There's a big difference between saying "This person, IMHO, is an asshole" and "I'm gonna punch your face until you bleed from the asshole" (just an example, I have never ever said such horrendous things. I'm appalled that you would take me for that kind of person you fucking piece of shit! I'LL KILL YOU!)
But seriously, I tell my kid and other kids in my family - don't say anything you wouldn't say in person. And if you threaten someone in person, well that's assault.
People need to learn that being a SHITCOCK Internet Fuckwad is unacceptable. People also need to grow thicker skin, but when it truly hurts someone it's time to stop.
Not hard at all. What's hard is getting clients to pay for it. In my experience when they do want mobile development they go for the whole package, using a native mobile app targeted at specific devices like the iPhone.
Agreed. As someone who started a software company and failed, I can vouch that there's more to it then just software. Much more. Have a plan and make sure it's more than just "If you build it they will come".
The main lesson learned? Money is the life blood of business. Have a great credit line or a lot of cash. Tales of bootstrapping a business on $5k charged to a credit card leave out the inevitable need to actually pay for things beyond that. They are fairy tales spun to entice the reader and make the subject look like a "god of business". Don't fall for it. Be smart, have the bag of cash ready. It's going to matter more than your idea.
When I witness this constant chase of removing risk from the world it makes me wonder if it's delusion or just plain stupidity. No matter how hard you try there will always be risk involved in almost every action. Accept it and treat it rationally. I'm not saying to ignore it. Just to accept it as life. Life is brutal.
I've said it before and I'll say it again - get your greasy stinky corn chip covered fingers off my screen. Now get out of here and do not cross my lawn!
I should have been more clear, apologies - I know both objective-c and java. I don't really scoff at either one, they both have quarks but also unique advantages. I don't get attached to either one, but if someone dislikes java, I don't understand why they'd favor objective-c over it. Syntax is similar and performance issues are moot these days given the VMs out.
To me it's like the old saying goes - six in one hand half a dozen in the other. I'll take either one. My initial comment is just displaying my general "ugh" regarding developing on mobile in general. All those skill sets lost from the yesteryear of PC programming come out to get around the same limitations - not enough CPU, not enough RAM, etc.
I'll go one better and say we should try him in a military tribunal and sentenced to hard time in ADX. That will send the world a message - NO MISTAKES OR ELSE.
Get real man, this is a human error. Your struggle for perfection baffles my monkey brain.
Politics This section is for news relevant to United States government politics. It was created primarily to cover the 2004 US Presidential Election, but today exists for occasional stories that fit the bill.
And to add to that, having developed for both iPhone and Android - Android is simply a better platform to develop for. Not because of objective C, that's okay. It's the lack of features such as multi-tasking and simple cross-app data sharing that makes Android shine over iPhone OS. (Just my opinion!)
But I think I'll take the pragmatic programming approach and develop for both. Cross platform dev for both will be the hotness by then IMHO.
I'm against this but I would think that reporting a crime will be controlled under the same laws used to handle phone calls to 911. Not all 911 calls equal a crime, but calling one and lying to them is a crime.
Brits seem to be happy to give up their freedoms left and right. It's kind of insane. This is why you see "uppity" Americans constantly deriding the size and scope of government. No amount of protection will save you from the dangers life, so what exactly are you getting in return beyond a nosy neighbor being up your ass 24/7?
I don't know. Part of me says this is creepy. But part of me says this is no different than community watch programs. The freedom to abuse is always there, but some will accept that risk over the risk of getting hurt or having their property damaged.
Not me personally, I'm armed to the fucking teeth. Ba dum ching.
I don't know know what it is about/. but a lot of people are too quick to pull the trigger on labeling something as the Streisand Effect.
Or adding the "correlation is not causation" label when the post never said it was. Or adding the "what could possibly go wrong" label to any story dealing with almost any innovation.
Yeah, we're a Microsoft "Partner" also where I work. It means free software and great support. What it does not mean is that they write our software, so I'm a bit skeptical of them actually putting their "in house" stamp on it. It sounds like marketing spin when the going was good.
Yes but those iPhones were treated incorrectly by the perpetrators. The one that exploded in the one guy's pants pocket was not supposed to be carried outside of a fashionable case. Everyone knows that sheesh.
Not a problem. How does zero dollars sound? Don't let the door hit you in the ass..
I'm 13 years in and I know one thing - the more money you make the more they expect. So expect the interview process to get more thorough throughout your career. They don't give six figure jobs to people that can't be bothered to show up more than once.
But what if they want you to meet multiple people? This happens a lot when scheduling conflicts make it impossible to do one all-day interview.
Personally I go out of my way for a potential company if I like what I hear throughout the interview process. I can come back more than once. In fact I did two phone interviews with the same company and I'll be flying down there Monday to do an on-site interview. I get paid a very good living and I understand that my employers expect the best so I'm not too put out by it. A great job can turn into a lifetime position so one might as well put as much effort as needed.

You can always find a job using one of the many job apps available in the app store.

But Java on Android.. meh. One could easily say the same about Objective C on the iPhone. It's no Sunday walk in the park.

Yeah I wouldn't send any resumes to the LDS church in Salt Lake City, Utah. You have to be a Mormon to work for them.
But IMO most places only care about relevant experience.

But they can do this without CCTV, so what's the difference?
Or maybe we can get a CCTV installed in their house to make sure they aren't watching the CCTV incorrectly. For oversight of course.
Duder, in modern America 1000 pounds is a lot of money too :-)
