lol one of our :spergin: senior devs just up and left (literally picked up his keyboard and walked out) because he wants to move to Germany and HR wouldn't let him work from, uh, home

when they disabled his user account on the build server it broke everything for 3 days because it was his fiefdom and everything just ran out of his home directory

so they turned it back on with a different password and went through his .bashrc to figure out how his scripts work because it was never written down anywhere

dunno but it integrates with healthkit which is p nice. touchid is still "new" in the grand scheme of things release cycles are longer in the enterprise world. they just added push notifications to the android app last release after i opened the project for it 3 years ago.

also almost everything it does is customer configurable so we might very well have it and your provider disables it, i'm not super wired into the authentication side of things. if the stylesheet or theme looks real lovely or there's this weird-looking lovely app embedded inside the main app, chances are your provider decided to do something in-house.something like 40% of the negative reviews on the app store are about customer-developed add-ins or customers disabling features weve had for years, lol.

every time u mychart ur browser or phone is talking to a genuine mumps server at your doctor's data center :v:

yeah the iphone app doesn't give us notifications but i assume that's because our ~health network~ hasn't implemented it or whatever. it's very cool to be able to add appointments directly to my calendar, even if i have to manually add the address, which i assume is also our ~health network~'s fault for setting the location to "8th floor" instead of, you know, the place i need to drive to

because it's nice to have all the rules defining an element's style in a specific place instead of sprinkling them throughout your HTML.

i've been looking into building an android wrapper for a web game i've built and i'd just like to formally apologize to xcode for everything bad i've ever said about it

setting up xcode's certificate system and getting things integrated with the apple developer stuff was a bit dicey but NOTHING compared to the loving nightmare that is this IDE, holy poo poo

my favorite part is that it can't handle scrolling text on osx

that holds as much weight as all the tags over which i typed "DEPRECATED" in the comments. some fucker is still gonna call them 20 years from now and i can never delete them for that reason.

there aren't really any arcane requirements for documenting it

you don't HAVE to javadoc every method, argument, return value, and exception.

I don't recall ever having a problem w/ Javadoc. eclipse autogens the basic structure for you and then you complete it.

learn you a version control system

this poo poo is never taught in college but it's something you really can't learn too early in programming life

i recommend learning mercurial because it's basically the same thing as git (which is what everybody uses) but unlike git its command line tools actually make sense

any time you spend more than a few hours or two writing a code you should put it in a repo

first semester of freshman year, we took an "intro to programming for engineers" course, which was half matlab and half c. you have never seen something as awful as watching someone who has never tried to program before learn off of matlab and c, and needless to say the only people who got reasonable grades in that class were people who already knew how to program

maven would be rad as hell for intro to programming classes cause you could have the students start from an archetype for each assignment and then have them fill in the rest. you can provide them with tests too so they can immediately know if their code works.
