AltWWDC is not the same as CocoaConf - http://altwwdc.com/


Real ramen has nothing in common with those packaged noodles. A big bowl of ramen soup with lots of meat, seafood & a hardboiled egg is heaven.


See, what you do is buy the ramen packets, a bag of frozen shrimp, and a dozen eggs. Bring the water to a boil, let the ramen rehydrate, then crack an egg right into the pot. Add some frozen shrimp and let it sit for a minute, then break the yolk and stir. Cook until the yolk solidifies and serve.

Duh.


It's probably a lot cheaper and easier to go and buy Chinese noodles if that is the end result.


This is why I like an open console like the OUYA (which I should be receiving any day now).


I would like it more if it was a true console with no yearly refreshes.


I got rid of my car when I moved to San Francisco. I haven't missed it.


I really hate the flat design. I prefer to see some depth as a indicator that something is clickable & active.


Android 4.x/Holo doesn't get enough credit for absolutely nailing the right balance. It's "flat", but has depth.

Going purely by the strength of their design team, I'd expect iOS 7 to be closer to Android-flat rather than Metro-flat.


It really needs push notifications


I subscribe to Instapaper but I switched to Pocket because I prefer their UI. I keep begging them to take my money.


This might be a good alternative for someplace like my company where team members are in different time zones. When I'm getting to work around 9 in SF, it's already evening for the team members in Bulgaria.


Yes, those are exactly the questions I've seen on credit checks to verify my identity.


The problem with this theory is that a credit check needs an SSN. An SSN wouldn't have confused OP with his father.


Oddly enough it doesn't. For example, you can perform a credit check via this API using only a name + address:

I have personally used this API, and it works.


SSN data isn't flawless. My brother and I somehow had the same SSN until I was in my teens (right as I started working but before he did so thankfully it wasn't too difficult to fix).


Doesn't matter. The credit bureaus mix people up all of the time, particularly if you shared a name and street in the past.

My wife and mother in law share a first name. And a middle name that varies by one letter. (Ie. Mary Ann and Mary Beth) credit reports routinely mix them up.

When I was in school in 1996, a collector managed to get a business debt of my grandfather (who shared a name and died in 1986) attached to me.


The current notation works & musicians have been learning & using it for centuries. I'm not a musician, but I've learned to read traditional music notation. It's not that hard. Why fix what isn't broken?


Why some people create new languages or new alphabets? Because it's fun, and why not?
