I took a stab at a Sentry client that covers this and other Sentry capabilities. Comments welcome: https://github.com/tlianza/...

Re: Google Home can now read events from shared G Suite calendars

I got the usual "I can't access your gsuite calendar yet but I'm learning new things every day" message.

Any success stories? What hidden learnings has it uncovered?

Rather than have two pages of almost identical text leaving it to the reader to spot the minor differences, it might be easier if this were one page that introduced all of the commonalities, and had a section that highlighted the differences.

Fitocracy has a similar mission and is based in NYC as well, right?

I think that's Gogo, a different company.

Re: Understanding Meteor Publications & Subscriptions

Tom Lianza — Mon, 26 Jan 2015 00:07:44 -0000

I have this same question. The examples both here and in the meteor docs are confusing to me because the client subscribes to the publication by name ('topPosts', or 'all') in your example, and then the examples for *using* that publication all say "Posts.find" as if there is one and only one publication about the model Posts.

It's really confusing to me... and the articles that attempt to alleviate the confusion around publish/subscribe don't seem to clarify it.

Where is this feature?

Re: Counterpoint: Seattle has given ride sharing companies ‘a huge gift’

Tom Lianza — Wed, 19 Mar 2014 11:42:43 -0000

There was a time when we shut down music sharing sites to address rampant copyright law violations. But, eventually Bittorrent was born, and there's no one left to shut down unless you go after each person.

If someone were to release an app tomorrow that's just an app - a bittorrent equivalent of ridesharing - that takes no money and offers no service other than an app - what then? What to do with 5,000 one-person-companies on the road, with one driver each? Why wouldn't we come up with legislation that actually makes sense for what is a very foreseeable future?

Uber and Lyft could be your iTunes, not your Napster.

Uninstall Snapchat - that's what's causing that process to go crazy.

Re: Sidecar, Uber, Lyft not happy with Seattle’s ‘anti-competitive’ proposed ride-sharing regulations

Tom Lianza — Thu, 12 Dec 2013 22:09:20 -0000

Even if you don't take a completely libertarian stance, it's at least worth acknowledging there are existing regulations - drivers licenses for all drivers, car inspections for all licensed vehicles - that are in place in the interest of keeping people safe.

If we want cars that carry passengers for fares to be "extra inspected" or have the drivers take "extra driving tests" beyond what they already do, I'd think we'd at minimum like to see some evidence that there's a problem with accidents and unsafe vehicles now, wouldn't we?

Re: AngularJS

Tom Lianza — Thu, 01 Aug 2013 19:23:50 -0000

This makes sense to me, however when I did it I found the 'style' method was called endlessly, even when the dom is not changing and the window's not resizing.

UPDATE: came to find out it was the bootstrap-angular 'collapse' plugin which was trying to apply a height to my object, while I was trying to apply a height via ng-style. The results were not pretty.

Only slightly frustrating that it's in the press before it's on their own app status dashboard.... http://www.google.com/appss...

Interesting - the 3 games in which he had more than 10 targets were the Patriots 3 losses.

Re: Configuring Project SDK

Tom Lianza — Thu, 04 Oct 2012 02:41:19 -0000

When I click the plus button on the project structure dialog, the only two options for SDKs I get are JSDK and Android - seems like there's not even a regular Java option. What am I missing?

Re: Deleting Modules

Tom Lianza — Sat, 28 Jul 2012 02:19:03 -0000

Here's the context menu I see when clicking a module. If someone sees "Delete" among the 25 options could you please point it out? And, if "delete" does not in fact exist in the context menu, this article should probably be updated so that it does not say "On the context menu, choose Delete."

Re: A Stroll Through the Craigslist-Crusher Startup Graveyard

Tom Lianza — Sun, 01 Jul 2012 16:53:30 -0000

As a buyer, it's okay (though, as is obvious from the fact that PadMapper ever existed, browsing listings on a map is a feature many people want and aren't getting).

As a seller, the posting process is quite tedious. Nothing to do with rounded corners, but the fact that in 2012 you can't create a post with a picture via your phone... it's at least frustrating.

That already exists, and has for some time. They promote cartalk.com every week on the show:

Which app? CraigsPhone was shut down, last time I looked at it.

If that's the case, would one advocate un-retiring old NPR shows if they can beat current ones in ratings?

Serious question: for those who argue it should remain on - for how long?

I think the comments about podcasts are particularly salient. These days, the content doesn't go away. The media can be made available cheaply, in perpetuity, for anyone who might want to hear funny banter about a 1982 Toyota Corolla in the year 2035.

Re: Cross-domain AJAX

Do you know if this can be made to work with jQuery deferred objects (
http://api.jquery.com/categ... ) ex. if I wanted to wait on 2 easyXDM-wrapped ajax calls to finish, can I get a deferred object returned from xhr.request in this example?
