I am well aware that he is, but since he didn't say so it sounds accusatory if I point that out. If you read my original comment, I said that SproutCore has been missing a table view for years, and that it wasn't an oversight but something

Perhaps they no longer share code, but they share architecture which was responsible for the lack of table view in SproutCore. The history of the two projects is long and complicated, and most of the people working on Ember were SproutCore

A feature rich, reliable table view in SproutCore (from which Ember was forked) has been a highly requested feature for at least 4 years. I'm glad that someone has finally done so, but I am also disappointed that it was so difficult.

A receiver/decrypter only contains the public key, which can't be used to encrypt a new message. Perhaps you aren't familiar with asymmetric / public key cryptography?

These are the decisions that build (or do not build) community. The best decision is to look at what is best for the most people, consider as a maintainer where you want the framework to go, and make a careful decision. A cursory glance ove

I played pull request with a framework recently. There was something that I wanted to do that could only be done if the framework had fully chained a JavaScript function (ie, forwarded all parameters, included "this", and returned the resul

Always high "projector" headlights have been common for a decade[1]. They use a flap to block the top half of the beam, creating a strong line below which the headlights are always full power. When a car with these headlights goes over a bu

I'm not sure what you mean by "repurchase" IAPs , but the IAP API provides server-server cryptographic verification from Apple that is not crackable. Not all apps properly verify purchases, so there is mention of pirating IAPs, but done co

Understandably, commercial airliners do not land via computer because human pilots are better than the autopilots in most commercial aircraft. To say that this will always be the case, especially in an entrepreneurial software forum, is rid

Are there any known SD exploits? My intuition is that the format is dumb enough that there are not, but intuition makes for poor security.

That was the improvement I imagined as well, but the product presented is not that and shouldn't be described as any more secure than a static QR code.

Indeed, it is equivalent to a static RFID or QR code. Would you secure door locks or physical transactions using a static QR code? "Scan this to prove you were here, but please don't share it on twitter."

It's a cute idea, but a static pattern is trivially defeated by presenting a smartphone that records the touch pattern. Make a smart box that can stamp a dynamic pattern and you'll be on to something. EDIT: context on why this is important,

It would take a proper user interaction study to find out, but I don't think that I am wrong. Imagine a photograph on a table that you want to see better (make larger). Your natural motion is to touch and pull, which is dragging down.

On my MBP scrolling is backwards (swipe up moves closer), and mouse motion controls the camera offset angle. It's easy to write the code this way, but awkward and surprising during use. It's better to pretend that the hand manipulates the m
