This would be a great quiz to give during a job interview if you're hiring a web developer.

Awesome, this is one of the last flash websites that I still use and the flash implementation is so annoying because it doesn't respect the browsers state. Thanks Adobe!

The way you inferred that sounds like how my ex-girlfriend infers emotions from texts. And you quoted him saying something he actually didn't even say--another popular move by my ex. > "…

What resolution are your running your rMBP at? I'm on 1920. When I change my settings, to the default resolution, things get worse.
comment
The footer isn't so bad on a rMBP, but that's still not a very good excuse for why it's so big on lower resolution machines. I did find the information on the page quite helpful.

If this is an Ad, what exactly is Apple trying to sell me? I don't have a background in marketing, but I'm not sure how this is an effective ad? I feel like todays consumers have short atten…

I wrote an open source project and when I landed on the first page of Google's search results, my traffic spiked and continually stays at about 10k-15k requests per week. Before hitting Google…

That was pretty entertaining story. I feel like almost every interview with a startup that I've done has aspects of this story. It's like "We can't tell you what we're doing…

Is there any reason why it is so slow on plain text?

Thanks!

I don't know if you've used the framework or not, but based on your response I'm assuming you haven't. You can't run the library without instantiating and instance of the Pix…

The Simulator wont start but I didn't really look into it. Ever since the first β iOS that Apple developed, they usually do massive changes so I'll wait until β 6+ to re-test it out.

Since this is free, can you please put an download link up that's not hidden behind the license key registration form? Thanks.

Ah the ole' get users THEN make money strategy. I paid for Pixate and I think it had value at the $99 price point. This decision to make it free makes me think that their new strategy taking the…

Not sure if the decision was made due to iOS7, but mine (Paid version) doesn't run on iOS7. IMHO, this is needed even more in iOS7. Some of the UI design choices on iOS7 are terrible like the re…

I'm using it right now, the ./PXEngine.framework directory which is what you import into your project is 5.2M. Honestly, the framework is pretty awesome. It makes styling your application a…

Wow this library looks great. Some of the widgets like the image cropper and schedule look amazing. Thanks fot he post. Edit: Wow, I really like the diagram builder. I've been looking for somet…

I'm not a Sublime user yet, but I've always been interested in it's interface. I'm trying to figure out if it's a replacement for a text editor like VIM or a heavier IDE like…

Would there be a problem if Google just open sourced it's previous platform? They could open source the project and lots of developers could put their own take on the platform. It's probab…

I laughed because you're absolutely right. I just figured that if its near Manhattan, it can't be that bad.

Do those stats include private repos or just open source?

Im surprised billionaires haven't snatched these up and turned them into private islands.

I look at my code from college (our teacher required us to print out everything we coded and physically hand it in along with digital source) and that stuff was actually pretty good. Once I got a rea…

So based on your findings, men are more interested in attractive women... intriguing.

Well seeing as how they are using it in Star Trek and that takes place in ~2265, we've got a few hundred more years. As far as "confusing and boring" I think that depends on the impleme…

He sold me on Hong Kong and now he's leaving. This doesn't look good for our protagonist!

I never actually realized how much time it took to fill up a tank of gas! The next step is to get this working via a Knight Rider style truck so you never even have to stop moving.

I share a lot of same sentiments as the author and I've had experience with a few more languages. The arguments I get from my friends are that "It's the most popular language on the we…

This man's quotes are timeless. He said stuff in 1990 that is applicable to Apple today with it's current leadership. Edit: The review on Amazon doesn't seem that good: http:/…
