"I don't make resolutions, I set goals" (TM) (A purposely eye-roll inducing quote I've been saying to myself for a few years). But:

- Contribute to Swift

- Finish 6 books

- Ship 2 iOS apps

- Run 10km in under 50 minutes

- 195 lbs

Mmm, lasagna.
Good for Uber, and I understand the want to prevent the players' safety, but seriously, that's ridiculous. The fact that this deal is in place says a lot about the maturity of professional athletes.
Valid points. I hate mailto links in general, and can totally see the workflow getting messed up by not having your default mail client set to what you actually want.

However, I think most people know how to at least access their email (always logged in), so provided you could get them into their client, with a token, quickly, with a small number of clicks, might be interesting. Of course, it could be spam central.

How about this: Add a mailto link that sets the subject to some type of token, they click the link, hit send, app catches the email, sets the correct address accordingly.

Non-engineers notice mine all the time too. I'm so used to wearing though (and sort of forget that I am sometimes) that usually there's a few seconds where I'm very confused as to how they know I'm an engineer.

It's also great for tapping out a rhythm on any hard surface you can find.

Interesting perspective. And regarding debuggex.com itself... Awesome. I'll be using it in the future. Nice work.
