With all the excitement with what Nvidia is doing, I thought I'd share this app I wrote a couple years ago. This is a real time ray tracer for iPhones. Complete with global illumin…

Does it have to be interesting to share? Writing a gameboy emulator is a fun and challenging project in and of itself, and something that not everyone can do. That alone I think is…

I agree with you in general, but I think it's worth pointing out that programming the NES's PPU is actually very similar to programming with a 2D graphics library today. NES games …

While Salt Lake technically meets the requirements, they do so just barely. The metro area barely cracks a million people, and the airport maybe has 1 or 2 international flights a …

Can someone who is a little more into Lord of the Rings comment on this? This guy didn't really get a lawsuit dropped by claiming that Tolkeins books were actually written 5000 yea…

A quick scan makes it look like you don't have direct access to create your own UI elements, you are stuck to the prebuilt stuff. This definitely is designed to maximize battery li…

Kudos to the creator. Writing something like this takes a lot of effort and it looks like they did a great job! Well done! With that said, on wider level, what's the allure of thes…

We ask a variation of this question in our interviews. (We use lightbulbs, not eggs). I've yet to have anyone storm out yet.

It's not a matter of it's a culture fit or not, it's a matter of showing that you care about the job. We wear whatever the hell we want to at the office, but if I conduct an interv…

Very cool! I created an app using some of nathanborrors work that let's you browse through all of the Sonos Music services (Like Rdio, Spotify, Pandora, iHearRadio, etc). Setup you…

I didn't think you could run your own login and payment on Apple. Or have they changed that?

I've been wondering how the many recruiters have suddenly been getting my phone number. If you are a developer they blacklist your e-mail from creating an account to view the info …

The author also claims the Gini coefficient doesn't take into count population growth and so skews the number. That is completely wrong. It's calculated using the Lorenzo curve whi…

This demo (nor none of the others linked to on the main Shumway page) appear to be working on my iPad, mobile Safari running iOS7. Not sure if it's me or if it's the code. Can anyo…

I have a good friend who is a mathematician, masters degree. She works for an insurance company doing statistics as an actuary. This is just based her anecdotes, but from her stori…

As other users have pointed out, Microsoft actually does a lot of this. If you have a successful app MS will pay you handsomely to port it over. Honest, the Surface's problem is mo…

The curious thing to me is it took me 3 months once to get one of my apps through the app store because reviewer thought it was too similar to the app "Draw Something". My app was …

I'm sure it's just me, but I've never felt bad or weird or bad or even cared much about the possibility of paying 20 bucks for something vs 19 bucks with a 5% off coupon code. That…

Fare well old friend. My high school memories of webrings would not be the same without you.

Isn't this the dream of the Microsoft Surface and similar tablets? Give them multitasking, a keyboard case, and boom instant productivity. I personally just think it comes down to …

At this point, unless I'm going to be dealing with large (n>5000) data sets, I just use NSKeyedArchiver and serialize/deserialize all my objects to a file. Might not be as fast as …

I see iTunes Connect is still up. Does that mean that apps can still be submitted, assuming you all ready have the needed provisioning and certs?
