   I like it. It reminds me of a concept [1] I saw presented at Fluent Conf this year, called Sunset Tests. The idea is that when you write code which shouldn't be a permanent addition to the code base (for example, a poly fill for IE 7,

   It's $10. That's around what you pay for a text editor on iOS. This one has some very cool, different features. Apple's been working on Xcode for years, give this one some time to catch up. IB: I doubt re-implementing Interfa

   We had a former Google Maps PM give a talk about building APIs, and he addressed scraping. Something he pointed out is that the traffic pattern from scrapers differs from regular users. Regular users make requests for the same things often.

   Same problem here. Scrolling a little caused it to stop flickering so quickly, and portrait mode finally got it to stop misbehaving completely for me.

   Isn't user agent detection a form of DPI? They're looking inside the packets being sent, instead of simply using the level 2 and 3 information to determine where and how to route the packets.

   I'm simplifying it (probably too much), but those lessons seem to be some of the things our PM brings to the team. Was this team all engineers/QA?

   This seems like just an extension of Netflix's desire to be on every device hooked up to a TV. They've been building apps for TVs, BluRay, Roku, AppleTV, etc for years. The cable box is another device, so they want to be on it. I

    I received that msg too. I don't know if you saw the tiny close box in the top right, but it dismissed the message and I was able to read the article.

    I really enjoy using Pow for non-Ruby apps too. It handles the .dev DNS resolution, and also supports hosting domains that you map through /etc/hosts (ex: foo.company.com if you need to share cookies with a SSO server, but don&#x2

    I'm coming from a large company mindset, but I disagree. We're working on projects that are too big for a single person, no matter how brilliant. Working well as a team is how we ship features. Being predictable in our output is i

    I'm probably misunderstanding you, but your example seems like the whole reason Rockstar programmers can be harmful to a team. I agree completely about laziness and looking to the future, however. * It sounds like the upfront cost is h

    Does that jive with their stated plan to do software only? Does the FitBit hardware have an open API that Nike could integrate with? Or are they stepping back and waiting for Google, Samsung, Apple, etc, to make a successful hardware device

    I'm surprised by this. To me, it makes a lot of sense that Nike, as a fitness company, produces a wearable device for exercising. It must be a failure of my imagination, but I don't see a smart watch (in the next couple years) bei

    Honestly, just start tossing it. It was much easier than I expected. Make an extra dough ball, so if you drop it dinner isn't ruined.

    I think it's worth pointing out the article writer recognizes this is a distraction. In the comic, nerd sniping causes people to forget they're crossing the street and they wind up being hit by a car, which is a pretty serious dis

    I wonder if they'd care. Sounds like they don't particularly care about the licenses on the open source code they use, and I doubt you'd find out that they're violating your license.

    I saw a similar issue with a company that sold tickets to events several years ago. They sent me an email with a link to my e-ticket. The URL had a sequential id, and there was no auth/verification that I was the one who purchased it.

    I wonder what it would take to compile a directory of companies and the way each one classifies each piece of their users' data. For example, at the company I work for, we have a master list, with several levels. Things like password a

    For content discovery, I use Fanhatten to find the best service to watch a specific title. That's rare, I'm more often content with Netflix's catalog. Amazon streaming doesn't send HD content to my Mac Mini connected to

    I wonder how that squares with tech companies providing shuttle buses in the Bay Area. I found a reasonable looking comparison that said bus travel is more dangerous than flying. My guess is the company has more control over the bus, or the

    That's interesting. I don't have much experience with it, but when I've seen similar stuff it looked like an anti-pattern to me. Why should developers need to learn your specific wrapper on top of a popular 3rd party componen

    I think it'd be impossible to know which tests haven't failed. What if they failed on a developer machine because he introduced a regression, but it was fixed prior to checkin? Your CI build thinks the test hasn't failed, but
