Oddly enough, both Wii and Kinect were very successful outside their official gaming applications, because people were able to hack their protocols and use them in ways the manufacturers never intended. I remember…
Well the first step is to design some architectures for large systems. Poof, you're an architect.
I've been rejected from jobs because I was over-qualified. Then I got accepted to one, which turned out later that I was over-qualified for that one too. I did get bored, I felt like the job wasn't a good match for my…
> camera with Bluetooth Enjoy your Blueborne security vulnerabilities. Because I'm sure you'll easily get a firmware update from Nikon from your 5 year old camera. Also, since Apple breaks Bluetooth in pretty much every…
Found the UX designer in this sea of clueless engineers
It's weird that their justification is that other languages can fit more words in than you can in English. But then they increase the character count. Wouldn't it make more sense to switch to a word limit, instead of a…
Ditto. It's imperative to be able to charge while you're playing, since music apps along with the screen being on all the time really eats the battery quickly.
Have you ever even used a music app on an iPhone? They do not suffer from performance issues, even with several running at the same time. And Objective-C is not even garbage collected; it's reference counted, so I have…
So those stupid share icons on the side of news sites are going to be completely inaccessible?
Except for musicians, who need a latency-free audio path that won't degrade depending on distance or saturation of the wireless spectrum. Given the amount of music apps in Apple's ecosystem, I'm pretty surprised they…
Does the eclipse make the sun stronger or something? I've pointed my camera at the sun for all day long taking timelapses and nothing bad happened to it. I guess maybe you need a really hardcore zoom lens to get damage…
Drawing is learned like any other skill. Just practice it for a while and you will become better at it
Those studies have tiny sample sizes, and aren't even in the tech industry.
I would count rows upon rows of homeless people in tents on the sidewalk next to where self-driving cars zoom by as pretty dystopian.
40% of how many employees total? And which ones? Only the ones on certain discussion boards? That's a pretty biased sample.
Flash has very little to offer as a tool, but as a platform with thousands of hours of beautiful, creative content made for it (Homestar Runner, games, interactive art, etc), it will be tragic to lose all that art and…
To be fair, traditional "dumb" contracts written by lawyers also have exploits and loopholes. That's why we have courts with judges and juries that can make subjective decisions based on context outside of the contract.…
Re playing Chrono Trigger this weekend. The "fast-forward" button and instant saves real make it a fun experience for the story without the chores of the grinding.
We'll start to come around once our economy tanks because all the smart people are getting banned from entering...
No, poor people would just see ads because they can't pay to remove them. Although I guess that's not a great target market...
Apps still need to add the INTERNET permission to work. It's just now it's one of those that are automatically granted without action from the user. I suppose there could be some hack to disable it for certain apps…
You're calculating what it would cost to store a string representation of a date. Which is silly. You should always convert to a timestamp for storage. You can cram way more info into a single integer than you can with…
Ah, much better way of phrasing it. Thanks
> It borrows core ideas from the ubiquitous UUID standard, adding time-based ordering. Isn't time-based ordering bad, since it might allow hackers to predict UUID generation and use it to compromise security systems…
"No actual incidents" Have you been living under a rock? There are more than enough examples. Here's just a few examples documenting the sexism in science: http://www.nature.com/news/gender-imbalance-in-science-journ...…
