Now I got the social piece. Thanks for the explanation.

One thing I don't get Snapchat is that if I use an iPhone (Android probably has other way to do so), I can always make a screenshot whenever I open your naughty pictures, right? So what's the point even if the naughties get delete

I was being snarky in my another comment and was downvoted as hell. Oh well, I am OK with that. However, I can't help thinking of the failure of Scala at Yammer, which caused a big buzz two years ago [1] and [2]. From the blog posts I&

And one year later, a blog post titled "Why we moved to Java from Scala" or "Why we moved back to .NET" appeared on HN and havested hundreds of votes. Just kidding.

> It would have been an easier sell if you could do the IMAP proxying on the local device somehow. This should be easy to run an background proxy under Android. Not sure if this is possible under iOS7 though.

Unless LinkedIn open sources it and I host my own copy, there is no way for me to hand all my emails to LinkedIn.

Even for the same method each version of Mac OS X can behave slightly different, which causes pains for the users due to crashes and the developers to scratch their heads to reproduce. I've read quite a number of blog posts that the de

So just target Lion and above, that's 54%, which might sound small, but it's tens of millions of users. Mac software houses thrived in 2005 with 1/4 the user base that what that 54% represents. That's true. Though it&#

The fragmentation issue in Mac OS X [1] is the hurdle that has been holding me off from writing apps for Macs. According to [1] (published about half a year ago), the Mac OS X market share breakdown: 26.8% Mountain Lion 10.8 28.0% Lion 10.7

That maybe a while ago, like when Ubuntu was 9.0 and you had to compile from source code in order to get sgen? Things are much better now. Since early this year, I've been running a web service written in C# serving one of my iOS apps.

Yeah, the picture linked above kinds of creepy. I like the one currently being used better. By the way, it's a really impressive piece. Job well done!

How did you get the pictures to each person at the bottom of the page? Photoshop over their genuine pictures?

I get what you're saying. I do notice that myself is getting more cynical nowadays. On the positive side though you can push changes to your own government, while there is nothing you can do to the USA.

This is not impossible though. China has done this with their Great Firewall and web firms such as Baidu (search engine), QQ (like Facebook), Weibo (like Twitter), etc. I believe EU and Russia also have the capability to do the same if they

Sounds like what C++ shops used to do: enforcing a subset of C++, prohibition on anything else. However, each shop has its own subset.

The audience on the Mac App Store is not yet large enough to sustain low prices (like the iPhone can, sometimes) – it’s just not feasible. This is also true for niches iOS apps in the app store.

If your Exchange server is 2007SP1 and up, you can specify your OOF to only send to external users who are on your contacts list. That should resolve the mailing list spamming issue here.

I agree. This is the tragic commons of the human beings.

And meanwhile Fukushima has been dumping huge volumes of radioactive waste water into Pacific for the past two years, the western world seems to be OK with that. Maybe space is more valuable than oceans.

It's only a bit hypocritical. There are actual degrees of hypocrisy! I don't get this. Did you mean there are 50% hypocrites and 90% hypocrites? And the 50% hypocrites can always laugh it out at the 90% hypocrites, because he&#x

So blame the picture itself then. The last number is colored nearly black on a dark background. Also the number is a bit misleading. Most of the China's debris were probably generated by the ASAT test in 2007, which is not a common cas

This is hypocritical. US and the whole Western world is not any better on this.

If you billed those 900 hours for doing RFP for the customer, it doesn't sound too bad.

If I were you, I would cancel that order and re-purchase the new model.

Html5 sounds a perfect fit for the use cases you talked about.

There's also the school of thought that you should be using the hardware configuration you expect most users will be running and make sure your product runs acceptable on it. This might have been true for desktop software development

Well, I have a 2012 Macbook Air that I bought last fall and am really happy with. Before that, my main gear was an iMac late 2006, which was slow as hell, especially when compiling reasonably sized projects. An 2008 Macbook might be suffici

My “office” is a small corner of one of the bedrooms and consists of a 5yr old MacbookPro with a broken fan. I don't get this piece. If you're a developer, you should have the best development gears you can afford. Why have it
