Thanks for pointing that out!
cvursache··on An Interview Question Too Many Developers Get Wrong
How nice of you to share! Thank you Mr. latch (:
cvursache··on An Interview Question Too Many Developers Get Wrong
Oh man, that interview question gives one hacker the freaks. After reading it, my biological reaction was like: wow, I've got stuff to learn before becoming proficient in Computer Science as a college dropout.
cvursache··on Mailbox iOS app is a security fail
Don't have any data on this, but I know a bunch of not-so-tech-savy people that don't use lock codes. Their data's then as naked as a greek nude.
cvursache··on Learning C: Why (38 == '&' && 046 == 0x26 ) is true
Thanks for pointing that out (: The blogpost explains how in learning C after years with PHP, MySQL, JavaScript and Objective-C one discovers little things about CS that weren't visible before while working on a higher abstraction level.
cvursache··on Apple’s Official Technician Guide Leaked for the iPhone 4, iPhone 4S
Reading the document kind of felt like being a journalist with a piece of highly secret leaked government data in his hands.
cvursache··on The Burden of iOS
Oh, there are a lot of serious problems with iOS. After 3 years on the platform, you start to see that restriction-based badness all over the place. But one shouldn't forget that Apple has built an incredible product with one of the most secure OSs in the world and offers one of the best UI SDKs available. Those facts alone make me want to cut Apple some slack from being such assholes when allowing users to make more low-level decisions.
cvursache··on The Burden of iOS
It's an interesting claim to say that iOS has aged poorly. I tend to agree that the use of skeumorphic design does make the standard apps look a bit out-of-date, but is that really a problem? How many powerusers are really bothered by this? If you don't like the Podcast app, just get Downcast. If you don't like Calendar, just get Fantastical. And using your claim that skeumorphism helps smartphone newcomers adopt the platform more easily, isn't the current situation a sort of a win-win for the iOS ecosystem? Newcomers get an easy entry and more versatile users can enjoy the great results of third-party developers.
cvursache··on Four Hours of Concentration
Those are good points and I agree with everything you said. And even though anecdotes are informative, they may not be enough to make big important claims about how people should manage their mental energy.
cvursache··on Four Hours of Concentration
Even though a lot of smart people agree that we can only get a few hours of real concentration a day, not many of them link to scientific papers that support this claim. I would agree that the claim "feels right". But in absence of a real experiment, how valuable is this insight really? Maybe useful to keep the idea in the back of one's head, but seems far from a definitive answer.
cvursache··on Show HN: My Weekend Project: One-Click Developer Portfolio Website
Sorry to point this out, but you sound more like a recruiter than a designer. I'm sure people would answer your questions if you would ask them a little bit less bluntly.

My answers to your questions are: 1. I showcase the projects I've been working on 2. I don't describe the projects, just point a link to them, they should describe themselves (README, code comments, etc.) 3. Someone very skilled to make them good money with little hassle

cvursache··on Wikimedia Launches WikiVoyage
It works surprisingly good. Tried it out for my hometown "Suceava", a small forgotten city from northern Romania. The information one gets is really useful and seems to be mostly accurate.
cvursache··on Google's Street View car hits donkey, keeps driving
The donkey was basically asking for it. What was it doing in the middle of nowhere, anyways? Probably slacking while another donkey from China was doing the work for it for a sixth of the salary.

Looks like the star programmer took advices from "The 4-Hour Workweek" one step too far.
