It's called '2x' resolution because it's twice as many pixels per dimension, and because you append "@2x" to image resources for them to be used in your app. It is 4x the pixels, but that I guess Apple figured that took slightly more brainp

The way I do it is call [self.navigationItem setHidesBackButton:YES animated:NO]; then create a new UIBarButtonItem using -initWithCustomView: (passing in a UIButton subclass I wrote to render a back button) and set the left-side button of

Well the Android browser still can't render animated GIFs. There's a joke in here somewhere.

Thanks! It was nice remembering the glory days.

Thanks! Yeah, it was all a charade :)

It's actually incredibly rare for a non-hacker co-founder (aka, a biz guy) to sell faster than the technology can keep up. I'd say this is normally a good scenario to be in as it continuously pushes you to build and build and build rather t

I started a site called 9rules.com, along with a few other folks, around 2005. It was an aggregator of content from a curated list of blogs that people submitted to us a few times per year. Every 6 months or so we'd hold a "membership round

Instead of money, let's just revisit this thread after the first Verizon iPhone sales weekend and see who was right :)

They'll sell millions the first weekend. There will be lines stretching around blocks. People have been waiting for the iPhone to come to Verizon for years. Don't think this won't be a huge event. Now, when a Verizon customer needs a new ph

Honest question: was WP ever rewritten to use a MVC architecture or is still a pile of "functions.php" includes? I haven't looked at the source in at least 2 years so I'm hoping it's not still using the same anti-patterns it originally used

I worked for myself for 4 years (did consulting work, co-founded a startup) but, due to various reasons, decided to find a full-time job. The job I found is fantastic and I still work there. I love it, I love the people, I love my work. I b

It's exactly what 37signals did. They scratched their own itch by building an app that they wanted to use. It then happened to make a ton of money and eclipsed their consulting revenues. They didn't start off to make all this money, but it

Or build apps that may become profitable enough to turn into a business. Don't set off to build a business for the sake of building a business, build something for the sake of building it and then see how it goes.

Me too. I had a Mac so the Mac punter/prog scene was really tiny. Most of them were written using OneClick, a scriptable palette-building app to make on-screen widgets that fired off macros. Ah, those were the days! FWIW my punters were nam

I don't know how this came about, but my elementary school had (the gifted kids) programming in LOGO in 2nd and 3rd grades. It was never explained as computer programming, more like a game to make a turtle draw cool things. I'd love to meet

And by "MacroMates" you mean the singular developer who works on it who has probably already made a small fortune from TextMate 1.x licenses and has said a few times that TextMate development is a "hobby". I don't think he's in any sort of

I've been working on a series of tutorial to teach designers how to code iOS apps and it's always exciting to see people doing something similar and being very successful.

The lighting is incorrect. The shadow makes it look like the post-it note is actually just a ring of paper. A real shadow wouldn't just magically turn white/transparent as it gets further in from the edge, especially since the part that loo

Has the Android UI been rewritten to use the GPU? One of the main reasons why scrolling/panning always feels smoother on the iPhone is that the user interface rendering uses the GPU whereas Android does not. If the Nexus S has a fantastic G

I'm upset that they won't let you put programming languages into the "Languages You Speak" box. There's gotta be at least one Facebook engineer lurking on this post. If so, how about a fix? :)

The title of the entry put me off to the overall premise, which, I think, even the author may have missed. Basically, the article should've been titled "It All Changes When The Startup Is Making A Lot Of Cash". Supposedly Groupon is making

It might be valuable to enumerate for which exact reasons you need this "biz guy" and really ask yourself if you can't do most of it yourself, at least at the beginning. I'm a designer/developer and I sold ads and did a lot of business deve

I also didn't see any purchase process for the Eiffel Tower picture he found on iStockPhoto. Finding random images on the Internet and copying them into a design is not how professionals build websites.

It's fun to watch something like this, but it looks like he copied & pasted a lot of elements from other websites into his design. Directly lifting UI elements & photos from other websites and dropping them into your site is a big n

Tweets come back ordered newest to oldest so there's nothing to order if you don't want to. And accessing since_id or max_id just to send it back to Twitter is exactly what I was referring to: no math to be done, just storing & accessin

by flyosity 16y ago
Agreed. And also, there's not a lot of manipulation/math to be done on these IDs once they come back to the client. They're only used again when an operation happens on a tweet (favoriting it, replying to it) and in that case you're just ta

At the end the author makes the conclusion that this "sexy change" was sub-optimal but the problem was a copywriting issue. A large red button that says Buy It? How could anyone not guess that wouldn't get clicked much. People don't want to
