I'm not saying changing the native code, but with the same native code building a different interface from some kind of description file that could be updated remotely. Maybe Apple would not be happy about that, but I don't know if they'd b

"the company had chosen to build its apps predominantly using HTML5 so that it could take advantage of reusing programming code across multiple mobile platforms" This is certainly a benefit, but at Facebook's scale, it made sense to dedicat

It looks nice but it also looks very busy. One thing I will never understand though, is a design that includes infinite scrolling and a footer. I finally got to the footer because the refreshing locked somehow, but it seems that it's just

This data seems pretty useless for the most part. Median salary without taking into account the location is meaningless. On page three, they try to separate regions but "Pacific" is certainly way too wide a region to get anything from it.

Well, that's kind of silly. Not a huge deal, but I listen to my podcasts through a playlist that gathers all the podcasts I subscribe to, so it mixes it up a bit. Sounds like it won't happen anymore…

Question for Ryan: I know you said you work 4 days a week at Treehouse. How well do you respect that? Do you do any kind of work during the weekend or just errands, relaxing and family time?

Most people don't actually take that time, even if they could easily find the time. (I, for one, don't take the time, even if I end up clicking on links on Reddit like a zombie at the end of the day) So having it on a schedule isn't a bad t

"I'm not sure what I'm supposed to gather from this John/Norman comparison" In my opinion, one thing that can happen is the following: Norman gets easily a job at a great company where he'll continue to improve his skills amongst other 1%

In that case, wouldn't it be "iterates on its own (…) app"?

The landing page looks nice, but it really doesn't tell me anything about the product. Only if I pay close attention to the screenshots can I infer that it's a calendar that gets information from multiple sources, and that tries to bring up

Oh wow, you're right! I've always thought you could use a verified phone number as the "From" number, but it turns out that's true only for phone calls, not SMS. From http://www.twilio.com/docs/api/rest/sending-sms : Parameter Descri

I found the videos amusing, but I was expecting the post to go in a different direction. More specifically, I had thoughts at some point of a Twilio app that you could set up to send some SMS on your behalf now and then. (similar to http:/

Regardless of your opinion on Netflix's decision, announcing any negative news on a Friday afternoon (though I'm not surprised they did so) is bad form.

I kind of agree for the "drag to reorder" in the stocks apps, but this doesn't work for Facebook and Bootstrap. For Facebook, it doesn't work because the grip is not the in the correct direction. The grip is a skeuomorphism for real grips t

Was it ever "officially" announced that Meteor was part of YC? I've followed the original launch post but can't remember that mentioned. (I looked back and didn't find anything either) I find it interesting to see this project as well as Di

It's somewhat possible though not very widely used. Basically, any iOS app can register a URL scheme and be opened with that scheme and anything after that by another app. This is used for example by Camera+: http://api.camerapl.us/app-a

"Why do you think Apple has both a "Photo Album" and "Camera" app? And both a "Phone" and "Contacts" app?" I'd say that in any case, they had to have Contacts and Photo Album apps for the iPod Touch and iPad. Why also include them on the

On one hand I think this is great because it will help research in that domain move forward (no pun intended), but I can't help but think of the very strong lobbying from Google that had to have been necessary for it. "The California bill,

I don't know how it is on Android but on iOS for example, you can make phone calls only the Phone app. For example, the Yelp app gives you the business info and when you tap the phone number it switches to the Phone app. For the most part,

No, the idea was formed in October 2009 (or maybe a bit before). The following screenshot of Gtalk logs shows that she knew it was for that specific idea.

I agree and I've been trying to clean up some hacks just a bit (things like removing API keys that should have been in a config file from the start…) and put them on GitHub. Not because they're great and the world needs to know, but mostly

If these salaries are to be believed, it's good news and bad news. Bad news: I've been and am significantly underpaid. Good news: well, I guess I can only go up… Do these number seem ok to more people?
