Wish they would also allow 3rd party phone apps. Recording a call isn’t possible on an iPhone unless your willing to use paid, very hacky solutions.

That's not what this tweet is about...
I guess it uses your contact information to get the names out of your voice. e.g: "Send a message to Lemony Snicket" would be easier to understand when the voice processor knows there is someone called "Lemony Snicket" in your contacts.

I've been looking for a threadmill for a while to put under my standing desk but yeah I'm afraid they'll be too loud... Do you have a good reference?

Is that really enough for Twitter to remove the tweets from their databases?...
Just use what you're already proficient in.

You can chose to display contributions to private repositories on Github but it has to come from your account.
So PHP is the third most popular FRONT END technology... Tell me more about it.

Well would you say to someone who is going to look for an IT job in a few years to learn those languages?
Re:Programming languages and Frameworks to learn in 2015 on Sunday December 28, 2014 @07:40PM (#8808066)
Well Erlang and Haskell aren't the most common programming languages that I can think of. I've never seen any job offer (in my area) for those. But I often find articles talking about what people achieve using those and I find it fun but are they really useful in the 'grown ups' world?
Re:Programming languages and Frameworks to learn in 2015 on Sunday December 28, 2014 @09:01AM (#8806271)
Hi, I’m in my third year in a French IT School. I’ve used A LOT of C/C++ during my first years and now I’m learning bit of Java and C#. I learned Ruby On Rails through a 6 months internship while I was in my first year and I fell in love with the ruby world. I also used some OCaml (and this is actually great!) and some x86_64 ASM at school.

So I’ve read all your comments and I’ve seen a lot of kind of esoteric languages. I mean that I’ve already heard about them but I’ve never figured out if they are really used in companies. I also love to check on new things and look at new languages with cool syntax and fun features but is it really useful? Are languages like Erlang, J, F#, Rust, Haskell or Nim really used in your companies? Are they worth to learn to find a job? From what I’ve seen / what I know node.js has grown A LOT this year. I’ve seen several job offers asking for node.js. I think I am going to focus on this from now on.

Thanks for reading / giving your opinion in comments ;)

Doesn't work here. :O
The application is fun, I spent the last 10min playing with it. I found a PNG file that makes it crash though.
I wanted to try it but it seems that files are missing:
