Scala will be enterprise-ready when there are readily available affordable Scala programmers.

If you can master Scala and write complex Scala codes, most likely enterprise crud jobs does not interest you.

Both are mature OS, ground breaking features are not expected. I'm not familiar with Android, but iOS tends to introduce new and improved API in each release that makes app development easier, there is lesser need to go down to core OS to develop your app. Beside what you mentioned, new in iOS 7: TextKit for fine typography control makes it easier to write text layout and editor; SpriteKit which is higher level framework for writing 2/2.5D games; game controller framework for standardise interface to game controller; 64-bit support; Open GL ES 3.

You must be kidding if you think iOS 7 is just aesthetic changes. So Apple iOS engineers took one year leave and left their designer colleges update iOS 6 to new look?

Easy people, don't waste your emotional energy. Microsoft has been collecting Android licensing fee for years now. Apple has the objective to kill Androids. And you think Google don't use patent to sue? These companies are all evils.

Apple will not reject your app just because you're using Dropbox. See 1Password as an example. I did an app using iCloud in an unconventional way, and got a call from Apple reviewer asking me to use Dropbox instead.

Any advice for someone evaluating React/Backbone vs Ember vs Angular?

MBP has a newer Thunderbolt 2 compare with iMac, and iMac will not see an upgrade until next spring. So the notebook is more powerful than desktop in this respect.

Acer C720 at $249: 11.6" matte 1366×768 screen, 16GB SSD, 4GB RAM, dual-band 802.11n, Haswell-based Celeron 2955U 1.4GHz dual-core CPU.

HP Chromebook 11 at $279: 11.6" IPS 1366 x 768, Samsung Exynos 5250 dual-core Cortex A15 1.7GHz + ARM Mali-T604 GPU, dual-band 802.11n, 2GB DDR3 RAM, 16GB SSD.

Acer chromebook is more attractive by spec.

Is there any sample apps that has a version written in Meteor and another using Sinatra/Flask/Whatever+other JS framework?

Is there any sample Meteor app with iOS/Android native clients (clients that use native controls rather than just a mobile web app)?

I supposed one can use carrier pigeons or trained ravens.

Is there a release schedule for ES6?

Watched Riddick in cinema last night and there was an ads for Grand Theft Auto V. It is rare to see computer game ads in theatre.

Would be great if there is insider info on the process Apple made their decisions on what features to put into new product. It definitely not just marketing driven, but a mix that includes the technical and supply chain. Material for a book.

Interestingly there is a Sidekiq compatible job queue written in Go that has a similar name: go-workers https://github.com/jrallison/go-workers

Wondering how these ruby/rails inspired work queues compare with NSQ.

I don't get iPhone 5C at that price, too close to 5S.

Even if you don't use the Touch ID and camera flash, the improved camera sensor size/aperture and processor speed in iPhone 5S is enough to justified the price difference.

Python(Django), Ruby(Rails), JavaScript(NodeJS), Go, Scala or Clojure.

If I were HP, Acer, Asus or Toshiba, I'd release one with enough storage and ram, and easy boot to Ubuntu/Mint.

> Not all countries are as fucked as the US in wanting your biometrics.

Malaysia is another country that will scan your fingerprint when you enter the country.

Beside the authentication highlighted by the article, any other use cases/problems that can be solved by nginx+lua?

Anyone knows how to bypass OS X 's Gatekeeper to launch the app? Normal app is Ctrl-click to overwrite Gatekeeper blocking. But can't Ctrl -click on the "Launch" button on the page as it pop up context menu.

WeChat is also super popular in SEA. So we have Line from Japan, WeChat from China, KakaoTalk from Korea as the leading contenders in Asia. You see TV commercials of the apps endorsed by celebrities. They are evolving from simple chat app to a full social platform with own apps and games. You can say they compete with Facebook. I overheard a teen asking his friend why he is still using Facebook. Social apps to the teens might not be utility, more like clubs. And they want to be associated with cool clubs of the day.

Just curious, what are the pros and cons to Android manufacturer to lock down a device? Are these Android manufacturer each trying to create its own platform based on an open OS?

I expect no name change this time. Microsoft will attempt again to buy Yahoo! under its new CEO, and become Microhoo!.

Current mirrorless cameras still can not compete with DSLR for sports and safari photography. Other than that I don't see the need to carry such heavy equipment. Currently using Lumix m4/3 but is tempted by Fujifilm X100s.

Tony Jaa is a hacker?

and bring skeuomorphic user interface to Windows 9? That will totally brainfuck the whole UX industry.

Obama administration == US government. True or false? Are they the same?

Would be great if there is a version for Sketch app.

Not sure if HTML is the ubiquitous programming platform for client side. It's a dream since 1990s (write once for all clients) but fail to compete decidedly by native clients of iOS/Android in this era. It's going to get worse for specialize smart devices such as smart watch, smart glass, smart car panel, real smart TV etc.
