Wow. This just crystallised a bunch of thoughts bumping around in my head, on why this argument goes around and around all the time. Thank you! This was a great comment.
Buying for Amnesia. Don't want to play Psychonauts (didn't enjoy it the first time), and I own all the rest. And I own all the music, too. ... Wow.
This happened to me. T-Mobile Galaxy S, Samsung and T-Mo dropping the ball on updates, the GPS, etc., etc.. I have an iPhone 4S now, after trying out a Nokia N9, and I've never been happier.
Charlie Stross brought this idea up on his blog recently; what does a post work-for-pay world look like? What would you do if you had a home, food, and health care as a basic right? Could we even get there with our…
I'd use this. Does it work with node.js?
Well, Postgres can shine here if you can do a fair amount of processing inside of a stored procedure. The sproc takes care of lifting, the client can be (fairly) limited in the transformations it applies, and the…
As an owner of an N9, this makes me kind of sad. I wrote a longer comment on another thread, but what this really makes me feel is that, instead of utilising a great design paired with WP7, there's just another…
Please pass on my remarks to the design team - I'm very impressed with their work, and I do wish that they continue their excellent designs. I truly wish that Nokia had gone behind the N9 with everything it deserves. I…
MeeGo Harmattan isn't as polished as iOS - it's got a lot of first-generation performance issues, definitely requires some babysitting to keep it running well, but it's miles ahead of Android. It feels like the…
This is why I bought the N9. It's damn slick, in every one of these facets. Though, syncing is still a major pain point.
Given I'm writing a talk about Twisted and event loops for KiwiPycon, this is super useful. Thanks!
That is a surprisingly clever and evil hack.
I use an Android as the carrier I was on in Canada (Wind), like T-Mo, doesn't get the iPhone, and Android was the best smartphone available. That said, I'm not a big fan of the phone I got (a Samsung Galaxy S), and…
Yes, but I'm in the process of moving off google-hosted things, so I'll need to figure out a new topology for this...
Interestingly, I find having that low-level access to be more restrictive. Suddenly, a thing that I just want to work (in this case, the music player) requires that I think about how I'm going to put files onto it, what…
Interesting article - I really liked the updated example at the very end, demonstrating a new pattern (for me) for handling exceptions that get thrown by wrapping the DB inserts in their own function.
OOh, that does sound like fun. I've been toying with how to write a grammar generator on Node.js, lately - something in the vein of PyParsing.
I wrote a parser and lexer by hand. Building the mental abstractions to figure out how a syntax tree should be constructed and walked was amazing. It gave me the tools to visualize how code is structured, how to avoid…
Spyware what? I like it for the single point where all my games are, so I don't have to remember where I downloaded to, or where the keys are in my inbox, or even where I put install media. I just download the client,…
Hopefully there'll be a steam key. Braid, Machinarium and Osmos I already have, but the bundle is worth it for Revenge of the Titans, that looks like so much fun
I bought an Aspire 1410 recently; it's more of an ultraportable than a netbook, though. I have to say I love it. Just the right size, capable, and decent Ubuntu support.
