One problem: It thinks that it doesn't take any time to walk from, say, Powell station to a street-level bus, so it gives you connections that you can't possibly make. This is the same problem that almost all transit apps have, unfortunately.

Edit: Also, it seems to give me really bizarre suggestions. Right now, for a trip to Alamo Square Park from downtown SF, it suggests that I take Bart from Montgomery to Powell (that's one stop) and then somehow catch Muni bus #5 in 2 minutes. A much better option would be to just take Muni bus #21 which comes past the Montgomery station in 5 minutes and heads straight to Alamo Square Park.

The quest for a good transit app continues, sadly.

Edit 2: More bizarre suggestions: From Montgomery to Alamo Square Park, it suggests this: http://imgur.com/bYLpJJI instead of taking bus #5 in 2 / 11/ or 19 minutes, which goes directly from Montgomery to Alamo Square. Also, it thinks that it takes 0 minutes to get off of Bart at 16th and Mission and make it to bus #22...

They don't. Open a support request.

Only in Gemfile.lock. If you've hard-coded a version in Gemfile, you'll need to update it.

Eg. These will update fine:

    gem "rails"
    gem "rails", "~> 3.2"

This wont:

    gem "rails", "= 3.2.10"

It's not about "fanbois" (whatever the hell that means), it's about the fact that articles about Apple attract orders-of-magnitude more clicks, and PR-reposting sites like Mashable worship at the alter of pageviews.

Does that constitute financial advice?

What makes you think today's minor fluctuation in price (still down from yesterday's open) is in any way connected with this announcement?

Legitimate question: Aside from the obvious culprits (Android phones, tablets, Nooks, and Kindle Fires), what other devices are considered "Android" devices?

I think you missed the entire point of the article. The author clearly explains why she believes that the above statement is the case, why Carly was so popular but failed to become a lasting commercial success. You can agree or disagree on her reasoning, but leveling a Hacker News-style personal attack on her adds nothing to the discussion.

That save icon. In 2012. Why?

… and writing, drawing, painting, designing, composing and playing music, editing spreadsheets and databases, building presentations, taking photos, editing photos, emailing, chatting, editing movies, and so on.

Yep. Only for watching YouTube. You bet.

You absolutely can do it without COUNT. Just increment a counter value, the same way they're doing it in Redis.

This doesn't make any sense to me. Why store the values in Redis and use Ruby to do simple math? If you're using Postgres already, just store the stats in Postgres and use an aggregate or window function to grab the stats. (And collect those stats with triggers, in the first place.) If you're using Mongo already, just grab your stats with a map reduce query.

Did you even read the article?

Why not just search for "sfo" or "airport", both of which return the airport correctly on iOS 6's maps? Typing out "san francisco international" and leaving out "airport" seems incredibly contrived.

I find it interesting that the linked article is substantiative and provides data and thought-out conclusions derived from the data, whereas you replied with a snarky 3 word response. That's much of Hacker News in a nutshell.

In a full week of usage, I've yet to run into any actual, material problems with the new maps (daily usage in San Francisco). I'm using The Transit App for transit directions, and it integrates nicely. Sometimes business locations are 10-20 yards off, but that's about it. I've already noticed some of the problems I've reported getting fixed.

Depending on where you live, I think you'll find all the peanut gallery moaning about the new maps to be a bit exaggerated. Try actually using it for a while. It's decent (at least where I am).

(In fact, the new iOS maps are a godsend for transit directions in San Francisco. iOS 5's transit directions use the "scheduled" times instead of their actual times. If you've ever been to SF, you'll know that busses and trains don't even try to operate on a schedule -- they just come and go whenever. With iOS 6, I can use an app that uses their actual times -- The Transit App. I'm much happier with this setup, even though it requires an extra tap to select the app when getting directions.)

> rather than continue to pay licensing fees until they got it right

It's not like you just buy the data at Wal-Mart -- you have to negotiate licensing terms with Google and the terms that Google wanted were, reportedly, onerous.

I had the same problem. On a cursory run through, the app seemed pre-alpha in quality. Most things didn't seem to work, and what did work was couched in awkward and annoying animations and poor image quality (especially maps).

Just a heads up: that JS-induced header flickering is distracting as hell. Use `position: fixed;` instead of a JavaScript hack that constantly flickers the header in and out of the window.

Have you contacted Heroku Support?

Here's benchmarks from a year ago (iPhone 4S): http://www.anandtech.com/show/4951/iphone-4s-preliminary-ben...

There's more context and links here: http://www.macrumors.com/2012/09/16/iphone-5-benchmarks-appe...

TL;DR: iPhone 4S scores 623, iPad 2 scores 751. The iPhone 5, linked here, hits 1,601, according to Geekbench.

It's gotten to the point where it doesn't even surprise me anymore that this kind of tripe is the #1 top story on Hacker News now. Hacker News is becoming the "Ow, My Balls!" of the tech world.

By default, Power Nap only turns on limited features when plugged in to a power source.

Why not make one and submit a pull request?

Read the article. The whole article. It doesn't say what you think it says.

The problem is that there's not enough money there. Twitter needs 12 - 13 figures, not the paltry 6-7 of these "partners".

I'm not sure where you're getting your information, but Apple stock was up at the end of trading today and it's still up in after hours trading.

This kind of stuff is incredibly easy to look up.
