Great NYer profile of another pop hit lyricist & production team:

Wouldn't this make signing more complex? Currently the bundle doesn't change after you sign it on submission, but it would have to if resources were getting stripped.


Sure, but Apple's code signing stuff could be modified to accept this if it doesn't already. You just need a way to express a requirement that file A or file B must be present, but you don't need both.


This is so strange to see, especially since code.org's tutorials might be the closest thing we've got to a widely used implementation of (some of) Mr. Victor's ideas.


:)


Yeah -- but what are the chances SpaceX would exist if Musk hadn't personally invested the first $100m?

And Tesla might have been cheaper at first, but Musk led the A round and participated in every funding until the F round (!).

Without a deep pocketed founder willing to absorb years of losses, what are the chances Tesla ever makes it to market? Even so they nearly died before they shipped the roadster.


Yes, that's my point; the VCs didn't really enable these companies, Musk did.


My mistake. I thought your point was, "Tesla was much cheaper to start than people think, well within normal parameters for early venture rounds."


If Musk put down his money, isn't he a VC by definition?


He funded his own idea. The definition of "VC funding" isn't a concrete thing. What's important is the distinction between the way companies like Tesla and SpaceX came to where they are today when compared with companies like Instagram and Facebook.


A short description of how it works would probably go a long way for developer adoption. There doesn't seem to be any.

The most obvious way to implement this might not work the same in iOS 7 -- I'd want to know more before relying on it.


Re. how it works behind the scenes, we do a streaming protocol over UIPasteboard, with actions being cached locally and periodically updated from the servers when connection is available. At least for now - we will continue to iterate on the underlying tech to make it faster/more reliable/more secure.

Re. iOS7, it required being a bit more clever, but Ink works with iOS7.

Give it a try, let us know what you think.


Everyone has wanted this for years now. I wouldn't hold my breath.


Chez Panisse and Per Se don't have the same reputation.


It's really neat to see work of this caliber being done, then... simply released on GitHub as an example.


I agree with this:

I freaked out in the beginning because I thought the crummy icons were representative of Apple screwing up the entire new design direction for iOS. But now that I’ve seen the rest of iOS, I’m not that worried.

After a couple days with the beta, it's pretty obvious that Apple didn't, like, FIRE their UI designers or anything. There are a few strange choices, but most of the new OS feels like an improvement when you use it.
