You can certainly guarantee you'll never have Alexa assistant inside the nest (like echobee for example)

I work on Amazon Prime Photos iOS app. It's currently 60mb in size, and a good chunk of that is the Swift runtime.

Even the main Amazon shopping app is less than 100mb.

As someone who drinks Bulletproof coffee (ala Brain Octane oil), how does this fit in? Is the concentrated coconut oil in brain octane oil also just as bad? Or is the fact that its very concentrated mean it contains less of the negative qualities?

I feel like what this article is saying is that, just guzzling oil isn't good for you, which is obvious, but in small doses, is it ok?

I'm guessing they had a really low sample size, especially for some of the lower languages (objc/java). Most of the salary per langauge breakdowns i've seen rank mobile skills (android/iOS) nearly highest.

I really like the idea of these 0 lines of code websites, but mostly for more static sites. As you can tell with this site, it's already suffering from lag in a bunch of places, which might be hard to fix. Disclaimer: I have never used bubble.is, but similar products

Ah, you should specify that you need to make an account. For some reason I was thinking this might somehow attempt to do SSO and grab your actual twitter data

As far as I can tell, the login doesn't actually do anything...I think all this kid is claiming is that he made the login page I guess

Did he re-write a swift compiler?? Or is there a way in swift to compile a string?

How is this better than Google maps, which is also available on both platforms?

I agree completely, the crashes are the #1 problem. In fact its almost unbelievable that such a buggy app could be passed through the app store process (I'm sure Facebook gets very special treatment with app store reviews, though).

One big issue I've noticed is that the app is borderline unusable on older devices (iphone 4). This may explain the huge number of people who are reporting these issues, which certainly happen less on newer devices. I've noticed what looks like a small UI hickup on my 5s will crash the iphone 4.

These are awesome. Would be cool to see more docs on the constraints themselves, if possible
