The app’s UI is tailored for the device and therefore more convenient, if just by a small margin. I’m happy to pay €4 for that.

It will create a market opportunity for people who will make the torrents available even to the users that aren’t tech-savy.

I like to browse some of the Stack Exchange sites simply to educate myself. From this viewpoint an iPad app makes sense, although I would welcome a write API, too.

Congratulations, this is a very nice app. Finally somebody did more than just an ugly barebones iOS wrapper on top of the API. I just wish I had a similar app for the whole Stack Exchange.

The problem with all wrappers and extensions is that you're no longer using vanilla Git, which probably breaks other tools like GUI clients. Plus the wrappers and extensions come with their own caveats, so it's still perfectly possible to g

The problem is that most people watch movies to escape from real life. As I understand it, the problem is that movies are an illusion and in order for them to work, the viewers must buy into it, which is apparently a bit harder with highe

Do you play media with high framerate on the TV? Because the display's framerate does not matter much if you still feed it 24-fps signal.

Performance isn’t measured just by the language tools, it depends on the whole stack. It’s quite probable that the Ruby/Rails stack is better suited to high-performance sites simply because it has more installations and the kinks have been

But then in Ruby if you want to you can encapsulate behaviour and your intent in objects instead of types - as concepts become more complex, you may introduce an object which encapsulates the data and provides checked interfaces for it. I

He’s quoting, so that it’s obvious that he’s not the author. And I’d say that most people here know immediately where the quote comes from. If not, it’s trivial to find the source and more information: http://duckduckgo.com/?q=Julia+uttere

It’s a reasonable price for the convenient abstraction. What’s interesting is the size of the binaries and the compression ratio of the whole thing (0.2): zoul@naima:llvm-dcpu16 $ du -sh * 286M bin 13M include 522M lib

Any chances of getting rid of the redirects in search results? It's so annoying that I can't simply copy the result link URL and paste without getting some crazy Google tracking URL instead. It's such an obvious fail that I can't see how it

Is it really that paramount to keep most of the web around? The obvious knee-jerk answer is that it’s a great resource about our history, but honestly, I would not care if most of the web simply perished the natural way. It’s only seldom

There is a big difference in UI design for the mobile devices and for the desktop. On the desktop you can often specify the UI using automatic layout features and the result works. On mobile devices the limited screen estate forces you to w

As for the GC speed, how do GC and manual memory management compare to the Automatic Reference Counting system that was introduced recently into Objective-C? It looks to me as ARC has the advantages of both worlds: it relieves the programme

People fret over language syntax too much. In most sane languages including Objective-C you simply forget about the syntax after a few months. What’s much more important is the conceptual complexity: the number of language features and the

Similar situation here. I am happy with the CLI, but was looking for a nice Mac GUI for our non-programmer guys. I so wish GitHub for Mac was it, because it's very simple compared to the alternatives (GitBox, SourceTree, Tower). But after

Can't speak for all of them, but if a language has "there's more than one way to do it" as its main motto, I guess the people from the ecosystem are less likely to attack other languages.

According to Mike’s measurements I linked above a cached Objective-C message send is faster than C++ virtual method call, so in a loop both languages should come pretty close. You can also get a pointer to the function implementing a meth
