First, congrats on the product as I don't want to come off as being a bowl of sour grapes when that's not the case. I totally dig the concept of immediate results for changes made. Like I said in my OP, I'm approaching this from the viewpoi

I can definitely appreciate the usefulness of realtime here, 'n having led teams in the past I'm all for using tools like Sass/less/blueprint/etc that expedite development time and empower the team. I guess it's the 'Publish' part of this t

I did read through the site, and though I did not download the tool and try it out yet, the site seems to be catering to an individual who is used to SSHing in to / FTPing up to a site and hitting refresh (I did this when I was first learni

I'd be happy to include an edw519-style bulleted list of why webputty is 'a bad thing', but I guess it depends upon who their target audience is for this product. If they're targeting someone who is used to ssh'ing into their account on the

OK, I guess I'll be the wet blanket that goes thud here, but I really don't see this being very useful. In fact, I see it encouraging bad practices. Maybe it's because I'm approaching this from the standpoint of a company that has more than

I've received mention spam in the past on Twitter, but last week it was used against me as a primitive DoS attack on my account (a DoS on my time). In a very short period of time after having tweeted something regarding the fallacy of vacci

Yeah, I assumed the same, just throwing in a lil' parenting humor :) My wife 'n I looked at cloth diapers as opposed to single use diapers, and any potential cost savings were completely offset for us by the additional time/work investment

I don't know about you but I prefer to buy fresh diapers for my toddler :) In all seriousness though, my wife often finds buying in bulk at kids r us to be as cost effective as diapers.com is (YRMV obviously).

Android does do this from any screen, you just have to press the home button and hold it down, which will bring up the 6 previously used apps.

I find the 3 and 4 fingered swipes, especially on the smaller screens of the iPhone/touch devices to be pretty inconsistent and not very natural from a hand gesture perspective. I'd also suggest that 'more gestures' isn't what the average c

What you consider ambiguous many users could consider extremely useful, and the beauty of having the soft key is that if you don't want to use it you don't have to. As for the 'level of destruction' that a back button would cause, it is up

There is a previous discussion about this from last night here http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2761427

That's exactly my point. It's a major fundamental difference between iOS and Android. The back button in Android can be contextual, while the back button in iOS only moves back between views in the same application. There are many times dur

I think the presence of a hard back button in Android is something that iOS is sorely missing. Whenever I switch from using my Droid X to my iPad I am constantly looking for the 'back' button, especially when installing an app from inside t

I think that honesty is a two-way street, especially in this scenario, and too many developers wind up holding a recruiter over a fire for what the developer perceives as a dishonest/snake oil salesman approach when they themselves are ofte

While I enjoy using MongoDB where appropriate, this example provided is somewhat of a straw man fallacy because it's missing the part of the transaction which decrements from the total number of each item available. Edit: To address the iss

The quote 'praise effort, not intelligence' isn't mine, though I probably should have used the word ability instead of intelligence. It's been born out of the numerous scientific studies done that continually show that by saying to a child

Yes, but it's the kind I can appreciate. Instead of a 'hey connect with facebook and then go through my signup process as well' he's using FBConnect as the authentication backend.

Watchlr looks to do the same and more. Gregory Schnese gave a really good presentation at the most recent NYTM event this past Tuesday. You can sign up at http://watchlr.com .

Along side the findings reaffirmed in this study, I think it's prudent to mention the impact that language can have on a child's confidence. Specifically, the work done by Carol Dweck [1] and her colleagues have shown just how influential l

Both of these are quite the anecdotal statements to say the least. Not really sure what you mean by "of its kind", but there are plenty of other companies in the email marketing space, and to the GP's point we really have no clue why their

TL;DR - this is no different from almost every other site that many of us already participate in that includes an aspect of uploading/sharing content and in no way does this imply ownwership.

To add to this...just because you have a monopoly does not make what you've done or what you do illegal.

It's what I spend all day using as well. The dev environments I've either implemented or been a part of (web centric envs) have all used local folders mounted to VMs that provide that painless and fast requirement you speak of while removin

The goal should be to keep environments as similar as possible, which vagrant helps to accomplish. Just because you can develop locally on your Mac before pushing to a QA/Dev/staging environment doesn't mean you should. Obviously your Dev e

If all you're doing is keeping a copy of objects in a memory store for quick retrieval you might want to implement a read-through caching pattern using Memcached (or Redis but I'd turn any persistence off). Most chat clients don't allow for

Thanks, that makes sense. Is it often that these conflicts arise during development on a team of 1-3 developers? I'm also assuming you're referring to the package contents of the .xproj file (specifically project.pbxproj), correct?

If you replace "especially when sorting by items in two directions" with "only when sorting by more than one item in different directions" above when talking about composite keys, then yes that's a factual statement of MySQL and something I
