It's still in beta dude. Night and day difference between beta and gold master. If you're turned away from a brand new language due to an IDE's autocomplete, then you're in for a world of hurt when you start learning all the Cocoa APIs.

> Pair programming - free training for junior developers, a waste of time for senior developers.

I disagree. That's not how you build a team. Also, senior developers who can't pair program, aren't senior developers. That means you can't communicate, or at least you don't want to, even if it's talking about code you don't want to. That's not how you become a lead/architect.

Maybe I'm wrong but it wasn't so much designing as it was complaining about the design of various devices around him. I remember something about a face mask and the pulse reader on his finger. I'm not sure though. It came off as he was being a bit difficult rather than offering up design suggestions.

I dig. I'd be curious to see your other implementation that you show at the end.

That said, I still have a hard time seeing how Pop is much different than iOS 7's animate with springs API.

Will the KitKat update include BTLE support? I'm guessing no.

Can you use HipChat for free for personal use or is it strictly enterprise?

Wasn't there some sort of issue where they were mining user data without our consent? Many of us were having to send emails directly to Quora support requesting that our accounts be deleted.

But I would rather drive a nail into my eye than write in Eclipse.

maybe they'll get a frame for it.

What exactly are you wanting? Does the world owe us all something?

This is one of the more whiny-er pieces I've read from the NYT.

There's going to be rich people out there. Get over it and stop acting like the cards are always stacked against you. Yeah, it sucks not being loaded. Yeah, I wish I were rich. Sure, things would be easier. Do I spin my wheels thinking about the inheritance baby boomer kids will get from their rich parents? No. I'll spend my time thinking how I'll build my own 'empire'.

Absolutely.

I won't lie, I've totally stagnated in playing because most learning resources are awful.

Always be selling.

While it's cool, they only have 7 songs or artists. All of these artists aren't particularly well known. Usually when I see stuff like this, I assume that getting the rights to the songs people actually want to learn how to play is too expensive, so this sort of thing never really takes off. Well, not never, I just have never seen something as cool as this really get going.

I would love to practice guitar with something like this. Hopefully they start to offer more songs.

I've always wondered how to make the "scrolling" type responsive websites. Does bootstrap or weebly make that easy?

I'm an iOS dev and I've literally never touched web development.

You know, you can use more than one storyboard in your app.

Interesting to see the conversations in the court room. You'd think they'd be more intellectual or high minded. You'd think they would cite specific law nomenclature or cases. But it really is just off the cuff opinions being thrown about.

Dude I have no idea why no one is recognizing this.

Why San Antonio over Dallas/Houston?

I haven't had great experiences there personally. The conversations aren't the most enlightening and there's a lot of ripping on new developers asking obvious questions. I'm a decent developer at this point, but early on, asking questions in there wasn't pleasant. I'm a big proponent of encouraging new developers of asking lots of questions and those that discourage it are really not helping the community.

That said, it's not all bad. I still hop in every now and then.

Macbook Air.

Because the other companies will pay you to leave?

Not sure. Like I said, I'm an iOS dev. I think the most recent version of android does?

I agree. I work at a small mobile dev shop. At least 10 people there own Glass. No one cares.

I disagree.

I own Glass. 99.9% of people who see me wearing them want to know more about them. They want to try them on and experience glass. And of course, I let them give Glass a whirl. They love it. Yes it's WAY too pricey but, it's still awesome. I don't find them that unattractive. I look at it like, "I'm at a sporting/concert event and I obviously want to take pictures, so I'm wearing this, which is more convenient." Once I explain that to people, they totally get why I'm wearing Glass.

Glass makes sense and it's a step in the right direction for wearable computing. At least for now.

My gripes:

It needs Bluetooth LE. I'm an iOS developer. I need Bluetooth LE to support notifications at least.

iOS is hamstrung until I can send iMessages. I don't see that changing.

Swiping through all the cards can be kind of a nuisance.

Battery life.

Google is a software company so, I imagine the more Apple opens up their notifications etc, the better Glass will get.

Groupon is awfully run. I ordered some pants for my wife two weeks ago. They literally just shipped. I have no idea when they'll arrive.

Their app is shit and it always has been. It's painfully slow.

Their products are usually not good. I rarely can trust that a thumbnail represents exactly what I'll be buying.

I was thinking about getting the Karma actually. The 14 dollars for 1GB is cheaper than tethering.

Yep. Article lost me at that point.

IMO it's quite possible to do well on the app store. Sometimes someone builds a great app, and it does marginally well, but Google or Apple notices it. They recognize that it's an interesting product and will likely at least call you about a job. Which in my book, would be somewhat of a success.

Oh Lord. Their videos could use some work. Not trying to diminish their work though. I'm really happy that multiple companies are tackling the affordable, fuel efficient, car void.

I found this piece that discusses their financial viability. http://cleantechnica.com/2013/08/19/paul-elio-motors-release...

Uh. What?

Yeah I disagree completely. Apple encourages innovation. There are loads of apps in the app store doing very interesting things with iOS that Apple likely did not expect. So then what happens? They get featured.

OP sounds upset because he was rejected from the App Store. Tough shit. It happens. Apple can do that, like it or not. Android comes with its own set of problems. Enjoy java.
