Just yesterday I clicked on the "Forgot Password" link on the AutoTrader.com website. I was expecting a reset link in my email and instead they just emailed me my password in cleartext. This is a huge website! Not some small bu

I'm guessing you haven't read it then? I don't want the spoil the ending but your parent post makes sense.

I wish that Apple would still allow the force-touch trackpad feature on 3rd party keyboards. I've gotten so used to having it that it makes it difficult to consider using any other keyboard other than the stock one.

Swift is still really young. Now is the time for these breaking changes. As someone who has been working with Swift since its public release, I haven't found the "moving target" to be that disruptive to my development. Eve

The Stanford iOS course is useful in this regard. I remember when I was first starting out it really helped me see someone use all the little bits of Interface Builder. I remember rewinding frequently to re-watch him do something like ctr

I've been an iOS developer for a little over 4 years now. I think you should invest some time on learning Objective-C. If you are looking to join an existing company there is a very high probability that they will have existing app

You seem to be arguing that non-CS trained devs can learn these things when they come across them. I wouldn't disagree with that. I think what I see as the real concern is a case of "not knowing what you don't know." I

If it is on machines that the university controls, they can install a root certificate of their own and then MITM the encrypted web traffic. I've seen this a few times at large companies. All work provided machines will have the compa

I think memorization tests of the sort that ask what FunctionX you should use from LibraryY for a particular situation are terrible. I don't consider asking a developer about basic data structures and their properties as terrible. Thi

Most specialized fields have jargon. It is the common language between the practitioners of that field. At what point should a person be expected to know some basic ideas and the words associated with them for the field they work in?

I've actually already ported hundreds of test cases from Mark Pilgrim's feedparser.

What is another feed format you'd like to see supported? If you have some custom thing you could take a look goxpp[0] which is the XML Pull Parser I wrote to use in gofeed. [0] https://github.com/mmcdole/goxpp

What would be a use case for using one of these FPGAs rather than something like a Raspberry Pi with a traditional microcontroller? I'm genuinely interested. I've been really curious about FPGAs but I don't know what a good

I generally agree. For most things I find trying to do complicated tasks on my phone just an exercise in pain. However, I find browsing reddit on my phone a more pleasant experience than on a desktop computer. Swipe gesture to collapse co

Is there a physical button on the steering wheel to pause music playback? I often need to pause audiobooks or podcasts and I really miss it when I don't have a physical button to do this.

I was thinking this as well. The bash version which is included with OS X is really old[0]. They refuse to ship any software which is licensed under GPLv3. It makes me wonder if they will reverse on that stance? Homebrew also breaks with

I've been eagerly awaiting the release of this e2e plugin. However, I'm not holding my breath. Go take a look at GitHub repo[0]. The last commit was a merged pull request on Feb 24th and the commit before that was Jan 27th. [0]

Whenever I saw the auto-scaling mentioned I had assumed that they meant they were spinning up new server(s) running this process, all working from the same redis queue. But it seems that they are just launching more of the same process fro

The development on the end-to-end extension seems to be relatively slow if you look at the commit log. Does anyone with more inside information know what is going on with it? Does it have dedicated team members or is this just an internal

What things do you do in Vagrant that you couldn't do in your OSX shell? I'm just curious.

How is the build quality? I've had Dell laptops in the past given to me by my employer and the screen hinge has been a source of failure on two of them.

This was actually a really impressive set of demos. I hadn't really considered VR as just a virtual environment to do traditional computing tasks but it seems like it could have a lot of merit. Always having a relaxing place you can g

The iPad 2 was sold side-by-side the iPad 3, 4 and iPad Air in Apple's stores. The iPad Mini also is essentially an iPad 2 in a smaller form factor as well. So if you had gotten an iPad 2 on day 1, I feel like you would have had a rea
