Matt Galligan: Apple iMessage and Poor User... →
mattgalligan:
When iMessage was announced, I immediately thought it was brilliant. Not only for getting away from the ancient SMS protocol, but as a method of delivery of messages across multiple devices. Now that plenty of people had both an iPhone and an iPad, how great would it be if I could message…

There’s so much bad opinion out there on the internet.
I don’t feel the motivation to correct people.

quick question. https://gist.github.com/1228170 --> in function(rs), success() is called. is that calling the variable in function test1(success)? is that a javascript design pattern?
jyap: What do you mean?
yes and yes jyap
Oh. Yes
in mean i see success() is called. i don't get how it works.
Wa: where can i read up more about this design pattern? does it have a name?
success is an identifier, it doesn't matter whether it was a variable name or function name. You can set a function reference to a variable and call the variable etc
it's just a callback
in such a case, success s- yeah that ^
you can call back to the same function? is that what it's doing?
test1(function(){console.log("complete")}); it'll execute that function
it's a different function (success), which is used to "call back" from within test1
well that was an example but I guess they have that inline
test1(function() { util.log("SUCCESS"); process.exit(0); }) see that part
that function they made is passed as the success argument
test1(function() { util.log("SUCCESS"); process.exit(0); }) --> that's an inline function?
well it's called an anonymous function
or just a function expression
test1(function namedFunctionExpression() { })
but yes, it's just creating that function and passing it as the first argument (ie. success)
yes
oh, i see, it's passing in that function as the argument
i'm less confused now. thanks all.
Metro and no Flash →
Running Metro style IE plug-in free improves battery life as well as security, reliability, and privacy for consumers. Plug-ins were important early on in the web’s history. But the web has come a long way since then with HTML5. Providing compatibility with legacy plug-in technologies would detract from, rather than improve, the consumer experience of browsing in the Metro style UI.

Some thoughts.
The single biggest driver of sales is the App Store itself.
So very true for 99% of apps. Other methods are advertising, cross-promotion, etc…
Don’t do your big push at Version 1.0. Instead, release v1.0 early and get as much feedback as possible.
That’s debatable.
Think about paid versus free.
True.

Promoted Tweets soon to invade your Twitter feed →
“We’re expanding Promoted Tweets,” Costolo said. “You’ll start seeing them from companies you don’t follow. We’ve been super cautious about that, we didn’t want to sacrifice user experience.”
Any time you introduce ads you’re sacrificing user experience.
Early Dash programming language mailing list post →
Even smaller-scale apps written by hobbyist developers have to navigate a confusing labyrinth of frameworks and incompatible design patterns.
That’s been my experience when dealing with Node.JS. There is no standard library with JavaScriot and documentation sucks. Overall very inconsistent, ideosyncratic and confusing.
Dash will be designed so that a large subset of it can be compiled...
Title goes here
So this is probably as self referential as it gets.
Tumblr has a nice interface for multiple blogs.
I’m trying to create something simple. Kind of like http://parislemon.com.
“No Seriously…” I’m trying to keep that thematic to photography.
And Tumblr has a simple interface overall.
And I don’t buy ads so I’m not a Google customer. Blogger just...
