Not being American and not being interested in baseball, I never knew that Yogi Berra was a famous baseball player. All I knew was a quote of his that I liked. I thought he really was a yogi. It is this quote:

"You got to be careful if you don’t know where you’re going, because you might not get there."

Yogi Bear gets his name translated. In Portuguese he's Zé Colmeia (Joe Beehive).


Born, raised in America. Hardly know/seen the Yogi Bear.


It's sold through the Mac App Store only right now, so it's limited to what the Mac App Store allows, unfortunately.

Maybe in the future, if it goes well, the developer might consider selling outside the Mac App Store, and this have more flexibility. I have no knowledge of his plans on that matte,r though.


Been a while since I looked at App Store policies, but couldn't they charge a discounted price outside the store and then give a promo code to the app?


I believe that it's not intended to be used like that (promo codes are also limited to 100 per application version now).

Also, this would require the developer to find a way to charge people outside of the store. In that case, it's almost half way to setting up a full direct store with a direct version.

There is benefit to having a direct version (all our applications do) but many developers today don't want to set this all up. It's quite a lot of work and perhaps the developer is not interesting in spending time on that. Moreover, he might not even be sure if the app is successful enough to invest time into this work.


True, that makes plenty of sense. There would definitely wind up being more overhead in that case.

Regardless, I hope things go well for the developers.


From what I see, it's actually selling for USD$19.99. The $24.99 is in Australian Dollars.


Is there a Mac OS X support planned? Or perhaps the iOS version works as is?


The framework in our release zip only works for iOS but if you build from source[0] it will actually generate an OSX framework as well!

The RealmBrowser (which can be found under /tools/ at the above source link) is already using Realm internally to show/edit any Realm file dynamically.


For what it's worth, LinkedIn has different wording on this page for people who have an account and those who don't. For people who have an account already, the button says "Connect". For those who don't it says "Add to Network". I agree that even "Add to Network" may mean to "my network", which is misleading.


I'm amazed nobody else has mentioned this. Everyone's talking about how this is such a dark pattern, but the interface clearly shows the distinction between the two interactions.


Sofa still rules! And now in open-source. Cheers, Koen.


What's Sofa?


If you can't boot into Safe mode (I couldn't on a rMBP with 10.8.3), you can perform the following sequence to make it boot to Safe mode (source https://discussions.apple.com/message/21366643#21366643):

  cd /sbin
  sudo mv fsck_hfs fsck_hfs_orig
  sudo cp -p /usr/bin/true fsck_hfs
  nvram boot-args="-x -v"
  
  reboot, log in
  
  sudo nvram boot-args=""
   
  reboot
   
  cd /sbin
  sudo mv fsck_hfs_orig fsck_hfs


Why are you moving fsck_hfs around? I do notice if i'm booting into safe mode that fsck_hfs is taking FOREVER. (running 12 hours so far on my retina mbp 15, which is ludicrous)

But just switching to single user (aka boot-args="-s -v") and manually running fsck_hfs -c 4096m -f -d /dev/disk1 (or equivalent) I managed to clean up / of a few problems in under 4 minutes. fsck_hfs looks like it could use some fixing to dynamically cache things better, that or they could give it default arguments based on the systems memory size to speed things along.

Either way I'm done with trying to fix this, just going to reinstall 10.8.3 from scratch and rsync over my home directory and reinstall vmware. I've tried about every fix for the sandbox nonsense, and since this system had 10.7 originally maybe it upgraded badly, whatever.


With regards to Digital Ocean. My server there which I installed about a month ago (Amsterdam location), with 2GB of RAM is not responding for several hours now. Including not possible to reboot. Support says they're aware of the issue. But it's been several hours like this now. Never had with with Linode in my 3 years with them. Guess I'll be moving this server back.


Gray - send me an email -> mitch [at] digitalocean

I will take care of it for you.


Digital Ocean have been great so far, support and problem solving experience are amazing. Hopefully your problem will get fixed quickly.


Shouldn't the title be "Google Glass to Hit Developers' Heads This Month"?


It's certainly a great alternative for Apple's maps, which lack data in many parts of the world. It also appears to be vector maps, like Apple's, unlike Maps in iOS 5.

Some things that lack or incomplete in the meantime:

- iPad version, which is less critical, of course. - Access to contact addresses - Street view doesn't load high-resolution images when zoomed in.

The performance on iPhone 4S is good enough but zooming in and out is sometimes too fast and hard to do with precision.

Still, I already replaced Apple's Maps with this one of my iPhone's home screen.
