I saw her talk in London earlier this year. She was hilarious, eloquent, and inspiring. I found listening to her quite moving in a way I hadn't anticipated. Remarkable woman. I feel thankful to have had the chance to just stand there a

Great job, and I didn't know cats had such a wide field of vision they could see behind them!

It's not that easy, unfortunately - I'm a registered developer (for the Wii U) and to be 'enabled' for Switch development, you need to jump through a bunch of hoops including describing your previous experience with game

There's conflicting advice on where to start with Iain M Banks' Culture novels, but I would personally start with the first - Consider Phlebas - and read the rest in order. If you like Consider Phlebas, you'll almost certainl

We use GovPaas for a few things. GovPaas provides the platform which we deploy our applications onto (under the hood it's Cloud Foundry). It is incredibly cheap for our use cases (as it turns out, unsustainably so for the team who prov

I work with Honda. I've passed the link on. Doesn't look great if you appear to be ignoring this kind of thing!

Some really interesting details in here, presented in a very accessible way. I wasn't aware of how earlier consoles used (effectively) pulses of static noise to create drums, although it seems obvious now I've read that!

Wonderful job. Great illusion of depth with just SVG and CSS. Reminds me a bit of Wind Waker.

Can vouch for its efficacy as an indicator for the traits you might want. I use a small application that demonstrates some anti patterns / questionable design choices and ask candidates to talk me through their thoughts.

Love this. Owls are fascinating. It feels very strange how light they are when they perch on you - even though I was expecting it.

Good luck Remy, sounds fun! Among other things, Remy and his family run an excellent front-end development conference in Brighton, UK (although I'm simplifying it a lot by calling it that) called ffconf ( https://2018.ffconf.

I live in the UK, manual cars have had adaptive cruise control here for some time.

Unlike the Wii U, which had a fairly accessible developer program, the Switch is still out of bounds to your average hobbyist developer. Nintendo have been pretty quiet about it too, other than instructing people to get in touch with them i

I know what you mean, but I subconsciously compare his achievements and obvious talent at that age to myself when I was his age - and he's light years ahead of where I was. Hence, I find it impressive full stop, but also impressive at

I work for one of those companies, and you're absolutely right. Our company takes confidentiality very seriously indeed, it will be interesting to see the consequences of this.

I had Windows phones for a few years - Windows 7 & 8. I moved to Android with a Nexus 5X, but still had fond memories of Windows phone. It was a limited but snappy little platform. My Pixel is off for repair at the moment so I've h

I share your sentiments - the Wii U has an excellent, albeit small lineup of software. I've seen it as a companion to the PS4 / Xbox rather than a competitor.

This sounds like an excellent step for Nintendo, if it's true. The Wii U & 3DS development kits are fairly expensive if you're hoping to bash out a title in your evenings / weekends. $500 would give a leg up to those peop

We have a few at work in our new building, I really love them. They're very nice to write on, very responsive and fast, and you can wheel them around - brilliant.

Not a phone, but Amazon offer an included 'no worries' warranty on their Kindle Fire Kids edition tablet - in the UK at least. I have two reasonably destructive young children, so it's a little extra piece of mind.

You're right about the UI slowness. That is a problem for the system as a whole. When it was originally released, returning to the home screen (for example) was incredibly slow - it's marginally better since a system update, but w

It says a custom Tegra, I'd be very interested to find out more about the specifics though.

The Nintendo Shop on the Wii U is reasonable, actually. It's fairly easy to use, discoverability is decent. It's pretty basic but it's (in my opinion) their best attempt yet. Assuming they build on what they've learn fro

I'm quite excited by this. The video was a bit lengthy but it demonstrated the concept quite well. Glimpses of Mario, what appeared to be Skyrim, too - more third party support this time perhaps? I'm most interested to see the pri

That was the only version of Lemmings I'd ever played until I tried the SNES version many years later. I discovered I'd been spoiled by the Acorn. Anyone going to school in the UK during the 90s will probably have encountered an A

I got circa 17fps on a Nexus 7 tablet running Chrome, in flight mode. Would love to try with touch control enabled. Great work.

Superb. I went on to read the sample chapter, which was equally amusing and interesting. I think I'm going to order the book, despite the fact I can't really think of any practical applications for Lisp in my day job - although who knows.
