I read those comments as "it's not going to happen overnight." There's a lot of code written in Obj-C that will stay in Obj-C for a while. Many people don't even have time to learn Swift right now, and don't ne

He explained this in the post a little bit, but when you deploy to Heroku, scale down dynes, etc., Resque workers will be killed, and if they're processing a job the job will be killed. He also mentioned that they use Resque Retry to r

I was about to do the same thing. App Engine sorely lacks those features currently, so I'm very excited for this (assuming it has good support for App Engine in addition to Compute Engine which I saw in the keynote).

It's true that you can only handle them in defer funcs, but the defer func could be anywhere up the stack, not just the current function you're inside. (I'm not sure if that was your understanding or not) "The panic and

Simplicity? My grandma doesn't want to buy an "external display", she would truly have no idea where to even start to do that. And then after she's got the Mac mini, the external display, and the cable to connect the dis

I think he/she was saying that as an example of a way that "most people" rationalize things. It follows this sentence: "When you combine all those things and still fail, most people will blame something besides just luck

It's a little misleading to include only part of that quote: "The core creative community is very small but is also very close – there’s been changes there, but the change isn’t perhaps as dramatic as you might assume." He&#x

Seriously. If this is such a great product, couldn't they have shown a screencast demonstrating what the narrator was saying instead of showing tangentially related stock video?

"But events such as Fitbit's recent recall of more than 1 million fitness bands over user skin irritations," Weird that they pointed this out as a flaw in wearable technology. Isn't that just poor choice in material? See

Signing up for an account on $EXCHANGE_THAT_ISNT_COMPROMISED_YET so you can unload $17,000,000 worth of Bitcoin sounds far more insane to me than this does.

On iOS, the icon has even more meanings than that. The system share menu has three distinct sections. The first is AirDrop, to share a copy with a nearby device. The second is exporting to external apps and social networks (this can happen

The responsive layout is completely broken in iOS 7.1 Safari. There's way too much extra padding, so each line is only 1-3 words long.

> Are containers the new scripts? They certainly seem to work well for that. Heroku, for example, uses containers for not just persistent processes (application servers, workers) but also short-lived processes. Tasks that run on a sche

Apple moves away from Aqua after more than a decade using it, and you're surprised designers have already started pouring over the details to see what's new?

I feel the same way, I think it will definitely take a couple more iterations for the new design language to feel strong. But, look at the first beta of iOS 7 and compare it to iOS 7.1/8 and Yosemite. Huge, huge improvements already, I

Maybe it's just Safari in OS X Yosemite, but that animation that progresses as you scroll looks terrible. Jerky, not fluid, etc. These scrolling animations look really, really bad if you don't nail the execution, and they can acti

Similarities between the new dock and the dock in pre-Leopard is an exception, I think. There is much more not in common design-wise than there is in common.

That's not what he means. The naming of which view or window class we're referring to is meaningless. iOS 7 features the same concept where views slide and transition onto the view you're looking at (which as you pointed out

Yes, it says that in the announcement: > The object model of RubyMotion for Android is based on Java. Ruby classes, objects, methods and exceptions are Java classes, objects, methods and exceptions, and vice-versa. No bridge is involved.
