I just switched to a WP (Titan II) last week. It may be new phone smell but I really like it. I wasn't a heavy app user though.
In showing the phone to my family/friends the biggest confusion I have found was the People pane. They thought in terms of the Facebook app and the Twitter app. Once I explained that those apps are all 'in' the people pane and linked to their phone profile things went smoothly. Overall I felt they really liked the look of the phone.
Personally I like the social media integration and the tile interface look. Rather than a feeling of reaching out to Twitter or Facebook those things are delivered to me. I don't have Joe on Facebook and Joe on Twitter, etc. I just have Joe and all his updates are delivered and grouped together in a nice way.
I was sad to see WebOS die because of the way it handled people like they were people, instead of accounts on services. I'm glad Windows Phone picked up that torch, even though I wish WebOS had succeeded. The only time I go into the Facebook app on my phone is to see who "liked" my status (no idea why the baked-in app doesn't show this) if it's a rare moment when I really feel the need to know this information.
Seamless conversations between text and IM is another feature picked up from WebOS that I feel is invaluable once you start using it.
Do you have any good links/references/experience with 'managing social media'? My wife has been offered a social media position with a small local company but neither of them know 'what to do' beyond managing facebook and she really wants to do well at the job (she's excited!) so is looking for ideas.
Suggests that your provider ("trusted broker") creates your mintchip ids. It might be possible to associate many keys to your physical person but I believe all of them could be traced back with the co-operation of the providers.
It also appears to have a random? element with regards to ball behaviour. Each run of this
https://developers.google.com/events/io/input-output/ahNzfmd... ends up different. Sometimes it hits the wall, sometimes goes over it and sometimes it makes in into the output. (should be two items on your screen - resize until you see a Track and a Wall)
Seems difficult to design and share if ball behaviour changes run to run. Unless that is part of the point - simulating real world user input ;)
Looks good but the scrolling on iPad feels really wrong. So much so that it actually bothered me and I had to stop. Actually a very weird sensation - like nails on a chalk board - it is the first time I have had such a 'physical' response to pictures under glass.
Like? Require all ticket purchases be done on a G+ account and before you get to the theatre. Mine the purchases for the most relevant ad from all the people who purchased tickets (80% of the G+ accounts like..., 50% like..., etc). Show the ads in stock that are most relevant and also re-sell the ticket stats back to the advertisers. Offer a discount on your next ticket purchase if you blog/comment/review the movie (and feed that back into your G+ data-mine profile).
Feedback to advertisers will increase relevant ad pool to make better matches from ticket purchases. Advertisers get more data to target their ads to a better audience. G+ profile gets more data for profiling. Win win win. ;)
I read through a number of the docs and can't quite find the answer to this question, hopefully someone here can help me out quick.
I already have a bunch of (large-ish, deeply nested) JSON objects defined for my application. I don't really want to go about redefining these since they work great between my various node processes and the front end. I am saving them in a nosql database already, I am curious about switching (to save on devops costs). I only request based on 1 Hash Key (int) and 1 Range Key (int) for all my current get operations.
Looking through the docs/examples I see a lot of this type of thing:
The JSON item has a kinda-of 'type syntax' on it. I really don't want to redefine my deep objects, but would be willing to redefine the Hash key and Range key, while leaving the rest of the nested types alone.
Ok, my question:
Do my JSON objects need to conform to this 'type syntax' JSON notation in the examples? Or can I save just any JSON object into this database and only annotate the Hash Key and Range Key using this special notation?
Their usage of JSON is just incidental to your usage of JSON. They use JSON as a REST transfer format. You can pretty much ignore their JSON if you use one of the high level libraries in the SDK.
You can define a table with 3 fields: yourKey, yourRange, and yourJson. Put your entire JSON data as string in the yourJson field.
You will have to create an attribute for your json, where you'll store the json utf-8 encoded. If you want to index on parts of that json blob you'll have to pull them out into their own separate attributes and the recombine them into a single json object on read.
I love how easy pathogen (https://github.com/tpope/vim-pathogen) makes installing vim plugins from github. I always struggled with it in the past (and mostly avoided it) but now it is as simple as git clone and done.
Vundle is even better than Pathogen IMO. It takes away the need to manage git submodules, in favor of just creating a text file that defines your plugins, Bundler style. Removing plugins from your setup is MUCH cleaner.
Also, Vundle has a nice interface to manage installation/removal of new plugins (BundleSearch, BundleInstall, BundleClean, etc.). Pathogen is more of a 'do it yourself' approach, while Vundle tries to be a complete suite a la Aptitude.
And to be fair to tpope, Vundle is something that clearly came along later, looking to refine the experience that Pathogen established.
Vundle is a minor but very welcome improvement on Pathogen, while Pathogen was a monsterous improvement on the painful Vim plugin management of before.
I too am a big fan of tpope Vim plugins, and Vundle is the first plugin that I've ever used to replace one of his with. So now I don't have Pathogen but I have a Vundle file that says "tpope" all over it. :)
It seems like the current Vundle version does not play well with .vimrc under version control. That’s why I like Pathogen more, since I can simply insert the bundles as Git submodules into .vim/bundle. (Submodule support for Vundle is already on the way, there are some pull requests on GitHub.)
Our one year old is doing CIMT (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constraint-induced_movement_the...). She had 3 heart surgeries when she was born, after she recovered we saw her having difficulty using her right hand (doctors say stroke). Over 4-6 months we saw this difficulty increasingly lead to non-use of her right hand. Yesterday we started constraint-therapy with her and we are hoping she can recover use of her arm and hand. Our physiotherapist was surprised that we came to her asking about CIMT, she said that in most of her cases she has to really persuade the parents to do it - and in some they refuse. She also said that her personal results with it have been very positive with most cases making a full recovery.
