Yes, we are animals. That much is obvious. Yes, we are predictable animals. What is the point of it all? I think those that have found the courage to break free of the shackles of these "games" have found it. I hope to be among th

Really? As a consumer, I hate that approach with a passion. I see how it makes sense from a business-perspective, but I think people are "onto it" at this point. Instant film is inherently kind of expensive in either case, isn&#x

Yup. I find it strange that this comment is at the very bottom currently. Anyways, I've been a freelancer right after a somewhat prestigious CS school, and I've never needed to show my degree. That being said, I did learn some con

Not to mention that despite being "exciting", most people would probably prefer they didn't happen, as when they do occur, they can be fatal. I'm talking mostly about F1 here, as that is how I personally feel. I mean, wh

Love the use of literate programming here. It's a great fit for teaching tough concepts

It's not that proprietary. FFMpeg supports creating these streams – I once created an encoding pipeline using HLS for a gig. The idea behind the tech is pretty good. But yeah, browser support is very poor – I had to use a Flash fallbac

Could you provide some high-profile examples where the SaaS implementation is much more performant than the OSS variant? Genuinely curious... I figured the SaaS vendors (mostly) use OSS under-the-hood anyways, and then they have to take the

Was popular with my circle of friends in Canada as well back in the day. Still remember my number! They also had a cool feature where you could create a "group", and you could broadcast messages to that group, etc.

I like NSOperation. Basically because I find it nice to encapsulate tasks that are to run in another thread in their own class. Not always, of course, but if they are "long enough", I think they should stand on their own.

What gets upvoted. That's kind of the whole point of a site like this. The content is submitted and selected by the users.

Thanks, that was a really interesting read. However, like my sibling states, consumer markets are subject to the whims of marketing, which may distort this somewhat.

Oh really. That, I wasn't aware of. Well, at least they saw the cash cow that the App Store could become at some point, and acted. It's good to change your mind when new information comes to light.

Not everybody hates skeumorphism, especially when not taken to an extreme (okay, Apple under Jobs often did take it to an extreme... like the leather Calendar app). But skeumorphism, when used properly, provides affordances and hints to the

That's not quite true – Apple has added quite a few improvements to ObjC over the past few years. Not sure if this has slowed down since the introduction of Swift, but I presume they will still keep coming for now, since (as this artic

A great reminder that it’s really the connectivity between people that the internet brings that is valuable… “apps” etc. are just a convenient bonus for us in the first world, who take the connectivity for granted at this point.

He's probably been watching a bit too much of The Wire.

Meh, there are only so many words. The two things are in quite different segments, so it should be fine.

Really? I don't think you can draw a broad conclusion on just your group of friends. Also, the nice thing about the automat is that you _do_ customize your meal by composing it from the individual pieces. I wish I could visit one these

Collins was already in the band (IIRC he may even have been a founding member). The difference is he wasn't yet the frontman – he was the drummer. Pre-Collins-fronted Genesis is way better though, IMO (I do like me some progressive roc

Yes, but you can do a lot more with SourceTree than with Github app (last time I tried GH, anyway). SourceTree allows you to do some pretty involved things, and because of that, it has to be a bit "closer to the metal". It's

Oh for sure – instrumental-only for me. Lyrics are too distracting. I like ambient, downbeat, chillout-type stuff. Groove Salad on SomaFM is great: http://somafm.com

That's a really nice detail. I guess it's like the old "progressive" JPEGs from the dialup days, but the lowest level of them (1 pixel).

I'm a fan of this approach – another good example (although a bit more subtle that Facebook) is Trello.

Heh, I was actually looking for those very words. While similar in style, this lacked them, which I found unsatisfying. Maybe people are more careful now to stay away from some specific keywords...

Too bad it's the same source file every time. Would be neat if it pulled random source files from the linux kernel, for example.
