I read on the recent story about FAA regulations that current cockpit iPads are on all the time during takeoff and landing, although I suspect they'll be in airplane mode whenever they're on the plane. Presumably in case of an eme

I'm pretty sure that if your business depends on Flash, you should have started implementing an exit plan a couple of years ago by now.

For candidates who already have jobs, how would "auditioning" work? Is it assumed that they'd take time off from their current job to do it?

Conflict of interest. If you're advising startup X in the "deliver food to people at lunchtime" space, it could very well be a conflict to do the same to startup Y in the same space, as they'd be competitors.

Aren't you living dangerously by still using garbage collection on iOS at this point? Apple keep making dire statements about how everyone needs to stop using it, so I'd be worried that iOS8 will just remove it entirely, meaning a

Our app has ~15 view controllers laid out in a single storyboard, and we haven't had any issues with them. We only have one iOS developer, so I don't know if that makes a difference. We don't really use segues, though, since they seem to ad

Which are usually followed by Apple saying "We're delighted to have sold [a crapload] of [whatever] this weekend, a record amount etc etc". That's why Apple sellouts are interesting, because they actually tell you how many they've sold. If

Even if google itself isn't going anywhere, if the stock market falls over again it could cut a big chunk out of the value of everything, including "safe" companies like google.

I assume they'll want to set up edge caches at all the ISPs or something before going live with this, to save on their bandwidth costs?

This is no longer true when using ARC. See the "Stack Variables Are Initialized with nil" section of http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#releasenotes/Objecti... "Using ARC, strong, weak, and autoreleasing stack variables are now impli

This gets annoying with sites that have actions defined when you click on words, or bring up a popup window when you click, etc. :(

I felt that the inconsistency this post talks about was a good way to emphasize the difference between the "launch an app" icons and the "perform an operation" icons.

So is the problem Uber / Lyft / whatever, or is problem a lack of licensed taxis? If there were more licensed taxis available, women wouldn't have to take a shady unlicensed cab.

I went through the E-2 process a few years ago. IIRC you can pay an extra $1000 to make your application a "high priority" one, which cuts the guaranteed response time from something like 3 months to 30 days. When I did it as a high-priorit

Do you have to register it with the copyright office as soon as you create it, or could you create it, register it 10 years later, then immediately sue someone who copied it?

Sure, if you like. I like (for example) the RAII and templating features of C++, but if you want to just use C go for it. I guess what I really mean is, what does Erlang offer beyond "concurrency is easy if you don't share state"?

My first thought was that this would have fields for me to enter my email address and password, under the pretense of "we will test your password to see if it's secure". Wonder how many people you could get with that...
