From someone who uses both daily, this is far from the truth, and I can only conclude that you have not used Android Studio in your day job.

Gradle documentation is 66, but Android's gradle plugin is only a subset. Plus, gradle _is_ simple and easy to use in the standard scenario of a run-of-the-mill Android app. It's when your app becomes more complicated (product fla

I hated Android Studio when I first started using it. All my shortcuts were different from Eclipse, and the whole module structure wasn't as intuitive for me (I stayed away from IntelliJ too). However, after using it for the last 6 mon

Is it just me, and the VR community in Seattle, or does it seem like no one is excited about the Samsung VR? I hear very little buzz about it, especially since it's only compatible with the Note 4. Also, I'm not sold on the whole

I am not sure I believe it, fuck believing it. I have worked on enough software projects to know its not entirely true. But why should I not get excited? I got excited when Obama announced his policy and I will continue to get excited. It m

I have never seen their announcements in the past. Between SpaceX, the global international space travel movement, and hey even Interstellar, there is a lot more buzz around space travel. Plus, we have landed a rover on mars, plus people ha

Fuck the cynicism. The fact that NASA finally has its head turned around to at least announce is indicative to me of a cultural, maybe generational shift towards giving a shit about space travel. Who cares who does it first, at least this

You can throw afl-fuzz at many other types of parsers with similar results: with bash, it will write valid scripts; ^ that seems fun, I just don't think I would run it on my machine for fear of what it might create (oh.. rm -rf * ok!)

You had me at "Works with Windows Phone 8.1 update, iOS 7.1, 8 and Android 4.3-4.4 phones, with Bluetooth" If that's true, this is pretty awesome. Funny I had to read the small print to even find this feature of the band. Suc

Ick, that has to hurt. Maybe they could have some beer with Bezos and share in the misery.

You get that, but not in the same user friendly way. Plus email is passive, while chat is active. I think this is the main selling point of chat. With email you do not get the same feeling as a chat room, and maybe that feeling is what driv

The web hook integrations add a lot of value. Plus consider that most communication is archived and searchable but multiple users. Not the case with email + IM.

Having used Slack I found it ammusing the way they describe it: Slack, the enterprise collaboration platform It actually is true and a great way to market. 1.2B valuation seems high, but I guess this is a lesson that you can do the same thi

Up until recently, I've enjoyed the builder pattern. It becomes a pain in the ass though when your objects are deeply nested. For example, with protocol buffers you end up doing things like. AlbumCollection collection = user.getPrefere

That examples makes sense, but what about Strings and other types? I'm not sure you can do the same thing for a User object with name, age etc. I'd love to not have getters/setters but I have yet to see a replacement for all

Sooo this means it will be what 5 years if never before Android starts to adopt some of these new Java 9 features? Kitkat introduced some Java 7 features, but I don't think anything in 8 is near to making it in.

I agree and I hate getters, but I am one of those who still hasn't figure out how to do OOP correctly. Do you have an example or maybe some suggested reading? For example, if I have a user object, with name, age, number, how would that

Ha nice, I immediately thought of that episode to after reading this. I really miss that show :(. It is a good point, but I wonder when it breaks down and turns into something like McCarthyism.

This reminds me so much of an awesome 30 Rock episode where Fred Armisen plays the middle eastern neighbor of Tina Fey's character. She ultimately gets him turned in for planning an attack, when he was just preparing for The Amazing Ra

Not to sound trite, but I wish I was in your shoes. You have a masters, 6 years of mgmt exp., and most importantly a wife that is _willing to pack up everything and move_. That's awesome man, best of luck to you, you will be on your fe

" Start with a grind size around that of coarse sugar. (Think Sugar in the Raw.)" Does anyone know what type of grind this would be (e.g. french press, conical)?

Thanks, the conclusions of these articles seems to be that there is not conclusive evidence that high fat diets are linked to heart disease.

I did find this Harvard study: http://www.health.harvard.edu/newsletters/Harvard_Heart_Lett... However, it seems to be that it is the breakdown of high fructose (not the type found in fruit) which leads to the creation
