Spare the rod, spoil the child I'm from El Salvador and beatings are a regular thing for us. It's normal for us to start working at 12. Now that's the extreme, but this whole don't…

Interesting, thanks so much for the response. I'll keep this in mind as I continue to develop my app. It's still between custom byte stream, json, thrift, etc. But MsgPack looks in…

Very interesting discussion. I work on a 2D MMORPG for Android. This is extremely relevant to me. I have a few questions though. What if you take compression and deserialization ou…

You don't scale a language, you scale an architecture.

Hard to be depressed when Jesus got you....

Not yet, right now I have no need to learn yet another scripting language. I've been spending most of my language learning efforts on Erlang lately.

I've used Ruby, Java, and Perl professionally and my favorite by FAR is Perl.

This post makes way too many assumptions as to the causes of Jeff's post. Reminds of psychology, complete reach-around post.

I don't know, I'm pretty bothered by this. I checked Google Play the day I purchased it and it was only available w/ a contract. That's why when I saw it at Fry's I bought it becau…

Ugh, you gotta be kidding me! I just bought this at Frys for full price (that's 799$) I'm going to go see if they price match since I just bought it this weekend.

Indeed, it looks like they're even using requestAnimationFrame. It's still really slow on Firefox, which I've found to be one of the worst offenders when making canvas games. The p…

Out of all the languages I've used (C/C++/Perl/Javascript/Erlang/Objective-C/Ruby) I like Perl the best and javascript+ruby the least.

Freaking amazing, I've been utilizing MVC heavily to develop HTML5 games. Mainly borrowing ideas from Android and iPhone development with their layout engines and staying out of th…

I don't think it's coming full circle. They're just properly separating the project code, so that the time critical code is in C/C++ while the scale/fault-tolerant code will be in …

Nope sorry, I've only read pieces of his Art of CS book, but I'm also interested in reading 3:16 which I plan on ordering soon. It's supposed just pick out the verse number 3:16 fr…

Mr. Knuth is a personal hero of mine both as a programmer and as a Christian. He's pretty awesome.

Same as @wallflower. Our team is really small (2) so we never really run into that. I wouldn't want two devs working on the UI at the same time. It's kind of an unspoken rule becau…

Nah, it was actually a basic form and tableview. However, it did have in-app purchasing and that was tedious to implement. Not code-wise, but fiddling with xcode/apple dev center t…

It's so much easier when you already know how to program anything. I was a Perl dev and dabbled in Java. I was forced at my job to learn iOS and produce a specific app in less than…

For normal interfaces XIBs are way easier to maintain and handle then a bunch of addSubView calls. The only things that should be hard coded are interfaces that are too unique or e…

Me too, I'm working on a 2D MMO for Android: http://developingthedream.blogspot.com And it's a real treat to see a 2D game like it being made. Not to say other participants didn't …

Honestly, that looks more like examples in a MAN page rather than explanations of an algorithm.

So, Knuth wrote it in 10 pages from the ground up? But, the other guy just used unix commands. I wonder how many lines of code all those utilities add up to. Probably more than 10 …

I've noticed in my industry that those who can't program, manage. Those who manage, tend to blog more because they have less to do in front of a computer. Kind of a useless and fil…

My original point is that the process of bidding and having people who don't care about a project spear head it. I suspected it was offshored because I smelled the rot, but looks l…
