Pretty much what I would do. Netflix has such a large catalog, that I don't bother cancelling during periods when I'm not even using the service. If the content I'm interested in is spread through various services, I'll simply sign up, watch what I wanted to watch, then cancel. One month's subscription is enough for me to catch up on a season's worth of some series I like.
This however creates the incentive for providers to start enforcing long term contracts for the regular price, or a much higher price for a monthly plan, in which case DVDs will be relevant again for me.
I'm on the same boat, the only complaint being the lack of history search. And I like Discord so much that I switched our office from Hipchat to Discord, despite it being exclusively marketed towards gamers.
We have been completely happy with the switch, in special the ability to hop into voice chat with remote coworkers with one mouse click.
This was incredibly educational for me. My only feedback/request would be to reinforce the difference between `align-content` and `align-items`. I still don't quite get when to use which.
I too struggled on the last level, which was certainly jarring because the ramp up until that point was quite gentle.
That said, I did enjoy the last level as a challenge; it prompted me not only to review earlier levels, but also check documentation elsewhere. Much like a real-world challenge, these can be valuable learning experiences.
I might be the exception, but I find Github comments much easier to digest and manage as an archive than mailing lists. In all the years working in the industry, I could never get used to mail lists.
To counterbalance, I think the Beats products look great and I've been tempted to buy them, but this very "image" around the brand sets me off greatly. That's the problem with endorsements, you end up wrangling your brand image with that of the celebrities endorsing your product.
I've been using this for a while, and it's wonderful to parse the output from API calls requested via curl, as well as quickly checking a specific package.json field from the npm output. The --json flag is handy for the latter.
You just need to get used to incorporating Dash into your workflow. If it helps convincing you, Dash also has tabs and uses the same shortcuts as Chrome.
Apple is a big, rich corporation. But in that campus there are still human developers.
Radical hypothesis: what if this started as a pet project, got the attention of more employees, then management (with or without convincing from said developers). Management sees the value in the project, and funds it officially. You know, like other big, rich corporations...such as Google.
While Angular can certainly be used for simple progressive enhancement-kind interactions, its strength lies in single page/fat client apps, and in this case not having javascript and still getting basic functionality would mean duplicating it on the server. Still, it would be a good idea to display a noscript message alerting the user about the JS requirement.
That's pretty neat, but this demo uses some sort of scrolling emulation, so in the iPhone (tested in a 4s) this particular implementation breaks: Taping the status bar to scroll to the top, momentum scrolling, elastic bounce at both ends.
The bit about taking a picture of food you are about to consume and reading/logging nutritional data might be closer to viability once smartphones get Kinnect-like 3D sensors, making it possible to read volume data. Google's [Project Tango](https://www.google.com/atap/projecttango/) is one such initiative.
Does anyone know of any computer vision research into identifying food?
That seems to be the "loading indicator". I was confused for a second, then it just faded away. I don't think there's a browser API to actually know wether the user has headphones plugged in or not.
This however creates the incentive for providers to start enforcing long term contracts for the regular price, or a much higher price for a monthly plan, in which case DVDs will be relevant again for me.
