For some context: This is the first app I've ever gotten onto the App Store. I have an engineering background, but I spent the summer learning Swift, and this was the fruit of that effort. I'm an avid weight lifter, but I found th

They're not welcome to the club when they're taking actions to strip the rights of another individual. Opinions are one thing, concrete actions are another.

If sexual orientation is a choice, then why aren't there throngs of "straight" male scientists choosing to be gay for a while, fucking a bunch of dudes, enjoying it (that's the key part), then writing papers on it?

Ah I see what you mean. No, we generally don't unbind events on models/collections, but this is mostly because we don't remove views/subviews from a page that often. We try to cache as much stuff as possible so subsequent clicks between tab

Yeah, it seems weird, but that's the way it works in Backbone (at least for us). Views are more similar to iOS' UIViewController than a Rails view. Backbone views handle event binding and rendering, so they're more similar to Rails controll

I didn't go into much detail because I could have gone on and on forever. We keep our models and collections very bare. They essentially just have methods that communicate with our API and that's it. We handle subviews by appending them in

I guess it just depends on your definition of "big". I'm curious to see how many views they have. We have many, many views. Our new Posterous Bar -- http://blog.posterous.com/introducing-the-new-posterous-bar -- was also built using a few
