I go to conf after-parties and I barely drink at all any more, due to a health problem. Nobody has ever given me shit, and I enjoyed myself just as much as ever. I originally worried that people were going to seem obnoxious when they were drunk and I was sober, but it was an unfounded fear. I can count on one hand the times I've thought "wow, that's a sloppy drunk."

Sounds to me like the author is trying hard to conjure up a problem.
Nice post. Thanks for sharing.

The tutorial process is pretty great. I found the circle visually unappealing.

I like that you don't try to cover too much ground with the tutorial. There are definitely some things I'll get to discover later.

The visual look of the bubbles on the comments do appear near-pixel perfect. For this kind of application, performance is absolutely critical (it's arguably the application I would use more than anything else, including my email inbox, so any delay is incredibly frustrating because it bottlenecks my whole day), so I would caution you to make sure that the tutorial looks incredibly fast. I think you've done a good job with that so far.

The tasks feature does need a little bit of work, but it does look slick. I would need the ability to tag items. In fact, I'd suggest you just look in here: http://help.teambox.com/forums/86927-ideas-and-suggestions (their users have already done all of the voting work for you) for a list of task features people want.

Last comment before I stop: it's unpleasant to browse around and find that you're planning to charge me $99 in 16 days for my business account. Got to tell me earlier that it costs money.
Great points. I often am dismayed that conferences and user groups seem more like frat parties than a profession attempting to further itself. And we wonder why progress plods.
Wow, like if you are programming assembly, that is a pretty huge space. One example of what can be done in 128k bytes is http://www.ciexinc.com/telemed/index.html.
I'm saying that something like that is par for the course in the modern US, and nothing that would surprise me.

My definition of nationalism is "excessive patriotism", or maybe "exceptionalism". It generally irks me when I hear americans say "this is America", because nobody I know says "this is Greece" or "this is England" as if they're the only free (to whatever degree) countries.

It sounds like it lets you build native apps with updatable HTML/JavaScript extensions.

So in the spectrum of native <-> web-app, this is closer to native, like Titanium (but more so?) and PhoneGap (now Apache Cordova) is closer to the web-app side.

It differs from the others in that it provides the dynamic update capability and is intended to be embedded as a part of a native application, rather than being the full application.

I feel the same way at conferences, and I actually do drink, though I never binge drink.

But, that's not why I came to the conference. I can drink at home.

I think you're fighting a losing battle, though, because the demographic that is generally involved in programming is essentially the same (with a slight tendency to nerdy and aspie) as the demographic of bros, and going to a conference is like a paid vacation for people who like programming (and aren't too intensely on call) - hence party time. Think state college spring break.

I think social awkwardness has an effect, too. I'd venture to say that the computer obsessed tend to more socially awkward, and alcohol offers a crutch when attempting to consciously network.

The point of using a CDN (in this case) is not to reduce latency. The problem is that it becomes exponentially more expensive to serve high data rates out of a single data center. Basic infrastructure like switches and loadbalancers start to get crazy expensive, as do their support contracts. Also, it requires a lot of fairly rare (and highly-paid) expertise to set it up.

Distributed CDNs are like the RAID of content serving. Each node can be simpler, cheaper.

Another bonus of using CDNs is that you're in a great negotiating position. If you're serving 80% of traffic through one and 20% through another, you can flip it around the moment one offers to shave a percent or two off the price. I've had people in the sales department of the formerly-80% side notice the traffic drop and suddenly call up with counteroffers. In contrast, getting someone to draw fiber cables across the datacenter usually requires a lot of onetime expense and long-term contracts.

That's not really what you said previously. You wrote "money which is contractually owed to a third party at the time of collection is not booked as revenue. Under Groupon's accounting practices, it is" and made no mention of refunds. Further, Groupon actually does reduce revenues by the reserves held to cover refunds (hence the recent revenue reduction to account for higher than expected refunding).

Further, the SEC hasn't actually kicked off a formal investigation and if it does, it will be for financial control and accounting deficiencies, not fraud.

Maybe it doesn't matter, but I didn't see anywhere in the article why Ryan chooses not to drink. Obviously, his own choice with what to choose to put in his body. But I have definitely wondered about the influence of the culture on those who don't drink for cultural or religious reasons (e.g. Muslim, Mormon) Are we losing talented people who don't want to be part of that aspect of the culture?

Protip: on nights when I choose not to drink, I usually drink club soda with a bunch of lime wedges (like 3-4). I love the taste of it, it looks like a gin and tonic or vodka and soda and no one ever asks.

Brendan refuses to share his side of the story. I asked him on his Facebook page and in a personal message, and he deleted the post and blocked me.

From "Brendan Eich, Prop 8 and homophobia" at http://blog.tommorris.org/post/20456932620/brendan-eich-prop... :

Now, I know it’s very difficult for people to understand, but there’s a very simple and easy way to never be called a bigot or a homophobe: don’t do bigoted or homophobic shit, like, for instance, giving money to a campaign to deny people basic human rights on the basis of their sexual orientation.

[...]

A few people expressing their disappointment with Brendan’s actions on Twitter and other sites is absolutely not anything like bigotry. Saying it is means you don’t understand. That’s what makes me most angry: that people don’t fucking listen to people in the LGBT community or seem to understand the reason why we are angry.

And, no, you don’t get to tell me to calm down or that I need to “tolerate” people who are oppressing people in my situation. No, sorry, that’s worse than supporting Prop 8. Homophobia? Sure. Whatever. That sucks and makes you stupid and disappointing. Telling me that I have to keep my trap shut about oppression because the oppressors are actually the oppressed… that’s just grade A bullshit.

This isn’t Fox News with all that “there are two sides and the truth is somewhere in the middle” crap.

Brendan Eich’s actions are homophobic and disappointing.

[...]

Lack of equal rights does material harm to gay people. People are not able to live with their partners due to shitty immigration laws or access health services. Lack of equality in law permits every minor-league bigot from the schoolroom to the boardroom the feeling they have a right to tease and torment. When the suicides stop and the violence stops, maybe we’ll talk about how the homophobes are the victims too. Until then, in order to seem fair and balanced and above-the-fray, people miss the whole reason why this is an issue.

I don't think small market share was ever really a reason that Mac OS X didn't get traditional viruses. UNIX-based servers have always had a huge market share, and since servers are presumably a more desirable target of infection and cracking than home computers are, we would have seen traditional viruses hit UNIX machines a long time ago if it were realistically doable. Also, before Mac OS X became as popular as it is now, there were lots of Windows users who hated Apple fanboys and would have loved to write a wide-spread virus that targeted Mac OS X if possible. But it seems like Windows, especially pre-NT and pre-Vista and pre-7, but even now, has a unique vulnerability to traditional viruses. Obviously, Mac OS X can still get hit by trojans if people use intelligent social engineering, but I feel it's still not too much of a semantic exaggeration to say "Macs don't get viruses."

I'm sorry, but the whole tax system is broken anyway.

Online retailers (excluding the shell games that some companies play) do not benefit from a state's services, so why should they bear the burden of collecting taxes for that state?

Most states have a use tax that is the responsibility of the taxpayer to pay to make up for this; I should know, I just filed my taxes and paid it.
I'm not entitled to lie to investors just because they should be smart enough to disbelieve me. There's a point beyond which it's not feasible for third parties to know how realistic my financial statements are, so the SEC has mandated I'm on the hook when I write them.

> how do you specify the object on which the outlet should be created?

The trick is to set your workspace to assistant mode (the split screen that usually has the interface on the right and the implementation on the left -- the button with the tux). Then select your .xib file in the project navigator.

The "Counterparts" navigation menu at the top of the right pane should have header files for all of the custom objects instantiated in the nib. Just choose the one you want to add an outlet/action to, and right-drag from the object you want to connect as an outlet (or have trigger an action) over to the interface file.

It will prompt you whether to add an outlet or action (if applicable) and for a name of the outlet or action. It will add the property, synthesize it, add it to dealloc (if you're not using ARC) and free it viewDidUnload (if it's a view controller subclass).
A calling convention would also be useful.
Excellent points all around Ryan. Thanks for bringing this up. The binge drinking that is almost mandatory at most conferences I attend these days is exclusive and annoying.

I don't, however, think that you need to stop attending conferences because of it. Rest assured there will always be someone else there like you that will have interesting things to talk about and will be sober.

Now that you have let others know that you definitely won't be drinking, you may actually be inviting others who feel the same way to seek you out at conferences because it's more fun to hang with like-minded people.
I have done development on Apple systems since the old OS7 and in my experience it has always been a pain. Back then they did not have an IDE nor did they provide a compiler if you wanted to develop for Mac you had to pick up Code Warrior. It was a mess to say the least.
Yup. They are similar. Yahoo! Live was pretty awesome.
Exploit kits are big these days!
The OP's tone, seems more of a search for clarification on the legal basis, rather than genuine interest in defending the repo.

The legal base (non-existing trademark, so therefore unclear - only based on previous usage) seems foggy and would have to be decided in court.
So either you get into an out-of-court agreement, or go to civil court and stand your case.

If there's any interest in keeping the name, you should probably just contact a lawyer and clarify with him.

But if you don't care, to the point where you can just rename the repo and let the other guy have it (which I'm assuming is the whole point of the letter...)

My move would be to keep save your project to a new repo, and just leave and empty readme to keep the name in-use. Even if you don't reply a number of times, that lawyering up (at least to me) looks like a dick scare tactics move...
I'm also confused as to what exactly clutch.io does. Are you hosting files for us? Or just providing a sdk?
I don't see why you wouldn't still call the address "noreply@" and then forward it to support. That way you're making it clear that this isn't really the standard route of communication while taking care of the customers who miss the clue.
I think you are mistaken to think that being a man, in itself, is what causes flirting behavior to be hit with a sexual harassment complaint. The greater factor is that the man in the equation is likely to be the one in power, and thus the woman has a reason to feel threatened if she rebuffs him.
I would agree that without context one can't know which set-up has the most potential. However, such potential is by definition just hypothetical funny money until it's realised, if and when it ever is.

You contend that your business A has proven it can get orders of magnitude more customers. Well, yes, it has: in fact, it's proven that it can get exactly 1,000 active customers instead of 10. But if you're going to infer from that statistic that business A can therefore get 2,000 active customers, then why can't I assume company B can go from 10 to 20 by the same logic?

If anything, I might put more faith in the latter, simply because a lot of people are going to drop $10 without thinking much. Very few people are going to drop $1,000 without careful consideration even if it's someone else's money they're spending, and if I were a betting man I'd rather back the product that I know for sure stands up to scrutiny and still gets bought. But either way, getting to relatively modest milestones like those you mentioned doesn't tell me anything in itself about the total size of the target market, how much of it I could realistically convert in the near future, or how well my product will stand up to competition for those sales.

That being the case, it does sound a little crazy to me to argue that it's actively better to have a higher sales volume even if it means a substantial drop in profits, unless you've at least got strong evidence that the higher numbers are expected to return an overall greater profit within a reasonable period of time.
I spend 8 hours a day in Xcode and absolutely love it. It has its rough edges - which you eventually learn how to circumvent - but most of these complaints seem to be misunderstanding more than issues with the IDE.

Reminds me of when I had to use Visual Studio for an extended period of time. I started off hating it, then eventually figured out how it wanted to play, and ended up liking it.

I wonder if authors of these types of articles come back to them a year later and think, "Gee, I sound foolish." Because that's how they sound to me now.
> ... Also, it was hard for a lot of guys to think with 100% efficiency in her presence.

I wish people thought more highly of men...People are perfectly capable of working around attractive people.

This was something I observed firsthand. Hardly scientific, of course, but still. I've also experienced palpable disdain and hostility from professors, up until the first test was graded, and they realized I was one of the top scoring students. There's just this slowly fading cultural phenomenon where some people expect certain professions to be populated by males who fit a certain mold.

Yes, people are perfectly capable of working around attractive people. In those contexts, there's time to acclimate and time to get to know them as people. As a college student, there are other contexts where there aren't the same strictures as a workplace and all you have to go on at first is what they look like in cutoff shorts and a "farmer's daughter" getup. (I once saw her have that effect on a visiting prof in that outfit.)
Brendan Eich is not the only one working at Mozilla who is making the LGBT and non-troglodite employees and volunteers feel uncomfortable.

Brendan refuses to address the issue and share his side of the story. But at least Brendan's colleague Gervase Markham at Mozilla had the guts to publicly publish and attempt to explain his hateful bigoted beliefs about gay marriage, and not censor the comments that people left on his blog, even if he ignored all the valid arguments that he had no answer to (which was most of them).

You could include the word "microsoft" somewhere in the page. But not somewhere that might mislead people to think Microsoft created, sponsored, approved of or is affiliated with whatever the code is. Like the project name, for example. By doing so, you benefit from a perceived association that doesn't exist; you're trading on their good name. You have the text of the law right there.

No, but it will hopefully get you a slap in the face.

Viruses are not a fact of life for Mac users.

Neither are trojans, and that is exactly why this trojan has manifested so successfully. Windows users are mostly hardened to the basic threats of the internet (don't open a random exe etc), and are cognizant of the reality that malicious software does target them. Non-technical Mac users have been lulled into a false sense of security that will eventually make them a more vulnerable target than a Windows user (as Win7 and OSX pretty much stand shoulder to shoulder in terms of security).

OSX is still dramatically safer in terms of your actual risk of a random remote attack.

What is your evidence for this?
That doesn't solve the problem at all, it just moves it from the generate-HTML request to a followon get-the-content-appropriate-to-this-user ajax request. Generating the information for each page is complicated, especially at Kink where your ability to interact with each "shoot" is determined by subscription rights, admin rights, microcurrency purchases, and who knows what else these days (I haven't seen the codebase in over four years).

Hibernate's clustered 2nd-level cache is still pretty magical. It means that the vast majority of web page requests are serviced out of RAM with zero database hits - without writing any special caching code. And it's transactional. For a certain set of scaling problems, this feature is golden.
