well it's not like you are going to put condos on the Marin headlands.

I know this is going to sound stupid, but I wrote a pretty detailed business plan for this exact same idea. Glad that these guys decide to run with it. An interesting link from the past: http://37signals.com/better/motors/index

Deferreds are cool although they have their own set of issues. Mainly, that when you start chaining them there are situations where it can be a bit counterintuitive what is going on. My background is the Deferred from Twisted and Reimplem

Also, you can store keys in something like the IOS keychain (which I assume is fairly secure) and then further require a pin code or password when you open the app. Thinking off the top of my head: priv_key = AES_DECRYPT(PBKDF2(pincode,salt

I looked through the doc a bit but didn't see an answer. Can someone explain the key management strategy? Is there any key escrow? What happens if someone loses their computer / mobile device?

Don't you people have any hobbies? For me it is cycling. My bike is my most important possession along with the various tools, wheels, spare bikes, etc. I mean, I get the whole zen thing but life is too short to not have anything . If y

I am sure IE10 support will be better but MS is burdened by their decision to limit IE9+ to windows 7 and newer. I read through the MS article on their new automatic upgrade policy and it seems mostly focused on security (for good reason).

Awesome article. I feel like the most game changing part of chrome is that Google turned it into a web app, that is it is always up to date and you never have to install anything (compared to the mess that is IE 7-10). Everyone gets the n

Part of this discussion should be how a very large organization called the US Military solved this problem with smart cards. see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_Access_Card . Those of you how own Dell or HP Computers - you may notice

I think so. I do recall attempting to install the hyper-V on a server core installation. However, I think the problem was that the management tools required either windows server 2008 (which I didn't have) or Vista (which I didn't have).

I started out with the Monoprice thunderbolt to dual DVI adapter. The version I have is buggy and won't function properly when coming back from sleep mode. You need to reboot the adapter a couple of times by unplugged the USB cable. The e

I think the really operative phrase in this article is: "Once you have assembled the list of scriptlets you need – printed, laminated and guarded by a fire elemental as in days of old – you can make the 2012 stack of Microsoft software sing

Agreed, and what's annoying is that there isn't any middle ground in pricing. the XXX/customer/year model doesn't scale for people who don't make, well money. The family / soccer club / non profit isn't going to spend $250 for five email a

My father served on the Enterprise in the 60's as part of the around the world tour. At that time the island was completely different as well as the air wing complement. We have this giant photo in our house of the old square island and an

I'd sure like to know more about their methods and algorithms. What exactly "is" big data is glossed over so much that I can't tell if they are doing something unique here or simply applying a large degree of automation.

I should also note: if you want to go this approach you might have luck embedding the generate report image in a dataURL so the user doesn't have to turn on images to see the data. However, I don't know if that works in all browsers or web

Bottom line: if you need reports you should be thinking about phantomJS. There are other projects like wkhmltopdf but I think phantom is better and more flexible. Phantom sites on top of QTWebKit (and more specifically QTWebFrame/Page) so

"JavaScript has proven time and time again to not be a good language for anything but short scripts." Perhaps this is just troll bait... define short. Yeah, maybe javascript isn't good when building a large app with > 100K LOC that us

I was thinking of something fairly easy and specific. I happen to be married to a Dentist. When she is working she has her hands full and is already wearing protective eye wear. A cool use case is to display patient specific display on an

Was looking forward to an augmented reality demo. I thought the idea was that info was projected on the "glass". It would be cool to build a hack for a heads up display with some custom telemetry.

well at least we know that someone is incentivized :) congrats

by harshaw 15y ago
My point was more that the Dentist will treat the patient according to their standard of care. That could mean for example that they won't patch the current crappy work and instead treatment plan a correct solution. Keep in mind that I am

Looks cool - although my cynical assumption is that this product a) would work great in demos with a simple number of folders,etc and b) will be bitch to maintain given when Google changes the UI or generated code / structure. Having looked

yeah, I guess you could mount your source tree into windows and use RM in windows, but then all of the interesting features like rails integration wouldn't likely work - and I have no interest in running rails on windows since that isn't th

Yeah but I got to put stuff on my resume like experience with windows mobile 2002 and Symbian UIQ :) At Orange we toyed with pushing an Android precursor from Savaje. However, the timing wasn't right - hardware wasn't powerful enough and O

We use rubymine but I never have been comfortable using it as my #1 developer tool. Part of the problem may be that I am running it in a linux VM (albeit on a box with tons of memory). Rubymine seems very slow and uses a ton of memory (Ja

Great to see a reference to the WPI plan (my alma mater). I think one of the advantages of an engineering school is that you are all in the same boat with needing to get through the tough classes (and maybe are less distracted by business m
