Fair point. The spacing and margins are totally wrong, for sure. But that's just spacing & margins, and I assume that's easily adjusted (and they should do that, so their demo doesn't look ugly). But nonetheless, the widg

That sentence you quote is immediately underneath the heading "Problems using virtualenv under Ubuntu" — it applies only to Ubuntu, where they do use GTK. But on Mac, they use Cocoa, as stated in several places in the docs.

by ColinCera 12y ago
It's using native Cocoa controls, so I'm not sure why you don't think it looks native.

by ColinCera 12y ago
It does not use GTK+ on a Mac, it uses Cocoa, so it is fully native. Read the docs.

Do you have any evidence that they do in fact switch cameras every time something like that shows up? Because I seriously doubt that's true. I downloaded the whole 2+ hours long HD video because I couldn't see the UFO you were

Some people are jerks. Some people are too frazzled to remember good manners. Some people were raised by wolves and aren't even familiar with the concept of manners. I don't expect people to say thank you when I answer a question.

Quick search on Indeed shows 56,332 jobs mentioning JavaScript, 4,378 jobs mentioning Angular. So <8%. Plus, the vast majority of those 4,378 jobs are merely including Angular in a list of various frameworks, as examples of technologie

It's a strange language and strange framework. Not in a good way, where after you've been using it awhile you start to appreciate it, but in a bad way, where the more you use it the more annoyed you get. A few examples, working fr

I worked with LiveCode a few years ago (it was called Revolution back then), adding features to an existing warehouse management system, and found it to be kind of a pain in the ass. It wasn't terrible , but using it was not an experi

What about the word "insane"? Is it okay to use that? Also, what's the rule on using "paranoid" in a non-clinical context? Can I use "schizophrenic" and "narcissistic" and "borderline"

This is not fair use. No court has ever held that it's fair use to reproduce copyright images because you think they look cool, you think they're funny, you think they illustrate some point you're trying to make, etc. And usi

Yeah, except he himself described the first app as "simple" and the next 9 apps after the first consisted of nothing more than changing the YouTube channel id the app pointed to and changing the app's name. $50,000 seems pret

I'm wondering if it would be useful to plug groupcache into this. It's what Google uses for serving downloads (e.g., Chrome downloads). Inherently distributed and self-balancing. I might give that a try.

I went to grad school in philosophy, but quit ABD. I regret neither going nor quitting. Someday I'd like to write a book or two in the "popularizing philosophy" genre.

Actually, I didn't notice that support was required. I was basing my cost comparisons on Rackspaces's "Raw Infrastructure" pricing — the fact you are required to purchase support at additional cost makes their pricing ev

As near as I can figure, the OnMetal servers are 3x-5x what I'd pay for dedicated servers from, say, a Hurricane reseller, and the virtual servers are more than 2x as much as comparable Linode servers, with the Linode servers offering

Very nice. However, the symbol for hurricane is wrong. There is actually a standard symbol for hurricane and it has a solid center. The symbol you're using for hurricane, with an open center, is actually the symbol for a tropical sto

Yes, but they don't allow an unlimited number of patrons to read the book at the same time. You have to get in line. At my library, the wait time for popular ebooks can be more than a month. And once you do get to check out an ebook, y

I think Amazon's pricing example is based on a fairly unrealistic use case where you only sync at the end of a session. With real world applications, most of them sync multiple times during a session, e.g., every 5 minutes, every 30 mi
