the people going here are actively jumping out of an airplane. they chose to do this and are well aware of the risks. is it dumb? possibly. is this some mad profiteering stealing money from millions and casually ignoring people dying left and right in some cold-hearted money-making scheme? absolutely not. disclaimer: i'm one of those dumb ppl who jumped at this place - quite enjoyed it. slow news day i guess.

If I learned anything from reading this article, music royalties are an extremely hard and complicated thing. Hat tip to them for even attempting to do business in this kind of insane environment.

or all these companies are intentionally making similar press releases in hopes people will catch on that theyre being coerced into denying involvement. this way they're (assuming they have one) fulfilling their denial obligation with the NSA, yet still are protesting what they dont actually want to be doing

This article, although still great for beginners to get started, is using dated techniques that should be avoided.

In the past, developers would have resorted to starting with interface builder to do their designs. As they continued the development process, theyd notice that more and more of their views had to be done in code because Interface Builder wasn't powerful enough to do what they wanted. It could then be understandable why for newer projects, someone would skip Interface Builder altogether and go for code-only from the start.

Things have changed now though. Auto-Layout is extremely powerful in both Interface Builder and through code. Out of the box your visually designed interfaces now support powerful alignment and resizing irregardless of screen size. This is a big deal because there are a lot of screen sizes in iOS these days (iphone4, iphone5, ipad, all of these in landscape and portrait and yet again all these permutations with and without the keyboard open). auto-layout makes internationalization super easy too as all objects on your interface are designed to get bigger as words get longer (such as in German), yet have all associated objects around them still be perfectly aligned. Even right-to-left languages (and interface re-ordering) is supported without any additional code.

Looking at the code in the article, none of these are supported. If you even turn your iphone landscape the ui will be cut off. Let alone supporting ipad, keyboard open, longer words in the buttons/labels, etc.

I highly recommend new iOS developers to start with Auto-Layout from the getgo: https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/UserE...

It's like tables vs css. Use CSS, it's much more portable.

this is exactly why big companies need to invest way more time in risky, it-would-be-cool-if, projects

most studios would have avoided even trying to work on a linux port to their games often citing that there arent enough users to justify the engineering time. yet the unintended consequence of this [allegedly bad business decision] was that they found sizable optimizations to even their flagship Windows version as a by-product of linux optimizations. this in turn brings the system requirements down for the game on Windows, more people can play it, and more profits. all because of the effort used to port to Linux.

cool stuff valve.

Many of the items discussed in this pre-article seem way overkill for what the author seems to be trying to do. It doesn't take much to create an account with a reputable broker like Interactive Brokers that has a good live API for auto-trading (and support paper trading to test your code without using real cash). There are no upfront fees on many brokers and the commission is often minimal depending on the transaction. eTrade has similar APIs. Historical data is available at minimal cost through a sites like eoddata.com. Also, especially if you're just starting and experimenting with formulas, using your personal laptop/desktop with a live feed from IB is more than enough to act on live tick data for the symbols you're interested in.
