schukin | 8 years ago | on: Show HN: Buglife – In-app bug reporting and feedback for iOS and Android

Cofounder here, happy to answer any questions! We actually launched last year, but our SDKs were closed source until today. We’re still new to OSS, and hoping to get some feedback on... well, everything. :)

We also wrote up a blog post on our decision to go open source: https://medium.com/buglife/open-source-f8e1b5fe3b75

Anyone try AppCode for code formatting? I've noticed many Obj-C developers shy away from using anything other than Xcode, but AppCode's code formatting is about as good as it gets.

Disclaimer: I'm in no way affiliated with the developers, I just find it to be an underrated/overlooked Obj-C IDE.

How is photoshopping a bank statement/utility bill for the sole purpose of activating a Facebook account a "criminal offense"?

The same question somewhat applies to government-issued IDs depending on state/country, since many laws regarding falsified IDs only apply to purchasing tobacco/alcohol.

This logo just screams "compromise".

Ten minutes at a busy intersection in downtown San Francisco will yield frightening results.

schukin | 14 years ago | on: Google+ gets a redesign

I chuckled when I scrolled up and down this blog post, and paired it with the headline indicating a "simpler" Google.

I would imagine a new language would be twice as deadly at a company that has zero QA personnel.

schukin | 14 years ago | on: Don't overload #nil? in Ruby

You probably shouldn't use 'nil' to mean 'false', but since pretty much every compiler / interpreter out there will take the same branch when given a condition that's either nil or false, I'd say it's much safer to stick w/ what's existed for decades rather than accommodate some sort of tri-state boolean.

schukin | 14 years ago | on: Make things

I would say Jobs, Zuckerberg and Page fit that quote's profile nearly de facto.

Edit: However, I agree with your second statement. Though there's a wide gap between "leader" and whatever you would call the individuals I mentioned (yes, I'm trying to avoid terms such as "visionary").
