I'm not a 1Password user. What's a common number of PBKDF2 rounds to have it configured for? What's the default?

Yeah, god forbid you're out the price of lunch and aren't 100% happy with what you got.

Skip a dose, and there would be hell to pay. “I really would feel it. It was sort of like being thrust into dirty, messy reality, as opposed to a clean, neatly organized place. It was like crashing, and I actually found what would happen i

Sure -- plenty. Here's another example. It replaces a custom hardware gadget that costs much more: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/tunelab-piano-tuner/id335568...

Not entirely happy to see NYT blowing up the Barkley, but this is a fascinating subculture.

So, the scenario goes something like this: you've been in business for a few years. You've got let's say 20 employees. And you're profitable! Barely! It looks like with some hard work and a couple more years, you can get the company to abou

I've subclassed NSManagedObject and added instance variables and custom accessors literally every time I've written Core Data code. It's usually not a problem -- yes, you do have to do a couple things to preserve the underlying behavior. W

That's a pretty carefully thought out list of grievances. What do you mean by 1), though? The link shows a list of methods you can't override on NSManagedObject, but they're things like -class and -isEqual:, which seems pretty reasonable fo

Bingo. Core Data concurrency pretty much works these days.

Here's the opening sentence from Anthony Ha's top list for TC. How much more positive can you get? Y Combinator was tougher to get into than ever this season, and the quality showed on stage.

I looked into this a year ago. You're right: "dry-aged beef" is the fancy expensive stuff your yuppie butcher is selling you. "Wet-aged" is everything else -- they pretty much stick it in a plastic bag in a brine that breaks down tissue. If

So, you were attracted to the promised simplicity of the service, but turned off by the simplicity of the user model?

I have for years. Believe me, the idea that the app store is a positive feedback loop and you have to clear the inital hurdle to get anywhere is not news to me. But the advice you're giving here is roughly equivalent to telling a young cycl

This is toxic advice and putting it out there makes the ecosystem worse. Giving it anonymously but backing it by appealing to your authority as an IGF judge, etc is bullshit. (And that's true regardless of whether it's effective -- it clear

This is disturbingly cynical advice. If you stand by it, why not attach your real name to it? If not, why put it in public? And by the way, you're recommending buying fake reviews. Here's a better tactic (and one that's guaranteed not to ge

And it's usually hilarious to the outsiders who can see the narrowness of a profession's vision. The post list stuff like 3D printing (i.e. decentralized/democratized manufacturing). If just that one technology becomes widespread (and it'
