Not all Torrent users are a menace to society. I pay for my content, all of it. But the speed and UX of this app is quite obviously the next stage of evolution for the movie business. Sorry but I'm tired of overpriced popcorn and peopl

I did, but they just said they are not interested and paid nothing. The whole thing took most of a work day, all of it spent writing code.

Because it was shipped about 48 hours after I wrote it, and I see details in it that are specific to my implementation. In fact, if you use their iOS app(especially on the more memory-consuming devices like an iPad Retina)you'll notice

Here are the parts not covered by an NDA: * Our initial email communication. * The description of my task. * The schedule for our meeting (in-office, where the code was written) * The bill that my consulting company sent them, including a d

Eh, angry birds runs on Lua. Your point was?

It's really easy to "fix the problem". There have been fixes on Jailbroken devices for years.

Because if everyone did that, there would be so much noise that any signal would be lost.

"Would you kindly" is a reference to the first Bioshock. You had to be there.

When they say "casual atmosphere", you should think about people taking time off work to drive their kids to baseball practice. Not potheads arriving at 12PM at work.

XORing random streams doesn't have as much value as you think.

Ahm, that's the way to install pretty much everything these days. I mean, I know it's a security risk. But it isn't any more (or less) of a risk than installing nvm or just running git clone.

Yes, in the sense that 'Star Wars' is just a movie.

True, but it isn't the only company serving apt packages, and it isn't even the biggest one. Considering that their apt server was as slow as it was( http://talks.golang.org/2013/oscon-dl.slide#9 ) - they obvio

True, but a static-file server should be trivially scalable. That is, scalable by placing it behind a load balancer(or using any number of alternative methods that don't acutally touch the server itself). Even if the server implement

"My wife should not be thrown out of the venue" is hardly an unexpected and entitled demand, though. It falls more into the "not going to mention it because it's implied" category.

You are technically correct, but coming up with those magic numbers(43, 48, 63) requires the user to manually try and find them, is more error-prone, and requires a whole lot more keypresses for larger blocks that don't fit on one scre

Alternatively, you should have an attention span not measured in seconds.

Honestly? The difference between G and F is that F actually released the code. You saying "but we had this for years...as a proprietary system" kind of proves the author's point.

Open source is only as old as its latest commit. https://code.google.com/p/vim/source/list Which, in this case, seems to be 5 hours.

Using this in bed will answer once and for all the eternal question: "Do you make love like Barry White or Nickelback?"

I'm sorry for my angry comment. I guess I didn't hit the proper tone. I'm leaving it here for my eternal embarrassment, but here's what I meant to say: I have had many bad experiences with incompetently-written libraries. A bad library can

There's far too many typos for me to have any amount of confidence in the code itself. Sorry, but I can't trust my business with people who cannot even be bothered to write proper English for their introduction.

No, Steve's rant was also about how Google is very much on the "Conservative" end of the political spectrum. When a conservative company uses an - as per steve's article - liberal language, you can't expect them to use it in a liberal way.
