What most people don't realise is that Palm actually produced Graffiti as an alternative input method for the Newton before they released their own device. For the early devices (OMP, 120, 130) it was incredible compared to their terrible handwriting recognition. The later MessagePads (2000, 2100) were quite a lot better, though (and the eMate had a keyboard).
Yeah true. However from my understanding a country like Finland focuses on different things than Denmark. Look at their rankings on the international PISA tests for example. Finland scores are great, Denmark not as much (18th I believe). I remember reading at some point (though now I'm not finding it) that Denmark focuses a bit more on personal development relatively, while Finland (and most other places) on the knowledge (math/science).

Just taking stabs... it is an interesting question but I agree I'm not sure what the benefits are for being able to relate directly to an "offline" concept.

I suppose one benefit is if you really can say "We are like TV Guide for the Internet" then you can use that to help you make decisions (what did TV Guide do right and wrong).

While many of these apps are fun and increasingly powerful, I (sadly) don't think we've crossed the threshold where they are essential just yet.

I think there may well be a point in the future where replacing an entire studio / live rig with iOS may come to reality (and I'd love to see it) but this is still a long way off. The platform is imperfect and the apps out there reflect this - they're fun but even the best are still not feature complete or stable enough to be dependable in a professional context
That's exactly it - I've had the same thought. If there was a tablet version of my DAW that sync'd with my desktop machine (or cloud, whichever), I'd probably buy it pretty quickly.

Synopsis: How to make money selling iOS source code (sans various assets files) and related environment files to other iOS game developers.

Interesting idea. It would be interesting to hear whether this succeeds; if there's enough interest to make a go of this.

Without having looked at the source code (it could be clean code or it could be spaghetti), this kit looks to be a reasonable resource or companion for learning more about iOS game programming than is in some of the available books.

Another and different approach some folks are taking for creating games involves a package such as Unity; using a more generic game-creation engine, rather than home-grown or purchased code.

And if you're "simply" looking for examples of games and game programming, there are also a variety of free FPS packages, some of which work on Linux and OS X. Here's one list, and yes, there are other non-FPS games around, too:

The parent post is obviously referring to a slightly more mature / traditional model where this kind of upfront work is employed.

I work at a small consultancy that build ecommerce sites for some of the biggest brands in the world. We have strict processes like the parent is referring too.

This is how most web applications get done (outside of uber fast startup land or massive R&D places like Google).

Since we probably should not be sitting in front of a computer for hours at a time, "Gorilla Arm" is a feature, not a bug.

Such new kinds of interfaces might even create incentives to make UI's more efficient in other areas since people would naturally want to limit their time working on the computer.

What Are Your Plans for Your Death Bed?
Hey everyone,
I finally got a demo of my game out, and I was hoping, because this was the first place I posted about it, I could get some feedback for you guys.

Currently, the general consensus is this:
The jumping needs work
The movement needs more precision
There needs to be more optimization

I was wondering if you guys could give me some more feedback, I want this game to be as good as possible.
Wow, this is actually fairly awesome. Works better than the vim cheatsheet I have hanging next to my monitor.

That said, the site can be pretty confusing. What's the difference between practice and drill (other than slight interface difference?)
Very few of these are really unsuitable for production. High preference and conditional operation operators are probably the ones I would be most shocked to see.

The rest (especially goatse, venus and things like X-Wing) should be fairly intuitive from operator precedence.

Many non-native English speakers primarily get in contact with English in computer related contexts since they live in a non-English speaking country and use English language websites.

This group of customers may be larger than the group of native speakers depending on your target audience. So optimizing for non-native English speakers living in non-English speaking countries is something which should be considered.

Sorry this is nonsense. Starting a company is NOT a substitute for being employed. It is infinitely easier to get paid $100K working for someone else than it is to start a company, find clients, customers, and grow until you can comfortably pay yourself $30K.

Start a company because of a market opportunity you see and can reasonably conquer. Don't start a company because you're being whiny about your job.
There are humanist churches too that you can get involved with ... if you don't want to deal with the crazy dogma that is.

Any chance we could have one search that allows us to search the character limit?
So I hadn't thought much about it, but I had a TODO still in my JS file where I needed to update the "Next" pagination link to point to the next page (incremental). I fixed this, so we should be set. I also added a bunch of failsafes, but wouldn't doubt if there's an edge case. Once you start using infinite scroll, it messes with the paginator a bit so it's only useful beyond the current page you're on. I didn't want to write a full blown plugin, so it's a bit hacky :)
I guess I was a little unclear in my post. What I meant is that a lot of the diagnostic functionality available for PCs(memtest86 and Linux utils) can easily run on Intel Macs as well but given how relatively easy it would be, I don't see a native app that specifically advertises itself as a Mac hardware diagnostic tool unless I am missing something obvious.

So, it seems like there must be no demand for a native app, but I am just surprised that nobody has attempted it. I haven't spent a huge amount of looking but then again I was trying to find a mainstream app not something obscure.

Small Service Providers in the Digital Age
A white paper on the challenges and opportunity for the Small Service Providers within the digital age.

Small service providers1 offer critical services, which are valuable for their customers, and are a significant part of the global economy. However, unlike large enterprises, it is exceedingly difficult for small service providers to excel in all the key aspects of business including business development, marketing, administrative operations, and customer support. The Internet has the potential to resolve many of these challenges, but to date; has only succeeded in overwhelming these small businesses.
This white paper will describe the core challenges faced by small service providers, the current obstacles that stand between these businesses and their customers, and the structure of a potential solution for both the customer and the small service provider.

Amaya was a "standard browser" in the sense that it was intended to showcase web standards:

"Work on Amaya started at W3C in 1996 to showcase Web technologies in a fully-featured Web client. The main motivation for developing Amaya was to provide a framework that can integrate as many W3C technologies as possible. It is used to demonstrate these technologies in action while taking advantage of their combination in a single, consistent environment." - http://www.w3.org/Amaya/

I don't think it was ever intended to compete with Mosaic or Netscape or Nexus or whatever was popular at the time.

Amaya is a reference implementation.

Yes, that is what it seems like. Anybody who is familiar enough can find ways of testing with other x86 based tools, and everybody else just takes it to a Apple repair shop or replaces it.

It may be hard to see it now, but the school you went to will be much less important in a few years. An Ivy League education surely gives you a leg up right out of college, but after that, it is all about the quality of work you do.

I went to UGA and had a friend who was a Comp Sci graduate, and he was a rockstar before he ever graduated because he had a large body of open source work, beating out Ivy Leaguers for desirable jobs at big companies. If anything, going to UGA was an advantage for him because the course load wasn't as demanding as a tougher school, leaving him time to focus on actually building things.

Seriously, it doesn't matter as much as you think.

I keep wondering why good quality content producers don't come out that distribute content only on the web.

There are a few on youtube, but they don't produce enough content for avid or even normal customers.

Maybe we need a better platform than youtube? Something that is able to extract at least 0.10 $ per each customer that whatches the thing. This would bring roughly 100 k to movies/series that are watched by 1 M people. It looks pretty doable for a good quality movie or serie.

> State is a side effect. In fact, that's basically the definition of side effect -- I think you need to revisit the basic principles of formal semantics.

You're right, thanks for the correction. My line of thinking was that addressing the issue of side effects in programmatic functions was not the same thing as addressing state -- while not mutually exclusive, they're not the same thing.

> State is the entire point of programming. State shouldn't be eliminated, it should be corralled so effects are traceable and formalizable.

I won't go so far as state being the entire point, but it's simply another way to programmatically solve a problem. It absolutely should not be eliminated, but rather used responsibly -- just as with anything else in a programmatic environment.
New Early Stage Financing Options for Entrepreneurs
IPython Notebook on Windows Azure
Things that are awesome about this:

1) Great source for learning how to make a platformer on a popular ... well, platform.

2) Gets programmers into making games quick and easy with full control over source code. Great for tinkering.

3) Comes with functional game and assets, despite the fact that some of the art is clearly lifted from other popular games and could conflict with licensing and copyright of those games, especially since the content is being sold.

4) Comes with associated tool-chain. I've built my own home grown iOS game framework and animation tool set myself so I know the benefits of it and the learning exercise.

Things that are not awesome about this:

1) Why not open source it? If the goal is get people into iOS gaming, Github is a better option. If the goal is to make money, more complete and flexible game engines such as Unity provide a better experience.

2) Anyone who leverages this codebase is doomed to become a droplet in what will be a flood of generic iOS platformers using the same codebase and potentially a lot of the same assets (similar things occured with RPGMaker games). The games will have a similar feel and mechanic to them with make them inter-changable and thus disposable.

3) I question how much this actually benefits the code-consumer. If they aren't willing to do this the hard way by learning their own way, my guess is they aren't motivated enough to modify the source code to do anything the framework doesn't already provide. The purchaser is much more likely to look around the code base, and then try to replace the assets and leverage the level-designer to make their own game than actually go out of their way to do something unique. If that is the case this is a poor choice as other frameworks like Unity are way more flexible.

4) I'm not particularly impressed with the code sample or the abstractions provided. I've written over 20 games in my lifetime and can tell at a glance that this code is written to do 1 thing, and anything outside the initial feature set will result in brittle and unmaintainable code, or requiring a complete refactoring which nulls the purpose of the purchase in the first place.

5) The licensing and price of the download, while not bad for working source for a game for a popular platform, probably doesn't deliver on its value for the reasons stated above.

Overall I think its great that we share source code for popular games so we can learn from it. Id does this all the time by open sourcing their most popular game and engine code, like Doom, Quake, etc. The key here is the motivation is to help the industry create better games, and they give away everything for free.

I suggest open sourcing the code, and possibly selling the tool-chain and level editor. The author could push more $40 level editor units than they could delivering on the promise of a "starter kit" that will more than likely guarantee the consumer's game looks and behaves like every other game on the app store.

I commend the effort of the author, but considering the ability to deliver on its promise and the price point I would suggest any interested parties look elsewhere.
Jeff didn't weight in, he just edited one of the posts to apply formatting.

This clearly isn't a programming question, it's a UX or language question. Appropriately enough, a very similar question was previously posted on UX.StackExchange.com: http://ux.stackexchange.com/questions/1080/using-sign-in-vs-...

When the site was younger there were lots of questions that were only relevant to programmers, not actually about programming. In small numbers these weren't bad, but they became increasingly popular compared with actual programming questions. That was not a healthy trend -- communities needs to keep their focus -- and the stricter moderation that Stack Overflow has now was partially a response so that.

If somebody wants to contribute an answer, they should post it on the on-topic UX.SE question. Closing the Stack Overflow post shouldn't affect anyone. (Deleting is another matter, and I'll oppose deleting this question if it's suggested.)
