People who defend single-tasking do so because multitasking can cause problems w/r/t memory, performance, and battery life. If Apple releases a solution that doesn't suffer from those issues, there's absolutely nothing wrong with "extolling

Yep. He had to smash it in half first to make it fit in the blender.

Yes. I run a Python server, so there's conflict between "long_name" and "longName", and even "long-name" (which I think is semantically superior). I'm curious to hear how other people have approached encoding multi-word values in JSON and X

Is there a throttling component to this? I seem to recall that some people used to encounter problems when trying to use a script to access GMail (for backups). I don't see any API limits offhand.

YUI 3 has a very cool module system. I'm really looking forward to when jQuery provides $.require() so that it can do something similar.

Also, would be interested to hear if/how you prepared for the traffic level, and whether or not those preparations worked. (i.e. Did Lifehacker users visit more than just your homepage? How much did you cache?, etc)

Wireless has been a problem for me too. Edit: No, I'm not trolling. Try getting a Marvell 8335 to work. I couldn't.

Your app looks very cool. I'd buy it. One minor thing that you've probably already noticed: Make sure that the draggable edge of the apps are big enough to move with a finger (as opposed to the mouse in the simulator). I'd put it out right

A possible fix for ambiguous dates: When you detect an ambiguous date, prompt the user for the one they intended before allowing them to continue filling out the form.

In his defense, his posts are known for brevity. That's why he calls them "fragments". Some are just a couple sentences long. That doesn't negate that there may be very little content in the post, but it's consistent with what he has stated

That depends on whether or not you're able to comprehend the line of lisp as quickly as the 20 lines of C. Conciseness doesn't equal clarity.

Use flash cookies. Set them to recreate themselves to sync when the user clears their browser cookies. That has proven tremendously effective for me. Flash cookies get a bad rap -- but they're a very effective way to keep people out.

Good summary, though reading the actual book may make it easier to internalize those principles. I figure that's similar to the 10,000-hour rule for becoming an expert in a field: the more time you spend internalizing something, the more li
