Absolutely. I am not saying that these add-ons can not be useful. In fact there are a lot of ideas one can come up with. I just think external email integrations are hard to keep healthy and active.

Sorry to be the one that has negative feelings about it. Email is one of those rare concepts that is really hard to change or enhance. I can easily see Google abandoning this feature in 5 years. People need email service just because of the

It is not really hard for EA to make more realistic football(soccer) game. The problem is, probably around 15% of the all FIFA gamers will enjoy the real experience while the rest will find it so difficult to play. Their considerable amount

Even though It might be a simple error on Apple's end, this is both morally and economically unacceptable. As long as it is not a top-high critical issue with the account or the application, a considerable time should be given to devel

Here are my 2 cents about the pricing page you have @jasonkester "Cheap Bastard Plan" is both little too much slang, and unpleasant to look at if you are in a demo to show this service to upper management. I am not saying that you

> Just because the commits are fine as part of a branch doesn't mean you want to keep them as part of mainline. Can you elaborate on this? I would be happy to learn more about it.

I personally think that commit history should be kept as long as it makes sense. But in some cases, you don't want to keep some of the commit messages if they don't add anything to development flow. For example, - Force SSL flag w

There is something fishy in this whole story. - You wouldn't risk your new position by not quitting your old one. - Apple would not want you to keep your old job since they want your focus on your new position. - Getting double salarie

I think Google lately spending too much time in the Silicon Valley bubble and less time in the real world. Solutions they are coming up with have so little value outside the small bubble. WhatsApp solved a real world problem without being f

As long as they(Google) don't study why WhatsApp is the most popular messaging app, I don't think they will ever dominate this market. Here are the most important 2 things in my opinion that made whatsapp #1 messaging app. - Whats

I think there are some important points that is not mentioned when discussing Indias doing it with much less money than what NASA did. Questions comes to my mind are; - How well(deserved) the engineers were paid during the development? - Ho

I just wondered why it is laggy when I scroll the page down quickly and inspected the network activity. 6 times scrolling ends up with 210 new requests. really? Is this really needed or can't it be improved easily with bigger range of

Rails is a true example of an opinionated framework. So if you think this is the way to go, open an issue on github, bring out your ideas about how this change can help people and see if it works out. Rails tries to set most of the best pra

It is great to see another milestone is almost done and stable version will be released soon. Highlights for me will be: - Actioncable (real-time communication over websockets) - Rails-API is merged into core. - Min ruby version is 2.2 (per

You can solve the back-button issue with a little better UX design. Don't change the url when people are clicking on the urls, but have a share icon for each element that is placed in the modal that pops up when clicking on it. In this

I think it is one of the first times Apple couldn't bring the best out of a specific technology/concept. As you can see from very beginning, Apple most of the time took an existing technology/concept, made it better and made

Thanks for your feedback, and I partly agree with you. > It's like saying JS should have stayed on the browser What I meant was, we don't need to re-implement the application logic in browser. Take an example of translation str
