No pictures yet, we're more focused on nailing the single user experience vs. trying to make it compete against the more social list type apps. We hope to have the notes be a lot smarter in the future, but right now you'll have to actually

Hi! It's all native, I looked briefly at some of those tools and decided I'd rather just learn objective-c.

If you didn't think the patent system was fucked up before, you sure as fuck should know now.

This really isn't that surprising to me. Game testers are the same young kids who are running around xbox games going out of their way to be as offensive as possible to everyone. It should come as no shock that they act the same way at wo

Unless there's some caveat that says 'if you got a discounted meal on the same receipt as a fully paid for meal then this specific receipt doesn't count towards the 8 receipts' then I don't really see how he's 'being difficult.' Don't adver

Or, why don't they just interleave ads into the streams and require developers to either display those ads or pay a CPM equivalent to hide them? It seems clear their main concern is around the home_timeline feed anyways, so weaving in thei

Design is all about subtleties, not big deals. Does it make a difference? You bet.

It's true, going to college for a semester taught me that I never, ever want to write java for a living.

One of the biggest problems with the 1.8.x versions of MRI (or CRuby as it's referred to in this article) is that the GC is pretty slow and tends to get called a lot. A good explanation of the reasons behind that can be found here: http:/

I wouldn't recommend using a regular text editor and dealing with the iOS APIs. I pretty much despise IDEs, but sadly the objective-c paragraph long method signatures require it. That's actually why I didn't even bother with RubyMotion, i

Public transportation is a million times better in San Francisco. Not once have I ever felt like a car was necessary in the ~5 years I've lived here. In the 7 years I spent in Boston, at no point did I have a commute that was less than 3x

Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but unfortunately for you, lots of people drink. It's not just a programmer thing. It's one of the most prominent ways people socialize. Not programmers, people. I'm sorry that you feel uncomfortable

Sexism (specifically in tech) is the new racism. If you go down that path of anything remotely sexist, expect to be torn to shreds just as quickly as if you made a racist remark. If people didn't get offended, then people like Sqoot will

There's a pretty wide range of employees between the dude who is mocking his interviewer because he disagrees with a question, and an under-confident yes man who just goes along with everything. Arguing for the sake of improving things is

Perhaps. But I'd much rather pass on someone who might have been exceptional than hire someone who has already proven themselves to be a bit of an asshole.

I'm not sure why people are so offended by this question. While I've never asked this question as the interviewer, I've been asked similar questions whilst interviewing and felt they always lead down a path that was helpful to both sides.

I think it's totally cool to ask that question, but if you're going to ask that instead of answering mine, I'm going to assume you're an argumentative dick and probably wrap up the interview pretty quickly. The "I know you are, but what am

No, it's their highest bandwidth residential plan. Technically, I still have bandwidth caps ( http://imageshar.es/4f675654998b758611000b60 ) but they don't enforce them.

Doesn't work. People would just create dummy accounts with 2GB folders, share them with themselves, and have infinite storage. If they offered a 100GB plan for $20 / month, it would destroy their $125 / year / person plan since I would ima
