i was downloading the test with my 33.6k modem. back then, in germany, flatrates where not yet common, so i did not want to fall in the trap and waste alot of money playing online.
i remember that some phone provider was having a "free internet" day (you could dial in for free if you where able to get one of the limited spots) and i was up 5 in the morning before school to play a free round of quake 3 test... good times.
i agree with linus. i find it particular useful for a common bail-out or error-handling at the end of a method. you just jump there and are good. no unnecessary indention or duplication required.
but that is about the only place i found the usefullness outweigh the danger...
ah, thanks! thats neat. Had I had a real look at the source code I would have noticed. but the prospect of knowing how to do a simple list view did not seem that interesting to actually scroll down...
I have not been following JavaFX along for some time because it seemed abandoned. Is there any news?
And, could someone give some context: What is special about this tutorial? Seems like nothing post-worthy at first sight...
I really like Fabians source code reviews. Would love to see engines like Unreal being open-sourced to compare how they work internally. Would be a nice perspective. I.e. Unreal was much better in out-door scenes and I think the maps where not heavily preprocessed like in Quake et.al. What was their way of tackling the problem?
In case there are any resources that describe the technical details, would be nice If someone could post a link.
thanks; i missed the import. I only remember that the method also exists in the JS api itself. did not think that there might be a wrapper around with the same name :-)
any idea why i get the JS error "requestAnimationFrame is not defined" when I run the HTML page on my local system. Same browser (firefox 12)) renders the online-like just fine.
As i understand this method is part of the browser's JS api. So, why is it not defined if I run it "locally"?
I think it is the same for german police. I.e. you at least have to shot in the air once and call out "stop or i will shoot you!".
Obviously, this is not necessary if the life of the officer or someone else is at risk.
totally agree with you.
just for your statement "I really want to try it out. Especially since I know Ruby (and C) but I don't know any Obj-C.": Would be interesting to really know what is the steeper/longer part of the learning curve: learning ObjC or learning the frameworks. To me, ObjC is a lean language (with an awful bracket syntax just like lisp) but learning the ins and outs of the frameworks is what took me the most time.
Will be my first time at the conference. Don't know anybody, but really looking forward to meet some nice people and get some first-hand knowledge! :-D
i have lately been writing a simple "samba" client for iOS (https://github.com/38leinaD/tango) and after that experience i must say to the developer doing the samba replacement at apple: poor bastard; you are in for a world of pain!
It is really a horrible protocol where you can see how it evolved and was extended from windows version to version...
if someone can afford an apple pc, he for sure can also afford 5$ for a good software!
if anything, this should teach the teens that good software can also have a price.
as i am surprised that no one has mentioned it: when ever i am in the uk or ireland i get a nice cold pear cider (bulmers, magners...). just love to drink it instead of a beer!
got the first real contact to vim via these screencasts a few weeks ago (except for the standard i,:wq commands to get around). Amazing editor: powerful and available on any platform; my main problem before was that the later is not true for textmate; now: learn once, use anywhere!
even though i don't personally agree with the chancellors optionion, i find it great that we finally have reached a point where such issues can be discussed openly. And I am still suprised on that quote...
... Normally, everyone is just to frightened to be proud of his country or say out loud his true position because of the past we have.
