Money can help get through the time you need to get back on your knees. I've had the misfortune of having my cofounder die after 18 month and two investments rounds and some money would have really help. Also you have to prepare for th

He had a scooter accident. My feeling is that he probably had the accident because he was really pushing himself too much: he was barely sleeping 3h per night and in the end his life was totally unbalanced with lots of prescription pills to

The first time I picked the wrong co-founders (friends and all were engineers). The second time I picked the wrong project. The third time my co-founder died. The fourth time I wanted to do it alone but I almost burned out before my family

I tried and "failed" a couple of times in the last 14 years. Having a family pushed me to decide to settle down for some time. I started working as a software engineer at Apple a week ago. The itch is still there though ;-).

no, the problem is that you can treat any kind of text data as an executable. You can try to fix this by adding mountains of complexities and excuses but would still be true: as soon as you have text enter the equation you need to escape&#x

You are describing the problem exactly: it all too tempting to pass text around from user input to command line arguments without any way to validate the text data and assume it's ok because it's easy. It's exactly the same a

It's not about making protocols less understandable by humain, it's about recognising that we are programming computers, not humans and that it's time we accept that there should certainly be a way for the humans to interact

It's an "internet tech" bug. Every developper should know how hard it is to parse textual data vs well defined binary in a secure and fool proof way. Yet every damn internet piece of infrastructure is based on handling textua

Yes, and that's why one can wonder why they once again chose JSON for part of this new "web standard". Text based data formats should die.

I've been using the name for 13 years or so but a number of other libs started using the acronym unfortunately (New UI, Natural UI, etc.). I should have been more vocal and public about the lib from the beginning :-).

Kivy looks very nice but NUI is a very different beast (I'm the author). The main difference being that even though NUI is a complete multi-plateform framework that uses OpenGL for rendering, it has a strictly C++ API. If you want to s
