it's refreshing to see how brave the verge is to finally write an article critical of Musk

This is such an odd statement as it's already been proven false. The Echo is already quite popular. I gave one to my 70 year old technophobe mom and she uses it in the kitchen all the time. I use mine everyday.

My guess is in general the Real Estate market doesn't want this. What happens if it tests positive for something? Do you start tearing down all the walls until you find the issue? Suddenly the house is unsellable and a huge money pit for the seller or new buyer.

I get that it's trying to be funny, but is it really no longer possible to create a website with a single arrow that doesn't have to pull down all this cruft ?

Part of that is right out of the Microsoft playbook. Promote you right before the review cycle. Give you a bad review by comparing you to all your peers in your new level. They had a limited number of promotions and good scores to give out. This way they didn't have to give a promotion and high score to the same person.

When I worked at Microsoft many years ago they had an large QA team with equal footing to Development and Product in determining what shipped and when. This was the same for every development team I was a part of there for over 9 years. It wasn't perfect, and the ship cycles were slow, but the quality bar was set higher than what I've seen outside of Microsoft.

That's not correct. Apple doesn't allowing purchasing digital goods through a non-apple payment method. The margins are so low for Amazon it doesn't make sense to give apple 30% for every kindle book purchased.

I wouldn't call that a bug. That's like saying you can't do

  let a = Foo()
  a.addItem(i)

It's not like anything you build in React is going to transfer over to another framework either. In fact, I've been to a lot of React talks and people mostly ask "how do I do X" in react. The last talk I went to they spent 10 mins talking about how you might make a spinner when data is loading.

I think that's the nature of any framework.

It's for bin scripts such as NPM which refer to the executable directly. See here: https://github.com/iojs/io.js/issues/249

Nice, I was actually testing on my server hardware which is obviously lower end. This is hopefully useful for people though.

For me 1 second seems pretty aggressive, that's CPU time/latency per login.

From my testing 600 took about 15ms. 100k would take about 2.5 seconds.

Here's a node way of doing it: https://github.com/solomon23/solomon-angular-node-seed/blob/...

It's what I always find odd about the incredible open armed love of developers for Apple. People used to hate Micro$oft ( $ uses for emphasis. ) I can't imagine what the 90's would look like if MS took 30% of every software sale and decided what software could and could not exist on it's OS. The walled garden's have peeps and minor outrage, but I never understood why it wasn't more of a roar.

That's it's biggest problem. If you ever had to look at a giant XSLT file and tried to debug some issue, you can understand why it never become popular.

It's actually easier depending on the animation you want to do. You can set an NSLayoutConstraint to an IBOutlet and then change it's constant in an animation block.

Parse gets you up and running crazy fast. So it's extremely useful in that way. If you're making a mobile app the speed the SDK gives you in working with a pre-built backend cannot be underestimated.

Recently I started a project with Parse but eventually moved off it ( with some pain ). The pain points for me were random requests timing out or randomly taking 20+ seconds to respond. Also the SDK wasn't as flexible as I needed it to be ( which is typically the case with any ORM ). The forums/support isn't great so if you run into a showstopper, you're pretty much on your own.

It worked pretty good for MySpace... oh wait

This is a really useful writeup. Might consider doing one on trying to convert my app to use WKWebView ( hint. lots of radars )

Huh. I remember robinhood. I signed up for that a year ago and I'm still #183,851 in line. Cruise'n right through that wait list.

Pretty slick video. The page is pretty buggy is some annoying ways. The chrome gesture for paging back doesn't work since I assume it's grabbing the mouse. When you page back or forwards to the page it reloads and it's white.

Custom operators for all things ! or how to make your code base unmaintainable

It's funny how this is even a question. Often times a business goal will be to be profitable, but that seems foreign in tech.

This is how I consider it and try to phrase it to my clients. They buy my time. If they waste a lot of it with meetings and false starts, at the end of the day it's their responsibility to use my time wisely. That being said, it's my responsibility to make sure my time is of great value to them and produce quality work.

me too.. it's more likely to be a token that's cookied and sent over SSL per api request. Same token that would get generated if they auth'ed via password.

I'm running a DO box with node, mongo, and nginx. I'm able to get ~ 500rps

I found a gig I was interested in. There doesn't seem to be a way to contact them though. Their link goes to their homepage which has no contact info. Maybe the site could facilitate that ?

Sure, but you still have a single point of failure.

I use wave accounting for expense tracking and invoicing. Most of my clients pay via check or ach.

For time tracking I create a spreadsheet per client job with the daily hours.

Time tracking and invoicing seems like a popular choice for consultants looking to white label something.

Cheap, easy and extremely helpful tutorials. My biggest complaint is a lack of load balancer.
