I believe you can deduct state from federal tax, which would save ~2.5% in marginal tax. In addition, social security phases out at ~120k so that's another 7.5% savings. So the difference is almost a wash if I understand correctly?

If you look at the tables below, it is indeed Objective-C. For Oct of this year, C is listed as 31k active repos, JS is 186k, and Obj-C is 224k. The ratio of C to JS ratios seems reasonable, so I have no reason to believe that they're

As an iOS Developer, I'm surprised that there are more Objective-C repos than any other language, including Javascript, on GitHub. Does that seem surprising to anyone else? Would love to figure out why that is the case...

For some reason, this reminds me of when GM & co bought all the streetcar companies, only to kill off streetcars in favor of busses. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Motors_streetcar_consp...

Interesting. I almost though this was going to be an advertisement for Swift, since I saw this exact argument in a WWDC talk. Apple calls Swift a "protocol-oriented" programming language, and with the addition of first class value

No problem. It might not seem obvious when you build small-mid size backends, because in that scenario you might have an access token stored in your database that's checked each time someone makes a request. Token revocation is as easy

I work at Stormpath (an Auth as a Service company) and see stuff like this all the time. It's actually really hard to do token revocation properly; People implement tokens and see revocation as a feature to be implemented "in the

This integration is NOT SECURE. Mint asks for your API key, which Coinbase implements rather poorly. Your API key will grant any application FULL ACCESS to your Coinbase account, so if Mint gets compromised, the attacker can send your Bitco

Alternatively, you could try mining yourself if you're curious and want to learn about cryptocurrencies. I wrote a guide on how to get started with mining in <10 minutes (mostly for friends with gaming PCs), for some of my friends w

Most altcoins use scrypt instead of SHA256, so that it's harder to make FPGAs/ASICs, thus relatively easier for people with GPU/CPUs. This is because if only people with specialized hardware could mine, the network could be m

This was a bit shocking to me, but I found out from an employee that attwifi is actually off a 4G modem. Any wired connection should be better.

Having run almost a dozen hackathons for high school and college students, I'm not surprised at all to hear this story. At our last CodeDay in Seattle, a 17-year old HS student built an app that's received over 175,000 downloads on Google P

I really agree with this post. Hackathons can be used as a great way of energizing, educating, and building a community of passionate, motivated hackers. I'm really interested in using this force to build the next generation of technologist

I was kinda skeptical as well, because I actually don't speak much Chinese (even though I learned it at a young age), so I think in English, yet I was very good at math in HS (competitive). Yet, looking back, I realized that I did think of
