I hope the protocol used is less buggy than AirPlay. AirPlay is very shaky with many apps. I am not sure though if it's the protocol's problem or the app's.
Don't wanna start an off-topic conversation but in spite of being somewhat of a Google fanboy I'm actively using (and have set as default) Safari instead of Chrome on my 2010 macbook pro for any page or site that is "heavy". My usage of Chrome has now shrunk to scenarios that involve heavy dependence on omni-search.
Let's say an average person has a great idea but to come up with that idea she had to go through a lot of schooling and industry experience. Also she needed to earn enough to have a solid 11-13K bank balance. I have a feeling to attain these objectives that person would have to be in her mid-30s. How does a person at that age naturally adapt to a new country, when all she has experienced and adapted to so far is another culture in another country?
I think the key to nailing this her way is to become a time management nazi and to be profoundly efficient and productive in every category. And that is where most of us fail unfortunately.
How is a developer's mailing address not a sensitive information for that developer? How does a tech company get away making a blanket assumption like that?
I doubt these matter much to people outside the tech world. Everybody more or less now knows that Chrome is crazy fast. Also, I'm pretty sure the day Google decided to launch an entire OS based on this browser, everybody should have assumed that they wouldn't be that dogmatic about standards anymore.
Yeah but he seems to take the liberty to speculate that passengers were being selfish in lugging their carry-ons down the aisle while evacuating and endangering others' lives. Unless anybody actually complained about this being an issue in the evacuation process, he's not sticking to the facts either. So please, let's stop with the "let's not speculate" garbage. Everybody will do it. He's just trying to cover for his industry and the people in his profession.
That's actually good. But the issue I was highlighting was about making calls. Not that Hangouts cannot make a phone call - it's just that I don't want to remember all the numbers of my contacts.
The worst thing about the new Google Hangouts is that it doesn't expose the phone numbers associated with some of the Google Contacts. So in order to make a phone call, I'd have to recall the number and type it in the search bar. Typing the name in the search bar won't reveal that person's phone number either. This is more intuitively done in the old Google Chat which has a phone button which reveals the numbers. So sometimes I can call and sometimes I can chat with the same person. And searching the name reveals number(s) as well.
The world was sorely missing tiny videos with filters. I think Instagram+Facebook is a great example of colo-fucking-ssal waste of math and engineering talent.
I will definitely give this book a try. I'm in the middle of learning from the NerdRanch book (never had the time to keep up with the Stanford course).
Any general thoughts from the community about the best way to balance between _any_ book and the Apple documentation (especially the guides)?
