This is a good example of a good inbound marketing type blog post: short, clear, genuinely useful for some, with a clickable title (numbered lists are low risk of taking up too much time) and with a clear link back to what you're tryin

Closest thing I can find is an app called Moves: https://apps.moves-app.com/ Logs location in the background as a pedometer, and other apps can access this data (with permission!) to do other things.

It doesn't need to a privacy invasion. If the user could permit an app to use their location data and revoke it at any time, similar to how we permit access to facebook/twitter timelines, they would personally weigh up the risk&#x

There are two good reasons why 1. It's very difficult to tell what's a good idea or not. 'Not Invented Here' syndrome is one reason why we think other people's ideas generally suck, but in the end it's almost a

An iPad makes much more sense for the very young and very old with their accessibility requirements. The iPad is lucky in that it could start afresh with many ideas. - They keyboard represents letters of the alphabet, and it only appears wh

Excellent post, thanks for writing it. The viewpoint of a French developer probably resonates with anyone from Europe. > You’ll see an immense amazing positive atmosphere everywhere, people working day time for a normal job and coding

I was thinking of an exception but it turns out it was instead a poster they put on the outside of the Yerba Buena Center [ http://www.macrumors.com/2012/09/09/yerba-buena-stretched-ic... ] - the background was a load of stretched iPhone ap

I'm not familiar with the precise aims of FWD.us but if it's coming across as to the public as wanting to ease the regulations so that they can "fire Americans" and "recruit cheaper software engineers from abroad", I think they might have a

Looks great, keep going with it. As many people have pointed out - there's a lot of potential problems and legislation that could get in the way. What constantly impresses me is that people can push right through and solve these seemingly i

Can anyone see a way to make the 1TB serve as the main storage space of all your photos? (and not just publicly displaying them). I'm tied into iPhoto on a very full SSD and am longing for a way out.

I think it's all to do with perceived norms. Facebook isn't really designed to be a place for meeting people you don't fully trust - there's too much risk as you're giving them all the information you've ever shared (on facebook) ever and p

I do like how this article from yahoo finance has this heading and subheading: Yahoo! to Acquire Tumblr Promises not to screw it up Fair enough. That probably is most people's biggest concern and expectation of what Yahoo will do.

If wanting to fit with stereotypes i think "US: L, FR: S" was meant to be the other way round. MPG may not be a great measure but people generally have an easier time understanding 'bigger is better' so i think it works better than GPM.

However, to get on to the front page all that is required is that your 'hotness' score (approximately votes/time) is better than most of the competing stories. More time on 'newest' -> fewer stories posted. The 'hotness' requirement is

I do love the tagline "_Finally, a command line shell for the 90s_". I was happy enough sticking to bash as it's the default shell everywhere, but since someone switched me to Zsh (using oh-my-zsh) I probably rely on the features too much t

Thanks! Basically the answer is that I wasn't aware of the possibility of those things and have tried to keep it as simple as possible. I made a skeleton project for me as I couldn't find a decent guide for deploying django static's on s3.
