For those who didn't know who the two men are:

Jiro Ono, Japanese sushi chef, is often regarded as one the greatest sushi chefs. Owner of "Sukiyabashi Jiro" a three-Michelin starred sushi restaurant in Tokyo. The documentary "Jiro Dreams of Sushi" is about Jiro Ono, the restaurant and his son.[1]

René Redzepi, Danish chef, and co-owner of the two-Michelin starred restaurant Noma in Copenhagen, Denmark. Voted the best restaurant in 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2014. Renowned for reinventing and refining new Nordic cuisine.[2]

Organization accounts are coming soon:

  Currently, private packages are only available for individual users, but support for organization accounts is coming soon. Feel free to create a user for your organization in the meantime, and we can upgrade it to an organization when support is here.

That's a very good point!

I hadn't thought of it from the point of encouraging/incentivizing the authoring of more public packages.

But couldn't the current model then discourage the authoring of public packages, and lead people to start primarily publishing private packages.

I assume whatever reason people are authoring public packages today won't change because they get a paid account. Let's at least hope that's the case.

Everything looks pretty awesome, except the payment model.

I'm a little surprised they didn't go with a model similar to GitHub: - Payment plans with X number of private modules, or $1/month per private module - Unlimited paying/non-paying collaborators for private modules (perhaps only read access for non-paying)

With npm's model all my collaborators will have to pay for npm private modules as well.

Services like $timeout and $interval are basically just thin wrappers around their vanilla JS relatives(setTimeout and setInterval), there are more examples like this.

The APIs look identical, some with a little added functionality - but the primary reason for the AngularJS wrappers is that they'll automatically call $scope.$apply() for you, so that you don't have to do it yourself.

ReactNative is like Titanium/Alloy. It uses native components to render views, not the DOM. So it has nothing to do with Phonegap except for the use of javascript.

I believe the original poster was referring to the fact that Cordova's whole purpose is to be a testing ground for new browser APIs - and that the goal of the project is to basically become irrelevant at a later point because browser vendors hopefully will have implemented similar APIs.

Sort of like a testing ground for web standards.

But yes, in a technical sense React Native is closer akin to Titanium than Cordova/PhoneGap in its current state.

Correct, the main differentiator would be the notifications and the additional styling on top of the web view.

Goofy was created before messenger.com and had a bit of extra styling afaik.

I've been using Goofy for a couple of months: http://www.goofyapp.com/

This project looks super nice, but native notifications would be nice.

they are not going to spend anything on an unproven idea Exactly!

It's even in their mission statement: > Rocket identifies and builds proven Internet business models and transfers them to new, underserved or untapped markets where it seeks to scale them into market leading online companies.

Yeah, the now deleted comment said something about a bug with the site.

Seems that there was an issue if the first batch of receipts were all of the old format, the guys behind pistats.io is looking into it right now[1]

1) Rendering. 3) Hover states.

It's all HTML and JS under the hood, each "app"(artists, playlist, etc.) differs in their stack - but web technologies. All wrapped up in CEF: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromium_Embedded_Framework

There is even an ongoing list of core functionality which is now broken in the client: https://gist.github.com/TobiasBerg/350a06131d41d2996098

Bonus: try dragging a local file(any extension) into your Spotify client - and yes a HTML file with JS will render(hello alert())

Theoretically speaking, if you were building an PhoneGap/Cordova app binary using a compromised seed of Xcode it would be no different than building a non-PhoneGap/Cordova based iOS app.

So I'm not sure why you are referencing Facebook switching from a WebView-based app to a more native approach.

In addition, if the Xcode installation was compromised nothing should be considered safe on that device going forward.

Along with all the Flappy Bird clones, somebody made something Flappy Braille: http://flappybraille.ndre.gr/

I like the visualization vicapow did on Markov chains a while ago as well.

There is JSCS for Javascript: https://github.com/jscs-dev/node-jscs#options

It seems the book has been taken down now, returns a 404.

My account (@matiassingers) got some very interesting numbers, and most of my photos definitely do have a caption and hashtags.

Relevant to the story last week about a Zalora IPO: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8261742

Wow, what a great job!

This is a really good looking web IRC client and it works so well with notification sounds, favicon updates etc.

The press release from Kinnevik announcing the plans can be found right here: http://hugin.info/1114/R/1853369/647977.pdf

Interesting to see how ~41% of all visits to Zalando are from mobile devices in Q2 2014. [1] DACH still accounts for a significant share (56.8%) of the total revenue in Q2 2014. [2]

Zalando's ownership looked like this after Rocket Internet technically exited last year: [3] - Investment AB Kinnevik: 37% - European Founders Fund: 18% - Anders Holch Povlsen: 10% - DST Global: 9% - Holtzbrinck Ventures: 8% - Tengelmann Ventures: 6% - Others: 12%

Just received my invitation as well!

Try for yourself with the ?dev querystring.

Some of the settings also bind to a key. In the game, try to select thedifferent cameras by pressing 1-5. Or press E and H to preview the explosion/heal effect. Or perhaps stresstest the physics by enable God Mode in the menu and press “Create Puck” or hit the P.

The mirror effect is also using a render target of it’s own. You can try the effect by pressing “M” in the game.
