Most renewables are not reliable power sources, the wind blows when it blows. That is why a diverse power strategy is needed, including nuclear. When you say the amount subsidised, what is your source, and what do you…
Here is the course I was taught by at university: http://www.dcs.bbk.ac.uk/~roger/cpp/ Lots of value came from the lectures with roger. Sadly he has retired, it would have been nice to have them up on youtube.

Ahh, guess my info is out of date, thanks.

Sometimes, posts like this appear on hacker news that are completely impenetrable. I read the page for RunC and the only thing I could find out about it from that page is that it is a "Container", and these are its…

Good call. In what situation is it going to be acceptable to put your hands down someones pants in public? It's difficult to imagine any situation in which this isn't crossing a line. I don't see how that behaviour can…
If you're living and working in London that's the kind of salary you'd be looking at, simply because the rental prices around here are so high. Outside London I can see it being that much lower. £26,500 is about average…
I did not know this until someone explained it to me. It was before this post, but long after my teens were over. Peoples general attitude to sex and relationships can only come from their life experiences, right? My…
This is a post responding to the following article that was posted on HN yesterday-ish: http://sealedabstract.com/rants/why-mobile-web-apps-are-slow... The point of that article was to specifically call out lazy…
Look up 'Monday Night Combat'. Devs like to experiment by mixing and matching genres, so in my experience things like this often exist somewhere. It was a pretty average game, but the idea is sound.
Sorry, I think I worded that confusingly. By 'what does the app do?' I meant more along the lines of 'how much would a front-end client tax the technical limitations of a smart phone?', so that is the hypothetical…

As you say in your post, people are buying the game irrespectively. Why bother making changes? Here are the current sales figures in the UK: http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/gamesblog/2013/mar/11/t... Debuted at #2…

I think that's an optimistic prediction for a game of professional quality, done by a single person. I reckon most of the work is edge cases, art & sound, tweaking, bug fixing, not working on the generic engine. You…
There are 3 common fallacies in this post that people continually bring up about modern languages. Thought i'd come on here and write some corrections: "There is innate overhead when using an interpreted language, no…
Your post adds nothing useful to the discussion. There is no point arguing about indenting style in a 7 line program, it's needless pedantry! This is almost exactly the same thing as grammar nazi-ism, and seems to have…
Obviously this depends on your phone. Using an html5 app on a 4s vs. a 3gs is a totally different experience, that probably explains the discrepancies between your experiences.
It's strange how often comments like these crop up on various topics, because they're difficult to understand. The core of your argument is "I don't have this problem, so therefore no-one does". I mean, you are aware at…
Great link, thanks.
