There lies one of it's biggest flaws: poor discovery. I once sat down for a few hours and asked it tons of random questions and got a good feel for what it can and cannot answer/do. After that, it became a lot more useful to me. But most

Well, we do have some options here, but part of the reason why it was so easy to setup over there is lack of laws around the movement of money.

@jbri What would you offer as punishment in the example you just stated?

How very British - reduce everything to dramz! ;)

Sorry that wasn't very well worded. All I'm saying is that the apology is an inefficient punishment. It's meant to sting Apple which eventually means they lose money. All I'm saying is skip the drama and just take the money. The best argu

The lifeblood of a company is money, so yes. Phrasing it as "make-up money" implies it always has to be a slap on the wrist. It doesn't. It can be a devastating amount.

Well obviously the amount needs to be higher. Clearly the apology is not as simple as it might appear, hence this whole debacle. Apple is definitely the one making it more difficult, but I can't imagine other companies wouldn't do the sam

Not disagreeing that the judge should punish them for non-compliance, just arguing the initial punishment was inefficient (despite that fact that it might be satisfying).

Ok, well I'm in the states, so I'm in no position to assume what the UK public wants, but it seems little strange to prioritize payback over progress, which is my interpretation of what is happening here.

"harm" for a company is another way of saying money lost, so why not just fine Apple a ton of money and give it to Samsung?

by jarcoal 14y ago
What a mess this is on both sides. Apple has reacted poorly, but if I were British I would be a bit upset that my judges were wasting time on punishments like this. The point is to punish Apple, so just fine them and be over with it. The

Nice post, thanks for sharing. I often find myself gushing about Heroku as well.

I just released a small REST API framework for Django as well: https://github.com/jarcoal/django-sliver It's built entirely on CBVs, so if you're familiar with them, you will feel right at home. The API is not frozen, so it's not producti

As long as she listens to the employees that do, that's a step forward.

That's not really what he said at all. He made the assumption that these analysts didn't do their job well, and that he in fact knows more about Google's financials/operations than they do. The "programmer" remark jmduke made is just an ass

Maybe you've already seen this, but I found it helpful for customizing cells: https://github.com/vicpenap/PrettyKit

Tickets can still be opened by searching for something in the knowledge base, then scrolling to the bottom. Example: https://help.heroku.com/search/django+settings That said, it is still way too difficult to find.

That's pretty cool, I didn't know that, but it isn't going to be enough. Would you sign up for a site that needs your bank routing number simply based on a small dialog?

Apparently they are big in rental markets. Apartment managers love the low fees on reasonably large transfers.

This is a great feature, but before I start sending my clients to Stripe to create an account, they need to build a portal designed for that kind of user. "Payments for Developers" doesn't sound right to them.

Volume? Almost certainly. Profit? No chance.

by jarcoal 14y ago
They probably have, but that doesn't mean they don't have a lot of great contributions ahead. The last decade at Apple has been a once-in-a-century run; we might all die before seeing another company pull something like that off again.

It won't take 7 years to make another mapping solution. Google took that long because they had to blaze a lot of new trails that Apple can conveniently learn from.

This is such a silly comment. They will shovel truckloads of cash and labor at it, that's how it will get fixed.

by jarcoal 14y ago
Maybe they didn't get it before, but they're following your advice now by building for their users, not their convenience.

Take another look; it is supported now. It's quite different than html5.grooveshark.com was.

Yeah, but I want to be able to use my headphones or other accessories to control that.

Works decently well on my iPhone. Looks like the OS play/pause functionality is there, but not back/next track.

Strange, Github is blazing fast in my experience. Bitbucket on the other hand is insanely slow, especially in the source browser. That said, I gladly tolerate it due to unlimited free private repos and a decent feature set.
