For giggles I spent an hour this evening and added support for Disque to the pluggable system I help maintain [0]. Things I can say: the ruby disque library isn't really fleshed ou…

As someone who relies heavily on the Ruby ecosystem to do my job day-to-day, this is really interesting. But I can't tell from the site what exactly it's doing. Are the membership …

"Think of YAML as a human readable Marshal." That's what people missed. YAML is a marshaling format, full stop. The Ruby community has to absorb this idea, and quickly, because YAM…

So you're wanting to reinvent XMPP?

So a guy hacks github, he's a hero. A guy hacks a bunch of media organizations, and he's a villain. I really don't understand the groupthink these days. How is one of these okay, a…

I wrote a post on my blog about that a little less than a year ago. I'm sure some things have improved, but in general, I've moved on. http://tannerburson.com/2011/04/03/Thoughts-o…

I agree, the original piece was a decent explanation of how to refactor some helper type code into a more Presenter like model. But he completely skipped out on the question of why…

You're a bit off here. Appcelerator doesn't actually compile ANY javascript to native code. They expose a device specific API via a proxy/bridge system they call Kroll. They have a…

I appreciate your comment, and it's great that you're reaching out to the developers using your platform. I'm excited to try out the debugging features of Titanium Studio, and hope…

I completely agree with your last sentence. I don't begrudge them opportunities to monetize their platform, but I can't help but be frustrated at watching new functionality being a…

My biggest beefs are: the fact that the build system is a complete black box that fails without a good indicator of what it takes to fix it, and inconsistencies in how events are h…

I haven't bought support, so I can only speculate based on their community forum, and public bug tracker. With that out of the way, unless paid support gets custom code deployed to…

I agree, PhoneGap today looks much better than it did when I started this project on Titanium about 6 months ago. I definitely wish I'd gone that route in retrospect.

I haven't found on device performance to be too terrible for latest gen iPod Touch and iPhone 4. It's definitely inconsistent in places though. You're dead right on debugging, it's…

Move out of the city. In the more rural areas that isn't as true. It's definitely trending in that direction, but there are still a lot of kids who grow up with parents in skilled …

There is nothing (that I'm aware of) stopping you from setting up your own Open ID provider that used the method you described for authentication. The downside of course is that it…
