Somewhat misleading title. You can iterate quickly in the App Store if you're not actually using the App Store to distribute changes.

I love conversation view, but I hate the fact that I have no way of manually "breaking" a conversation when Gmail guesses incorrectly, or more generally, when I want to logically group a set of messages together. A real example that I work

Sadly, a few issues: - Requires iOS 4.1. For those of us who jailbreak, that's a showstopper (for now). - No iPad support. See above. :) - Requires an additional license on the ASA side. So, the "free" on the app listing is a bit misleading

This is a pretty thin "article". His arguments seem to boil down to: - Code quality: patio11 says the code is awful - Architecture: the author had a "vision" of what it would be, didn't match his expectations - Bikesheds: the author thinks

Harris' blog is entertaining to read, in my mind, because he's one of the few folks writing about this stuff that doesn't have a book and/or methodology he's trying to sell you. His "getting started" page is a refreshingly pragmatic list of

Number three is one of those odd things I noticed while "doing Atkins" (ie. significantly-reduced carbohydrate intake, increased fat and protein). It's really an astoundingly obvious change, too; after a day or two, your teeth feel like a c

Personally, I think it would be a shame. You're only on the hook if you want to modify their reference implementation, and aren't interested in sharing your changes with the community. Write your own implementation under whatever license yo

That's exactly what I had to do: a local install of Ruby and rubygems, installed bundler, and let bundler take care of the rest (and let me know what -devel packages I didn't have installed ;-). This will likely be a much less painful proce

After they yanked the previous 64-bit player beta for Linux, I'm a little gun-shy now; I'm treating anything they release as "beta" as something they reserve the right to yank out from under me at a moment's notice now. I'm actually hoping

Yes; as far as the U.S. is concerned, you're a citizen, with the same rights and responsibilities as any other. If there's a draft, you'll be called upon. If that were to happen, there would definitely be an upside to renunciation. ;-)

Agreed here; I've seen that a lot with in-house stuff. At my wife's former employer, almost all of the internally-developed stuff that she supported was a mashup of VB, Access, PowerShell, and third-party tools that they glued together.
