You misread. They make a mobile app that streams stuff from their cloud. Therefore, to calculate actual delays in their app, they must add network response times and touch latency.

This is only semi-on-topic, but it's really cool how Ghost is a non-profit organization: http://ghost.onolan.org/what-it-means-to-be-non-profit and the post does a good job explaining what that means and why it was cho

Makes sense, but I've never ever used such a network and so would gladly turn off this feature. :( It looks like the iPhone is (or was, as of 2012) uniquely bad because it leaks recently used MAC addresses, while it's common for d

Heard that saying before, but didn't know it was from Stroustrup! That definitely adds to the hilarity. In that case, let's hope Haskell and Rust move ever more solidly from the second group over to the first :) Always gonna be st

Rust[1] is aimed squarely at this use case. The GC and runtime are optional. A toy kernel[2] and Linux kernel module[3] have already been written in it. The language is young and still unstable, but it's being designed by veteran C++ p

Take a look at the Ember examples at http://emberjs.com/ . They're doing a lot more with a lot less code. Backbone had its day, but the world is moving on, and a new project that only offers Backbone-equivalent function

I've had this debate with a friend who's a big proponent of EmberJS (and to a lesser degree Angular). My friend feels that without one of these libraries you will simply be writing way too much unnecessary boilerplate code for a s

I wanted to say that YouTube was acquired early in its history and would probably be worth much more today, but after looking into it, the data doesn't necessarily back that up. In July 2006 a few months before YT's acquisition, Y

I gotta respect the Tent.io crew. After trying their Twitter clone last year (made HN front page a couple times around July/Aug 2012), I was ready to write off the whole thing as a failure — didn't think they were building things

The whole point of Rendr is you don't have to write two code paths. That's why I linked to it.

It depends on the scale of the project. If what you want to do can be done with 200 or 300 lines of JavaScript using jQuery, then fine. Go for it! But I've seen codebases with over 10,000 lines of JavaScript, using only jQuery, and it

Though I can't speak from personal experience, I do get the impression that many past Lisps suffered from too much flexibility, in the sense that no one could agree what object system to use, what libraries to use, etc. It seems that C

The presence in Clojure of persistent vectors and hashmaps, which are very, very fast, and are used pervasively throughout the core libraries and Clojure code at large, makes it way more interesting to me than other Lisps I've seen. Do
