Steve Lehto has been covering some of the AI filings that have gone bad on his Youtube channel. They seem to be getting more frequent https://www.youtube.com/@stevelehto/videos

From hearing the details it seems that there is no real limitation to what you can execute as long as it runs on the instance. I get the feeling that if you zipped up all of the parts of python or ruby you need to ru you could execute a scr

From the #code2012 poll on twitter C# is 8th where it was last year: http://www.ioncannon.net/projects/code2012/ Not that it is any better a stat than Google searches but the number one language from the poll was Javascript and I tend to

It is also worth pointing out that you can fly to DC and NYC in under 2 hours from Louisville. You can fly to Chicago and get there before you took off thanks to the time change. So you have access to pretty much any of the "best" of those

#2 is possible but #3 isn't unless you have a completely open bucket and that wouldn't be good.

I will second this. At the bottom of this article there is a reference the article I wrote a while ago when Amazon released this feature. I was planing on doing multipart uploading at that time using the FileReader but there was a bug in th

Can you share the empirical evidence that it works? There is a lot of talk about these programs but not many resources on the outcomes that I know of.

Maybe it depends on where you order from but I ordered one from element 14 a couple weeks ago and had it in 4 days.

This is great but sadly you can't resize images in the same version of mobile safari so it limits the usefulness for image uploads. There is a bug that makes large images incorrectly render to a canvas. It seems odd that this wasn't a use c

There are probably any number of reasons, valid or not. The easiest to cite is "Who do I call if we have a problem with OpenJDK?" Outside of OpenJDK there are other issues that make this a hard push for Enterprise customers. I haven't seen

by carson 14y ago
Sadly I think the OpenJDK will scare off most "Enterprise" developers. I see this as a good option for testing/development but I have never seen an Enterprise use OpenJDK in production. Most are using Oracle's JDK or some other special purp

Apple really needs to stop putting this type of stuff under NDA. I've had something like this since 3 weeks after WWDC but I was sitting on it waiting for the NDA to lift. So many people are ignoring the NDA that at this point it seems th

I just picked a line out of the area to point to. I'll pose a few questions that go into more about why I believe this is code that isn't straightforward and in general a bad reference point for a beginner: * Can you tell me why that entire

As much as I love seeing example apps like this I think beginners probably need to be cautious looking at this code. Here are a couple things that concern me: * The UI is all hand coded. Not to start a religious war but interface builder ma

I think the idea that Apple can't require MAS is wrong. Maybe they can't for everyone but I would bet they can for a lot of people and probably plan to. At some point developers will be buying the developer version of the OS that gets the

It should stop that type of piracy for IAP for the most part. From what I have seen those hacks just fake receipts that will not pass this type of validation. What could happen at some point is jailbreak hacks using real receipts that do

Apple has a way of validating receipts for in app purchases, see: http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/Networ... If you are using IAP in your app and want to keep this hack from working you should be validating receipts.

From the site in question: "American FactFinder works with Mozilla Firefox 3.6 and Microsoft Internet Explorer 7. Other browsers may not perform as expected. " I wonder what it would cost to get support for Chrome.

The videos for sessions 205 and 219 would probably be the first two I would recommend if you are an iOS developer. The videos for sessions 600 and 601 would be good if you are developing web apps.

You are just counting EC2 cost. The AWS cost for 410TB of S3 storage is around $39k. You would need to add in BW cost on top of that. It is also interesting that they seem to be using Akamai for a CDN instead of Cloudfront so not a complete

It will be interesting to see details on this. I expect that it will be disappointing and you will be forced to have the cable channels to get the online content. This is already something that is making its way into other XBox content like
