I think if you are starting from nothing, message passing is actually a more intuitive way to think about and design large distributed programs, because you don't need to deal with a lot of the complexities of OO languages such as stat

That's not what I meant. It's got the right easing curves out of the box for most transitions. Sorry for the confusion. But there are definitely some things that take a little more digging around as the documentation doesn&#x27

It's really odd to read your comment and the parent comment, at least regarding the iOS side of things. I've gotten my RN app to run at the same performance level (as far as the user is concerned) as my native app and there are de

This article compares a community of Visual Designers (the ones you find on Dribbble) with 2 specific UX people . A better comparison would be Dribbble vs IXDA, community vs community, one with the focus on form vs the other with focus o

The deal being what is the point of posting 2 top level comments with the exact same content and intent. Asking not to get downvoted unless people provide evidence, and you not providing any evidence for starters.

Is this only media sharing like images, gifs and videos or can I share links and text content too?

Someone should make Magic for complicated tasks and more long-term projects. This will solve 3 of the biggest problems with freelancer sites 1) Not knowing who to choose for the job, I'd rather a good matchmaker just get me someone who

The example he gave regarding opening a car door is not fair. The alternative is a car key. Let me give you a step by step example of what it's like to open the car door with a car key. Walk around with a key in my pocket. Walk aroun

This is nice to know but I really think it's a questionable thing to do considering they specifically want to omit the number from their current website :/

It's expensive. Difficult for commuters, even if you live in the city, just to get around. It's style over substance, and it attracts brogrammers, not "bright young talent", which can exist anywhere. The guy grew the c

I could have been more specific, but paying for advertising on OKCupid for this startup in particular is just not going to work. It's not cost effective and very few people will be clicking through on those ads. I guess the better way

Paid advertising rarely works. I think the growth hack is pretty clever. Perhaps they should pay to be allowed to growth hack.
