David Lynch's film. I would love to see a modern cinema adaptation, but with the current political climate it might be impossible to make a movie about a messiah leading religiou
