Honestly, those compelling new features need to come soon. I've only caught maybe 50% of the catalog, and it's already getting really grindy. It's a LOT harder to pull users back onto the platform once they've left than

Yeah, I agree. I strongly suspect that the scope of permissions requests was an oversight (e.g. Just ask for everything now, we'll pair it down once we know what data we need). Additionally, while I don't like the idea of having N

You can set up build servers for your app on Microsoft Azure, or AWS' Windows Server instances. Microsoft produces articles on how to do Windows development on a Mac (Bootcamp, Parallels, etc.) [1]. Microsoft has shown commitment to br

1. As others have said, don't treat the tools provided by your clients as "organizational tools", treat the communication via those tools as a part of the deliverable they are paying for. If they have a convoluted system, ens

Out of curiosity, what is the current state of Unity games running on OSX/Linux environments? I recall that you could compile with Mono for cross-platform support, but I'm curious if the recent cross-platform support of much of th

I think you two are saying the same things. The examples he provided are the problems that have already been solved, so you don't need teams of people to figure them out. Instead, you just need two pros who are excellent in specific ar

It looks like the backend is "dumb", and doesn't handle persistence (as it's not really needed), so using node allows the OP to simply store session state for clients on the stack as a global variable, so the server is c

I'm currently on an H-1B in California working at a startup. In my spare time, I work on side projects that might provide value to somebody somewhere, but have an operating cost that I would have to cover if I wanted to offer the proj

I think that's what you need to keep in mind. The "some" that are unhappy are such a small fraction of the Facebook/Twitter userbase that it's a clear net win to make these changes. I can guarantee the changes wer

I disagree. You're painting modern computing as either hard number crunching or the most basic of browsing. Modern phones can barely handle WebGL, are abysmal at multitasking, and definitely aren't able to handle editing source

Please don't make blanket statements that discredit the work of an entire engineering team that you have little insight into. I'm sure there are strong engineers at Dropbox, the same as there are anywhere else. Statements like t

First, this is an extremely naive view as to what goes into training an astronaut to be sent into space. It's not like we just plucked four random people from the globe and are sending them to space. These are people who are very like

This statement is so naive that it blows me away. As toomuchtodo said, there's a huge difference between n car accidents per year, and the equivalent damage done by a terrorist attack, and the answer isn't just "stop making

It was formerly known as Microryza, but changed name about 2 years ago to better reflect the broader scope of their goal. My former roommate used to work for them, very cool project.

Square operates entirely over WiFi (or cellular networks) and has done so for years, so this is a completely invalid argument.

You're also a self-admitted tall user with long fingers, and the device is pretty much at the size limit of what you would find usable. That means that for the average person, it's definitely too big, and surpassed the size of wh

Additionally, the energy required (relevant to total mass) to generate lift is a lot smaller at this scale thanks to the Square-cube law[0], and it's a lot more efficient to flap a wing on an as-needed basis than to run a rotor at a co

Why would the editor enforce those rules? Does Microsoft Word enforce those rules? Pages? Google Docs? This is a library that brings WYSIWYG editing to the web in a fairly clean way, and it shouldn't enforce any specific rules. If y

While this sounds good on the surface, what do you think his 6 employees are going to do when one founder quits and the other immediately drops to working part time? They're going to leave for better pastures, and OP won't have th

It's a lot easier to curtail things like this on the internet. It would be dirt easy to set it up to only allow certain content (let's call it "constructive" content, like Wikipedia, various news sources, etc.), while b

While I appreciate the sentiment you're going for, it should be notes that you have no authority to give medical advice, and OP should not go off his prescriptions based on your comment. What you should have said (and what OP should do

It's not crazy to assume that "ham" from "ham radio" would be an acronym for something. You're being needlessly confrontational because of a misunderstanding on the internet.

People often don't understand that for an action on the web (clicking a link) the user feedback and end result don't need to be the same thing. You can update the UI in a meaningful way while you wait for the end-result to come b

Whichever side of the Pao debate you fall on, you have to admit that the CEO of a site that is of the size, scale, and simplicity of Reddit should understand the core functionality of the site.

I feel like it was a situation where the few are in power because the huddled masses don't know that they can actually revolt. The admins have been neglecting tools and moderators for quite a while, and you can see a trend over the la

Is there any idea of what kind of performance a game framework like this gets on various platforms? I've been curious about PyGame for a long time, but it always felt like it wasn't capable enough for even a moderate indie game.

I agree that IRC would have been a good fit, and with modern IRC clients like LimeChat and Slate, it's not the "legacy" experience a lot of people remember. IRC also would solve all of the problems this guy faced: * Free. Y
