Great post


My rating is based on 1) Noise Cancellation quality 2) Price 3) Battery Life

Been using it for 3 years now, no complaints (one for office and other for home)

I have the second pair you listed, and find them terribly uncomfortable to wear for more than a half an hour or so. I've tried stretching them on a medium-sized cardboard box but didn't notice much improvement. They make my head feel like it is being crushed, and give me a terrible headache rather quickly. They crush my ears into my skull too. The noise canceling and battery life on them are great, but if you considering purchasing these and have a slightly larger-than-average sized head, this is something you should consider.


Why don't you send your resume to careers@shiftleft.io


Big fan of the visual devOps paradigm. Also installation is painless and non-invasive


Prismatic is beyond Google Reader in terms of features and utility. It's my default application for discovery at this point


boom! and let us know how we can make it better!


I'm getting a 400 error when I try to complete the 'choose a username' screen. No visible reaction to pushing the continue button at all, but the error shows up in chrome's console. "Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token O"


what browser and os? does it persist?


Chrome 25 on windows 7. I just tried again from scratch, without going through the google oAuth page, and its worked this way. No idea what went wrong the first time around.


Congrats on the launch


Thank you! After months of slowly building and perfecting the iPhone app it feels great to finally be able to share it with everyone.


Congratulations! What was the hardest and/or most rewarding part?

I am assuming you abandoned most of stock UIKit and built custom implementations.


Thanks!

Hardest and most rewarding was all the serious engineering we did to make the app and gestures fun and fast. Most of the components in the app are custom, from the navigation controller to the story menu down to the scroll physics. Aria just answered this Quora question that goes into some of the details.

If you have any particular things you'd like us to elaborate on, we'd be happy to answer your questions.


Of course. Strange Loop 2011.


What are the other types that can be applied to workUnit in the startWork?

It would be ideal to support Thrift protocol transports too


We have no plans to support Thrift.


All assertions are valid. Totally agree
