Agree. If all the arrows could be presented in a way so that they at least wouldn't overlap, the sheet would be printable.

A while ago there was a comment here on hackernews which mentioned a designer talking about how much better git maps with a designer's workflow. ( http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2268004 ) The basic gist was that designers like to keep

This, and it's also a great book to give to junior hires or interns. Most of the stuff mentioned in the book should be covered in schools, but usually isn't.

How much more do you feel like you'd make by having web-sync ? It sounds like a large project compared to just steadily polishing the app itself and starting a second app on the side, or even as your new main project. An added benefit in st

Interesting to hear. I think some of the difficulties I've had in these type of projects stems from the customer not knowing where they want things to go / not having thought things through. In this situation they seem eager to bounce ideas

Are there any successful business built by using a freelancer ? Or a devshop for that matter ? Genuinely curious here. To narrow it down a bit, let's talk businesses who primarily operate on the web or through a mobile app. It just seems th

In the programming category, I'd definitely have to say the pragmatic programmer. Written in a way that makes it very easy to understand, especially for relative newbies, it's not technology bound, encourages good practices and fosters curi

That is a good reason. It's also possible to turn off the autoupdates. It's debatable what the best default setting would be, and wether or not average users: a) know how to disable this b) care to disable it Like you say, it necessitates a

I love the silent updates. You raise a valid point about not knowing exactly what is being installed, but the flip side of the coin is that security fixes and new feature support get adopted much faster. It's nice knowing that mom's laptop

I think you're exactly right. I had the same reaction the first time I read about them, then I saw their product again recently and there was no doubt anymore that this is going to be the future of gaming. True, they may not be there yet, b

If that was the case, they could require Amazon to use their inapp purchasing platform without taking a 30% cut. It seems pretty clear to me that 30% of all Amazon's iOS business would be a nice addition to anyone's bottom line, and Apple f

Nice job. A small nitpick maybe, but the sound level of the intro and outro is very disproportionate to the rest of the screencast's sound. Quite unpleasant when wearing headphones. That said, I'm looking forward to the next one, subscribed

Should be possible via update-manager soon enough. Even major upgrades (6.04 -> 7.04 etc) have been possible for a year or two at least.

I wonder what someone's legal recourse is in a situation like this. I mean what gives Paypal the right to claim 'suspicious activity, your money is ours' without having to provide some kind of evidence. And IF something is a legitimate case
