FWIW: I (@rondy) am not the creator of the content shared here, which is an excerpt from Edmond Lau's book. I simply copied and pasted it from another location and saved it as a personal note, before it gained popularity on news.ycombinator.com. Unfortunately, I cannot recall the exact origin of the original source, nor was I able to find the author's name, so I am can't provide the appropriate credits.

HOWTO Lightroom sync with s3 windows/macos

1. The pitch

As I am an avid photographer & travelling quite a lot, I wanted to sync my Adobe Lightroom library from Macbook to my Microsoft Windows desktop at home with very little/no human intervention. It is also a good thing that both Lightroom versions (mac & windows) share a common file system/structure, this helped alot in synchronizing data from one environment to another.

This HOWTO assumes you already have an AWS account created and running with an IAM user configured.

Put together, the solution would look as such (pardon my poor diagram skills):

                                  _  
macbook pro                     (`  ).                     windows desktop

This post is also on my blog, since Gist doesn't support @ notifications.

Components are taking center stage in Ember 2.0. Here are some things you can do today to make the transition as smooth as possible:

Use Ember CLI
In general, replace views + controllers with components
Only use controllers at the top-level for receiving data from the route, and use Ember.Controller instead of Ember.ArrayController or Ember.ObjectController
Fetch data in your route, and set it as normal properties on your top-level controller. Export an Ember.Controller, otherwise a proxy will be generated. You can use Ember.RSVP.hash to simulate setting normal props on your controller.

Suppose we want to add support for a new iOS 8 API in our framework that replaces an older iOS 7 API. There are a few problems we might face:

The new API will crash if we call it on iOS 7
The new API won't compile if we build it using the iOS 7 SDK
The old API will raise a deprecation warning if built with a deployment target of iOS 8 and up

These three problems require three different technical solutions:

We can avoid calling the new API on an old OS version by using runtime detection (e.g. respondsToSelector:)
We can avoid compiling new APIs on old SDKs using the __IPHONE_OS_VERSION_MAX_ALLOWED macro
