I can't believe Blogger still does not change this redesign. It lags when I scroll text . It has this silly layout dropdown. The top bar obscures content. Why.

>I like this, but it seems too cryptic for a true novice to actually learn from, especially if they've never been exposed to Lisp syntax. Who is the intended audience? Well, I am definitely …

This is exactly why Telegram rocks. From http://telegram.org/privacy : Secret chats use end-to-end encryption. We do not store your secret chats on our servers. We also do not keep …

It's very nicely made. I love how instead of hijacking scroll, it “plays with” the scroll, turning the videos off and on.

You may as well make this argument against human speech. We need secure transport, not gibberish protocols.

... Or if maybe they're getting everyone else's misattributed mail.

Jeremy, thanks! I tried overriding Model's `parse` in 1.0 but wasn't satisfied because it seems to be called in some cases but not the others. (I can't recall a specific example right n…

Where can I read more about changes related to nested model parsing and submodels? This is something I had to implement just a week ago, and I resorted to overriding `set`. I wonder if they made it ea…

Since you're asking... Had I updated to iOS 7, every single animation on my phone would have become jaggy, and the camera would just take forever (instead of current 15 seconds) to load. Oh wait,…
comment
How about hardware design doesn't allow it because the thing being stored is a hash ?
comment
I thought the same, and I freaked out a little bit because this was something I was thinking about just an hour ago (some sort of parallax).
comment
The debugger analogy is spot on.
comment
If I did that, the code would always return at the first GetSession call. Instead, it unwraps exceptions, and while it propagates cancelations, it ignores other exceptions and tries other providers in…
comment
Exactly, and thus I'll be able to try next provider in the loop.

StackOverflow killed forums for me, as I believe for many others. And I don't miss them. (Almost.)

In some scenarios it simplifies the code greatly.
It may or may not be applicable to your app. Just a few weeks ago I was able to convert a nightmare-ish recursive asynchronous method to a `foreach` l…

I think your parent is arguing that, despite TaskCompletionSource exists, some people still don't use it much and resort to callbacks (presumably because they have not learned about it). As i…

There is also WTF in WebKit source. It stands for Web Template Framework, but it's funny it appears all the time in crash reports: http://google.com/search?q=wtf+webkit+crash For…

What is it that I said that sounds naïve to you? That NSA can't force a company to include fingerprint sensors in their new phone?
comment
Then how about that? >But Apple executives, including Mr. Jobs, were seriously considering selling a less-expensive but similar phone as early as 2009, according to former executives involved in th…
comment
Whose data, jailbroken phone owners'? I'm not following you.
comment
Do you really fail to see the difference between disclosing user info already on the servers to the NSA under legal orders and announcing a new product after the leaks, claiming it does not send…

>Now that Jobs is gone Seriously, what does this have to do with the point you're making?
comment
But would they still go about implementing it? I mean, it sounds crazy from a business perspective.

Tim Carmody's tweet suggests you can still use the numeric code: https://twitter.com/tcarmody/status/377495998727483392 …

Don't you think this would be a huge scandal, if it was revealed? Considering they specifically say it is not uploaded? Just saying. Why would they take such a risk?
