Open Source applications in iOS are nice for developers to help them build better applications, but given iOS is such a closed locked system, it is meaningless for users. A part of the open source idea is that users can know and have some c

Do they know they are considered mediocre? I think I might change my career if I ended up like that.

by leokun 13y ago
I have never heard of a place where "mediocre devs" get siloed off as a normal way of operating a business. If you have under-performing engineers you should change your hiring and think about mentoring or exits for those you have

The json it loads is 4MB and takes about 2 minutes for me. The graph is kind of hard to make out with everything selected.

Apparently I'm wrong! Too late to edit. Good to know though, not afraid of saying something and getting downvotes if I'll learn something. :)

Unless you want to use it with multiple users and connections, in which case it stops working. It's good for embedding data storage in clients and testing. http://howfuckedismydatabase.com/sqlite/

Wants to load the real player plugin. I don't it's a good idea to enable or install it. I don't see any other scripts. Doesn't load anything else suspicious unless the images are somehow compromised.

And it's not just that. The Kindle competes with the Nook and Surface RT.

I know it is silly, but its weird to see this post in the light of Bezos as owner of this publication. He is not exactly neutral on this topic. AWS competes with Azure.

I do not object to anonymity for TCP clients in general. I've setup squid on AWS proxies when I've wanted anonymity, like in open wifi areas. People can set up VPNs or sign up to those services if they want to protect their networ

It's a utility I don't have a need for. Sensitive information I don't want to disclose is hidden with SSL encryption. Maybe you have need for tor, I don't.

I don't have a need for tor. I am not a political activist, I'm not a journalist. I'm not convinced that supporting tor is also not supporting criminal activity, such as child pornography and money laundering. I don't wa

I hope this doesn't happen. I would uninstall Firefox, and not even test development for our application in Firefox. Maybe I could test some other gecko-based browser, like SeaMonkey, but I don't want anything tor related on my co

I did read it, the provided jQuery did not work with jQuery Mobile, but it does work with Firefox OS.

by leokun 13y ago
Can you use jQuery with Firefox OS, yes or no?. The answer is yes. The Firefox OS devs even provided the author with a version of jQuery that works as-is. Thus the title is misleading. Maybe it should say it is not compatible with jQuery Mo

by leokun 13y ago
No, that's still not right, because it wasn't for using jQuery. It was for using versions of jQuery that did unsafe things. You can use versions of builds of jQuery that does eval JavaScript and not get rejected.

by leokun 13y ago
The OP title is accurate, that's the title of the post linked to, but it is still misleading since the app was not rejected for using jQuery, you can use jQuery to build Firefox OS apps, you just have to build it a certain way.

This is the kind of bullshit advice you get from (non-pg) mentors at YC and places like 500-startups. Such advice has a few traits: * It's too general to be of any use to you. * It's too specific to be of any use to you. * It&#x27

You shouldn't be looking for bargains for your developer hardware. You should pay for what you want, not just for what you need. You spend a lot of time using this for your daily tasks, and it's worth it.

You read angry and hateful comments for fun or to make you feel good about yourself because at least you're not that bad?

I go to Burger King on market and 10th and get a $3 burger. You could spend $10 at Super-Duper or whatever, or you could go a block down to McDondald's at the Montgomery station exit and buy something from their dollar menu.

That's probably the right attitude to take in hiring. Bad code is difficult and expensive to discover and fix and a bad hire is difficult and expensive to let go.
