For companies that do on-campus recruiting it is the busiest hiring time of year. But for experienced devs it might be a weird time to look.

If by burning the trees you are also permanently changing the use of that land from forest to agricultural then you are changing how much carbon is held by that area. This leaves aside the problems with burning peat. This does change both

I agree. Ten to fifteen years ago I saw stream of UML horror stories. The tools were expensive, complex, and you never needed or wanted 90% of what they could do. But PM's loved to show a stack of paperwork to the client. Now someth

I remember in the late 90's I'd download the full set of javadocs to have them locally on my computer so I didn't have to wait to browse them over the network. In fact I had burned them to a cd-rom so I could pass them out ea

Having played a lot of 2048 and Threes, I have to say that while 2048 is fun, it is a shadow of the game that Threes is. There is a polish and outright joy to Threes that the clones lack. While the games are superficially similar Threes has

If you're going to publicly shame people for making inappropriate puns you'd be well served to keep your own semi-public behavior impeccable.

First a disclaimer: I think this is outrageous and hope that her account is restored. Now my questions: Does her account use her home address? That seems unlikely as she is in Norway but is dealing with Amazon US. What are the rules for p

Nonsense. I took a camera phone photo at a McD's in Hong Kong earlier this year and several employees freaked out and they all came over to ask me to delete it. Are ALL the stores with no-photo policies mafia fronts?

This is exactly why I kicked in $80, tweeted this thing, and linked to it on Reddit. I think it is hitting $200k for sure, the question is whether it can plow through to $300k.

Invest? Hardly. If it is an investment then I'm a VC and should have a stake in the resulting company. Frankly, I think that Kickstarter should head towards this model and fund companies and give equity rather than being an oversized tip

I attended the talk. It was pretty cool, especially the OpenCV part. Frankly I think he needs to upgrade the armaments. Hook that bad boy up to the hose with a nozzle. Frankly, if you wanted to, you could hook such a system up to an auto

Here's the thing. His rich dad is fictional. He doesn't make money the way he tells you to. He's not a real estate mogul. He make money selling books and seminars. If the advice he gives were so great he'd be Donald Trump ten times ove

I've been using the Strong Lifts 5x5 app for a few weeks and have felt that the need to fiddle with it after each set is a drawback. This looks like it solves that problem and adds charting. Very cool. I'll check it out.

That is interesting to me. I've developed an iOS game that uses precises touch/swipe gestures to control movement. In iOS 3.2 Apple changed the infrastructure for touch events such that there is a huge (100ms) lag for a swipe event. This

Do you have an iOS SDK? What are the licensing terms? I'd love to integrate this into some of my math games.

Oh wow. This would make my iPad math game so much better. I already have handwriting, just no handwriting recognition... http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/math-battle/id476344792?mt=8

I've stared at this thing for 30 minutes trying to extract text from it. There is probably some trick meant to be clever that will strike people as obnoxious once they hear it.

I get about $100 (sometimes more, often less) from my iPhone/iPad game, Battle for Vesta: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/3d-space-combat-battle-for/id... More would be nice, but I have done a terrible job at marketing it.

Would anyone be shocked if the iPad eventually featured some version of Time Machine and that versioning just happened automagically in the background?
