It was in the works after Full Throttle's success, but was cancelled. I don't know the reasons.

My sympathies to any workers displaced by these events, but I'm happy. Parse is a bad product: it has weird quirks in normal usage but most importantly scales abysmally. I'm thrilled to have ammunition to justify moving away from

My issue with masonry is that it's a paper thin abstraction over auto layout. There's some nice syntactic sugar, like chained calls to layout rules. Ultimately I think there's room for some containers that give up flexibilit

That's all you need to do to make money on stocks, or bonds, or any other speculative trade. The trick is being consistent :)

There is a difference between "shit talk" and rooting out personal contact information to then send death or rape threats. I don't think anyone expects an experience akin to high tea with the Queen, but no one deserves to be

Realizing you had more options at your disposal because you were not submitting to the App Store was a cool hack.

Are there places where "birds of a feather" congregate? Forums, lists, etc? I'm excited to tap the wisdom of others as I get my business off the ground.

For the same reason dating couples breakup: because something changes, externally or internally, that makes staying together less desirable than splitting up. I've been married for 3+ years, and been with my spouse for almost 10. We h

Oh BlackBerry. What are we going to do with you? FWIW, developing on their BlackBerry 10 series phones was an absolute joy. Great hardware and lots of options for realizing apps.

I won't be surprised if we get to the point where OS updates can be done seamlessly in the background without user prompting. I also won't be surprised if Apple will be the first vendor to sell us on it.

Not saying he is wrong, but almost any pattern can be traced if the lower and upper bounds are picked carefully. For those interested in trading with technicals: how can you know where in the cycle the equity stands?

A reason this disparity sprigs to mind has to do with age. I'm reminded that the translation of sophomore from the Greek is "wise fool": it's possible high school students at the ages of 15-18 are more willing to plow ahead with ideas tha

This is good advice. If CS intrigues you, sign up for the most advanced courses you can handle. Also, be sure not to shortchange yourself when it comes to a foundation. Lots of people can "write code" without a good understanding of datastr

Makes me wish I had taken a class with him while at Tufts. It's a hard truth that you can usually plot a good course through your university experience AFTER you are finished.

Why does the author's attitude to the reader vary from condescending to reverential to dismissive and back? So weird.
