Flamethrowers.


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.


I like Appcode's formatting tools, and could configure it how I like. (I'm only picky about one or two things stylistically, and one or two things that affect code generation: what Appcode does when it generates an @property for me, for example).

I haven't tried sharing these styles across the team who uses AppCode. I'd really like to be able to share styles across IDEs: if some of the team uses XCode they could use the style I've defined. But I don't see a way to share these cross-tool either.

Even Uncrustify integration (export?) for Appcode would be nice, but it's missing. Heck, I'd even like Uncrustify in AppCode, but haven't found a plugin for it.


I quite like AppCode, not for code formatting perse. More because it has decent refactoring support, better code analysis+quick fixes, and very keyboard friendly. I still miss the storyboard support though. I do come from a Java background, using Eclipse and IntelliJ. XCode was a bit of a disappointment coming from there.


I remember trying out AppCode and trying to get the syntax configuration to be exactly how I like, but it wasn't possible. (It wasn't something major, but it was still annoying.) I do agree that AppCode (and IntelliJ) is a nice IDE, but I still stick with Xcode for iOS.


/thread Not sure why any competent iOS developer would be using Xcode (besides poor support for Storyboards which Jetbrains will hopefully sort out). Same thing with any Android developer using Eclipse when IntelliJ is infinitely better.


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.


In the UK it would be forgery - a forged instrument is "any document", and for it to be forgery they have to use it to "induce someone to accept it as genuine, and by reason of so accepting it to do or not to do some act to his own or any other person’s prejudice"

I seriously doubt that the US is going have to have less strict laws regarding forged documents. Just because you think it isn't illegal doesn't mean it actually is.


This logo just screams "compromise".


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


I do that too, I stay out of traffic, and I don't see the problem. Of everyday experiences I'd just as soon miss out on, staring at another DONT WALK sign is near the top of the list. When I want to spend time being creative, I wander around a park aimlessly and ignore my phone; navigating busy streets is just enough hassle that it doesn't work for me.


A colleague of mine has turned this into a game: "Count the Zombies"


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.


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.


Well, the tri-state boolean was a worst-case, but consistent, example. I did mention you should hardly ever need that ;)


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").
