I find the recumbent bicycle is the steadiest way to do reading and cardio at the same time.

The submission title does not match the content. The majority of this post concerns the author's investigation of processes running on his Nexus 7. He claims to have empirical evidence of Chrome being slow, but does not supply it. Some

Just a idea that drifted into my head: The background being of a butterfly specimen display, realistic and in faint grey, and one of the butterflies in full colour with the label Perl 6. The other butterflies can even be labelled as other p

I was just looking into this today and I found GADDAG: ( http://ericsink.com/downloads/faster-scrabble-gordon.pdf ), which claims to be faster than DAWG.

Ever since updating to Lollipop, my Nexus 4 has had sudden restarts a few times a week. It's a very disappointing reduction in quality which makes me question whether to go Android for my next device. If Google can't support its o

You haven't said anything about the kid being interested in programming, so I'm not sure IntelliJ is going to be of any use. It's a very heavy tool, perhaps too much for anyone just starting to learn how to program.

Does anyone else find it difficult to highlight things on this page? Specifically, 'kvetchery' which is found in the third paragraph. I believe the author is the one responsible for the facelift of Racket's documentation. He

Um, people have already been able to use Scala to make Android applications. Just about anything that doesn't require dynamically generated JVM bytecode can manage, difficult and error-prone as it is. If we're talking about offici

I like it. Is the grade level calculated with Fleisch-Kincaid? $5 is a reasonable price (to me) for a minimal text editor with this feature, though I would prefer something meatier and more expensive along the likes of Scrivener.

There's not much going on here. Look on meetup.com for a few things that might interest you.

This is a major undertaking. IMO, you will most likely end up reaching the lower-hanging fruit of depression rather than suicide. Good luck.

I started using Kotlin on the weekend and I have been pretty happy with it. The only issues I have with it so far is that I would like to use a package name with more than two identifiers (eg. com.android.scripting, instead of just com.andr

How much of the 'batteries included' approach of Python will work well in the Android environment? It reminded me of this: http://www.tinypy.org/

Does this replace the homescreen like Apex Launcher and Nova Launcher? It doesn't seem to be that kind of launcher, from looking at the screenshots.

I enjoyed reading this. I mostly know Java and not so much Javascript, but there's something delightful in the idea the writer lays out. As much as I like Android, it isn't really 'hackable' by the average user, and Firefox OS seems capable

The 'o' in 'computer' at the start of the third line of that page seems a little taller than the other letters. Other than that, seems interesting. I'd prefer to see a sans-serif version, though.

The issue with backups is understated. Titanium Backup is a crutch where I expect a cloud solution from Google would have been obvious and easy to use.

I would like to know if it is possible in the future to write a 'native' app for this OS, and by that I mean one that is not encumbered by the speed limitations of Javascript.

Please do not Airpush. Users hate it and apps are almost guaranteed to get one-star reviews because of it.

I couldn't find anything related to anorexia or eating disorders in the story. It is frugal, perhaps, but not anorexic. What a misleading title.

It's bad for developers when a substantial proportion of handsets are running older versions, which slows down adoption of newer APIs.

This reminds me of a thread on Whirlpool started by one of the ShiftyJelly guys: http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/archive/1728780# It's a substantial change in opinion after six months.

I like the homepage and the idea, but I don't know how to install this. On Windows, all I get from the download link is a file called Breve5 that's 87.5kb.
