@bmike The Razer Naga was the one I wrote about way back when

Hey

But I'm not aware of any other good podcast apps for OS X that sync with iOS, so it's what I'll be using for the moment.

@bmike Instacast is great on iOS; it's my only podcast app. The Mac version beta is good, but needs some improvements to be on par with the iOS ones.

And that 70% is the fun part :)

@daviesgeek I'd say 30% of it is general programming stuff (which you have a good head start on) and 70% is learning and getting good at the ObjC- and UIKit-specific patterns and APIs.

@bassplayer7 (If I may jump in) Some basic programming skills and concepts apply to both, but there's very little that's similar between the languages and frameworks themselves. Be prepared to pretty much learn new ways of doing most things. +@daviesgeek

But I'm still not sure of the use case. Would this ever be faster than just typing the word?

Looks like it's actually been around in some form for a long time: hints.macworld.com/article.php?story=20031019214026732

It's a cool feature, but I've never actually used it :p

@duci9y It works in other apps too. I've always used the escape key instead of command+., but both work.

@borderline Hey, want to pop into chat for a minute?

@bmike It got down to ~50% today and didn't have throw any failure notices.

@bmike No errors from mine.

Anyone interested in an app.net invitation? I've got a few if anyone wants to try it out.

Never hurts to run a hardware test before buying anything.

@stuffe Haha, I may have get creative with the trails in my area :P. The custom segment editor is kinda fun to use.

No no, the point of having a standard is so that companies have something that everyone can agree to ignore so that they don't accidentally forget to lock you into their own ecosystem.

Cyclemeter is ugly but it has lots of import/export stuff, if I remember right. Does lots of different types of activities.

Ah, I see. Never tried to use it for indoor stuff. Their site has a GPX export feature but you have to do it manually for each ride. Fwiw, the only difference afaik between the two Strava apps is defaults; both work for everything.

Really? What about it?

@stuffe Since you mentioned bikes: I love Strava's service and app for tracking rides and runs.

But there are maybe two or three of them on G+, vs hundreds on Facebook. So... not really a fan.

The site seems cool, so I would be willing to be a fan if any of my real-life friends were on it.

Speaking as someone who hasn't really done anything with assembly: probably

IMO learning it so you can use it in mobile apps shouldn't be the big motivation; it just isn't very practical for anything other than playing around with.

If you think it will be fun and you want to learn machine code, definitely. Personally I would rather learn ARM or something more modern, but you should stick with something that interests you.

Many/most of us do

@Emil Wasn't me, sorry. Do ask on Meta if you think it was declined in error.

As far as getting notified of new messages in general, you just have to check in.

You will get a notification on the main site if someone @-mentions you by name, but there's a bit of a delay.

Ah, just saw your meta post. One addition to Mike's answer: if a comment conversation gets long enough, the site will automatically give you the option to make a chat room to discuss and send the other person a link.

For a room in general you can just copy the URL

Or do you mean to a room in general instead of a specific message?

@Globalnomad Hover over the message and click the down arrow on the left side. There's a 'permalink' link at the top of the box that appears.

A couple of them, I think. Don't remember who though :/

(I kid. I would never wish that fate on any phone)

@stuffe Well was it at least that silly Android one you got? :P

@daviesgeek No, I use Bridge and Photoshop/Camera RAW. But Aperture is much more geared towards large libraries than iPhoto and does Faces.

@daviesgeek Aperture does

@daviesgeek Bridge, Lightroom, or Aperture are all going to be better than iPhoto for library management.

@bmike Yes! Love those.

Just don't try to use Homebrew and MacPorts at the same time. That didn't go so well for me.

Glad it was okay. I wasn't sure if it was best here or on SO, but it got good answers here.

This answer is a good idea, though. Probably the route I'll go if I do add sync.

@TildalWave So I guess it's a really bad idea then :)

:) Go for it!

@patrix Your English seems spot-on to me and your participation and history is great. You'd get my vote!
