San Francisco: The Miniature City by PunchYouInTheVaginain sanfrancisco

I am a film doofus. How was this created?

Google listens to frustrated developers; steps in to "exert more control” over Android apps and hardware ecosystem. by shaq32in androiddev

[–]gjtorikian 8 points9 points ago

This is highly laughable. Exactly one year ago, Google "guaranteed" an 18-month upgrade cycle: https://www.google.com/search?sugexp=chrome,mod=2&ix=h9&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&q=Google+I%2FO+18+month+upgrade+guarantee

I would rather they just shut up then pretend they're going to do something about it.

Secret Public Spaces by RGcoin sanfrancisco

[–]gjtorikian 2 points3 points ago

Really. I'm so tired of this PDF popping up over and over again.

What is it with urbanities always craving to discover the new "secret" location/eatery/bar ? This isn't an SF-only thing, of course, it happens in NY and LA, too.

Pro tip: if someone tells you about a "secret," it's not a secret.

TIL: [\+-\n] RegExp matching doesn't work, but [-\n\+] does by gjtorikianin javascript

[–]gjtorikian[S] 0 points1 point ago

Damn it ! This is why regexps at 1am are not a good idea...

It's actually a mystery that this works at all. Currently it's performing the exact behavior I want it to.

I am Al Lowe, creator of Leisure Suit Larry. AMA! by allowein IAmA

To all of the Sierra developers here: thank you. Your games really made my childhood happy. I bonded with my father over many of them. (LSL was, heh, not one of them. I played the game privately after finding the floppies in my dad's cabinet.)

Needless to say, I will obviously donate, and wish everyone great successes.

Android dev that picked up his first iPad--any tutorials online that make analogies of "x in Android is y in iOS" ? Or beginning tutorials for Android devs that switched? by gjtorikianin iPhoneDev

[–]gjtorikian[S] 0 points1 point ago

To be clear, it's not that I don't want or need to learn Obj-C--I fully understand that. But if I want to make a good app, I need to understand how the app lifecycle works. What am I allowed to interact with? How do I handle memory management? malloc, e.t.c. ?

I have an Intel Mac and XCode; I'm not a novice. Nor am even close to the realm of "what are UI standards in apps." I just want to know how they run.

Yes it only took three years.

ViewFlipper / UI Paradigm Imitating Google Play's "Preview" style? by gjtorikianin androiddev

[–]gjtorikian[S] 0 points1 point ago

I missed this post somehow. Thanks for the info! Haven't added the compat lib but I'll try it out now.

His guardian died and he's looking for a home. He's at San Francisco SPCA. (x post from r/cats) by mugerinoin sanfrancisco

[–]gjtorikian 4 points5 points ago

I can't find his info on the SPCA website: http://www.sfspca.org/adoptions/cats

How can I get more info?

TIL there is a Japanese cream puff chain called Beard Papa's that sells cream puffs in flavors like Nutella, Limoncello, Key Lime Pie, Banana, Pina Colada, Earl Grey tea, and Baileys Irish Creme. by kolinskyin todayilearned

[–]gjtorikian 0 points1 point ago

How is this a TIL?

What if I fucking posted "TIL there is an American hamburger chain called Carl's Jr. that sells large burgers that can have meat, chicken, or fish" ?

Public screening of "Kony 2012" in Northern Uganda - including many who were terrorized by the LRA - results in anger, offense, puzzlement by no_srslyin worldnews

[–]gjtorikian 77 points78 points ago

"It's just so obviously done that I don't get how you'd be roped in."

Man I cannot tell you how many conversations I've had with my girlfriend about this. Neither of us get "roped in" to anything, but I'm always baffled why people do, and she's very insightful as to all sorts of advertising trickery. I wonder if there's some part of the brain that controls this: the able to detect bullshit, the ability to be pulled into bullshit, and the blend of the two.

Gigabit Internet for $70 via Sonic.net (Bay Area) by jacobstrixin sanfrancisco

[–]gjtorikian 5 points6 points ago

I've been interested in switching to Sonic, but held off because, truly, their website looks like it was designed in 1997. And I'm picky like that.

But, the article reinforced all the positive things I've heard about them, so I'll be making that transition soon.

grep piping into sed, replacing inline; but I want sed to print the filename and changed line. Is it possible? by gjtorikianin commandline

[–]gjtorikian[S] 0 points1 point ago

Thank you, this got me quite close to where I needed to be!

My app, Shelves, needs a new maintainer--this is a paying "free time" job by gjtorikianin androiddev

[–]gjtorikian[S] 0 points1 point ago

No worries. When the app first came out, a lot of people complained, and I got a few one star reviews, because they claimed I was stealing his code.

Despite the fact that I asked permission for a fork on his blog. Blah, users.
