jemeshsu··on Build an iOS App on Heroku in 10 Minutes
I watched the video. How does one add user account support? For example to handle multiple users in your example task app.
jemeshsu··on Textadept: fast, minimalist, and Lua-extensible cross-platform text editor
Textadept uses Lua as scripting language. Sublime Text uses Python as scripting language. Any hipster working on a text editor that uses Javascript as scripting language?
jemeshsu··on Configuring Sublime Text 2
Always wondering why the version '2' is emphasised heavily. Never heard of Sublime Text when it is version 1. The version number is part of the app binary file name. It is the only OS X app in my Mac that has the app name together with version number on the menu bar. Nothing wrong with this "unconventional", just that it will break a little thing when Sublime Text 3 is released. For example to change command prompt linking as in "ln -s /Applications/Sublime\ Text\ 2.app/Contents/SharedSupport/bin/subl /usr/local/bin/sublime".
jemeshsu··on Answers to common questions about RethinkDB
To compete with MongoDB for Node crowd, you need an ORM similar to Mongoose. It seems that Node users now default to MongoDB in their stack, much like MySQL in LAMP.

For Golang, mgo http://labix.org/mgo is a quality implementation driver for MongoDB. Hopefully there is something similar for RethinkDB.

jemeshsu··on Steven Sinofsky to Leave Microsoft
You can read Steve Jobs' biography.
jemeshsu··on Samsung hits Apple with 20% price hike: report
Must be a term in the contract to allow Samsung to do so. My guess: likely that Apple is ending the contract early, and the term is the way for Samsung to cover its investment in the chip plant.
jemeshsu··on Samsung Galaxy Beam review: stay for the projector, but nothing more
Projector in smartphone is not new, so Samsung is not innovative by my definition, more like following the "Same"sung tactic. They are clearly testing the market, just like they release an Android based camera. I would not call it innovation by slapping two products together to create a hybrid product. Do you call a fridge that has a 10" LCD dashboard running Android Jelly Bean innovative?
jemeshsu··on Objective-C in The Cloud
If I'm not wrong Tim Cook did hint at a revamp Mac Pro in spring 2013. I believe it will be build for server farm as Apple itself needs hardware for their own server farm.

Great idea you have!

jemeshsu··on The decline of PCs and the rise of smartphones and tablets was predicted in 1993
Tablet is just a "smartphone" with a bigger screen. So it will be replaced by the "smartphone" when wireless display tech is both direction, i.e. display and input. In future, when I need to write/read a book, I bring out a foldable LCD display, "airplay" connect to it with my "smartphone" (Siri hit the screen please!). Or go to a meeting room with such screen, airplay to it to present my ideas. Or in StarBuck, pull out the LCD screen on the table, and airplay to it. Or the screen might have Kinect like sensor so I can interact with it like Minority Report. Or the screen might be by a corner of my glass (Google glass), so I can "airplay" to it. All this from my "smartphone" device hidden in my pocket. By then screen is needed less due to Siri version X, as most interaction and info search is by voice. For x-Apple people, just substitute Siri/AirPlay with similar tech names.
jemeshsu··on Disney to Acquire Lucasfilm Ltd.
This must have something to do with the upcoming Angry Birds Star Wars.
jemeshsu··on Nexus: The best of Google, now in three sizes
At first I thought LTE is overrated, after using it for 2 weeks, its hard to go back. If you constantly on the go and need to check things out quick on your mobile, LTE makes the experience 'keeping pace with your move', there is less 'little waits'.
jemeshsu··on Amazon.com criticising new iPad on homepage
My first impression is that Amazon is displaying the possible margin they could get with Kindle Fire HD. Maybe someone in AMZ is regretting pricing it that low.
jemeshsu··on Sales of the Galaxy S III rose following the unveiling of the iPhone 5
Here in Singapore, you don't see any iPhone 5 ads. But Samsung ads together with the three local telcos are everywhere. iPhone 5 sells itself as it is hot seller here. No doubt Samsung might sell more due to the ads and more models at lower costs.
jemeshsu··on An Alternate Universe (Microsoft Surface)
For Apple we have MG, Gruber and Marco. For Microsoft, is there any? And for Google?
jemeshsu··on What is HMAC Authentication why is it useful?
How does one implement a browser single-app JS client (Backbone, Angular etc) to access server API with HMAC authentication? The secret key will be exposed clearly in the JavaScript client.
jemeshsu··on Meteor releases authentication, accounts system, and new screencast
Are Meteor or Derby frameworks to be used on the premise that you have only browser clients? If my Meteor/Derby web app has server component, how easy it is to build native iOS and Android clients to access the same data on the server?
jemeshsu··on Android can be beautiful
Are there other similar sites that showcase mobile app design? Best is one that covers Android, iOS and Metro apps.
jemeshsu··on Google threatened Acer with Android excommunication
Aliyun is not a fork of Android. It is China's home grown cloud based OS based on Linux. http://www.techinasia.com/alibaba-aliyun-investing-mobile-os...

The name Aliyun: Ali is Alibaba, Yun is cloud in Chinese.

jemeshsu··on Chinese company uses leaked photos to copy, patent iPhone 5 design
Xiaomi has cult followers in China, fyi. Its like the Apple for Android phones in China. And Mi Two is running Android 4.1.
jemeshsu··on Apple asks court to ban Samsung’s Galaxy Note and Galaxy S III from US
I guess Apple is fearing Samsung's success in suing LTE in new iPhone 5 thus banning iPhone 5 sale in US.
jemeshsu··on Samsung leapfrogs Nikon with Galaxy camera, 16mp 21x optical zoom and jellybean
Interesting that camera get the latest jellybean before Galaxy phones. I guess next up will be a Galaxy TV. And Galaxy fridge that auto order to restock your pizza and beer.
jemeshsu··on Move over Samsung Galaxy S3, here comes Xiaomi M2 at $320
The first Xiaomi phone makes the company billion dollars and lots of fans in China. The second phone Xiaomi M2 will be released soon. Android 4.1, 4.3 inch 1280x720 342PPI screen, 8MB f2.0 1080p camera, 2GB memory, HSPA+.
jemeshsu··on App.net funded with $500,000.
http://ampify.it/

Not sure why the down vote. I'm not associated to the project. Just to highlight an effort of a decentralised social platform.

jemeshsu··on Photo shows Mars rover descent
Guess this is because no other country has that level of expertise of space program like US.
jemeshsu··on MacBook Pro gets Retina Display; MacBook Air updated with Ivy Bridge
Not so sure about the updated MacBook Pro as the spec sheet does not list a optical drive. So it might also be gone.
jemeshsu··on Camera+ turned down acquisition offers and says no to VC money
I suspect Apple will add in filters feature into Camera and Photos app in iOS 6. This might impact some income for Camera+ app.
jemeshsu··on I Don't Need Backups, I Use Raid1
I was burnt once when both hard disks in my Raid1 fail at the same time, unlikely but it happened. And Raid is not a backup strategy.
jemeshsu··on Twitter Rolls Twitter.com Back to a Server-Side Architecture
Twitter is doing the best approach which is a mix of both client-side and server-side. It is not an either or situation.
jemeshsu··on Ask HN: Who is using Go language?
Youtube, Heroku, Canonical, BBC Worldwide, ngmoco, smugmug, Spotify... Golang is strange, need to write some Go codes in order to appreciate the language design decision.
jemeshsu··on 5 Weeks of Go
One solution is to add version to url. Some examples from Google API for Golang (http://code.google.com/p/google-api-go-client/): code.google.com/p/google-api-go-client/tasks/v1 code.google.com/p/google-api-go-client/books/v1
