I think it’d be better to judge it once those users have had a little time to try it. I signed up but couldn’t find anyone to follow, found the lack discoverability baffling, and ultimately bounced off.

I dunno, on performance they could just have limited number of registrations to what they can handle. Better that than having potential users getting a bad impression because everything is too slow.

Yeah I had the exact same issue with syncing externally purchased music whilst using apple music, I honestly could not believe apple has delivered software that behaves in such a user hostile manner. It hurts their reputation and convinced

OK get you, I personally don't mind that sort of thing if I am explicitly asked but I see what you are saying.

I am not sure it's the same, as far as I was aware Google photos never deletes the local copy.

I unsubscribed from apple music when I found out about this and discovered iTunes would not allow me to sync music I bought from bandcamp onto my iDevices whilst using the iCloud support. Does seem to be working times for apple, product wis

Same for me, it looks good but £270 is too much for me to justify.

To me big problem with Vainglory is not that the matches are long, its that your locked into the matches. Quite often within minutes of starting match you find out your team-mates have no interest in playing strategically or are actively tr

I guess the obvious argument would be that its worth subsidizing public transport as it has additional benefits, in terms of the environment and being open to the entire population not just those who are able and can afford to drive.

Ta will definitely give it a look, one nice thing about Serial is it put me onto This American Life which I'm enjoying (in parts, some of it puts my teeth on edge). The depressing bit about the system is even when it's clear there

I'm not an expert on the UK legal system but one thing I enjoyed about the Serial podcast was getting an insight into just how crazy the US system can be. Anyway 10 days is obviously nothing, especially when he's cost a man 25 yea

I've put some thoughts below with references to cookbook recipes, I'm not saying they are in sweet point for a lovely resource oriented design but they are things you can handle. 1. Recipe 2.4 is one option. Alternative might be g

The page linked to in the second point mentions "Restful Web Services Cookbook", it's a while since I've read it but my memory is as the the author says it covers solutions for each of the three issues you are raising.

1. I think though you'd really want to have some measurements regarding the performance impact of things like over fetching. Also remember that having a resource oriented design and working well with HTTP gives you out of the box advan

Indeed, not only can it more entertaining but a more people focused approach is known to be more effective as the Guardian themselves recently pointed out [1]. [1] http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2015/sep&

Some of these comments seem to be proof that not everyone commenting on here reads the articles before giving their views.

Would you have a link to an example of a streaming API done elegantly with async? I'm interested to see what it looks like.

Utter nonsense, he replied to a comment about expressiveness with [1], its only natural that I assumed he was saying that lack of static typing lead to lack of expressiveness. [1] ES6 isn't statically typed. It might be better for you

by colin_jack 11y ago
OK but he quoted the expressiveness in his reply which I thought meant that was the point he was addressing.
