A year ago I developed an android client for freebase, but unfortunately I never had the chance to finish or publish it. I guess now it's too late :D If anybody is interested the apk is here http://goo.gl/6BxAZJ

I didn't say that, I said that both went for what was the optimal choice at the time. Why Apple didn't go for Swift from the start? Because Objective-C was used in NeXT and then OSX and so on.. when the time was right ans Swift wa

You're comparing apples and oranges, Apple had the privilege of choosing its own hardware and programming language. For android they went for java because of popularity, and everyone can use it on their own hardware. So you have a java

I agree in general with all your point, apart from 4 and 5. Malware in linux repositories is "practically" impossible. Software is most of the times peer reviewed and patched in different ways by different distros. And if a partic

I'll give it a try: privilege separation and permission since the beginning only super user was allowed to install new software (simplifying) different distros and different versions created diversity making it difficult for an attack

1) Linux and other unixes were created with the idea of privilege separation and permission baked in. Windows had to add it later, while keeping compatibility 2) Linux has a variety of kernels and libraries versions across its base, making

no-ip primary use case is certainly not botnets. It's used by dsl users to connect to their home network, or to get an easy to remember address for a vps, or maybe while developing something before getting a proper domain.

Sometime we spend time on a project for the good of the community, and it's ok, because sometimes I give back time, sometimes someone else does and so on. It's also ok to try to get some money out of your time, if it's desire

True, but be polite about it: "Sorry, I'm disappointed because my expectations differ from yours. I'll found an alternative. Good luck with your project"

Maybe a solution could be weighting the vote according to the user history: a user leaving a single vote on a single movie shouldn't be as influential as an user that voted on a wider range of movies over time

The height is calculated automatically for the rows that are visible and you can fix it to a certain amount. So, as screigh said, you won't have the wormy effect on contact list, artists, songs, etc. because each row is always x pixels

by BitMastro 13y ago
I see your point, but this layout is used also for variable height images, variable lenght text, compound layouts, etc. The equivalent of pagination on Android is usually done using pull to refresh (horizontal swipe gestures are usually use

by BitMastro 13y ago
On the other end, pagination is rarely used on Android, and calculating the height of a single row can be more expensive since it has to layout the children hierarchy for a row according to the screen dimensions.

by BitMastro 13y ago
For the OS. Imagine 999 rows containing one line of text and the last one containing a long text spanning maybe 30 lines. To calculate the scroll accurately you need to calculate the height of 1000 elements to get the full height. Instead i

I think applying a newton-raphson approach instead of just choosing a fixed pivot could result in fewer comparisons. On the other hand, a comparison is a dirty cheap operation, even using bit masks and shifts I doubt it will have a big perf

This app[1] for android is being updated to add support for chromecast, and from what I remember by checking the SDK it is quite simple to do as well, something like preparing an HTML5 video page and sending the link to play. [1] https:&#x

I didn't downvote you, but these are the facts: 1)The "Play Store" is, like the name says, a store, just like every single store is a distribution channel. 2)While I understand that for some it may look unfair, a contract is

by BitMastro 13y ago
You're being downvoted, but you're right, when you publish an app on the store you legally sign a contract, and the contract specifies what you can and cannot do. Don't like the rules? Don't publish on the play store and

Slightly unrelated, but how does a restraining order behaves when dealing with a broadcast? For example, if the attacker buys an ad on a newspaper or tv and says something without addressing the victim specifically, is it against the law?
