Steve Lehto has been covering some of the AI filings that have gone bad on his Youtube channel. They seem to be getting more frequent https://www.youtube.com/@stevelehto/videos

From hearing the details it seems that there is no real limitation to what you can execute as long as it runs on the instance. I get the feeling that if you zipped up all of the pa…

Someone pull a CSI and enhance the reflection in the glasses at about 43 seconds in!

It would be awesome to see the 1st and 3rd tools open sourced.

Anyone know how "thousands of packages" cited in the original article turned into "millions of customers" in the gigaom piece?

From the #code2012 poll on twitter C# is 8th where it was last year: http://www.ioncannon.net/projects/code2012/ Not that it is any better a stat than Google searches but the numbe…

It is also worth pointing out that you can fly to DC and NYC in under 2 hours from Louisville. You can fly to Chicago and get there before you took off thanks to the time change. S…

#2 is possible but #3 isn't unless you have a completely open bucket and that wouldn't be good.

I will second this. At the bottom of this article there is a reference the article I wrote a while ago when Amazon released this feature. I was planing on doing multipart uploading…

I wrote the example referenced at the bottom of the article and it has an example of indicating progress to the user. You can see it in app.js here: https://github.com/carsonmcdona…

Anyone remember Joyent's Strongspace service? http://www.datacenterknowledge.com/archives/2008/01/21/joyen...

Can you share the empirical evidence that it works? There is a lot of talk about these programs but not many resources on the outcomes that I know of.

Maybe it depends on where you order from but I ordered one from element 14 a couple weeks ago and had it in 4 days.

This is great but sadly you can't resize images in the same version of mobile safari so it limits the usefulness for image uploads. There is a bug that makes large images incorrect…

There are probably any number of reasons, valid or not. The easiest to cite is "Who do I call if we have a problem with OpenJDK?" Outside of OpenJDK there are other issues that mak…

Sadly I think the OpenJDK will scare off most "Enterprise" developers. I see this as a good option for testing/development but I have never seen an Enterprise use OpenJDK in produc…

Apple really needs to stop putting this type of stuff under NDA. I've had something like this since 3 weeks after WWDC but I was sitting on it waiting for the NDA to lift. So many …

I put together a FileAPI based uploader using signed PUTs. I hadn't gotten around to releasing it yet but here is a gist for those who might be interested: https://gist.github.com/…

I found this interesting when I saw it before. I had thought of something similar after seeing Nimbus Chameleon http://blog.jeffverkoeyen.com/nimbus-chameleon The difference for me…

I was thinking about something like this the other day. Nimbus has something similar I think http://blog.jeffverkoeyen.com/nimbus-chameleon

I just picked a line out of the area to point to. I'll pose a few questions that go into more about why I believe this is code that isn't straightforward and in general a bad refer…

As much as I love seeing example apps like this I think beginners probably need to be cautious looking at this code. Here are a couple things that concern me: * The UI is all hand …

I think the idea that Apple can't require MAS is wrong. Maybe they can't for everyone but I would bet they can for a lot of people and probably plan to. At some point developers wi…

It should stop that type of piracy for IAP for the most part. From what I have seen those hacks just fake receipts that will not pass this type of validation. What could happen at …

Apple has a way of validating receipts for in app purchases, see: http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/Networ... If you are using IAP in your app and want to keep …
