This is really weird. When there is a submission about some guy's project, do we evaluate his potential as a mate? Does that become the top comment? What in the world is going on here?

"Binary compatibility" is routinely applied to libraries as well. The point of contention is not the meaning of "binary compatibility", but that of "iPhone OS 5.0". SomeCallMeTim's assumption that this would include the upper layers of the

I already knew this from reading Hacker News.

For a moment, I thought there was actually something new about sorting. That turned out not to be the case, of course. I understand the importance of linkbait titles, but specifying the context (e.g. "we're doing it wrong in JavaScript") wo

It's a Ruby-ism.

Well, it depends on where you're from. Your link shows that US water standards are lax compared to European standards. But more than water, I'd be concerned about the amount of hormones and antibiotics in meat.

What if it were called "try/finally" instead?

This may be a naive question, but why is it not enough to set your mail client to save a copy of all messages?

That phrase was not meant to be condescending. What I mean is that, while I can see why you'd want to share apps with your children, your adult spouse is their own person and can buy their own stuff. The article claims a 10-device limit may

I'm a single human being, and unfortunately I need multiple Apple IDs because you can't use the same ID with multiple countries' stores. :(

Actually, only two of those tens of services have anything to do with DRM: apps and iTunes. For apps: if you stick to free apps, like most Android users do, the point is moot. If your family has more than ten devices, buying a second copy o

It's actually a pretty nice example of the problems with overcommenting. For example, redundancy: "atexit(cleanup_children)" is perfectly self-explanatory, yet he repeats the same thing with the circumlocution "We setup our cleanup function

Afaik, Apple at least has not asserted patents covered by FRAND terms.

I don't know why people are so eager to shoot this down. I think it's perfectly feasible. So what if two-letter TLDs are reserved for countries? JavaScript has already made the jump from the browser to the server (and, soon, to the kernel):

Nobody has mentioned this yet, but if HN doesn't, who will? So, here goes: the graph makes no sense! Overlying the reading time and attention span graphs only makes sense if they use the same scales, but then why would attention span decrea

That would be a waste of lifting capacity! No, I'm told the astronauts aboard ISS were running out of Soylent Green... (warning: please don't read the above if you don't have a sense of humor)

Unfortunately, Counter is not available before 2.7, so for many people it's a bit too early to require it.

I find it hilarious that you are embracing cloud computing as your personal savior because you want MORE control. It's almost oxymoronic!

I could comment on how this reads more like a paean than as news reporting, but no. I can't get over the fact that Facebook has a patent on selecting a region of an image and associating information with it. I think I'll just go home now.

Ah, the involuntary irony of saying "beautiful" is overused while calling these designs "awesome". The word you're looking for is "good". You're not awestruck by these designs, you just think they're good.

That sentence is perfectly clear to me, and English is not my first language. I don't even perceive the style as pretentious or "wordy": it seems the appropriate register for a magazine like the Economist.
