It would also be an absolute joy if we could actually refactor with Xcode.

I haven't actually scoped anything out beyond the article, but I'm not sure this is necessarily true. I've noticed while screen-sharing coding sessions that -- for those who are interested -- it is a great way to convey how one approaches programming at a fundamental level: that a lot of it is about planning and researching and how you think about problems. That can be pretty valuable to someone with no experience but a willingness to learn.
Also, as the article suggests, the developers appear to describe what they're doing, so it could be a window into the thought process of a talented developer. I think I would have valued this quite a bit as a novice when the technology to enable this wasn't as developed.
The latest BetterTouchTool nightlies have both light and dark monochromatic icons.
Interesting world and times we live in. Somehow, though, I can't shake the feeling that it's all manufactured, however unlikely that may be. I mean, how could someone be SO out of touch?
On the plus side, it's bringing awareness to a real issue that's often brushed under the rug by most.
I'd tend to disagree with your assessment of iOS' performance on the iPad 2. I have an iPad Air and an iPad 2 and quite frankly the iPad 2 crashes less and runs more consistently on iOS 7, as opposed to my Air. It feels as though iOS 7 wasn't ready for the Air, but it has been improving with each update.
You can lock down iPads via the Ease of Access feature. Apple uses it to lockdown iPads in their stores, for example. The restaurant didn't have them properly configured, although it is an oddly termed feature in the settings.
I think it goes without saying that it's all about your objectives and perceptions. Objectively, HN is a valuable resource to stay informed of micro-innovations in the tech industry.
I'm not someone that's insecure about what I don't know or how smart I am, as I'm constantly trying to improve all areas of my life; as a result, many of the posts here are inspiring and help set a fire under my ass to get out there start doing.
I've been wondering this exact thing. I generally use darker schemes as it's easier on my eyes, but am forced to use a lighter color as a result of not being able to read the window caption.
That's interesting, if also a bit antiseptic. I think trying to describe spirituality in such a bracketed, mathematical way is a smidge like trying to describe an emotion with an equation.
It doesn't describe what spirituality means to oneself -- which, from person to person, can mean many different things.
After all, isn't spirituality really all about personal meaning?
I don't know if that works for all types of products, though. Some, perhaps, but not all. A B2B landing page, for example, needs to be able to convey the benefits of using the product, solutions, etc.
I can confirm. Win8/x86/Chrome.
Thanks for your reply. I'm working on a SaaS as well (

Good luck!
How long would you say it took to develop this from day one to completion?
Thanks for your response. The issue isn't so much for how often they post, it's more for how often they receive communiques. Being a small-timer, I'm trying to figure out the most resourceful way of accomplishing this.

For a personal project, I’m designing a system that pulls information from various sources, including IMAP, twitter and facebook (and others). Ideally, I’d like the user to be notified when the system receives data from any of these sources (thus timeliness is important), but I’d like some input into how best to accomplish this when there are potentially hundreds of concurrent users.To solve...

Great work. I signed up about two months ago and intend on using codiqa for our mobile prototyping. It's great for those of us that are bootstrapped.
I actually found about you guys on Reddit :)
>I want to do a version of that which begins with the credit card types desaturated and then colors the one that matches the number entered (for which there are Free js libs)
This is similar to the way PayPal does it, which I've always thought is a great, subtle way of confirming the card type.
This really does seem like a violation. We develop enterprise help desk software and also offer it via Download.com and didn't receive a notification of this change.
It doesn't exactly look great on our software that a toolbar is installed alongside it -- especially for a professional business product.
Do you have any experience attending the event that's being held next week? What's the turnout like?
There's nothing wrong with loving where you live.
"What's a color? What's a country? What's a "week"? What's a leader? What is solid? Which way is up? What's a job? Your brain starts trying to decompose every concept into basic principles, and you realize that for a lot of things in the human world, there are none."
While I've personally never tried LSD, my favorite is, e, which offers a similar, but different, opening of the mind. Since I've never tried LSD, I can only say that e opens one in an emotional way, one that allows you to empathize and understand the universe in a way that you otherwise wouldn't. It also invokes an odd existential dialog within oneself about how the world works and why we think the way we do.
I suppose I quote you because as a musician and software engineer, it is often the case that I ask myself why it is that certain things are the way they are. For example, anyone that's studies AI realizes that one of the harder concepts is that of _understanding_.
How do we make a machine understand when we ourselves don't understand the _why_ around us?
Drugs like e and LSD present an insight to us that allows us to realize that the answer is a lot more distant than just what we perceive.
I agree. Hardware-wise, it's a solid device. From what I've been reading, RIM seems on the ball with improving the software experience -- even issuing an update during launch week.
For people like, say, my mom, not having a native email client isn't a problem. She's used to navigating to the Hotmail website.
And for people who are looking at this as a business device, well if they're looking into the PlayBook, they likely have a BlackBerry they can bridge to and have access to native email in that fashion.
In a couple of months, after the issues have been ironed out, I see it as a definite contender.

Interesting, but I do find it somewhat ironic that it would be Flash player relaying iPhone apps to the browser.
I'd have to agree. People always say that you can make your own hours (which is true for many), but I find myself always on the job, whether it's day or night.
Nevertheless, I'd not have it any other way.
