There is potentially a big legal difference between tinkering on your side projects at work, compared to carving out time for them at home. Unless you have a specific exemption in …

Do these corporite politics apply to a company the size of, say, segment.io? How about Dropbox? Apple? I have a hunch that they type of politics you encounter will vary widely base…

SEEKING WORK: I'm a full-stack freelancer with experience managing, developing and deploying projects in PHP (Symfony, Drupal), Python (Django, Flask) and Javascript (Node.js, Expr…

How many data points do you need to uniquely represent every person in earth? I bet its a smaller number then the number of constraints and requirements in your system.

I'm sorry for coming across as a dick, but the idea that you "wasted" time learning a framework that became obsolete is silly to me, and it seems to be a common sentiment. Ask your…

I couldn't have said it better myself :) One hard lesson I learned is that you can't bet on a front end framework having the same mindshare for very long. The churn can get pretty …

I agree there. Deciding on tooling for a long term project is a very tough balancing act. Although I am a bit afraid that people overestimate the costs of rolling your own code, or…

Those problems are best solved with Engineering best practices and culture, in my opinion. Each tough / innovative problem is probably somewhat unique for your startup, and picking…

What is wrong with leaving everyone high and dry? The CEO has no qualms about doing that to devs. If an engineer leaving puts the company in a bad spot, then they are understaffed …

I think the truly important question is: Are those differences caused biology or society?

It's far worse on low-memory Android, in my opinion. iOS apps have to support being suspended and resumed (although bad apps still do it badly). This forces apps to deal with this …

That almost looks like it was built by a mechanical engineer, not an electrical engineer. All the effort seems to be focused on building a sturdy case for the batteries, and the ac…

Why can't you just verify that the whole chain is SHA-1 instead of using the expiration date as a heuristic?

You keep bringing up Microsoft without mentioning thhat they gave their users 2 years of notice, while you are giving your users less then 6 months.

I think your last paragraph is generic enough, we can use it as a reply to your comment: You really aren't that good as you think. Your problem is you grossly overestimate your cap…

What about credit cards? Chargebacks are quite common.

Also, let's not forget about the fact that all those controls are /tactile/, which means they can be operated without moving your eyes at ll.

What problems do dependency injection solve for you? I haven't had a chance to use it yet, and I've always been curious about its benefits in real projects.

I'm really excited to check out this Nunkucks project. I ended up evaluating a bunch of JS Jinja-style libraries and also ended up choosing SWIG. Unfortunately, SWIG does not run w…

Fortunately, with a bit of hacking, this style of syntax is possible without generators :) (I'm hoping to open source a library I wrote that works all the way back to IE6) Here's y…

That's not quite true -- it is entirely possible to write a 64-bit integer class entirely in Javascript, and have a JIT / ASM.js compiler recognize that and swap out a native versi…

You can check out code samples in a bunch of different languages here: http://www.robertpenner.com/easing/ Funny note: That site and code has been around since the early Actionscri…
