Same here, happy to give money to make a pain point go away so I can focus on the product itself.

My only wish was that I could place an easy API layer between Parse and my app, because I would want more fine grained control over how data is mutated (even with ACLs, someone with write permission could mutate data and corrupt it if desired).

There's a REST API, but I don't think I would want to use that as much.

"
Lo-Dash's performance is gained by avoiding native methods, instead opting for simplified non-ES5 compliant methods optimized for common usage, and by leveraging function compilation to reduce the number of overall function calls.
"

also, any chance of contributing the improvements back to underscore or is this different enough that that's not a possibility?

Websites will kill apps. It's only a matter of time. The only reason to write apps is for performance and to get access to features your browser won't let you, but those will both progressively be fixed over time. The only app survivors will be those apps that truly use all the power or truly use very specific hardware that is somehow not safe or not widespread enough to justify browser support.

If your career is currently bet on apps, I'd be sure to diversify in your spare time into something not-app. (Said not-app thing may also be useful in apps, I'd just avoid specializing extensively and solely on things that are only uesful in the app context.)
I'm home now running both the SkyDrive app and the LiveMesh app which itself has cloud storage. I think MS needs to clear things up as both services have serious overlap and will cause consumer confusion... even if that mean removing cloud storage from Mesh. As it is now, users can choose to have LiveMesh needlessly sync the local SkyDrive folder.

Mesh has a nice interface with baked in sync scenarios such as browser favorites and office settings. The quick and easy remote desktop is a good touch as well.

Just IP comparison only works if the user's IP is constant, which rules out many phones, tablets, and laptops that frequent coffee shops and restaurant wifi. It also doesn't allow you to tell when IP $a and IP $b are really the same person at home and work. Further, IP comparison doesn't let you distinguish between multiple users coming from the same home or office network, or from a proxy.

Commercial implementations of this sort of tracking include the user's IP in their dataset, but track a number of other datapoints so they can tell if e.g. everything but a user's IP matches an entry in their database, it's probably the same person connecting from a different location.
I have to say this.

I was getting annoyed at the oversimplified, vague, and/or unclear explanations on the poster. It's great to have a poster cataloging logical fallacies, but it's not so great if it doesn't actually explain them very well.

So I go to the home page of the site, where the first sentence reads:

"A logical fallacy is usually what has happened when someone is wrong about something."

FACEPALM.

The validity of a logical argument has NOTHING to do with the actual veracity (rightness or wrongness) of the propositions. This is basic stuff. Logic is the process of figure out what other things we know based on what we already know. If what we think we know is wrong, then we can make all the logically correct arguments we want and we'll still be drawing wrong conclusions.
Also the "x" button on the top left adheres to absolutely no conventions or expectations.
This may be a result of some pressure for the online services division to start turning a profit as they are MS's largest money pit at the moment.

Congratulations for both becoming a US Citizen and for getting involved in tech! Great to see SE PA is developing more of a tech scene, too (I'm originally from there).

It's kind of frustrating that the state department consular staff dropped the ball on informing your family about applying for citizenship -- I know of people who ended up stateless after the fall of the USSR for similar reasons.

I suspect on the west coast there would be more opportunities to go to college without an SSN for financial aid (by using state or private grants), due to the relatively larger number of non-citizen or undocumented immigrants.

I think one of the hardest part of login views and other forms in iOS is dealing with the keyboard. You don't want the keyboard to hide stuff but you also don't want emptiness where they keyboard would be when the keyboard is not visible. Also they size of the keyboard is not fixed. In this particular case, the input accessory view of some keyboards, such as the Japanese keyboard would overlap with the button. In the case of a login view, you want to trigger a login event when the user touches the Done button as opposed to making the UITextField resign its first responder status, which means that on the iPhone the user won't be able to dismiss the keyboard, so all the other login options as well as the sign up button will be hidden forever if the user changes his mind. Ultimately, you want to have the whole thing in a UIScrollView (or a UITableView) to avoid such problems. And leave more space for the keyboard.
For those developers who also have to support Android, please please please stop porting your iOS code and its login/signup code/UI. Android already has a mechanism for dealing with accounts and they are already populated with Facebook, Twitter, Google, Skype, LinkedIn, Dropbox etc. You can add your app too if you want to be a provider of authentication/authorization for your service. All you have to do is use the AccountManager API - http://developer.android.com/reference/android/accounts/Acco...

This is my number one peeve with apps ported from iOS and highly annoying. The AccountManager system already knowns my credentials and can provide the necessary access tokens - there is no need for your app to have yet another crappy username and password prompt. My passwords are also excruciating to enter on mobile devices because they are long and varied.

There seems to be some sort of fetish over repeatedly entering passwords and usernames on iOS. Am I the only one who noticed? https://plus.google.com/110166527124367568225/posts/Xdnbu4RP...
This is an important point. You could provide a valuable service to the new angel class by running a site that provides startups with easy to fill out forms that translate into useful, actionable, understandable explanations of their new businesses.

I'm sure the standard brokers will provide guidance like this for a price, but you could establish norms as to what information is most important for every single new company to get out there, or take standards set by the government and make that information accessible.

And, on the other side of the coin, I fear it encourages folks to fall victim to the 'fallacy fallacy': Thinking that the presence of a logical fallacy in an argument implies that its thesis is incorrect.

On a completely different coin, nobody ever won an argument by treating it as a game of Spot the Logical Fallacy. All you'll win playing that game is a reputation for being insufferable.

Great demo, the only thing I take issue with is calling this "fully native". If you start defining "fully native" to mean "mostly JS but with some native components", what are we supposed to call actual fully native apps, then?
That's called "Inheritance of Acquired Characteristics", and it doesn't quite work that way. The more you know!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inheritance_of_acquired_charact...
I think you are beginning to see a convergence where websites will look and act more like apps and apps will be coded more often in HTML5. I also think that you will see more convenient on-screen navigation between apps and linking from app to app.

Ultimately because of their origins in the early static web, HTML5/CSS/JavaScript etc. are not the ideal platform for applications and so I think that directly coding that layer will fall out of fashion and instead it will become a base layer that other frameworks output.

I believe that the .NET-, Objective-C- and Java-based languages/platforms have dated core characteristics that make them disadvantageous as well as the problem of requiring extra coding. So even if people aren't developing mobile apps on HTML5 or HTML5-based platforms they are likely to move towards using some other layer above the native based on the economics alone.

Its difficult to predict what will happen for sure though. Personally, if I had my way, a lot of the current stack would be dropped immediately. CSS would be first to go. The concept of coding markup directly would be dropped. Instead, interactive tools would be used for creating and maintaining UIs and other application structures. Those tools would exchange data in the simplest possible common formats that could be agreed upon. The common formats across tools would extend to include semantic descriptions of components above the implementation level. ASCII source code would fall out of favor and be replaced with more interactive structural and semantic application editors. HTTP, the web, and the traditional client-server would be dropped and replaced with content-oriented networking integrated with the common application and data exchange formats. Browser-type applications/sites and desktop applications would converge so that web applications can integrate with the desktop environment.
It's incredibly ironic that this poster features Plato, Socrates, and Aristotle. They all commit ALL of these fallacies with regularity, with the exception perhaps of the Texas Sharpshooter, because in order to commit that one, you actually have to appeal to data.

I attended the first Code Academy demo day back in December and immediately upon walking into the (insanely packed) room, I felt this feeling of community and comfort.

As I watched each student present one by one, I felt the feeling even more. There was something in the air. These students had gathered in Chicago from around the world to learn a programing language together, in person. They came from a variety of background and levels of technical knowledge.

When I attended the second Demo Day, same thing.

After 12 weeks, it was if they'd all known each other a life time. Sure, they were nervous presenting, but you could just FEEL the support from the other students as each one took the microphone.

There are a lot of online resources these days that help people learn and help others teach. But I think there's really something to be said for something like Code Academy and that amazing feeling of community it creates.

Hello, I created this site. The qualifier of 'usually' means that there's not actually a fallacy being committed, rather a very generic statement about how fallacious reasoning is usually at play when people are wrong (which is certainly true).

You're right that the logical coherence of an argument doesn't have any intrinsic bearing upon the proposition that it supports being either true or false, but this does not invalidate the point that when people are wrong, they're more often than not guilty of committing fallacies in both their reasoning and their defence of their point.

Also, the idea of the site is to be very simple rather than comprehensive. Preaching to the choir is all good and well, but I'm more interested in spreading knowledge to children and people who haven't been exposed to or understood these concepts previously (however many uber nerds have emailed me saying that they've enjoyed it and hung the poster up).

From the FAQ section: The point of the site is to make common logical fallacies easily understood, so listing every single one isn't really what it's about. If you want to learn more about logical fallacies check out this comprehensive interactive list of all the formal and informal fallacies.

(I wouldn't be surprised otherwise, if sperm and egg cells are designed to be as independent as possible from the parent.)
