Integrating Yahoo Mail with Dropbox Today we are rolling out the integration between Yahoo Mail and Dropbox, by the end of the day Yahoo Mail users will be able to link their accounts with Dropbox. We’ve implemented four major use cases: Seamless Single Sign On Save attachments directly to Dropbox (no Local Storage needed) Share files from your Dropbox account Attach files larger than 25MB. This was one of my last projects at Yahoo, we have been working with the Dropbox team for about 2 months and it was really great to build this feature with them. It puts Yahoo Mail inline with the market trend of cloud related integrations, Gmail has Google Drive and Hotmail Outlook.com has SkyDrive. We built this feature on top of the new Yahoo Mail modular JavaScript architecture that allows the team to do global pushes to production in less than 5 minutes (I will write a post about it soon). So if we find an issue, it is faster for us to fix the bug and push than to roll back. This is a pretty bold achievement specially if you consider that Yahoo Mail has more than 300 million users worldwide and that our application runs on thousands of servers in more than 20 Datacenters. This is a good step towards the vision to enable Continuous Deployment for Yahoo Mail. Check out the official blog posts on Dropbox Blog and on Yahoo Mail Blog.

Sublime Text Plugin: GitGutter

Git is amazing, there is the world before and after Git, at Yahoo we use Subversion and we also have GitHub Enterprise as an option for your Version Control System. 

I gotta say that it is great to be able to use an Internal GitHub, it makes a lot of things easier. If you use Sublime Text as your main Editor, there is a ton of Git Plugins available and one that I recently started to use is called gitGutter (there are versions for Vim and Emacs too). 

https://github.com/jisaacks/GitGutter

What this little plugin does is very simple and yet clever, when you are working in a File, it tracks your changes in realtime with little icons on the left column. This is an easy way to see what you are effectively changing on that file.

It is really worth the try.

PS: to see the nice color coding you will need to edit you Theme file to add the color pattern to it.

In theory there is no difference between theory and practice. But, in practice, there is.

An Objective-C Literal Subtlety

Some interesting issues when using the new syntax for Objective-C literals, specially the use of variables, like this: @(varname),  and Booleans YES/NO.

Philips just launched a new smart LED light bulb that can be controlled with an App for the iPhone or iPad. This thing is really amazing, can you imagine that now your light bulbs are connected to your WiFi Network? The personalization and remote control is getting more and more onto Home Automation.
