From what I understand(still a newbie) , Dispatcher helps organized store dependencies , the waitFor()
mkawia··on A Murky Road Ahead for Android, Despite Market Dominance
I wish they'd replace Java stuff with something like Go , just get rid of Art/Dalvik . Java is very verbose and the xmls and build tools are all really hard work.

I am obviously being naive here. It probably can't be done

mkawia··on A Murky Road Ahead for Android, Despite Market Dominance
Android can run on $40 phones and therefore widely used .To me that's the most exciting thing about android ,that's almost as huge as what Microsoft did in the 90s ,you know making actual impact. There are more people talking to Google voice than Siri
mkawia··on A Murky Road Ahead for Android, Despite Market Dominance
TL:DR

A lot of poor people use android , poor people don't spend a lot and don't click many ads.Therefore Android is doomed.

mkawia··on Atom's autocomplete just got better
Not a big fan of proprietary software especially software development tools .Imagine if Apache was proprietary, the internet wouldn't be the same.
mkawia··on Using Go at The New York Times [video]
I read/heard yahoo suffers from this problem ,one of the reason Marissa Mayer is struggling.
mkawia··on Did I ever mention that I fucking hate the fucking web
It's still frustrating ,because google did the hard part(storing 8 gb plus data) and mess up the easy part it's angering.
mkawia··on A Java EE Startup: Filtering information with zeef.com
What's wrong if that platform is improving . There are so many really good java libraries to play with .

I for instance wanted to build a webapp with the StanfordNLP .

mkawia··on A Java EE Startup: Filtering information with zeef.com
Working with Java Servlet is very hard to be productive in it , Simple things that I took for granted like routing,templating,user management and processing forms with binaries ie form-data is really hard.

But the static typing is really good ,ofcourse the language too .Maybe I should I've tried Jersey .

mkawia··on Pinterest’s Problem: Getting Men to Commit
yes they are ,Men too.

Infact Men are targeted way more openly.

mkawia··on Pinterest’s Problem: Getting Men to Commit
It would be ok if they were a niche app/website. But I don't think they aren't.
mkawia··on Google Glass sales halted
Why don't they just pivot . GoPro is not a mainstream product but they are very successful
mkawia··on Whois on any .fr domain displays “je suis charlie”
They are not an organization ,it's just a group of brothers and friends who got angry .

By showing them you are actually offending other people(like me) who just want to surf the internet without seeing those awful images.

mkawia··on Google Is Donating €250k to Charlie Hebdo
There's good satire. Religious even ,it can even be blasphemous and it will all be a non religious person being non religious-sy.

But inciting people and/or depicting people as terrorist only ends up bad and nothing's good ever comes out of it .

mkawia··on Google Is Donating €250k to Charlie Hebdo
I think this one of those let's agree to disagree moment .

I know of that context and I still drawing a black person as a monkey is racist.

mkawia··on Google Is Donating €250k to Charlie Hebdo
yeah ,I phrased that wrongly .
mkawia··on Google Is Donating €250k to Charlie Hebdo
If you can categorically say they didn't draw those cartoons ie a black person as a monkey , Then yes I'd wrong .
mkawia··on Google Is Donating €250k to Charlie Hebdo
It's awful what happened to them . But they are racist/bigot cartoonists . Imagine if someone attacked Rush Limbaugh it would be bad for freedom of speech but it won't change that he's a bad person like these cartoonist.

Here are those girls that were kidnapped in Nigeria http://i.kinja-img.com/gawker-media/image/upload/s--Wj8pQ_7T...

here is black Minister of Justice Christiane Taubira http://i.kinja-img.com/gawker-media/image/upload/s--2Ea5CAgX...

Freedom of speech and all that stuff ,but these people are awful

mkawia··on Why I Quit OS X – Geoff Wozniak
Is there a faster file search than in linux in the latest FileBrowser(gnome/nautilus) . It's crazy fast ,no indexing and finds files in huge hard disks in seconds .
mkawia··on Everything we know Google is working on for the new year
I just wish they'd do it for free .

No ads ,no charges.

mkawia··on Gmail blocked in China
Surveillance is not a democratic value even the US is doing it.

I can't imagine if my government blocked my gmail . I'll lose not just my email,play, my app engine websites etc etc.

mkawia··on Gmail blocked in China
what's happening in Syria(and other middle east countries) is worse than autocracy.

Autocracy over a state in chaos anyday.

mkawia··on Material Design for Bootstrap
I really really really Material design

I like that they make me think about things like depth to differentiate what's active , I like the little line in inputs ,it encourages users(me included) to fill the input,

the ripple effect is small and cheap animation and communicates to the user a click .as is with checkbox etc

the morphing transitions is their best idea , As a user I hate flickers , if you blink you miss them overlay are even worse unless you are alerting.

mkawia··on Material Design for Bootstrap
transitions , what I like most about material design is transitioning between elements ,Morphing and filling .

But this remains best implementation

mkawia··on Yahoo Mail moving to React
libaries like Bootstrap make you built less awful UI ,but very generic
mkawia··on Netflix Pulls Plug on Public API
They have special SDKs
