Using the Chrome Dev Tools, you can record the network requests that occur using the Timeline tab. It's actually using GET to their server and something unknown to Amazon (that would most likely be server to server and not accessible o

According to one of the founders, "Login with Amazon" doesn't grant access to a user's Amazon account.[1] If they were using it, there would be no need to ask for users' passwords. 1: https://news.ycombin

When you sign up, your Amazon email and password are sent to server using GET and so are visible in the URL. While the request is done over HTTPS (and traffic snoopers can't see it), it is very likely that there are a ton of Amazon cre

I'm not sure how Google Play works but on the App Store developers specify whether your product is consumable or non-consumable and the products must be cleared for sale before users are given the option to buy them.

This looks a lot like Swift (or rather, Swift looks a lot like Kotlin).

Is there ever a time when you don't want a weak/unowned self in a block? Perhaps this should be made the default in Swift? (I understand that the Blocks spec requires all captured variables to be strong unless otherwise specified.

Apple has stated that Swift apps can target iOS 7/8 and Mavericks/Yosemite. You do need access to the dev program in order to get access to the Xcode 6 beta.

I pulled the data from Wolfram Alpha (I searched for "median home prices [and median household income] of top 25 metro areas in the US"; I couldn't figure out the correct syntax to get it to compute the numbers for me).

This doesn't take into account median salaries. It's possible that the median salary in SF is $200k and everything is OK (it isn't $200k though). While it doesn't really affect the results of this article, it's impo

How exactly did you do this? I want my name on Twitter but it's being squatted on by someone who has zero tweets, zero followers and following one person. I put in a request back in 2009 to free up the name and they told me the same th

Agreed. While the ideal solution to this problem might be server side, as the author suggestions, that is in no way a feasible solution. The card networks are in direct competition with each other, so there's no way you could get a sin

Thanks for the link to EvaporateJS. The recent price changes at Ink Filepicker make it untenable for our small needs and this looks like a great alternative.
