This is true; and within Apple's success. I guess I see them having an incredible ability to meld things into their own. A strategic and public investment, like Twitter, feels unlike them. Twitter seems to be the news, not Apple. The Authen

Also, Apple has a track record of paving their own path the last 10 years. If this were true, Apple doesn't feel like Apple anymore. It would feel like the future is in someone else rather than theirs. This would be the end of Apple as a cu

I haven't either. As I'm going through the deck, I'm studying each slide and note. It's loaded. ACID, simplicity, culture, documentation, TDD, prioritization. And more I overlooked I'm sure. Each has nuggets of wisdom. This is Good.

I first saw the news on CNN and groaned at the headline. http://cl.ly/0S0Q1D1D2c1y1I42393B Yet, it seems to be fact. I believe Zuck believes Facebook is the vehicle for these announcements and interactions, ergo his play. The announcement

I flew for the first time last weekend since the TSA implemented the pat-downs. I went through the backscatter while the TSA scanned my bags, one being a stylus with a substantial aluminum shaft. I was paranoid it would be deemed a weapon.

Pagination is useful when a user needs to understand time and space for a given context. Infinite scroll is useful when the time and space is now for the context. As noted by both parents, implementations for both could be better.

I like to think in these scenarios, you write your tests for your code as: given input foo, my code calls library bar and expects a return of baz You don't need to test the APIs or the libraries. You can mock the return and stub the

In other words, to get to the classroom, an official PG-13 is easier than an official R-rated and quasi-unrated path. This is not a technology problem. It's cultural. MPAA and consumers included.

It mirrors my experience as well. For about 6 months, management wanted us to time against user story. At the time, we used scale from 1 to 5. The concern was estimates weren't linear and for planning, a 5 one point story did not equal 1 fi

My comment was glib. I agree with how SOPA and PIPA removes due process -- one I assume was followed over the course of 2 years. Investigation if a crime was committed, by whom, arrest offenders and confiscate goods. Whether or not megauplo
