A Lovely 10Centuries Blog

@matigo Early iOS apps (pre-multitasking, so iOS 2 and 3) got murdered regularly like that, too. They serialized state to disk (so local storage works) and would use that to pick up where they left off. Apple later formalized this in their state restoration system, but it's often overlooked by devs now that apps are more rarely fully terminated by the system.

If view state derives from model state, and you have a model you can pickle, you should be able to come back to life. Maybe. (It's also a good ways towards Elm-style apps.)

@indigo What book are you reading alongside the painting?

@c Yeah. As a webclip on my home screen so it's sort of app-like.

Argh. Why does Cappuccino do a full refresh each time I come back? It makes drafting posts with quotes and a hyperlink to source impossible without using a text editor in the middle to prevent losing the draft. :( And even then, you have to go dig up the post you were trying to reply to again. :\

Cultures will clash. Yours will lose. You must learn the tribal and hierarchal games of the new org if you want to succeed. They don’t make sense to you, and you didn’t choose into them, but you must learn them anyway if you want to succeed. (How to Survive an Acquisition [charity.wtf])

@tomas Often the acquiring company tries their damndest to keep them on. (At least with these "let's acquihire the small startup" scenarios - mergers of truly large, established companies do often see a "merge and then fire half the staff" pattern.) They do things like paying in stock with a vesting schedule to encourage you to stick around. The culture shift is often too much though, and people happy at a small start-up are very much not as one tiny bit of a large conglomerate.

@matigo They figure it'll end eventually, but if it ends now, it ends with them holding wheelbarrows of cash. Or at least with them knowing they'll definitely be getting a paycheck. I can understand the motivation.

@JeremyCherfas Plus, Firefox is trialing a "No More 404s" feature where it automatically does a Wayback Machine lookup on hitting a dead link. So clientside might have that solved for you soon.

@jextxadore This place is hopping! Was the reverse for a long time. Tides have turned.
