Thank you, Mr Munroe, but I still can't wrap my feeble mind around it. It's still just too weird.

"They" didn't destroy it; it was destroyed by the Martian atmosphere. …At least, that's the official story. I recall there being a lot of conspiracy theory-like buzz at the time from people who also couldn't believe

But don't worry about the Kim family - they won't lose a kilo. Kim Jong-un is probably the only person in his nation who is seriously at risk of type 2 diabetes.

The problem is that there's a lot of software out there that expects you to install it this way - particularly by piping into sh or bash or the like. See also http://www.seancassidy.me/dont-pipe-to-your-shell.html and

I saw the screenshot and was hoping for crapware-free Firefox, but upon downloading it, the damned Hello icon was there in the toolbar. Presumably later versions will add Pocket too, once they start working off a later upstream Firefox vers

If you're going to use Jekyll or some other self-hosted-ish service (as opposed to Medium or Tumblr or so on), why not just deploy to your own webspace rather than GitHub Pages?

The "Conditions" as described on the "Samples" looks promising - looks like you can search for a pattern which is within X lines of another pattern. That's useful for finding lines used only in certain contexts. AFA

…And on ones that do. Looks very useful for weeding out actual quality from the muddle. Would love to see someone doing this kind of work with other types of cables, too.

Judging by the title, I figured we were in for a screed by an Obj-C holdout, but JavaScript? You want us to use JavaScript for iOS development? Did you forget the period in time where Steve Jobs was making that argument and even he go

How odd that you used three applications with widely despised UIs as your examples.

Again, you can use HipChat and get something closer to the best of both worlds; drag-and-drop file sharing with a standard (well… more standard-ish) OS X interface. It's great for you that look-and-feel isn't so important to you,

Fair enough. How's this: If the UI of a desktop application does not match the standard appearance and interface of the rest of the operating system, a bad UX is almost a certainty, in my experience.

Which is kind of a frustrating answer, because Slack's UX sucks. Its desktop app is just a wrapped web page; the fonts and colors match nobody's operating system; the fffffffffffffffffriendly scroll bar; all the cutesy messages an

I will not call you an ahole because you're at least conceding that you may be wrong about web development not being "meaty." Let's see if I can argue that there is indeed meat in web development. Let's look at yo

That's an interesting argument, but in the field of web development, "full stack" has a particular meaning, so you're kind of arguing that a widely-used and -understood term in this field should have a different definiti

Ah, I was unaware - I'm still a MacPorts hold-out myself. (It ain't broke, so I haven't fixed it.) Thanks for the correction.

As a full-stack-but-primarily-back-end web developer, I somewhat resent the OP's implication that web developers are lesser than other developers. Why are we distinct from "algorithm developers" and "application/db
