I have seen many apps (on all platforms -- iPhone, Android, OS X, Windows, etc.) that deviate from user expectations. Ultimately, meeting user expectations is the responsibility of the developer not the framework. HTML…
HTML+JS libraries -- such as jquery -- are just fine for interactive document publishing, but are no replacement for Cocoa, Android, or Qt. The lack of common re-usable and extensible UI components is a travesty.…
I wouldn't exactly call them un-targeted; the recipients have asked to receive them. Also, this is an audience that is open to using the offers as a way to get ideas for new experiences.
Sure, it is fair to call this out and I am glad people are doing so. What I find off-putting is the way in which the commenter did so. There is clearly no interest in a civil discussion when someone suggests that the…
No, it's not like saying that at all. Playing or winning the lottery involves nothing but money. An acquisition involves major changes to an organization's structure, its products or services, and the lives of all its…
I wish I could downvote you.
I've honestly never understood why startups want to be acquired (besides the monetary gain for individual employees). Doesn't acquisition often destroy or dilute the very successes they've worked so hard to build? (I…
This is a truly horrifying prospect.
Something similar occurred once for me as well.
This is much more than screenshots and jQuery does not eliminate the need for interactive cross-browser testing in any way.
The company I work for has email and phone access to a Facebook developer for questions, but we are part of a beta program. When I browsed the API on my own it was an utter disaster on par with the article's description.
Maybe treating any ad network component as a "sub-app" with separate permissions would make it more obvious when a request for network access is unwarranted. As to how something like that might be implemented... I have…
It would be nice if the article actually named the app rather than just the developer. Does anyone know the app name?
To each their own. "Great" is subjective.
I find the frequent major changes in the Ruby ecosystem to be quite frustrating. That's not to say that I wish this progress wouldn't occur... I just wish it would occur in a more controlled manner. Documentation seems…
Thanks for posting this update.
Well said. As soon as an application hits ~100 routes everyone would be writing their own routing layer just to be able to flexibly manage it all. Convention born of common usage is a strength of Rails.
Agreed. As I see it, this actually limits the power of JavaScript rather than extending it. Edit: I like to see people pushing and extending a language so I appreciate the author's effort... but I think it is misguided…
Not so smooth on Chrome/Ubuntu (on Mac hardware) either. Cool experiment.
I use rackspace hosted email as well. Very happy with it.
There are many reasons to pay for a dating service beyond the number of users, such as a preference in any of these categories: 1) communication process / privacy controls 2) interface features (filtering options, etc.)…
Great video. Just a warning to any viewers: I think it might be a bit out of date now. I don't think node has promises anymore and I think they also have blocking and non-blocking versions for most operations (meaning…
I don't think open source makes that consideration irrelevant. It is an important factor when choosing a framework. I would bet that most of the users and probably a good portion of the contributors are using a…
Looks nice, but I'm not sure why JavaScript needs to be like Ruby.
