If it was anything other than a blanket "don't do this," maybe. It's also like a crowd of new software engineers being told on day one, "By the way, you probably know this, but don't hack the payroll server to

Can you elaborate? For example, what is the end-goal of technological innovation? What's the end-goal of any job? To me, the point of innovation is to make people's lives better. Growing pains, a temporary loss of one type of job,

As far as I know, this is providing a better answer to "How do we know this is valid PHP code?" Currently, the answer to that question is "Because it does/doesn't compile using the standard PHP interpreter." Wh

If NFC ever takes off as a must-have in the payments world, I'm sure Square would try to use the NFC in phones through their app. But given that they've already tried a "Just use the app, forget your wallet" approach tha

But there's also the iOS model to consider: "Why buy this game if it's not $1?" I know there's other factors at work, but this is what publishers are (understandably) afraid of.

I think that's also the thinking behind Apple having CloudKit in iOS 8: as I understand, it's a set amount of space/processing per user.

Fair, but I think most of the things being suggested here are open source, so the truly curious can use them as a starting point. Alternatively: it's good to see what's out there so that when you do (inevitably) write your own, yo

It does. I run it on my local machine and use Hipstadeploy to render it to static HTML and send it to Amazon S3. (I'm the kind of weird person that actually likes using a database and fancy backend to write/organize my posts, so I

Should be noted that in most cases your employer would cover most of that premium. My insurance went from $10/month (with my employer covering $580) to $590/month on COBRA when I was laid off.

I definitely recommend deploying static pages (either GitHub pages as people have mentioned or a static website through Amazon S3/CloudFront). Personally, I use Ghost and Hipstadeploy: http://ghost.org/ https:/&#

Which also emphasizes the point that Apple wouldn't ship this sort of code on iOS if it wasn't properly secured.

I'm not sure myself, but I'd wager it's when the brainstorming and iterations are getting less significant. When you're changing less and less through each iteration, then you know it's getting close to being done.

A child doesn't get picked for an entire class and loses out to a student that doesn't have his hand raised. Sounds like bias to me.

I'll second that with some hope: if this is a standard system library like it is on iOS, then they should be able to at least have an "edit in Pixelmator" extension for the system photo library.
