Because the value of the output of the person making CRUD apps is presumably worth more than $150k to their employer, right? If a company pays its employees more than the value of their output, they'll go out of business.

Fantastic, that's a lot better than the other Vim plugin I tried! Thank you. g; and W/E support would be nice (as someone said on this thread, everyone has a different subset of Vim they use ;-) )

The frame is missing the tube between the rear wheel hub and where the pedals connect - it would presumably splay out if you sat on it.

A thousand calories of broccoli will effect your body VERY differently than a thousand calories of soda. To be fair, that's 3kg of broccoli ;-)

When you factor in kids, mortgage, pension, car, travel costs etc, it probably ends up being a bigger dent than you'd think for a lot of programmers.

Isn't saying "No joke" in the headline kind of cheating, though?

Interesting - is there an intention to rewrite the whole thing gradually and move away from native? Any reason it's not listed on the React Native site?

The Facebook app doesn't use React Native[1]. It used to be HTML5 but they rewrote it mostly native[2] [1] https://facebook.github.io/react-native/showcase.html [2] https://www.facebook.com/notes&#

Exactly. 18, already capable of producing a witty, intelligent presentation like that and he can assemble a mainframe? He's going to go far.

Yes - I wonder about that every time I see an ad for Apple Pay or some other payment app. Contactless is rapidly becoming the default, so how do you compete with it?

Would that be feasible to automate as a browser extension? Something like Ghostery, except that tracking scripts are run in a sandbox that returns random but feasible data for API calls?

Yes, that seems to be a mainly US thing, I've never seen it in the UK. GCSE (13-16) 'coursework' was 20-30% of the final mark, but that was completely separate from homework and only done in the last year or two.

Wow, this prompted me to go look for a GPL PalmOS editor I wrote 11 years ago and _someone's put it on GitHub [1]_ and updated it 2 months ago. It was the first serious programming I did. I used a bizarre structure where the each onscr

Interesting. Is that still the case if you go in with the intention of writing portable code, though? Or was it just a case of taking a large single-platform piece of code and porting it? The main issue is that Java's portability has h

by zelos 11y ago
Right now, C++ is less portable than Java..., that really have this ‘write once, run everywhere’ thing. As someone who's currently rewriting a massive Java project in C++ so we can port it to other platforms , this made me laugh. It

I believe there's a fair amount of evidence that praising effort, not cleverness or 'being gifted', is much more productive for children in the long run.

My first thought was that's going to have a big impact on the NHS and the care industry: "Metcalfe says there will be temporary exceptions for people with skills such as nursing, because there is a shortage in the U.K." Presu

Seems to use ~100KiB/s doing normal editing stuff in Writer. Doesn't seem like that's going to scale very well to a whole office typing away?

by zelos 11y ago
It's pretty unpleasant to use for me too over an ordinary office internet connection: there's noticeable lag for simple UI actions, and there are image compression artefacts when things change quickly on screen.

It was pretty odd. I was on the outside (we were developing the office software) but it was clear Palm were struggling. I don't know the original plans, but it was our longest running project - 2 years maybe? The platform kept changing

I miss the Palm days. They did so much right, it was really sad watching it all go wrong. I did a lot of software work for the ill-fated Foleo. It was such a nice device when they first started working on it, but just so badly managed and d
