Spare the rod, spoil the child I'm from El Salvador and beatings are a regular thing for us. It's normal for us to start working at 12. Now that's the extreme, but this whole don't hit your kids movement is an epidemic.
Interesting, thanks so much for the response. I'll keep this in mind as I continue to develop my app. It's still between custom byte stream, json, thrift, etc. But MsgPack looks interesting as well and, if anything,…
You don't scale a language, you scale an architecture.
Not yet, right now I have no need to learn yet another scripting language. I've been spending most of my language learning efforts on Erlang lately.
I don't know, I'm pretty bothered by this. I checked Google Play the day I purchased it and it was only available w/ a contract. That's why when I saw it at Fry's I bought it because it was unlocked. Should have waited…
Indeed, it looks like they're even using requestAnimationFrame. It's still really slow on Firefox, which I've found to be one of the worst offenders when making canvas games. The problem here might be fixed by splitting…
Out of all the languages I've used (C/C++/Perl/Javascript/Erlang/Objective-C/Ruby) I like Perl the best and javascript+ruby the least.
Freaking amazing, I've been utilizing MVC heavily to develop HTML5 games. Mainly borrowing ideas from Android and iPhone development with their layout engines and staying out of the way as much as possible.
I don't think it's coming full circle. They're just properly separating the project code, so that the time critical code is in C/C++ while the scale/fault-tolerant code will be in Erlang.
Nope sorry, I've only read pieces of his Art of CS book, but I'm also interested in reading 3:16 which I plan on ordering soon. It's supposed just pick out the verse number 3:16 from every book and join it with any…
Mr. Knuth is a personal hero of mine both as a programmer and as a Christian. He's pretty awesome.
Same as @wallflower. Our team is really small (2) so we never really run into that. I wouldn't want two devs working on the UI at the same time. It's kind of an unspoken rule because just merging anything UI related is…
It's so much easier when you already know how to program anything. I was a Perl dev and dabbled in Java. I was forced at my job to learn iOS and produce a specific app in less than 3 weeks. Wasn't pretty, but working…
For normal interfaces XIBs are way easier to maintain and handle then a bunch of addSubView calls. The only things that should be hard coded are interfaces that are too unique or exotic. Even then, XIBs allow you to…
Honestly, that looks more like examples in a MAN page rather than explanations of an algorithm.
I've noticed in my industry that those who can't program, manage. Those who manage, tend to blog more because they have less to do in front of a computer. Kind of a useless and filled with false assumptions.
Heh, I feel bad for any products you spearhead. Your definition of good quality is poor. I am a professional Android developer. Something like this wouldn't take more than a day. It's a piece of cake. What I suspect…
Too short! I was hoping for more tricks and tips. I started learning Android programming by making a game. (http://developingthedream.blogspot.com/) It's tricky to get things like multiple activities, dialog activities,…
Most outsourced developers are pure rubbish. I cringe when I have to open a project that was outsourced. At the small level it's fine, but when building larger apps there are just too many barriers to make it efficient.…
Well, I've been working as a full time dev for 3 years now and never went to college. What I did was start low as a jr. system admin for linux systems. I'm not very social so I never made 'connections' so I hade to…
I use Chase, and they tried to get me with this once. I had to call and yell at them and basically asked them how it's possible that they know I don't have funds and still let the transaction go through. I told them…
Pretty neat, I'm most interested in Daniel. Prior to the dead sea scrolls people would speculate the prophecies in Daniel were written after the fact. The carbon dating in the dead sea scrolls seemed to prove otherwise.
I thought Mark was written around 40 years after Jesus.
Well, since the concept of sin is well defined in the bible it is silly to equate it to what some silly people say it is. >Scripture does not define typical Christian behavior; let's not conflate the two. Exactly,…
I'm sorry, but you say that you're versed in scripture? Well, clearly you're not. You would know that we are ALL sinners and that Jesus Christ died for our sins. You are not versed in scripture, nor do you have…
