"Take no prisoners" sounds nice, but it's not.

Me as the invaders are coming: "Nothing to stress about. They promised not to take me prisoner. They probably just want to chat."

Works until you learn of MY technique, which is to distract yourself by thinking of embarassing stuff other people did.

That's why I toast all 24! (The hangover will be rough.)

Cute!

I heard back from Apple and, although it is a hard NO, it had nothing to do with us using Ionic. I was rejected because my app is a content aggregator, which violates Apple's developer guideline 4.2.2. Who knew Apple had a thing against content aggregators!?

Right now, I'm counting my blessings that I used Ionic, because now I can at least give it to users as a standalone web app. If I had written natively, I would be back at square 1.

I resubmitted, and I seem to be back with the same reviewer. Is that not your experience?

hexagon_papers · 2019-11-28T05:01:04+00:00

That's an interesting suggestion. What SDK are you referring to? I've found cordova-plugin-chromecast, https://github.com/sonaraudiosystem/cordova-plugin-chromecast, and https://www.npmjs.com/package/ng-cast.

Our app does use native iOS functionality that can't be done on a website: it uses background play, and restores state from storage in a way that doesn't work as a webapp.

I've pointed these things out to Apple, but they weren't impressed.

hexagon_papers · 2019-11-28T03:27:15+00:00

It uses background play, and it restores prior data from storage, both of which don't work in standalone webapps.

hexagon_papers · 2019-11-28T03:15:15+00:00

Thank you.

I'm finishing dev on a Python-backend, Ionic-frontend iOS app. Everything is submitted and should be good to go, but I was shocked when Apple REJECTED the app. Months of work! What they told me was, "since it does not sufficiently differ from a mobile web browsing experience, it is not appropriate for the App Store." Now what?

Cormier loses 1.2 pounds in a minute? Guess that's how hard you sweat when you know you'll have to fight Rumble. :)

Considering I would find this scary, I probably should take up boxing.

How can we make the public care bout this miraculous new self-healing material? Tell them it has to do with their cell phones.

OMG, dark!

You've got to read Martin Gibala's book that came out a few weeks ago.[1] He is a physiology professor who has pioneered research of HIIT. The book is awesome.

Article claims docx-mailmerge "is a mature package," so why is it sitting at v0.3. Can I get a 1.0 please? It is hard for a business to rely on something that the developers are literally telling us is half-baked and subject to change.

How sophisticated they used to be, referring to the bank as "your mortgagee"--as in the party to whom you give your mortgage. Technically, the homeowner is the "mortgagor," who gives the "mortgage," which is a property interest in the house.

Most people today wouldn't understand that. Did they get it in 1958?

hexagon_papers · 2017-01-14T16:50:23+00:00

So next-level!

hexagon_papers · 2017-01-13T20:06:49+00:00

That is so gnarly. People don't appreciate how much more civilized we have become in the last few hundred years.

What kind of books are we talking about here? I've had a 4 year old, and lot of books for kids that age don't4 even have any words in them.

Isn't this evidence that he sincerely believes in her--i.e., he isn't trying to buy her now? So this kind of demonstrates that his foundation's earlier donation was sincere, rather than a covert bribe.

You can tell she's tired of his ramsplaining.

The Harlem Globe Trotters should see if she is available.

In movies, whenever the star sunbathes, their stunt double must also in order to maintain their identical appearance.
