This would be really cool as a GitBook[1]. That way people could download a clean pdf, mobi, or ePub file while still maintaining open contribution. [1] - https://www.gitbook.com

You have access to all of Haskell. I built a command line utility that downloads GitHub status from different cryptocurrency repos and ranks how productive each tokens development team is. It's similar CryptoMiso[1] but I have my own

What operating system are you running on? I paid for and downloaded Haskell For Mac[1] and it's been a great dev experience so far. The IDE is similar to Xcode (I'm an iOS developer) and the REPL is great for trying stuff out. [1

Watch apps were definitely an interesting release. The first version of the Watch was extremely underpowered with a very limited SDK. I also think that Apple was trying to figure out what the Watch was for until version 3. Now it'

I don't know, but I hope so. I worked at Amazon when the Alexa was released and one of the things people love about Alexa are the custom skills. I've heard that the store is a bit of a mess, but they have some cool integrations.

I completely forgot about this product over the past week until just now. I would have loved to order one, but since there is no development ecosystem, I don't see myself buying this at the moment.

Honestly, I don't know — but I'm sure there is some history or context to their actions. I'm actually mixed — Dad is caucasian/Austrian and mom is African/Sierra Leonian. I grew up in a mixed race household and li

If these companies were profitable from the beginning, some sort of profit sharing mechanism could compensate for providing a financial reward. The challenge is that these businesses are setup to lose money until they get to some "sca

I just watched a video on how this number is derived and now my head hurts.

Heh, were you around for the Secret days? So much "news" came from that app.

Yeah that's a possibility. As I mentioned, I haven't really tried to interact with Googles customer service in the past few years so maybe/hopefully it's a lot better now than it was then.

I've had the opposite experience, but this was probably further back then you. I remember trying to call Google to get info about Google maps and it was just a run around. I spent 3 hours trying to figure out who controlled the map t

This project looks awesome. I just looked at the code and it looks like every line of code has a comment. It seems like a bit of overkill in Obj-C being such a verbose language. Aside from that, I'm definitely going to check this ou

You're understanding is 1/3 correct. XRP is only used for xRapid protocol. Ripple Labs has 3 protocols (xCurrent, xVia, and xRapid) and the other 2 do not use XRP. However, it does look like MoneyGram is using xRapid.

Ah you are correct! I couldn't' read the original article due to pay wall, but I found info on other site. Well this is great news for XRP hodlers.

by joeblau 9y ago
Totally agree! But the one caveat is that using Ripple does not mean using XRP.

You're welcome. Glad it's helping.

The history on this is that originally, templates like Web, Compressed, Audio, Video, etc... were added to ignore an entire domain's tele tapes instead of assuming that you're working on any of those types of projects. Right now,

That looks cool. Most of the time I was running into problems, I was on a remote server with no access to a GUI, but this does look like a cool integration.

Thumbs up on licensing. This is key to the success of a project in my opinion. If a project is missing a license, that's a clear sign that I can't use it. I've even filed issues on open source projects stating that I want

This is a great guide. I followed the similar steps for https://gitignore.io I was doing a lot of development work and going to github.com/github/gitignore to copy templates from GitHub's website to my own file s

Wow. Attach some Blockchain jargon to your product and get valuation pop. This is getting slightly ridiculous.

I had a friend that lived on Pine and Stockton in a rent controlled apartment. His rent was around $1400 a month for a 1 bedroom decent sized apartment (900 sq ft). He moved out and the landlord immediately made some upgrades to the apa

Yeah I totally agree. I think that if you couple PWA with all of the new Smart Contract Web 3 stuff that's coming, it looks like there is going to be a resurgence.

I agree with you, the vast majority of apps aren't really useful or would be just as good being websites. I've culled my iOS apps down to 1 page an a half. The home screen contains apps I use and the second page contains apps I

Every time I read stories like this, I feel like the value of iOS development is slowly dwindling. App development has been a race to the bottom for small teams/indie developers making it difficult to build a sustainable lifestyle bus

I've been extremely impressed with Apple's PR as of late. It's almost unbelievable how many systems these vulnerabilities affect.
