I can't tell if you're trolling or serious. Retail is where the money is, but Amazon, a Seattle-based company, is for engineers living in Silicon Valley? How is the sector at all relevant? (Software is eating the world, and all th

He led his article with a distinction between the "enterprise" that you refer to, and the "modern enterprise" (Twitter, Facebook, Google, ...) that he discusses in his article. This article specifically focuses on the pr

GOMAXPROCS defaults to 1, meaning unless you change that value, your code will not run in parallel by default.

"Powered by Telefonica" really means "powered by OpenTok", which was developed by Tokbox, a Telefonica acquisition.

I can't imagine not using Xcode for a large Obj-C project either. The UI and tooling is not the issue. In that regard, I love Xcode, it's very helpful. The issue is that it's dog slow on my computer and it eats up all the mem

Are you serious? Maybe things have changed, but when I had a Windows Phone and did a (hopeful) search for any mildly popular app, I was greeted search results full of blatant rip offs. Same name, same icon, except published by some random d

Xcode is the number one reason why I don't do more iOS development. It just takes so much longer to do anything compared to languages that I can edit in a fast, simple text editor and run/test from terminal.

I think it's just missing a comma after "tank".

Good public transit is not impossible. It's done in other cities. There's just something about the political process of San Francisco, for example, that makes it difficult to improve MUNI.

In my anecdotal experience, it seems like at least a few Bay Area cities have a hard time doing that properly. Public transit is terrible here. I'm excited at the prospect of a private company giving it a try as a free service to the p

One change is that test/unit is now no longer part of the standard library, which Rails requires. The workaround is simple, "test-unit" must be added to the Gemfile. A less easily fixed change is that the following syntax no

Not compatible with Rails 3.2.x, for those still on that version. (And possibly will never be, as 3.2.x only receives security updates now.)

Honestly, I think it's simply because they tried to do way too much for this release. And everyone said that after WWDC. I remember thinking, "Wow. They just announced a TON of stuff, way more than any previous year. I wonder how

Wouldn't it be that persons job to advocate for SSL? I can't imagine it's that hard to sell "bank-level encryption to prevent a Target-like credit card leak" to the higher ups, especially at a company as relatively

Have you used iOS 7.1+ on an iPhone 5/5S or better? I haven't noticed any performance issues since iOS 7.0. I think they've optimized the hell out of the blur effect at this point. Bugs and generally poor software quality, ho

Old versions of OS X that you've previously downloaded are always available for re-download in the Mac App Store. You can use those downloads to downgrade.

It's probably too much to hope for a stability and performance focus for iOS 9 and OS X 10.11, but damn if I don't try.

Yeah, that statement is purely false. AirDisplay[1] does pretty much the same thing and has been out for years. [1]: https://avatron.com/applications/air-display/

The fact that it's proprietary, closed-source software probably doesn't help.

It has an episode I searched for that came out two days ago (after the raid, actually), so it can't be that old.

It didn't work well on desktop either. I can't wait until the "navigate to different things as the user scrolls" trend dies—this would have been SO much more effective without that.

Parallelism is determined by an environment variable called GOMAXPROCS (or, set at runtime), which is the number of threads executing user-level Go code simultaneously. This includes goroutines. By default, GOMAXPROCS=1.

iOS hasn't used ultrathin Helvetica since its early betas, and I'm not aware of anywhere substantial in Yosemite that uses ultrathin. I believe mostly everything is regular Helvetica.
