This looks great! I like the documentation itself even more, is that generated with pollen as well?

Edit: I answered my own question, the documentation is generated using Scribble: http://docs.racket-lang.org/scribble/
That's totally untrue :)

If a game sells poorly , there's more pressure to discount it heavily and quickly. But, if you like a game, you should try to buy it at full price as that incentivizes them to make more games "like" it.
That's a clever approach to widget-izing apps, but I suspect that using the pinch gesture on such a small touch target could be problematic.

In the iOS Human Interface Guidelines, Apple suggests that your touch targets have a minimum size of 44x44 points. (https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/userex...)

If you look at the icon size list at https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/userex..., you'll see that iPhone 5 icons are only 60x60 points (divide the pixel sizes by two to get the point size). I imagine that 60x60 is simply too small for a two finger gesture to work well.

Maybe this would work better with a one finger touch and drag gesture where the drag direction dictates how the icon will grow into a widget (but with icons on the top and bottom rows only able to grow in one direction). It would need to be a quick gesture, though, since tap and hold triggers that app reorganization mode of Springboard.
When reworded, I don't know that I'd call your points "gains":

We might differ in opinion on the role of government, though. Personally, I don't think either task is the job we want our government to be in.
The first one I read was already interesting. He talks about being at peace and says a few nice things to his family and friends. The striking thing is that he never mentions the murders he committed. He killed a 51 year old woman, a 24 year old woman (daughter) and a 3 year old child (grandchild). All were stabbed to death. I believe the 24 year old woman was his girlfriend at the time. Saying your sorry, not sorry, or that you were innocent, I'd expect that. But not saying anything at all it really odd. http://murderpedia.org/male.V/v/villegas-jose-luis.htm
I agree, that's a great book to start with. When I started out programming the Linux kernel, I thought I had to understand everything and I hated the book for not going into detail on how things worked. But really, I just had to start changing code and running it, and I became a Linux kernel programmer. Now I see that I just needed to know the basic roadmap, and the rest comes from reading code and experimentation. It doesn't matter much if the book is a little outdated; the core concepts stay in place for a while. Another book I'd recommend starting with is The Linux Programming Interface. You can write programs for a while without getting to the kernel/userspace boundary, but this is essential to understand if you're going to write user-facing code (e.g., a driver).

It's just like the article said--just a big, annoying to debug C program. If you understand pointers, you can learn how to program the Linux kernel. Programming in the Linux kernel has been a really fun learning experience for me. It's nice, if intimidating, how you can just do everything--there are no hard abstraction boundaries, you can read all the source and call into any part of the kernel without going through hoops.

I've developed the Linux kernel with two machines, a development machine and a headless machine that I'm ssh'ing into (actually, a bunch of those--makes testing go faster). VMs aren't really an option for device drivers, but if you run your code on your development machine, you waste a lot of time.

What happened to merit is that "make friends in the industry and convince them you have the skills" is a more reliable means of finding merit than a typical interview process. It also has tremendous blind spots and will exclude many legitimate candidates in an unequal way and that all sucks, but the goal is "find someone reliably competent you can work with." It's really hard to determine either of those without long term interaction.

Who decides what is inadequate or irrelevant?

Search engines just index the web. If you have an issue with some stuff on the web, then go after the person hosting it, not the person telling you where it is.

This is akin to shooting the messenger.
While it may be shiny and hip to provide the latest and greatest news with very fast publishing cycles, I am not sure if this is for everyone.

Thoughtful articles require time to write and edit, reviewers will spend time on them. Re-running a static site generator to publish them is a fraction of the total time it requires to write a good article.

If, on the other hand, you are not in for quality, then yes, time to publish may be important for you.
I know I shouldn't due to work BUT WOW this guy was clearly should have been a death penalty case! You need a murder with a felony being committed. His felony robbery of a day planner ("found" during the trail) and a missing wallet. Medical Examiner clearly showed the man was innocent. The victim defended herself and was violently beaten and wounded. Defendant had zero wounds and no evidence of crime in his home or his car. Sick sick world.

Don't forget the NEO GEO AES. I wanted the Gold System, MSRP $649.99 and each game was usually around $200 or more.

I have some N64 games that still have the price tag on them from Toys R Us, Sears, or Target. One or two say $89.99 on them. I distinctly remember Street Fighter II: The World Warrior being $75 at Target when it was first released. I had to beg mom like I never begged before to get it.

I'd still pay these prices too, if, and only if, we didn't have the digital DRM, online requirements, bugs, patches, etc. that plague today's games. I realize though that today's games are far more complex probably and that's part of the problem.

That isn't true by default. Django will cache queries the first time they're executed for a particular request, but not in general for all requests. You can opt-in to caching pages thereafter in something like memcached, but that would be extremely questionable default behavior and a great way to cause consistency bugs.

you can build a software service that allows one to maintain a static site in a git repo, which is then published to a host somewhere. the service can go as far as having you input the location of your git repo anywhere in the world, and the location of your hosting, whether it be an S3 bucket, rsync or FTP host, and it can then provide ordinary blog edit / workflow tools which use the git repo as persistence and the hosting location as output. The service would support any number of popular static platforms, or one of its own.

When you do this, you work with the platform as long as you want. Then you can walk away from it - all your content is in your git repo and up on your web host as though the middle layer never existed. Another service can pick up on the same task, which you then point to the same endpoints to continue. If you know how to use git and your host directly, great. If you don't, who cares, these services take care of it for you as a transparent endpoint.

In fact you could even charge money for this kind of thing. Or even make it more open ended than just blogs and web pages, but that's where my thinking got jumbled on this idea and I only got as far as buying a domain for it.

Obviously sites like medium and everyone else would never do this, because it means you can leave their platform immediately. People who are capable of executing this idea pretty much don't need it, and it's otherwise hard to monetize. The desire to lock people into things is really what ruins everything.
They should be called static blog generators because that's what they all do. You can try to finagle generic sites out of them, but all the ones I have looked at all focus on blogging. I don't want a blog generator and find this immensely irritating.

However I just found this site: http://staticsitegenerators.net/ , which is an impressiv elisting, so possibly I'll find something that fits my needs or gives me a starting point.

(a) I don't think this trick helps you much if you're in a C corp; this is usually done in S corps.

(b) You are required to pay yourself a "reasonable" salary, and the IRS gets to determine what "reasonable" means for your profession.

(c) You probably aren't going to save that much money.

(d) As I understand it, the ratio of dividend income to salary income is a potential audit flag.

Talk to your accountant. (If you're a sole proprietor or have complete control over your compensation, it may have been a mistake to set up a C-corp to begin with).

As for how you pay yourself a dividend: you simply write yourself a check, the same way you'd cut a distro in an LLC.

This asks Google to be the deciders of what information should be free. It's an incredibly bad decision by EU lawmakers, and one that no one - not even Google - wants.

If Google removes public information, it's a loss for everyone. If they don't, they're immediately open to a legal battle.

This is just a horribly rash, poorly thought out law that has little to do with actual privacy, and more to pushing the problem on to Google and their ilk.
Most important is to keep looking, and not let the search get you down (which is hard, for sure). Remember that looking for work is a full-time job.

My current position I found through a connection, and that doubtless helped, but I've gotten jobs before through responding to university postings and craigslist ads. I've also been turned down at plenty of places that I've found both ways - for any given position, most of the time you won't get it (of course, since there are going to be multiple candidates).
I went straight from HS to college with the help of my parents. But I also worked half the year full-time and went to school the other half full-time. I highly recommend this path. Learn basic programming skills first, then enroll in a CS program, then market yourself to employers and apply to any intern/co-op positions. I could have never divided my attention between work and school simultaneously, so I think alternating work and school is ideal.

Also, learning programming before enrolling in a CS program is from my experience the best path to not failing out. Professors do not really teach programming. They give assignments and do their best at lectures which doesn't really help your brain think programmatically.

The question was not whether or not they might do it but whether or not they always did it. If a user is required to submit their encryption key to a third party for storage then the encryption solution is limited by their trust in the third party.
Amazon tends to (ab)use their monopoly power through things like shipping costs.

As an emporium of everything, Amazon already has a distinct advantage. Even if prices are higher on Amazon than other e-commerce sites, it makes sense for me to use Amazon because I can get 2, 3, 4 products shipped at once. That can be a big saving.

Additionally, Amazon subsidised widespread free shipping on low-ticket items for many years, in the UK they have only recently gotten rid of it[1].

That free shipping policy, while great for consumers in the short term, did starve out a lot of their competition.

And of course, the larger Amazon gets, the better shipping rates they can negotiate. My orders are now delivered to me by a "Amazon Logistics". It seems they've finally achieved full vertical integration.

If you have your most important widget(s) on your homescreen along with your most useful apps, you're probably doing 1-3 anyway most times you use your phone.

For me, it's very similar to the badges on iOS (which is something I miss when I use my Android work phone). I'm often not actively looking for the info, but it's a nice little prompt about it being there.

As for your alternatives

- Google Now is (at least for me) only useful when it's displayed as a widget

- the lock screen is fine for some things but less good for sensitive stuff - and with the fingerprint scanner on the 5S I rarely see my iPhone's lock screen these days

-persistent notifications on the notification bar quickly get cluttered and tell you nothing more than there is a notification of some description for that app

- the recent app menu still involves you going to a separate screen

Clearly they work for you, but also clearly they don't work as well for many others.
Do you also tell people who describe themselves as "Python/Django hacker" to drop the "made-up title" and label themselves as "developer"?

Seriously, what does it matter to you how the guy labels himself?
Are there any downsides to not following the publication requirements? From my research the only limitation (which wasn't even conclusive) was the ability to sue may be hampered until such a time that you comply with the publication requirement.

Java is actually cross-platform. OpenGL is just an API.

OpenGL extensions are typically optional parts of the spec, available on a per-implementation basis, and are not pluggable: you're at the mercy of the vendors, assuming your target audience even has up-to-date drivers at all.

Compare the following:

Java class works on JVM on Windows, Linux, OS X...

vs

OpenGL implementation for Intel HDs on Windows
OpenGL for Radeons on Windows
OpenGL for Geforces on Windows
OpenGL for Intel HD on OS X
OpenGL for Radeon on OS X
OpenGL for Geforce on OS X

Now add Linux and various API-levels of Android to the mix and cry if any single one of these permutations is missing the extension you want.
I could probably build a 3D printer from scratch, controller, actuators, and all, and I still ask myself the "What is this thing good for?" question.

Okay, sarcasm aside, it looks like these things are finally starting to slowly crack the door open on the realm of real-world usability. This realization dawned on me when I figured that some parts of the quadcopter I've been toiling over in recent days, might as well be 3D printed: the battery holder, maybe the motor mounts, etc. Gimbal parts would be pretty easy too.

And it dawned on me again yesterday, during SpaceX's dog and pony show for the Dragon 2, when they showed the 3D printed rocket engines.
Templating was actually the one thing that made me give up the last time I tried to get started with Go...
Which many systems still do not support. You don't even need to get mad at drivers, there is plenty of graphics hardware (the latest being the Intel Sandy Bridge GPUs from three years ago) that only supported up to 3.3. And even if you say "well, if you don't have a tessellation capable GPU, get a new one" there is still the problem of the Linux drivers being at 3.3 right now, and older versions of OSX only supporting 2.1.

Hell, the pre-Sandy Bridge Intel hardware only supports 2.1. It is only in the last 5 years that both mainstream GPU manufacturers supported 4 at all too, I have a GTX 285 that can't do tessellation either.

Last statements are endlessly fascinating things. I hope that by the time I die that tombstones will have flash storage built into them. You'll push a button on the tombstone and out pops a holograph that projects whatever message the person would like to share. I'd spend days in the cemetery.
Even if it is technically quite feasible, I would be seriously surprised if Nvidia and Intel implement Mantle if only for political reasons. However, they definitely will implement DX12 --which as far as I can tell is pretty much the same thing as Mantle except explicitly multi-vendor. If Mantle was a tap on OGL's door, DX12 is a full-on wake-up call.

Back when I worked in Windows/console games, my market demanded D3D (+ sony/nintendo's wacky custom APIs). Now I work in mobile and my customers demand GLES. GL advocates used to cry "GL has the better tech! D3D only wins because of politics! Boo!" It will be quite a turn if they switch tunes to "D3D has better tech, but GL still wins because of politics! Yay!"

>They may have gotten cheaper if you count it like that, but standard SNES games were not riddled with bugs on release day.

HA!
With very, very few exceptions, I don't buy games until the price drops. Usually I don't consider them until they drop below $40.

$60 is too much for a game.
Elite is a game that is of (sadly) extinct genre geared towards people that when they played that games are now in their earning prime.

Same with the people that threw money at obsidian, Brian Fargo and Tim Schaffer.

It is paying premium price for a product due to supply demand.

//I miss Freelancer so so much.
People talk down about AAA games, but Skyrim despite being an ok game at release is far better value for money than any Indy game simply from all the free content. Modern graphics engines and real world building take capital and lots of it.
Yes, that's really the problem with the "$60 games". I often find $10 indie games more enjoyable and more fun to play than those $60 games. The $60 games are keeping costs too high for assets, realistic graphics and other expensive stuff that eat up a lot of a game development's cost, and then there's not as much focus put on the gameplay.

Mantle is not an open spec at all. Certainly AMD has showed to Intel and Nvidia, but I see no reason for them to consider it unless we get standards publications of it.

And even then, this attitude AMD has had for the last two years since announcing it certainly dooms it to a death of irrelevance. If they were serious about it being an open API, they would have opened up proposals for modifications and considerations from other vendors before having it deployed in games.

They could still do a heel face turn of course, but I would never expect it. OpenGL5 is more likely the answer, but that requires Khronos to accept that even the Core Profile shift in 3.2 was not enough, they need to rewrite the entire shader language and standardize a modern pipeline without all this redundant backwards oldschool bullcrap that makes the implementations so slow due to state nonsense.
I tend to agree with you. Earth has always been in a constant state of change.

We seem to have this perception that Earth's current state is optimal and that any change is bad. Certainly change could bring adverse effects but the premise that we're "ruining the planet" is too easily accepted. If we were living during the last ice age and having this discussion, our descendants in the common era would be having a laugh.
Do you include in your estimate those who may currently be JS developers not by choice but due to the vogue of web apps?
That doesn't seem so bad to my eye, though. In Haskell terms it just means that any overloaded operators on Optional have to respect parametricity. If you need something more specifically typed then you can just use a new name.

VirtualBox uses a kernel module, and that is annoying because the linux kernel API changes with every update, which means its kernel module needs to be recompiled. Since I update my Linux quite often, that basically means:

Everytime some friends call me to play a certain game online with each other, they need to be waiting a bit longer for me because I have yet again to recompile VirtualBox's kernel modules.

Is there a way to convert something that requires kernel modules, to run fully in userspace?

I'd be happy to lose some efficiency for this. Just a 100% reliable game to run my game would be perfect.

Are there things you can do only in kernel modules and not in userspace, and does VB need this? In theory userspace can do everything you need, right? Graphics, networking, audio, ...
