You just jogged my memory about WoW (Windows on Windows) :)

It was in the works after Full Throttle's success, but was cancelled. I don't know the reasons.

Back up. Time to migrate!

My sympathies to any workers displaced by these events, but I'm happy. Parse is a bad product: it has weird quirks in normal usage but most importantly scales abysmally. I'm thrilled to have ammunition to justify moving away from it. Love love love the open source angle however, and wish more sunsetting products go this route.

Two great points. I'll address.

My issue with masonry is that it's a paper thin abstraction over auto layout. There's some nice syntactic sugar, like chained calls to layout rules. Ultimately I think there's room for some containers that give up flexibility in exchange for simplicity in code and mental model

Thoughts? Does anyone care?

That's all you need to do to make money on stocks, or bonds, or any other speculative trade. The trick is being consistent :)

There is a difference between "shit talk" and rooting out personal contact information to then send death or rape threats. I don't think anyone expects an experience akin to high tea with the Queen, but no one deserves to be threatened. Everyone, consciously or not, wants respect.

It's simple in theory but hard in practice. It likely has to come from guidance. As a parent, I expect I will have to teach her how to engage with people both on and offline.

There's a reason we force kids to line up and shake the opposing team's hands after a soccer game.

Realizing you had more options at your disposal because you were not submitting to the App Store was a cool hack.

Are there places where "birds of a feather" congregate? Forums, lists, etc? I'm excited to tap the wisdom of others as I get my business off the ground.

For the same reason dating couples breakup: because something changes, externally or internally, that makes staying together less desirable than splitting up. I've been married for 3+ years, and been with my spouse for almost 10. We have a child. There is, to put it lightly, momentum that keeps us together along with societal pressures (a dad married to the mom is superior to the dad divorced from the mom, all other things equal.)

I'm not posting to comment on whether this pressure is good or bad, but merely to point out it exists. We live in a culture that celebrates weddings and proposals and scandalizes divorce (look at any tabloid for copious examples), but has little to say about the tenure between.

The trend of dating long term, co-habitation, and finally "tying the knot" late in the relationship is an interestingly recent development in America. I'm curious to see how the data on US divorce evolves as this trend matures. Most of my peers (I'm late Gen X) and Millenials I know are following this pattern.

I suspect it is a direct reaction to generations raised in divorced households, but I have no proof of this.

EDIT: small clarification.
