   What? The entire definition of being concurrent is doing work in parallel .

   > Multiprocessing is the way to do parallelism. Deviating from that should be an exception Unless you have a language that doesn't break down when you use threads. Threads are unquestionably easier and better to use for multiprocess

   Been doing something like this but instead of a custom parser, I've been building it against clang's own AST instead of reinventing the wheel.

   No... Developers are really easy to impress. Show them something that will save them time and effort to make something and they will flock around it. You give them a tool that "automagically" does something tedious they used to do and makes

   Everyone is picking their sides in this battle it seems. I wonder what chrome for iOS is going to use (given that it's more just a wrapper around UIWebView with some chrome like features).

    Congrats Firebase! The new iOS API is a great improvement from the beta days!

    I was at Costco and spotted this on all the demo machines for windows: http://distilleryimage6.s3.amazonaws.com/b97e94147e0311e29a8... Someone had installed "classic start menu" on all the machines. These machines are offline, so I'm assu

    I'm cofused by what "executable" means in this context with markdown. Is this some kind of documentation support for coffeescript? or is the code executable in the blocks in the markdown script and literate mode is a way to invoke "document

    That was for the microformat for logo. It was rejected because use rel="icon" type="image/svg+xml" already existed which is what this standard seems to push.

    Traditional news does with the AP and Reuters news wires. Hacker News is a newswire of the tech world.

    I know Github banned bots, but I don't think it would be unreasonable to write one to warn all these users.

    I didn't realize this was sarcasm. Rare find on hacker news. Better access to the cookie controls without hunting in preference panels would be nice, but I'm sure extensions can fix that.

    A shell script like the vocoder one in the article, this works: ping google.com | while read line; do echo $line | sed -n 's/^.*time=\(.*$\).*$/\1/p' | xargs say done Says the ping time to google out loud on a Mac.

    Hey Matt, I have some amazing tricks for you but I want to save it for a Cocoaheads talk first. :-) We should get around to doing another. Reimplementing the runtime and foundation and hacking on our Clang fork at Apportable the last 6 mont

    It's situational and experience plays into intuition. For example, I gave my mom a Microsoft Surface tablet I was lent for RT dev this weekend. It was in the classic desktop but I had a mapping webpage open in IE that responded to most touc

    Nothing wrong with being bold and trying new ideas but obvious is only really qualifiable via user testing. It's simple thing to do to see if your product is actually usable. My method is to get 3 random craigslist people and pay them $50 b

    This is wrong. How the hell did we learn "pinch to zoom" on the iPhone/iPad was a thing? We were shown! Lots and lots of demos to re-enforce the action and get users accustom to a thing is fine if that experience doesn't frustrate the user

    unfortunately it ships with older 3.1 version and not 3.2 so for porting it's not the greatest. You can use clang without google's changes just fine though (just have to get the PIC and pie flags right). A few bugs fixed with C++ on android
