The user may be on a desktop, or a different device. We want to support such flows too. I agree in the "native app on same device" situation, we can bypass all this by bouncing straight to our app though.

The flow we (Mondo) are considering for this: 1. MyLittleApp opens web view to log into Mondo 2. User enters something to identify themselves into the web view (eg. email address, phone number) 3. We dispatch a notification to the user&#x27

Agree completely, this is a really well-written and informative article. Even more impressive is when you scroll to the bottom and notice this was written by a "17 year old student from Brighton who programs for a hobby."

The outbound dispatcher here seems like a prime candidate to write in a different language (Go for instance). Presumably it just makes HTTP requests so can be very simple -- building the request payload for instance could still happen in Py

I'm not sure that Google thinks of that as a problem. In fact, I'd argue a lot of the tech that many companies use nowadays exists because Google pioneered it.

IIRC, Facebook used to have this feature (ages ago), but it was removed. It used to ask where you knew someone from when sending a friend request, and it didn't let you send the request if you didn't know the person.

"That means secure connections to everything from your bank site to Wired.com to the online menu at your local pizza parlor." Oh, the irony that the article itself isn't served over HTTPS.

While these technologies can run on this power, they simply aren't consumerised, or even in the rear view mirror of non-HN types right now. You also have to consider the use-cases: a smartphone or tablet can be used to author documen

Internally, we have a graph editing tool which uses D3 (screenshot [1]) which I threw together based on some existing examples. I'd be happy to open up the source code if there was any interest, though it's really nothing all that

I'm not in support of banning Bitcoin news, but with titles like this, yeah it kinda is hard to ignore them.

That's a valid criticism. Specifically, we offer courses that are far shorter and more targeted than a "traditional" offering (or one that you'd find on a MOOC). Content is broken down to the concept level, and available

This is by no means isolated to engineering or mathematics either. Nearly all students, especially in higher education, will have gaps in their understanding of topics they are expected to just know. The classroom simply isn't able to

I'm an EU citizen and it seems a bit annoying to me, too. Clearly I'm in the minority (the upvotes are against me), but if I wanted to keep track of their progress I could just as well follow their blog or Twitter.

Is it just me, or for this example does the "dispatch table" seem way more complex (and likely less efficient) than the switch statement? The original is not difficult at all to interpret.

If it's a 10% overage, then the limit should have been 16.5 GB, no? Do they give a grace period? (if so, even more impressive)
