No, because they have successfully demonstrated that they don't have "little chance of scaling"

That sounds very similar to my plan on Tesco mobile although my data is limited to 1.5GBs. What is your experience of 3? I've heard bad things about them and worry about the quality of their coverage. Would you recommend them? And if you do

I was there too and don't believe that the problem was with the ticketing system. They overestimated the maximum capacity. The Swamp 81/Numbers stage was massively popular and had a max capacity of 700... for an event with 15,000 attendees.

That's a ridiculous reason to make fun of someone for!

Ok, why would professional designers make fun of someone for using Gotham in a logo type?

Why is Gotham a bad choice for logotypes?

I came here looking for an explanation for this, so thanks. To the curious - SO has an explanation of why Python was designed like this, which I found interesting: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1132941/least-astonishmen...

Do you have a blog? I found this really interesting and would like to read more. Also, I'm curious - what are the legal reasons for not working with full black or white in broadcast video?

I read an article[1] that, I think, was on HN a little while ago about naming apps. I find it a really good way to come up with good names. [1] http://blog.zachwaugh.com/post/9666969587/how-i-name-my-apps

It seems so obvious to me now, but I just realised that is something that I do; I focusing on understanding what is causing a bug and how to fix it, but not why the bug occurred in the first place and how to prevent myself making similar

Consider a poorly written program: Cryptic variable names, lack of documentation, tightly coupled. The code would be far from perfect, but if it works then it may be considered 'good enough'. In fact, I'll go out on a limb and suggest that

The point is not that it can't be done securely, it's that they don't want the hassle of being responsible for a large amount of sensitive information. By not storing the information in the first place they can guarantee that they won't be

iOS push notifications are created on a server and then sent to the users iPhone. This means that the server must know about the event in order to generate the push notification that you see on your phone. When you send a message from Whats

The iOS push notification service works by having a remote server determine when a push notification needs to be displayed to the user. The only way for Sparrow to do this would be to store the gmail credentials of every user who uses their

"Writing tests makes you think". A developer should already be thinking about these things when they are writing their code.

I might have misunderstood you. Do you mean that if they don't want you to share the content then they shouldn't sell it to you, because you will share it regardless of what the terms of the sale dictate?

Why do you think it's okay to lie in this situation?

If you don't like the conditions then you can decline and not have access to the creation.

How does this put the argument to rest?

Putting analogies aside, as everyone seems to focus on the analogy rather than the actual topic: Person A made something and is granting access to their creation subject to certain conditions. Person B finds a way to access the creation whi

Fixable for technical people, sure. Not for the average user. The user who uses the default web browser. The user who uses IE.

I find 'smart wrapping' very easy to read. (Code is wrapped and auto-indented to the current indentation level.) I wish this feature was far more prevalent and it means that I don't have to worry about manually breaking the occasional long

My issue with email is that it is hard to quickly extract the information that I need from it. This issue does not usually stem from what the sender has written, but how it has been sent, and how various email clients interpret the message.

I'm a big fan of the refresh. I also visit the site several times a day (documentation, not the rest of the site) and this updated design makes it much easier for me to scan.

They've submitted a new version and are awaiting approval: https://twitter.com/?tw_e=details&tw_i=15795933681825792... (I can't find any information on why it was removed in the first place)

That's a shame, I've been waiting for a while for them to have more in stock in Europe. What would people recommend as a replacement? Fitbit looks good, but I am really only after the alarm clock aspect of the product.
