The files are deleted, but any keychain secrets are persisted across app installs.

I was really hoping Visual Studio 2017 for Mac would support this, but it looks like it doesnt have full extension support yet.

Agreed. I think Technical Debt is used incorrectly here, I only consider items debt once they are merged and are intended to be fixed at a future time.

I am not liking this new trend where everything must animate as you scroll.

I really enjoy the Big Nerd Ranch books, although I am a bit biased because they sign my paychecks.

KG4ZHA here. I have been doing it for a little over 10 years now. I second the Baofeng recommendation, it is a great starter radio and you will be able to find a local 2m repeater to participate in.

I would also recommend looking for a local radio club, or see if ARES has an organization in your area.

While not required anymore for HF, I have the most fun with CW. It is amazing what some of the small 1-5w QRP radios are capable of these days. There are plenty of small kits that will get you on the air in an afternoon of assembly.

One interesting benefit I see is the ability to easily parallelize the work. Take a look at the render implementation here - https://github.com/fogleman/pt/blob/master/pt/render.go#L28

Fogleman, you are an incredible developer. I hope to one day have your motivation for side projects like this.

I'd really love to see a video of the product before signing up.

I'm not an expert on licensing, but couldn't Apple continue using the current version of mogenerator? A license change would only prevent them from taking latest.

A Microsoft employee is the editor on this document.

Also, how is binary protocol used to "reduce transparency" ? Its simply a different way of encoding, and once this takes off there will be a vast set of tools for analyzing http/2.0. The purpose of binary is to reduce data transmitted.

Apple really does a good job with this conference. Food is great, sessions are great, and the people are excellent.

Is it worth it? Overwhelmingly yes. First, the labs are the most useful thing you can get out of the conference if utilized. I cant tell you how many issues have been solved and bug reports have been filed because of WWDC labs. If you do find a bug, Apple Engineers really like the challenge of finding a workaround using public API's.

The best part about the conference is the motivation-boost that you and your dev team will get after attending. It can bring so much more productivity to your team just by spending a week with thousands of people, all who challenge you on an intellectual level.

What typeface is this?

A few weeks ago, I had an email from a recruiter that contained a job description that I had written just a few days prior. This guy was trying to recruit me for my own team.

I forwarded it to HR, and our company no longer uses that firm.

We use Gitlab - a nice web UI on top of gitolite. In our world, its the perfect on-premise Git solution.

I am from Atlanta and I dont even know most of the startups around here.

Seems like there might be a need for the startup map.

from someone who has worked a lot with PDF, excellent work.

It is strange the article makes no mention of grand central dispatch. It makes threading easy even for the most inexperienced developer.

It might sound obvious, but I would have written more code. In school you work on such small scale projects it doesn't give you a good sense of what happens in the real world. Work on a large scale open source project that you have a passion for. In addition, learn C. My CS degree was wholly based around java and I regret not forcing myself to learn pointers, memory management and functional programming.
