Docker's overreach seems to resemble the overreach of Joyent in the io.js world. It's really hard to regain trust and momentum once the community starts to question you; in economic terms this would be termed as "a spike in t

sargun, you should write up a blog post on how you ran this analysis. It would be awesome. Also, put some contact info in your bio!

Thanks, my bad. Just annoyed that anyone thinks this about cashing out, rather than actual problems at Twitter right now. I'm not hating; I hope Twitter figures itself out. We need a strong #2 in this space.

I'm sorry, but you can't blame a talented operations guy (among the most talented in our industry -- he led the Pixar IPO) for Twitter's failure to innovate and grow. Especially when you factor in the constant absence of the

On iOS, this is only true for applications that share the same keychain, which would imply they come from the same developer. This is actually a really great under-utilized feature that could be used to create a suite of apps with differen

Very, very few apps are used in a multi-device context. If/when you hit that scenario, you're already dealing with significantly more complex situations that would require you to implement some sort of identifying mechanism, whic

You're an idiot if you implement this. On iOS, use the device token and implement truly anonymous login without having to deal with anyone else brokering your users' data; I'm not sure what the Android equivalent is, but it

There's the (relatively) micro-scale issue of individual apps being rejected, and the macro-scale issue of Apple utilizing open source projects and putting their methods in their list of private, disallowed method names. This seems li

This is a real nuisance, but the author seems to be going about it in the wrong way (which is confusing, because the author is a super-long-time NeXT/Obj-C developer who probably has contacts at Apple to help resolve the issue). I&#x2

Well, you can set the timer to 99 hours, 59 minutes, 59 seconds if you type in the values, so it doesn't seem to make sense that 23:59:60 would break it. I'm really curious as to why that happens.

by numair 13y ago
If you want to break it, search for "timer for 23 hours 59 minutes 60 seconds" ... For some reason the code seems to be configured to max out at 24 hours. I am too busy dealing with my own broken JavaScript code to take a look, b
