I say "promptly at X" when something is going to start at X, and I start it at X and finish it at X + appropriate time, prioritizing stuff I want more than them. I don't say this for everything, but for many things.

Apple developer relations doesn't go round to windows phone developer groups trying to convince people to port apps to their platform. Microsoft DOES go around to iOS devs.

I have been at 9 events where Microsoft developer relations people have done WinPhone demos to iOS devs. Events with >50 people, all iOS devs of some sort.

It is nontrivial to make data so anonymous NO ONE can deanonymize it. It's considerably easier to make data anonymous in a way that people acting in good faith to not try to deanonymize it won't realize who is who

Ahh, I actually hadn't realized Android was largely using two versions instead of putting the double radio chips in that handle both.

Microsoft doesn't think like that. They still make it damn impossible to run the windows phone simulator on Mac (even with a virtual machine, can't run the game part), so no iOS devs bother with the platform.

You want to keep taxi's allowed to use the lanes because then taxis are as fast as renting a car, or owning a car, so you you do not do the above behaviors. If getting to the airport took 2x as long in a taxi, few would use that.

It makes testing software damn hard. You can't justify testing 25 configurations of Linux. There just aren't enough dollars there to justify it. Chromebook and android each present relatively fewer targets to shoot at.

IMO, X-windows is the culprit. The lack of a real winner takes all windowing solution on Linux means everyone has their different flavor of desktop, all of which are slightly different everywhere. And not like Android different, far worse a

Why is this being downvoted? This is true. Talk to people about it, you CAN transfer an app from one account to another. This is why the kindle app is now on amazon's account instead of the company that wrote it. I am an iOS developer and h

By "casually nude" I mean a person walking to the shower, getting dressed, changing, walking around in their underwear for some random reason etc. The fact the device goes straight to their servers means those pictures are out of my strict

I don't think it's a professionally smart decision for most Americans to put naked pictures of themselves on internet sites. I include my wife and myself in that.

I know wearing it "all the time" is out of the question for cases of catching things like casual nudity or source code that's NDAed due to this feature. Hopefully that conflict makes them make "software in the middle" to allow you to edit b

Which is exactly the same situation for android. And android is a far smaller area so tricks like just using the center third in both directions for large screens doesn't work.

You mean "They won't publicly say they dislike something their company likes" That's true, for some of them. Others I can still see them saying "patents are more trouble than they're worth because they're outspoken types.

While this is true, owning and testing all the android devices is a lot harder than having a system with many web browsers on it. Also asking customers to upgrade is usually downloading new software for websites, but is buying new hardware

I think it's probably okay to go over on the percentages for awhile to try to correct this. You can't get women in at the bottom if their perception is this is for men only. That said, I think more in the top of the funnel is probably the m

I have worked in defense. Getting a patent was like "Oooh, that's cool". Finding out if there were patents in the way to do anything was weeks of supporting legal's searches. I'm sure someone, somewhere, at some level, likes patents. I don'
