The number of choices tends to drop off to one or two (at most) outside of metro areas. I live in a semi-rural area and TWC is the only broadband option. DSL is available but only at speeds barely surpassing dialup. LTE coverage is patch

I've used Snorkel[1] for a few C/C++ projects in the past, you may want to check it out; it sounds like it could be what you're looking for (or quite close). Link it with your code, pass it a few config parameters and let it

Cool idea! From a privacy perspective -- what info can you glean from someone's library file? (other than the obvious artist/track information)

That verifies the domain, but not the actual mailbox. One possibility would be to lookup the MX, then connect to the remote MTA and ask it directly if the mailbox is valid. But that seems a bit like over-engineering.

John, while I think that a lot of value will be derived from this (the environment is very cool!), your blog included the following: "When I look back at how I became interested in programming, or ask other programmers about how they starte

Unfortunately, some of my smaller clients have shared hosting packages which means FTP is still the only game in town.

I also much prefer ST2's regex grammar for find/replace.. not only do you have to enable regex find/replace in VS, it uses a clunky grammar.

I use both IDEs and ST2. As with most things it comes down to personal preference, but perhaps mine may shed a little light. I use Eclipse for Java, VC++10 for C++, and ST2 for everything else. "Everything else" is a hodgepodge of things;

This is a great idea! One of the bigger stumbling blocks for me, as a hopeful one-man-studio, is that I am crap at making music. This could be the answer to that. Best of luck to you!

If you simply regard this as the prototype for a typical day, and not a script that's intended to handle all possible atypical scenarios, then there is no problem for it. As to 4am - 6pm, it's not like he's working solid in that timeframe.

All the games mentioned previously are RTS games, which doesn't include Myth (which is a great game on its own, though).

Manga/anime are essentially just cultural designations; they are referring to comics and animated cartoons (respectively) endemic to Japan. Note that "cartoon" here can refer to a long-form animated movie, as well. There are some things t

It appears that the animations are flavoring, not complete substance. From the trailer video it appears that only key panels are animated, which makes more sense to me in terms of adding value. Far from a gimmick, it adds to the kinematic

It's grown up into a relatively good framework. I've used it for a few one-off projects at work (nothing at high scale); CRUD is a well-solved problem, so it's not surprising that CI handles forms/validation in a relatively sane way. One t

There's also the Tiny Towers/Dream Heights debacle where Zynga essentially ripped off the entire game.

I didn't downvote, but I do think it's a bit pedantic. From my dogeared, beaten copy of K&R: "By definition, the value of a variable or expression of type array is the address of element zero of the array." I don't think what the author

It's not a simplification. It's information theory. It's not about one-to-one encodings (eg, bit 14 is whether you live in Arizona or not -- such a scheme would be ridiculous), but rather the amount of information that a discriminator rev

The implication (not entirely clearly stated in the article) is that if a puzzle with n clues is solvable, a puzzle with n+1 clues is also solvable. Conversely, if a puzzle with n clues is unsolvable, any puzzle with n-1 clues is similarly

I strongly doubt that the writer meant it to be taken literally that R.R. had mastered DiffEQs in 3rd grade.

I bought a Roku about two years ago; it's been a wonderful little device; have had very few problems, and most of those were down to the content providers and not the box itself.

Can you recommend any good resources for learning 3D-oriented maths? I took linear algebra back in college but definitely think I'll need some refreshers, as it's been a while.

Including this guy right here. While I'm a programmer, I've never done any games programming, and most certainly have never done anything in 3D -- it was a learning experience for me to watch him. It was also inspiring, such that I may ev

I can echo the article's sentiments. I upgraded to the new client a few weeks ago and cannot adequately express the horror I experienced when my clean, intuitive UI/UX went away and was replaced by some forsaken window vomited up from a de
