Nope entirely new unannounced game. Scrolls is being worked on by other Mojang employees other than Notch and Jens.

I'm glad to see more companies moving away from overly invasive branding. I don't need to see the name of the company in front of everything. No one would ever say "open Windows Live Photo Gallery". They would say something like "go to Phot

Because of what kstenerud and robododo wrote below http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3622191 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3622441 Interviewers don't owe you anything. If you are over-qualified then within five minutes of talkin

From the comments it seems like there are three points of view: 1) Yeah this is dead on. Employers should only care about the code you've written. 2) No your always need a resume because your job history is more important. 3) GitHub complem

That's unfortunate. I'd be interested in knowing how many people at Apple actually use Xcode daily (and how many of those are the developers who actually work on Xcode). Apple has grown a lot in recent years and I'm sure a lot of the new bl

True but these complaints of crashing seem to be about Xcode 4.2 and below because 4.3 just came out. I haven't even upgraded to it yet.

by reidmain 15y ago
Have you been upgrading your Xcode installs or installing from scratch? I have a theory that Apple really doesn't test the upgrade path much and a lot of the problems I've seen seem to stem from that. If true reinstalling everytime is defin

Have you been upgrading your Xcode installations or starting from scratch? I got my Mac in 2010 and was having major Xcode problems with 4.x but I had to nuke my computer when 10.7.2 came out and I've had almost no problems since then with

Did you really not have the time to open the App Store and type "Xcode"? Really? Hell even if you're not on a Mac type "Xcode" into Google and look at the first result!

Yeah when I upgraded to Lion I stopped using Growl. The App Store version somehow screwed up support for the apps I used it for most. Having a simple API that all developers can hook into and not have to worry about Growl's bugs is a welcom

Agreed. It would be naive to think that the stock holders have absolutely no say. But Apple seems to have done such a great job at putting the customer experience first and making a ton of money off of it. They also have more cash on hand t

The app does not have to be in the Store, it only has to be signed by Apple. The default setting is to allow any app that has been signed by Apple to run. If a developer does not have the time in the next six months to sign their app then I

I understand. Without talking to the author directly we'll never know if he especially crafted it to be received that way. Personally I feel this is just the authors genuine opinion/enthusiasm for this topic coming out on paper. I think he

The problem with your comparison is that the stakeholders of SOPA/PIPA are people who want to screw you. They don't care about your experience they want to make the most possible money off you. I'd argue that to Apple the consumers are thei

Um no one is giving up any liberty. Apple is sheltering the uneducated until they are more learned. That is all. If in five years I can only run apps on my Mac that come from the App Store then I'll eat crow but I'd bet everything I have on

You actually don't know of a OS that does that. Windows Vista's UAC was to ask "Are you sure?" for everything, not just running applications. There was no whitelist of secure apps short of what was installed with Windows. The major differ

I don't have any experience with the Bump app but using the API was one of the worst experiences of my life. Poor documentation, a number of undocumented bugs and general inconsistency of the API callbacks were incredibly frustrating. We us

Would you be able to link me to said post? If true I'd love to read it to correct my flawed understanding.

I'm curious, have you actually done any Mac or iOS development?

Gruber makes multiple references to Jobs' faults in that article. He is simply shredding the quotes that Issacson used without actually thinking about what they meant or checking the facts. What about this article do you think is Gruber twi

It would not run worse. The stuttering nature of Android is because of the software architecture decisions that were made early in development. The same is true with iOS. iOS places much higher priority on rendering and handling user input

I feel that simply upvoting this is not enough. Thank you for writing this redthrowaway. You've captured my thoughts perfectly.

This was the first thing that came to mind when I heard about this. I've seen a lot of people say "we need to protect the young girls in these pictures". What about the 1-5 year olds who are being dressed up and paraded around by their pare

True. They've decided to go with the least invasive form of DRM that is typically excepted. I agree with you that a stand alone installer would be best but because of how easy Steam is I am gladly willing to give them $30 for said game.

It will be interesting to see how the extra money affects the game. They said they are going to inject all of it into development but since they want this to be out by October-ish they are going to have to cut scope eventually. I honestly h

They said everything will work exactly like before if you opt-in. So the second you click "accept" they have your entire address book until you email them and say please delete it. This is smoke and mirrors and makes it sound like they've d
