Unless I'm mistaking, an API that let's an app take pictures without the display betraying what's going on doesn't even exist. I don't even think any API exists to take pictures — that doesn't involve the touch of a finger on the displa

Angry Birds on Android was launched off of the success on the iPhone though. Not that invalidates their success on the Android platform or anything, just that it doesn't speak to the power of the Android platform, since it probably would ne

Good points. Another aspect to consider is that some Android users don't even know that they are Android users. I don't know how many, but speaking from personal experience, it seems a non-negligible percentage of "normal" Android users s

That wouldn't have caught this though, this code wasn't even executed, just sent as plain text.

A huge mistake, but Tumblr's staff are probably quite experienced, nonetheless. How about that gotcha though? A single character is mistakenly changed from "<" to "i" and that exposes the source code to the browser. Think about that.

I think PHP has so many gotchas, so many ways to trip up even seasoned developers, that it's inevitable to miss something.

Uh, you're saying nuclear no, but then nuclear 45% of Sweden and 30% of Finland, so you must mean nuclear yes.

Scandinavia is mostly driven by nuclear and hydro power. So the point still stands.

I don't even know if I'd need any notes to be able to deploy to my platform of choice, Ruby Enterprise Edition and Phusion Passenger running on Debian, in less than an hour. Not because I'm particularly skilled at it, but because the Phusio

It's not a race. The exploits are prepared far in advance, and whichever is hacked first is determined by the random order in which the challengers get to demonstrate their hacks.

I think Steve's puffery is more of an explanation; it says something about why they're doing what they're doing, from their perspective. Compare and contrast with the other kind of puffery, seen in this article. Steve's puffery can actually

I was kidding, a little. I think 80 characters wide feels a bit cramped (and an artifact from a time before the visual user interface and high resolution displays), but 200 character lines is clearly way too much.

The visual user interface happened.

I think that's the plan. New frameworks are usually private before they become public, right? There's a positive way to look at this.

Launchpad is kind of poorly designed, looks a bit messy. I think that matters too.

The bicep isn't the primary muscle being used, but it isn't relaxed during the exercise either, and at a beginner to intermediate level, it simply isn't necessary to target the bicep specifically. That's what makes these compound exercises

Dead lifts work your back.

Of those, only the dumbbell presses are even an alternative to the bench press. Dumbbell presses are fine. But bench presses are better, and if you do them, you don't need to do dumbbell presses (but do, if you like them, I do too, as a c

They're great, better than the complimentary ones I listed, but not strictly necessary if you do the Big Three. The areas you mention are covered by the dead lifts, especially shoulders and upper back. The bicep is a relatively tiny muscle

by tjogin 16y ago
Squats, dead lifts, bench presses, those are the Big Three. That's what you absolutely need to do, and if you do them it is where 90% of your results will come from. It's also the only exercises you need to ever do. Having said that, if you

You're splitting hairs. Or rather, drawing arbitrary lines in the sand. And how could anyone in their right mind not defend Apple's choice to at the time not offer tools that didn't exist then? That doesn't make you biased, it makes you rea

That's simply not true either. John Gruber and other Apple pundits often disagree vehemently with Apple's strategy and their offers. Remember when Steve Jobs presented the first third-party developer solution for iPhone: web apps? "If all y

I didn't even comment on this specific case. I just wanted to point out that, contrary to what you claimed, John Gruber have in fact criticized Apple quite a bit, and especially on the topic of their App Store regulations. To claim that h

John Gruber has been one of the most vocal critics of the App Store, its rules and the inconsistent application thereof.

Yes, as the in-app offer must match or beat offers outside of the app.
