Awesome. I've been searching high and low for something to fill the uncov-shaped hole in my heart.

With Netflix moving to HTML5, and Youtube already supporting HTML5, there's fewer reasons to even bother with Flash or Silverlight plugins.

Time spent wrangling syntax goes down with time, dependent on language. With experience, coding does start to feel more like painting a picture. You spend less time worrying about getting the brush strokes just so, but you still have to app

> I agree, and I was astounded when I found out they had never done an end to end study of how people use Visual Studio while I was at MSFT. As someone who uses Visual Studio everyday, I am not surprised by this at all. Don't get me wro

If they put a paywall on their IP, then they'd be bound to have a reasonable support structure in place. No one in their right mind would want to support the Twitter or Facebook API's...

I could be wrong, but I don't think it's that black and white. I think the intention is to advocate thinking about user intent. If the user really does want/need a flexible API method, then I think that makes sense to actually provide that.

Looks like they stand firmly behind their DMCA takedown. EFF should slap them with a trout, as far as I'm concerned.

In fact, I think a case could be made that vanilla JS would encourage bad code.

Unfortunately, the article you cite is similar to OP's article. In this paper we intentionally and explicitly skirt the question of a “threat model.” Instead, we focus primarily on what an attacker could do to a car if she was abl

Jedi Knight 2 and 3? No. The two games are: Dark Forces 3: Jedi Knight 2: Jedi Outcast Dark Forces 4: Jedi Knight 3: Jedi Outcast 2: Jedi Academy Get it right, people.

Because of statements like: > people who sleep between 6.5 hr. and 7.5 hr. a night, live the longest, are happier and most productive O RLY? Time for another basic primer on causation vs. correlation.

Wait a minute. Now that a court has decided mathematical algorithms can't be patented, can't we have the MP3 patent thrown out?

The same thing happened with Yahoo and delicious. People love that stuff, but Yahoo never bothered to develop it. In this space, growth comes through developing public API's. Google is notoriously bad at developing service API's. Don't misi

Trust is a big ingredient here. You have to foster an environment of trust. Do your reports trust that if a problem is brought up, that the focus is on solving the problem through better training or modifying process? Or are they fearful be

I like the part where he takes responsibility for EA's woes, as if there wasn't a more systemic issue or anything.

My initial reaction to this comment was: "But Google would NEVER drop IMAP support in gmail! That would be beyond ridiculous!" I probably would've said the same thing about CalDAV last week.

Quick! Someone patent using the three bars as a link to a dropdown menu. Then, you can DMCA takedown ALL THE UI KITS!

A flight of Eagles over the Ered Lithui would be pretty dang obvious to Sauron's forces. I imagine the Nazgul with their flying beasts could do some serious damage, and I would think that would put the ring at great risk of falling into the

One has to wonder if this is a statement of bitcoin's instability, or a symptom of instability in the USD.

Great. Now all we need to do is petition nVidia to kindly unfuck their drivers so we can get decent Optimus support (among other things).

This begs the question: Are the Rails devs reading that?

The batteries weigh about half a ton. It's not like swapping the AA's in your Wiimote.

Well, what did we expect would happen with this first-to-file nonsense?

IIRC, the first jailbreakme.com used a PDF exploit that Apple patched REALLY fast, for the very reason you cited.

Very cool, but there's still a lot that each group needs to do to be truly interoperable. You can see a rundown of the issues on webrtc.org: http://www.webrtc.org/interop Most of it can be worked around, but for a web developer, there's s

Until you realize that the LoC is basically deciding these things by executive fiat. Seriously, what has changed in the last few years that suddenly makes phone unlocking a threat to digital security when before it was just fine? Nothing ha
