redDragon··on Facebook Does It Again. Cheating Dalvik
Yep i think the blog post referred the stuff as being LinearAlloc == dex method count, I have made it clear now.
redDragon··on Facebook Does It Again. Cheating Dalvik
Yes and still FB relies on this patch to run its app, and sometimes it does fail as happened on my device.
redDragon··on Facebook Does It Again. Cheating Dalvik
Yes i sort of forgot about it, the facebook article was old, i read it a long time ago, i rediscovered the issue when running FB on one of the Gingerbread devices.

Oh you will be surprised: Not every game requires higher Android version, they are mostly satisfied with c++, http://imgur.com/iX4dcL5

Card Games: Gingerbread (14%)

There is a way: https://github.com/creativepsyco/secondary-dex-gradle

The new gradle build system really simplifies a lot of things in terms of the build cycle

redDragon··on Infringement of 9Gag's trademark [pdf]
Yes, I agree if ruqqq brands it as just-another-funny-app then perhaps there won't be any copyright violations, since 9GAG steals content from other sites, stealing content from them won't amount to any copyright violation. In my opinion unless 9GAG specifically says that the user-supplied content belongs to them, then it doesn't, but the terms here say something on those lines: http://9gag.com/tos
redDragon··on Poll: Would HN benefit from Reddit's AMA-style posts from technologists?
No, HN is not Reddit
redDragon··on Learn Git Branching
OP here. I am so sorry! I saw the link in a reddit post and cross-posted it to HN. I use Google Reader for reddit RSS and found the site awesome enough to warrant a HN post.

Talk about expletives in Source Code. Ha Ha! http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/content/xslt/t...

Perhaps mozilla's code base can be analysed for usage of commit styles ;)

redDragon··on The Official Rackspace Blog - Why Technical People Should Blog (But Don’t)
so true. especially the part about not having experience in trying to know about the audience. I think it is really important what the audience wants. At times, you may find it tempting not to do certain things coz nobody is watching but i believe people eventually will.

Beer makes programming way better.

I think the market is pretty confused right now. As compared to 2007 when Apple first launched its iPhone and then again when it launched the iPad.

I guess we don't really know the resolution we as human beings prefer. With Linus Torvalds asking for a new Desktop Resolution as a standard I think we would need to wait and watch for the disruption to kick in.
