I used it primarily as a travel & underwater cam. The software is pretty terrible out of the box, and I ended up having a decent # of pictures that were either never saved or "lost" from the memory card. (The card was fairly o

I can't say for the privacy policy, but I used Clue for over a year without an account. Since I forgot to do a final export of the data before resetting my phone (I know, I know...), I subsequently lost all the locally stored data for

My team also recently built a chat service into a mobile app for a cruise line, and had to have high resiliency to network drops and offline users - while having a mission-critical "guaranteed delivery" requirement. We also chose

We use this at the (very large) corp that I work at, with very large, complex, high-traffic/revenue sites. Each component in the architecture has it's own "light/dark" deployment (in each environment), so any piece

I agree regarding the international aspect. Regarding juggling sim cards: I recently traveled between a few EU countries using a 3 UK pay-as-you-go card (with the their roaming package http://www.three.co.uk/Discover/Ph

This! It would be nice if the places recommended were aggregated from the typical go-tos for travel (Yelp, TripAdvisor) - rather than starting yet-another place for reviews/opinion content. Also potential integration or partnership wit

As a woman engineer I understand what the OP is trying to say, but it sounds callous and (surprisingly) oblivious to the realities of this field. As someone else pointed out: "1) What is the nature of hackathons? Many are pitchathons.&

I actually find both 2 & 3 to be more prevalent in self-taught programmers (especially those who know enough "officially" taught people to have an inferiority complex. (i.e. why re-invent the wheel when (surely) someone else h

Excellent, thank you for the detailed reply! I am looking forward to the evolution of this app.

How would you say the stability of this release compares to the last version? I understand it's very new software, but the last version I played with (1-2 weeks ago) was incredibly buggy. Not just in terms of core functionality (hangin

I don't know if Redfin uses the same feeds, but their update times seem vastly superior to Trulia, Zillow & Estately. After spending 1 1/2 years trying to find a house in a turnkey-scarce market, and using RedFin (after it lau

Getting more women into tech* isn't just about the money ... 1.) Not encouraged in early years: If you are a tech-savvy female, "soft" tech careers (Graphic Design etc.) are generally recommended as career paths. 2.) It's a Boy's Club: If

I have the opposite background, but similar anecdotes. Spent all of high school and college in various art or design-focused curriculum and degrees. Inevitably ended up taking a few dev courses, but was only marginally interested. My first

Let me precede this by saying - JS is one of my favorite programming languages. And I agree, unless you know JS you will not be a well-rounded client-side engineer. But... Unless the styles are integral to the functionality of a certain com

And the easier sites become to maintain. Which is easier, maintaining rounded corners applied via CSS3, the old-school sliding doors, or JS? See also: text shadow, and box-shadow.

All of those are things regular people - i.e. not hacker news readers - don't give a toss about.

This is my PhantomJS experience as well! What mitigated this a bit though, is the actual Phantom codebase on-top of Webkit is really small. So when you need to figure out exactly what it's doing, it's super easy to just dig into the src. I'

PhantomJS is one of the better "headless" browsers out there. Webkit-based, Minimal src codebase (Python), and easy to compile (with QT tools). IMO The API is a little weird though: when evaluating js within a PhantomJS "WebPage" context, i

This is how I approach project design as well (after the POC phase): Top down (API first). Then (not covered in parent article) bottom-up, (a.k.a. what building blocks does that API need?). _Everything else is just glue._ If you exclusively

Besides the whole `cd` override thing, I am curious why so many people are "confused" or have problems with RVM? (This is a genuine question. I've never had problems with RVM, but obviously others have, so I am curious)

Same here. I am planning my wedding, and Pinterest has been invaluable! Protip: If you can find the founders email (I can't remember of the top of my head), you can ask for an invite directly, instead of rotting away on the invite list.

IMO impediments to Padrino's success: - Mediocre focus on documentation - "Marketing"/Evangelism of the project - Increased Modularity of Rails3

by kaylarose 15y ago
I find it surprising that Padrino hasn't gained more popularity. For me, it's perfect for the times when you need something more robust than Sinatra, but lighter than Rails. (& being Rack-based it's pretty easy to port a project to eith

For most consumers a internet set-top box for TV is a completely new type of technology purchase (similar to a tablet purchase). Set-top boxes don't have the "cool-factor" of other technologies (smartphones/tablets) to drive sales, and TV =

IMO you may want to re-think emphasizing "a very polished UI", currently Geckoboard's UI is much more "polished"[1]. Instead, play up the tangible benefits over Geckoboard (realtime, data export). [1] https://demo.geckoboard.com/dashboard/
