Fixed most of these. "use switch" and "flip switch" both work, and now "pull switch" does too. "enter door" works now. changing get will take a little more work, so for now I just aliased it to take. "go north" is already in the game, jus

Added those now as well! (and, yes, that and as a complement to the fission verb) Do you mean scrollback across refreshes or something else? (you can email me at robbyw@cueup.com since HN will start time-limiting our conversation at this

Not at the moment, but with enough interest, it's something we could do at some point.

Google seems to resolve several different things as "terminal.js" - which do you mean? Or, a shorter answer to your question: no. :)

We figured this would be good for some Friday fun! Admittedly, a few of the problems are solvable by hand, and we wish there were more jokes about gnus, but overall we just hope you enjoy playing as much as we enjoyed building it.

One example that comes to mind: we have a networking layer that prioritizes some HTTP requests over others. For example, we seed our cache by firing off requests for the next 30 days, but at a low priority. There was a bug in this layer w

The trick is that we use the same original object at the same address in memory and overwrite what class it thinks it is (as opposed to wrapping it). So in a way it becomes a proxy to itself.

Seems to work fine since we're dropping in the exact same implementation instructions as would have been there otherwise, and using the same object too. That way, any ivar references still correspond to the same positions in memory.

Time Profiler is a sampling profiler, this one is instrumenting. They're both useful at different times - we find this one useful for * Thread activity graphs with drill-in * Seeing accurate counts of calls * More precise per-call timings

Sorry to hear it! About two weeks ago we closed the last of our known push bugs. There is one that's left where iOS itself will re-send an old push along with new notifications which is fixed by a phone restart. (this happens with all ap

Fair point! It's hard to assign numbers to perf for something like an entire application - a lot of the wins we found were places where the main screen was locked (causing app un-responsiveness) or where we were able to change the order of

Robby from Cue here: we've found a ton of non-trivial performance wins for the Cue app by using this. Let me know if there are things we can do to make it useful for you too. A lot of the inspiration for how to actually make this work came

I think he was referring specifically to the painful nature of multiple accounts on the iPhone. In the browser, we've had great luck with Google's multi-accounts feature: http://www.google.com/support/accounts/bin/answer.py?answer=...

I completely understand what you're saying. In your metaphor, our system is more like this: all "porn" I access is logged (and this log is sent to my wife) and only she and I together can unlock the filter. More succinctly: no single pers

A couple things you mentioned here are great use cases of Greplin - to find that address you're getting a map for, to find phone numbers of the person you need to call, or to find out information about your upcoming sync'ed calendar event.

We did, but for basically anything over 1GB we found heap dumps to be prohibitively slow. Then, instead of failing for one request we'd basically end up killing the whole server.
