I was a happy Postman user for a long time. I tried Paw on a lark (the importance of free trials) and loved it. Totally worth the money to me, and I've only scratched the surface with it. I especially like the plugins ecosystem.
Yup. To riff a little bit on those bullet points: If the interviewer[s] is displaying that behavior during an interview, expect the entire company to have exhibit the same stuff, only by an order of magnitude more.
If the interviewer doesn't respect you, then management doesn't respect or listen to employees.
If you only get canned questions, then the company cares more about checking boxes than creative thinking.
If the interview process is complicated, _everything_ is complicated.
If they aren't paying attention, then nobody pays attention in any meeting, so they get repeated, or stuff constantly falls through the cracks.
From what I've gathered, the only thing Gruber is upset about is the name "Standard" Markdown. I don't think he cares if there is some kind of body that has some kind of standards thing. I'd bet that if the "Standard Markdown" people called it something else and even kept the exact same syntax, he'd be fine with it.
Is this kosher? It looks like they're re-bundling the Glyphicons set that comes with Bootstrap[1]. Glyphicons has a free set with a CC by-nd license[2], which wouldn't work here.
I had a similar, but separate issue - after upgrading to iOS 6, my wifi was disabled and wouldn't turn back on. Tried messing with settings, airplane mode, resetting network settings and restoring, but nothing worked. Doesn't look like I'm the only one either: https://discussions.apple.com/message/19620439#19620439
Fortunately the Apple Store replaced it. Free too.
One interesting thing to note is that this is from Bob Mansfield, and not Tim Cook. When Jobs was CEO, I don't remember a subordinate ever releasing something like this.
It's possible, but really hard, especially if you have a family. And actually, building a product in your free time isn't that rough; it's supporting it that will consume all of your free time.
Think about it, let's say you have a perfectly reasonable 40 hour work week. What would be a good extra amount to put into a side project/startup? 20 hours?
Now you're working 60 hours per week, just under an extra 3 hours per night. How long can you keep that up? How much time will that take away from your family?
Let's say you stick it through and launch. The questions and support emails roll in. How much of that will eat up your extra 20 hours per week to work on bugs and new features? And will your customers be ok with waiting the extra time while you slog away at your day job?
And what happens if that 40 hour/week job goes into crunch mode and goes up to 50 or maybe even more?
Doing this isn't necessarily hard in terms of difficulty, but it does take a LOT of time.
I did download the new iBooks and some sample textbooks on my iPad 1. It's definitely on the slow side, but not terrible. Though that may change over time as future iOS versions are released.
