I know about them. But I would have to root my phone to install them. And that means trusting some binary blob from someone on the internet. So I would not do it.
some of the function names make
me want to stab people
What would be an example?
My only real gripe with PHP is
the annotation syntax
What do you mean? Afaik there is no "annotation syntax" in PHP. Could it be that you confuse what certain frameworks and IDEs do with PHP, the language?
When I want to write a script that runs on startup, I expect that I can just put (or link) it in some directory where the scripts are that get started on startup. Or that there is one main script that calls all scripts that are intended to be startet on startup.
I do not want to write a "service" that has some "only run once and then discard" flag or whatever.
When I want to look at logs, I want to use the tools I like. less, grep, tail etc. I do not want to dabble with some binary format and its tooling.
When I want to start or stop a service, I want to call a script that does that. A script which I can look at and see what it does. Like /etc/init.d/apache2. I do not want to execute some magic command like "service apache start" which I have to guess or look up and which gives me no clue about what it does.
Eric, how is your service tied to GitHub? As far as I understand it, you simply are a matchmaker for developers and advertisers. And you track clicks to the advertisers urls. Where the developers put the links to those urls is not your decision, right?
If so, I don't think GitHub has an angle to attack you.
A developer with a Commission Junction account could very well put CJ links in their README. That would not give GitHub a vector to attack CJ.
Ever since I switched from Photoshop to Gimp, I have desperately waiting for non-destrutive editing aka adjustment-layers / filter-layers. It has been years now...
So I was excited to see a new version. Checked the features and ... nope.
Can these people really do something useful for a startup?
