Thanks for that. Isn't syncing to both iCould and DropBox against Apple's TOS? That would explain why many are not supporting it.

Thanks for sharing your experience. I'm just starting development on a text editor (for written word, not code) and found your post useful.

I could be off-base, would guess that part of the issue is that his choice of names is also a keyword for every one of his competitors: "Timer." It's like trying to Google yourself if your name is "John Smith" -- good luck with that. On t

I'm always a little surprised that release update articles like these don't open with a one sentence description of what the library/package does for those of us who have never come across it before. edit: here's a great example of someone

I've replaced MVC with VAM -- View->API->Model. I believe it's best to always code the "operations" layer as an API layer. The API always acts on models. Very similar to operations in MOVE, but it clarifies the goals of the layer.

My thoughts: - "Trailmix" is too generic. Do an alternate version of the site named hackersnacker.com or something like that and market it as the perfect food to have in a bowl next to your keyboard. In line with this, add chocolate-covered

Are you working on a way to develop and delpoy apps on your platform without shipping the entire source code to the app to the browser? I'm guessing there are a lot of people who don't mind their source code being sent to each user, but I t

Really nice. I'd make one change if I had the time to fork it myself... allow vertical and/or horizontal mouse movement to control the slider in addition to circular movement. In some cases (such as time-based scrubbing), having the control

looks nice. was it somewhat-inspired by the video going around that demonstrates faster cursor movements by sliding fingers over the keyboard? after a selection is made, it might be nice to pop-up cut/copy/paste options automatically (unles

just watched the video. nicely done! is there a way to specify explicit ordering? so, if task1 takes three hours and task2 takes 10 minutes and must follow task1, can i keep the service from putting task2 before task1 when it is creating a

Sort-of off topic: That guy has nothing on some of the other infamous CEO career lies... take the ex-CEO of Lotus (former makers of 123, Lotus Notes, etc). He lied about being a fighter pilot, having a PhD, and being a black belt in tae kwo

Here's my big concern: If my entire app is client-based JavaScript, wouldn't that make cloning my app as simple as copying all of the JavaScript and other asset files and then associating them with another firebase account -- perhaps modify

A TV network is going to Pilot with a new fictional sitcom -- called "Friend Me" I believe. It's about a man who packs-up and moves so he can work at Groupon (not made-up). Perhaps making it a comedy isn't such a good idea. ;-)

"There's a cost to the 'free' route" - your mistake here is thinking that people actually compute those costs. "Free" is a word that lights-up irrational neurons in our brains, like "all you can eat." It almost doesn't matter the cost. That

That article is over a year old (January 2011). Here's a newer one from 18 January 2012: http://news.sciencemag.org/scienceinsider/2012/01/all-eyes-o... As a matter of fact, based on their drilling rate, they should have reached it by now
