This seems like a cool way to learn Objective-C and iOS development.

Can I make an entire working app using this, or is it only meant for prototyping/mock-ups?

EdTech is booming, and there is a lot of money to be made. Google Apps for Business is booming. Google Apps for Education, likewise, will boom in the same way.

If you seriously think Google Drive or a Google Docs is going anywhere because your precious Google Reader disappeared, you're nuts.

It looks like it's just scraping the portfolio pages of most of these, and most portfolio directories list nothing more than a company's name and website.

That said, doesn't AngelList or CrunchBase have something like this already? (or at least an API to extract more information from)

I do the exact same, but with the added step of adding the backup passwords for Google/Dropbox to the extra text fields you can add in 1Password. (For the very rare case of "I lost my phone/ipad, am not home for the physical backup codes, but still have access to 1Password on my Macbook")

We're still years away from HTML5 applications reaching the performance of native desktop applications.

Atom.io is too slow for most Sublime users, especially on hardware that is not bleeding-edge.

Note to self, sensationalized media to ignore in the future: recode.net

Wow, that is a really nice site. I'm looking at it in my iPad Mini Retina and it's way better looking than Stackoverflow.

> The reason women complain about being 'discriminated' is because it works so well for them

Probably the most bullshit thing I will have read this month.

That may work for 1 video and a few stills. Now try hundreds of videos and stills. I sure as hell don't want to wade through that.

From an IT support perspective, it could become a minor annoyance. It's not uncommon for support to request the URL or have the user manipulate it in some way. Now they have to instruct the user to click on a button to reveal the URL, but only after identifying if the user is using a browser or the version of Chrome that hides the URL. (And if IT is ignorant of this new feature, they are going to be very confused when the user is arguing with them "There is no URL in the box!")

I did know about and tried vagrant-lxc, and even the per 3rd party vagrant-docker implementations. None of them worked well or provided the right amount of ease of use and features that Vagrant and Docker provided.

Passionate language like that is used all over the industry, especially from start ups. So why is it a big deal if it's used to describe PHP?

If the Ruby on Rails blog made a post saying "Rubyists are makers at heart." would you complain?

> your core business model isn't that hot

You can't just make a statement like that and play it off. Citations? I see Square devices used everywhere in retail, and no, I don't live in San Francisco or the Bay Area.
