I think the trick is to shed your imposter syndrome, but remain humble. You can be confident and humble at the same time. It can come with accurate self-assesment. Keeping your weakness in mind helps a lot.

How would you recommend becoming familiar with idiomatic Go? I've read various articles including (but not limited to) tutorials, made a point of exploring a few open source projects and I've written a few thousand lines of Go. I

BTW, feedbin.me DOES work on mobile. The layout adjusts and shows just the list or just the article view, instead of both at the same time.

Right. I read that, and in hindsight should have used more inclusive wording. Anyway, I really like Feedbin even though it could use a bit more polish (a couple of animations would go a long way e.g. when it is loading an article).

I also noticed that it counts the Mac and PC versions of games separately. e.g. Sid Meier's Civilization IV has 2 IDs: 3900 and 34440

Don't you think the reality is some middle ground? It's a perfect game controller for some games .

Sort of. You can rearrange the task circles, but they float into a somewhat arranged layout. In practice this means that the order is not immediately obvious.

I played with it a bit and unless I missed something, the size of the circle is only related to how many other circles are inside it.
11.
by cgislason 14y ago
The circles actually seems to reduce value because there is no intuitive order to each group. In some (many?) use cases for Trello, priority is important. One thing that the circle metaphor does add is nested groups, which I can see being i

Trello does have Google Drive integration. You can attach files to cards from your Computer, Google Drive or Dropbox.

I wanted to compare the old and new pages, but noticed that their robots.txt disallowed the wayback machine from caching it. Also, the Octocat was not on the page that Google cached: http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:SZg

I've heard a few times before that the iOS keyboard invisibly grows the touch target on the letters it predicts are most likely to be typed next. Unfortunately, my quick attempt to find a source failed.

Potty training; put baby on the toilet before the diaper gets wet. Babies can be "trained" a remarkably young age, if the parents can predict urination.

I personally find it useful to have a plankton mode and a shark mode, switching between them as necessary. Drifting is useful at times, but you definitely miss out on many of the best parts of life if you don't push yourself.

Don't get distracted by the politics and fighting in the mobile space. Work on what you love and enjoy. My suggestion: start with native app development for the device that you own and use most. Run through a couple of beginner tutorials an

I've seen randomized images bypassed by simply taking a screenshot in conjunction with logging keyboard and mouse actions.

Just FYI, the first iPad will not be compatible with iOS 6. Still a pretty decent lifespan, but coming to an end.

The idea is for the light to be definitive, but I am not sure how secure they are. Also, as far as I can tell/remember all Macs have indicator lights on their cameras.

The motivation of the question may be opinion based, but the actual question is technical in nature. "Is there a way to find out which framework and components are used in an iOS app?" has a factual answer. For example, you can certainly le

Last summer I evaluated Lift vs Play 1.x and was leaning heavily toward Play. I wrote some toy apps in each. We chose Lift only because it turned out that Play was incompatible with our Maven setup. (I have heard it has improved in 2.0 but

It seems that the 'worldwide' claim a bit of a stretch. I can only search for an iTech in the US and the front page has a US map on it. (Though it seems you can sign up to be an iTech worldwide.)

What a misleading headline! Cheap calls maybe, but not free. Even if you ignoring the fact that he is paying for the data plan, the author mentions that he is paying "$0.019 per minute" for most outgoing calls within the U.S.

The difference between free and $150 might be enough to prevent a good chunk of those apps.

I wonder how these points relate to the high satisfaction rate of iPhone users. Or maybe there's no relation at all?
