A method for signing in to a device that doesn’t have a keyboard When we were developing our SoundCloud app for Xbox One, something became very obvious during usability testing: signing in with a game controller really sucks. Entering text requires navigating a virtual keyboard to individual letters, numbers, and characters one at a time – such a nightmare! Plus, letters, numbers, and special characters are spread across three screens. The ..

If airlines had to nominate a kryptonite, they might point the finger at extreme weather conditions. Adverse weather costs airlines billions annually. While planning ahead and allowing passengers to change their flights ahead of a storm can help reduce the loss, dealing with disruptions are a necessary evil in air travel.

It’s been a hectic month getting the academy up and orchestrating the release. I have a mixed bag of updates and announcements we need to make. Specifically covering the surveys for the next academy app, the Kotlin survey , the coming update to 3.7.2 and future milestones. Kotlin As you recall I published a Kotlin survey a while back and we didn’t publish the results. Some of the results were a bit surprising… Let’s review some of the a..

Today, we announced a new Yahoo Mail experience for desktop based on a completely rewritten tech stack that embodies these fundamental considerations and more.

When you start on such a journey, it is important to consider how to deliver such an experience to the users. After all, any consumer feature we build can only make a difference after it is delivered to everyone via the tech pipeline. As we began building out the new version of Yahoo Mail , we wanted....

A very brief update about the progress of searchcode server. Currently I am in the middle of reworking how the index is built and maintained. The idea being I want to add zero downtime index rebuilds which requires a blue/green index strategy. It is still very much in flux but the current design is to merge the indexer and searcher which should allow this to happen. I have been playing around with using an iPad as a production device these ..

By trying to winning the things that don’t matter. You’re playing a poker game, but you’re not really good, and you can really get tricked by the sharks. They’ll give you a few bites, and whet your appetite. You come rushing and eager into their trap and lose the skin off your back. You’re in a relationship, and inevitably end up arguing about how you treat each other. You stand your ground and don’t compromise. You hurt your partner an....

I am seated in my air-conditioned cab on my way to work. I see a transwoman walking towards the car ahead of me, and subsequently to every car waiting in line at the toll booth. She asks for money while offering blessings in return. As I watch her, I think of how fortunate I’ve been; how different my life has turned out. Actually, scratch that. I have been relentless. I have unceasingly not accepted the fate that was handed to me. I have be..

With version 3.7, we have revamped the GUI builder with a designer that allows you to position your elements precisely where you want them. The experience should be closer to what you find in graphical design applications like Photoshop rather than the more rigid “drop in the slot” approach in previous versions of the GUI builder. There are caveats to be aware of with this approach, but overall, it should empower you to build beautiful UIs ..

Even though Gabe and I sometimes have slightly differing views on the iPad’s productivity value compared to the Mac, with his latest post , I think we are completely in sync—metaphorical Chris Farley falls and all. In particular, he nails a massive friction point for me with the iPad: I can type more comfortably on my iPhone than I can with my iPad Pro on the couch, in bed, or even just reclined in the backyard. I’m sure there’s a go....

More specifically, they’ve been keeping track of who everyone’s thesis advisors and subsequent students were. The result is a directed graph (with a current est..

Disclaimer: I don’t advocate using Vim seriously as your primary development environment. As powerful as it is, Vim remains a text editor, not an IDE . I ran into some Xcode problems the other day where I lost syntax highlighting and code completion in Swift files. What should we do when Xcode just doesn’t work? I joked that at this point, it might be easier to just use Vim for my Swift development. Well… ....
