Developing the same app for both platforms is a Bad Thing. I want Android apps on Android, iPhone apps on iPhone. Mixing never works out well in the long term.

I kind of see the utility of having screenshotted rects remain visible. I personally will stick with Cmd+Shift+4 since it does the screenshot-with-bounds and saves to desktop by default. Maybe I just don't see what the extra value is here?

I've used Uber over a dozen times in Atlanta. I've used each of the three tiers of service as well, and in varying traffic conditions. I used Uber, and UberX whenever it was available, morning and night going to Dragon*Con in downtown Atlanta (read: bad traffic) and every time they were punctual and the trip was quick. I typically wait no more than 10 minutes for a driver of any tier.

We're both just a data point, but I'm surprised you've had such a bad experience where I now refuse taxi service in favor of Uber. The quality difference is night and day.

I expect to press the back button and land on the previous page, namely, this comments thread.

> On the day the mice were born, scientists injected them with a small molecule known as a sonic hedgehog pathway agonist.

Obviously I had to investigate a gene called Sonic Hedgehog and how it could come to have such a name. From the wiki[0]

>The hh loss of function mutant phenotype causes the embryos to be covered with denticles (small pointy projections), resembling a hedgehog.

I'm glad to see a lack of temerity in a medical article, especially when the results seem so very promising. Nonetheless this is a really great result.

I disagree with you regarding avoiding using the command line. I enjoy working in terminal and to the extent possible do as much as I can in there. I also try to understand what is happening "behind the scenes" when working in a GUI.

The way I look at a GUI is that it is built entirely on terminal functions. I see you disagree, but I don't know how a GUI could be created without being built on something at a lower level. Something has to cause it to work, somewhere between bits and hardware, and the screen. Double click to open file? Same as `open file`. Find and replace in a text editor? Same as sed or `s//`.

A GUI can make it easier to do those things, but not always. For example I find using git in a GUI to be a worse experience than it's command line counterpart. I'm more at home with `git diff` than whatever built in attempt at improvement is available. I'd rather edit and resolve conflicts in vim than a visual editor (even XCode which is a pretty nice diff tool).

In short I just don't see myself ever moving off of terminal, and I would never see knowledge of it as a handicap. On the contrary, I'm always looking to learn how to do something new and powerful in it.

What's the context around this? Is this a huge problem? It seems like it's just Xerox announcing a patch - rather mundane and routine.

>the idea that kids who learned to type a magic command to launch games on C64 have more useful knowledge than kids brought up on Mac/Windows is frankly stupid.

>children that used Commodores or TRS-80s or DOS knew a lot more about how their computers worked, on average, than those of the same age that use Windows or MacOS

He said they know more about how their computer works, not that they have more useful knowledge. Would you disagree?

Can you elaborate more on using that line? The purpose of using that as I read it is to say "Yes, I can attempt to implement that new/extra feature, but if I am unable to do so within the original project schedule, there will be an extra fee for my time." Is that the intent?

That was Gametap and they did not succeed. Maybe someone else will come along and do it better.

I already got a payment from a friend there. It works.

You can set the warnings to only appear on debug builds. Would that fix the CI issue?

Could you?

Those stories always make for a good read. I'm interested in examples if you can think of any.

Half the stuff on my storyboards aren't even connected. I treat it like a big nib file. It's excellent for having everything displayed in front of you, in one place, and you can add segues and other storyboard magic as needed.

I think the difference is the command vs the product. Even the git homepage refers to it in uppercase almost everywhere [0]. A similar example would be capitalizing Java everywhere, but using java for commands.

On your last question, it took me a minute to get that those various "Above" or "Below" correspond to the notes they represent, A and B. The pitch is revealed both in the symbol and in the position on the staff. I found that pretty useful, certainly easier to read than homogenous black dots where you only have spatial information.

You don't think it's important to have accurate price history to sell something?

The way that reads it seems valid to create a virtual instance of osx for development.

Assuming you still develop for iOS, what is your setup for developing while using linux?

I recently purchased a projector from amazon. I actually used the original price in my comparisons. For example, a heavily discounted projector with few reviews left me wondering the reason for the discount. Overstock? Overpriced for its actual performance? I felt much safter purchasing a projector with a relatively modest discount.

It doesn't work out of the box though. Have to run this:

ln -s "/Applications/Sublime Text 2.app/Contents/SharedSupport/bin/subl" ~/bin/subl

>Efficiency from Keeping your Fingers on the Home Row

I prefer to use just keys. I find the context switch distracting.

>I can’t stress how bad of an editor vanilla Vim is. Plugins are essential to make Vim usable.

I love vanilla vim. I used it for a long time that way. Even now I barely have any plugins running, just YouCompleteMe and a couple others.

>If you want to write a plugin you have to deal with Vimscript.

I thought one can write in Python and other languages for plugins now?

>Everyone remaps Leader from backslash to comma.

I didn't.

>Vim is hideous by design.

I find the minimalism allows me to work without distraction. If you hate it so much, vim bindings are available in other editors. I use XVim for Xcode and some other plugin in Eclipse.

>To code in Vim, you have to keep Vim in your head just as much as the code that you’re editing. You have to constantly think about what you’re doing.

I barely think about the things I'm doing anymore. And I've only been at vim for about a year.

This blog post needs a giant [citation needed]. So many unjustified claims that are really just his opinions. Just use Sublime and get back to doing something productive.

If you wanted to access a company's server, this actually sounds like a reasonable attack vector. Get malware on someone's computer and use it to perform SQL injections. It depends on what information the attacker is after.

Coding in Sinatra over Rails won't make you ill. What are the implications when the only apparent downside is that a non-technical person is getting the product in a different framework than he wanted?

Good discussion here [0]. I didn't know either until reading it.

Is it 1+3 or 1+2? Title does not match content.

Lots of references to filling the void Bufferbox left. It doesn't seem to be an acquihire, so they still exist. What's the difference between you two?
