What I was trying to convey is that there are people with more than one name that are not their family names, but "middle name" as a concept does not exist in the same way it does in other cultures. It's not an expected compo

Brazilian here. Around these parts, middle names are not a thing. They don’t show up in forms, and also aren’t expected to exist. When the names before the family names are multiple, we call them “nomes compostos” (composed/combined na

The "mian" thing is not an error. It's there to make a point about how the brain interprets code, depending on your familiarity with the language and problem. She explains it not much later on.

I've purchased one two months ago, and it's great. Ubuntu worked out of the box (the only exception being the fingerprint reader), and it runs smoothly. The screen is sharp, and it's super light. I'm happy with mine.

I recall paying for it in iOS, and getting a "it's free for a year" message on Android before the Facebook transaction.

Tim Jenison was interviewed by Leo Laporte on Triangulation ( http://twit.tv/show/triangulation/118 ). They start talking about it between minutes 35 and 36, and he describes the process in a little more detail, inc

I had the opportunity to use it for a few weeks at work, when developing and Android app, and made the jump from the iPhone to a Nexus 4. Google Now is incredible. Last week I went to another city for a family funeral and the next day it

I guess it's due to the extra work they have to do to put the proper amount of color on the sensor, as the Red EPIC they used tends to mute them a little bit.

I love the energy itself that people are putting into making the web more of an app development platform. It's commendable how strongly and energetically they push to get there, building cool demos and frameworks that on a relative scale (i

It seems pretty straightforward on the surface, for sure. However, considering just how convoluted phonegap, weinre and friends can get, it's not hard to believe it turned into a mud ball.

What greatly inconvenienced me about MobileOrg was having to manually push and retrieve changes from the app, which led me to the occasional "but I'm sure I've captured this!" moment. Call me stupid, or even inconsistent for hoping somethin

I was 14 and faced the same questions you do. I was surrounded by all these guys who could bend bits with their thoughts and had pointers and stacks for breakfast. They all used see and did stuff that seemed amazing to me at the time. Add t

Isn't it because of privacy issues? Google probably tried to avoid any Buzz-like backlash of people creeped out by them knowing who's who in their lives. Integration efforts like that can only succeed if people feel it's ok, which will come

Exercises in style do not make books (Raymond Queneau nonwithstanding). If you just try out a load of languages, learning what's possible but not doing anything with it, what's the point? I don't think he is discouraging learning new stuff,

I've been on guilt trips because of the social aspect I'm missing (dojos, hackatons, weekly meetings in bars), but I've come to terms with it. I have a wife with whom I'd rather be, movies to watch and books to read. It's a tough balance, a

NativeClient is a cool technology, from a pure, geeky POV. Maybe awesome stuff will be done with it, to the point of steering other browsers in its direction, but right now it's a case of having a "Designed for Google Chrome" badge on you f

I'd argue that the reason I can keep using Linux is knowing there's good (or good enough) stuff out there for me to use, the only requirement being that I have a modern browser and an Internet connection. There's less and less reliance on s

Yes. Ubuntu is particularly good in that regard. I've tried to run Fedora for a month and, man, is that thing brittle or what?

Regressions abound. I've been bitten more than once by X server upgrades, driver changes and kernel fix-ups that made my otherwise linux-friendly laptop go hayware. For a year now I've had to run my system with KMS polling turned of -- othe

A paper detailing the technique was presented in SIGGRAPH a good year, year and a half, before Adobe added it to CS5.

How to name your startup: be a regular guest on a well-to-do podcast that, while not being able to trademark its own name, has established quite a reputation. Create a friendly relationship with the host, put forth bad impressions when it's

Sometimes I feel people writing this type of article decided to see the world through their window and ignore what goes around it. I get the ways the iPad can be detrimental to software development and the perception of what constitutes leg
