Let's kickstart it! We can feed the team with potato salad.

Thanks for pointing this out, this is REALLY new, perhaps added in the most recent build. I didn't see notes for this either.

I think by stories the author means real adventures with you and your teammates for that specific match - not some sort of CS lore. Each match brings new humans that will play, react, chat differently then an AI in a single player game.

I think we are putting the cart before the horse here. Let's see if this actually becomes a problem. There is such a limited amount of purposeful animation that happens right now. I imagine adding well thought animations would be nice.

I think the OP was just trying to pick an easily accessible activity so he could focus on getting his point across. As a newbie to backpacking knowing if I have the right gear, what to do, where to go, can I even do this? could cloud the re

I have been dying to find an Android dev who has at least written a real app but I'm overflowing with iOS devs. Any advice where to find these guys?

Are you doing your integration and instrumentation tests on actual devices as well?

Oh this is cool and that article was really insightful. I had no idea Nintendo was doing this. Back in the day console dev was near impossible to get into but this opens up all kinds of doors.

In SF half the places I go only take cash - so it's not always an option to use credit. Wish it was though.

I interested in how wearable companies use this. If they give up their data to Apple that removes a large barrier for users to adopt a different wearable company(or apples own product). On the other hand users might demand their current wea

It's $99 a year. I agree it could be more clear but it was also not impossible to find. https://www.amazon.com/gp/prime/pipeline/prime_gifting_landi...

Is it possible to license full offline copies of Google Maps - that would be a requirement for sure.

This is not entirely true. In a market like ours we often can vote with our wallet. There is not an obvious product here that we can or can't buy or use but I would not say that we are powerless.

Totally agree. You don't need 100's just 5-10 like you said. It will be really obvious of the issues because many people will suffer them same ones.

The presentations and material are great but there are a lot of attendees there who are not developers which makes a lot of the interactions confusing. TBH if there were more developers there I'm not sure I would be been able to get a

OP is quoting and criticizing the article's writing not startup odds.

Things like you are describing are not always designed from the ground up the way you see them in the end. It's quite probable it built up over time starting with just a few controls ending in many. It's easy in retrospect to see

"No one cares about Windows Phone or BlackBerry - so I didn't test them." Often these forgotten platforms have the most issues with attackers/exploiters. There was just an article on here the other day about the wave of

Would love to see something similar perhaps a part 2 on deploying this in the wild as well.

I think the real key here is have a product people want. After that you have a lot more room to take chances in marketing without it blowing up. They even conclude that they don't believe people even cared when purchasing from amazon t

On the other side what if you did have some issue but this clean report gave you a false sense of health - would you delay your next checkup?

I think these conversations can be misleading. It's all about tools and frameworks. There was a small window in time where I spent writing mobile apps in JavaFX - and it was a nightmare. No support for different phone sizes or hardware

I think the threat of Apple taking their business elsewhere is larger then any gain from "stealing" the chip design.

One man's trash is another man's treasure. This ultra specific nature of the rooms is one thing I liked about turntable over other services. I found everyone else's "Radio" paled in comparison to community based pla

Not only that but it's a guy who has used more then just the default Dell and Apple keyboard that their computer came with.

I like the Nexus approach. They are working with a phone manufacture on a device to show what CAN be done with time and love. Anyone can take Android and put it on a phone so the best thing you can do is set an example of excellence. If com
