Nice article, covers most of the issues that scrapers have to wrestle with. Light on actual details/code though, I find this to be more of a goto when it comes to a good example of a scraping guide: http://jakeaustwick.me&#x

yeah, hence why I said relative leg up on. Spotify is slow on desktop and annoying on mobile and they just don't seem to care. But compared to the mess that is iTunes on desktop and Music on iOS, it's a lot better. iTunes looks li

When Apple acquired Beats Music, it was "believed to count just 300,000 paying subscribers."[1] That's about 3% of the current total Apple Music subscribers. [1] http://appleinsider.com/articles/15/0

Spotify needs to fix their radio situation. I see their engineering posts about the machine learning algorithms they're using to intelligently recommend songs, yet all I ever hear is about a dozen songs on loop, no matter what the star

Apple Music has literally no paying customers yet, as they are all on free trial. I'm sure they will see a considerable churn from current numbers once people start getting charged and canceling.

Interesting that it has the same design aesthetic as the 6/6+ but has a smaller screen (4"). I bet a lot of people would want an iPhone the same size as this thing.

Thanks for the reply. That's about where my mind is currently as well, I think Swift as a language looks awesome but I think the amount of time I need to spend on learning all of the tooling in xcode will slow me down quite a bit compa

I get what you're saying, but lifting the character limit doesn't in any way mean you need to write longer tweets. You could still just write off the cuff thoughts when you have them, as the platform currently allows for.

How come Twitter doesn't lift the character limit on tweets? Then you could allow content writers to write a more coherent thought (IE not breaking it into a 20+ message tweet storm) and then normal length tweets could serve just as co

What's the deal with the name "Kubernetes"? Does it mean anything, or have some tech significance, or is it really just because it basically means "ruler" in Greek?

Doesn't that same risk exist if you're running a Tor exit node?

I'm not sure I understand your logic here. They've come up with a clever way to create a sustainable, free vpn service, with the ability to easily opt-out for a still reasonable price. All the while clearly stating how it all work

The apps you build with these hybrid frameworks are packaged and deployed with stuff like Cordova, which exposes all (pretty much) native functionality like camera, etc.

by dchuk 12y ago
An interesting implication of that statement is that all the hardware to make this functionality work is already in the vehicle if it's just a software update.

What's interesting to me as well is that they don't seem to have announced any sort of dock or usb hub or even really mentioned what the charging brick looks like right? That seems like a really important thing to cover when annou

So Angular has gone from being written in plain JS, to Dart, to Atscript, and now Typescript? Why so much jumping around? Isn't that creating a lot of technical debt issues?

I know there's no single number to quantify this, but I really wonder what the signal to noise ratio on Twitter is. Sure, if you follow good accounts there are some gems from time to time, but it seems the vast majority of tweets are j

I wish that Stripe would just acquire a few of these really great ideas for extensions to their core platform so that these features were rolled into Stripe itself. Stripe makes it so easy to drop in some code and have secure payment pages
