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 …

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 multipl…

Maybe you mean Concur? https://purescript-concur.github.io/purescript-concur-react/

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 m…

The author of the post, Oskar Wickstrom, is building such a tool (he mentions it in passing) : https://quickstrom.io/

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…

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 p…

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…

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, bu…

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 m…

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!" mome…

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 se…

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 t…

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…

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…

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 …

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…

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 …

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

This. I have ascended to a managerial position a couple of years ago, rising from the ranks to steer what used to by a group of my peers. A lot of cruft had been ailing the team fo…
