I've often speculated it may be based on how you are brought up. If you value charity, engineering, and redemption then Bill Gates (of today) is more suitable. If you value creativity, strong will, and charisma then it is Steve Jobs.

I do not disagree with the sentiment; it is useful to immediately know if there's been a bug introduced that might slow down your work and you may be in a good position to offer suggestions to fix. But also consider: - If the bug is a regr

Blood, sweat, and tears :). It was part policy, I wanted to keep HYPE.js below 40 KB which is important to some markets (advertisers) and didn't want to slow down the web. My best recommendation is to always use Google Closure Compiler. B

I just made this move a couple days ago after DreamHost silently dropping emails, among their history of outages and server restarts. Comparing the two, I was surprised at how fully featured DreamHost really is, but aside from a few small

It is probably named the same as many other popular products; "spark" is a common english word. With 7 billion people on this planet it is impossible to avoid naming collisions if you're going to use something from the dictionary.

I agree, I'm unsure of what the hook is for someone to download the mobile app and use it. Perhaps it would make sense if human.io came as a framework developers could import in their existing apps? With this, they could potentially send o

As a developer in the same boat, I can say I'd love to give users the ability to migrate licenses, even if it means losing a little bit of money for their happiness. Unfortunately Apple only provides 50 promo codes per version, and they ar

Fantastic site! It'd be great if there was more metadata ahead of time to such as: - Memory management model (ARC, GC, or refcount) - Min/Max OS X version or SDK - If it is sandboxable It'd also be fun to see a list of projects which use th

Nice mustache! Here's some other Foundation classes/methods which are very useful but lesser known: NSCountedSet - and NSMutableSet that keeps counts of objects added NSValueTransformer - More of a design pattern for generically converting

I only use it in cases where an underlying framework does not expose or provide the functionality I need (and subclassing is not an option). I wouldn't necessarily say it means these frameworks are not well-designed though.

This is a comprehensive list of many considerations. Top of the list should be to have as small of an API as possible. API is forever. If you expose too much up-front then it increases the surface area of getting things wrong, which deve

I didn't spend time doing an analysis beforehand. I did IE8 support which was impossible to ignore given its ~30% market share at the time. A friend in our early alpha testing said she couldn't use our app unless it supported IE6 for her

You're correct, as many of these hacks to fall down in many cases or in unexpected ways. We've got hacks upon hacks to get them to work decently! These are items we (or tools) can manage though. From our user perspective, non-transparent

Looks like this uses anywhere from 4-20% CPU while running on my 3.4 GHz quad-core i7 iMac. Have you thought about laptop battery life/power bill/world pollution implications?

Small thing: on the http://trypair.com/ site, I tried clicking the play button several times expecting a video demo until it scrolled up beyond the initial screenshot.

Agreed we need to tackle this -- I would definitely like to beef up how we support mobile devices better.

Bret and I actually overlapped at Apple a little bit, his work has always been insightful and amazing. His first demo also is very similar to our own HyperEdit ( http://tumultco.com/HyperEdit/ ) though he takes the concept to the next level

Thanks for illustrating how we scale with the screenshot! :)

That's a good point. I put it at number one because I knew it was the first thing that would be noticed anyways and would only take a couple seconds to show. While I believe it is an improvement I wanted call it out to help manage the chan

I'd be curious if after some time you still hold that opinion, feel free to ping me in a couple weeks. The good thing is Mac OS has always been great about allowing icon changes by copying/pasting in the get info window. I probably spent to

Thanks, I appreciate your thoughts. Discussion of the icon isn't unexpected given: - it is the first change users will notice - the style is quite distinct from the old icon; even large software changes like the redesigned animation interfa

We do have separate variants for 32x32 and 16x16 sizes, which are visible when scaling in the Finder.

While the Hummingbird icon was well balanced and indicated motion, there were a few reasons that made us change: - We didn't feel it was Mac OS X-y enough; it didn't seem to fit in with other icons in my Dock. - The concept itself was too a
