Why is the date set in the future? April 11?

This article seems lacking some examples. I have found that such ideas are nice in theory, but when it comes to practice, they tend to fall short.

So the author says that it's a good idea to write logbooks, and that it will help. But no mention on how it would help, and what would you actually do with them after you write them up.

A few concrete examples would have been nice.

If the idea is to help you solve the problem more efficiently, why should it be formalized? as opposed to scribbling notes on a notepad that you throw away at the end of the day.

Whenever I read a similar story, there always seems to be a piece of information missing.

Like I'm pretty sure the interviewer wasn't just out to get you and simply refused to look at your application because that's just how they do things.

Note (and I've seen this in a lot of apps/sites) that you should expect to not receive an email from a Facebook login. I explicitly do not share my Facebook email, and every website that wants to do Facebook login fails to notice that and ends up in an undefined state.

Your site `/dieu/rest-auth/facebook/` endpoint crashes (because I assume it expects an email and doesn't get one)

In Canada (Quebec) people are generally more relaxed and drivers will wait for pedestrians even if it means they miss their light.

As far as I've seen, happy user have little incentive to go and leave a good review. But the users who have had some annoyances with the app are definitely going to take it to the reviews. This leaves you with negatively biased reviews a lot of the time.

probably the whole Elephant for the logo.

You can download the app in iTunes, find the .ipa file and extract it to look what's inside.

Edit: also it's not the actual size that you will download on your phone. Visit the AppStore from your device and it will show you the correct size for you.

You're looking for "Akbar."

"Akhbar" means "has more experience"

I keep hearing this, but here's my anecdote.

I signed up for AdWords a long time ago and created a test campaign just to see what it looks like, but never completed the process, so I didn't have a payment method entered.

Fast forward till start of this year, I created an AdMob account to put ads in one iOS game I have, and apparently as soon as I entered my credit card info, the old AdWords campaign started running and was taking $200/day. I noticed after two days and immediately stopped it and contacted support. They quickly got back to me, a person called me and explained that the issue was an error from their side, and they refunded me the amount. It took three weeks for the refund to occur, and during that time the guy called me at least once per week to keep me in the loop. I was surprised with this after all I've heard about Google's support. But I guess that's just one data point in the pool.

Except there weren't any animal rights activists crying out for a boycott.

I think the parent is talking about android views. which are XML documents and almost everyone writes the XML instead of mucking about with the visual editor.

It's not just an issue with Twitter. Every time someone visits Canada's Wonderland I get tagged in an Instagram photo.

Heads up for anyone on limited bandwidth: The page loads over 25Mb of javascript in order to display anything.

2 years. I built ( https://itunes.apple.com/app/id714882169?mt=8 ) three years ago as an idea to test shooting videos at 60fps on the iPhone. At the time there was no iPhone 6 and you couldn't shoot 60fps videos with the default camera app. I did zero advertising of the app, and it's currently bringing in around $100/month.

I have a major update that I've been working on for the last 2 months, but other than that it seems to be running all by itself.

isn't JavaScript what jQuery is written with?

You clearly haven't seen the regex that matches emails according to RFC822:

Behold: http://www.ex-parrot.com/pdw/Mail-RFC822-Address.html

The analogy is weak. You are not vandalizing the ads if you're blocking them. When you vandalize the billboard, no one else can read it. When you block ads on your own computer/network, no one else is affected.

I know this is a bit late, and the content is in arabic, but check this: http://www.saidaonline.com/

That's an actual news website.

Letters in Arabic have different rendering depending on where they lie in the word; at the start, middle, end, or following/preceding certain characters.

This is the main problem you see sometimes in movies where they try to show something in Arabic and they get the rendering wrong. They probably get each letter on its own and try to construct the words like that, where the letters do not join and the whole thing looks like a mess.

The parent is talking about them penalizing sites that use such hidden text that would normally show to the crawler but be invisible to an actual human looking at the page.

The patterns picked up by the training don't seem to offer too much variation than a simple Markov chain. The author finds the generated texts similar to a conversation, because that's what they're looking for. But they look just as random as simply selecting the next random word that comes after the current word from the training set.

Nice. This would actually make for a nice iPad app.

I've had this idea for quite a while for git visualisation tool where you open a project and can open a file and scrub through the timeline and see the changes live.

The fact that this idea is better suited inside an actual code editor (and not just a standalone app) and me not being brave enough to tackle writing a code editor is what is stopping me from doing it.

Not to mention that, in the country I live in, it is guaranteed that while you're idly rolling forward, some asshole will cut you off and take your place so that he can win that precious 2 seconds.

nice game. An annoying bug though, most of the times when the game is interrupted (by receiving a phonecall, or simply clicking the home button then opening again) nothing is clickable anymore and you have to kill it and re-run in order to get it to work again.

After you open that bar, click on the title area, drag up while still holding and release outside the wooden desk. Now you can continue typing the title with the view in perspective, and see it update live in the title of the file.

Back in the days I worked a while as a web designer, spent my days in Photoshop, learned all the shortcuts.

So I was showing the design to this client who always wanted to modify things, and he said he doesn't like the orange a lot and if we can tweak it. I had a red layer, and a yellow layer over it with opacity, so I clicked on the yellow layer, and started pressing random numbers on the numpad (pressing numbers changes the value of the layer's opacity) so the colors were jumping randomly from red to orange to yellow and the hues in between, finally I settled back on the exact value that was before, and that seemed to satisfy the client. The color was now perfect.

It probably depends on the type of programming and the challenge it presents.

A typical month, for me, has probably 5% exciting programming work. The rest is just tedious churn that you inevitably have to do to support the exciting bit.

You do realize this is the Game Center message and not actually from the app?

Reminds me of Parallels Plesk and their horrible ui
