Please see my response to shaddi. Where you're making a mistake is taking my comments and applying them to her specific sequence of events. If you read what I wrote, you'll note that I was not doing this. I was responding to the comment tow

I'm not necessarily saying she did anything incorrectly. I made comments towards the general attitude she espoused at the end of the post. I quoted exactly what I was responding to. Anything else is stuff that I wasn't responding to. >&

I made it a point to entirely direct my comments towards those statements that I quoted, and not towards the specifics of her incident. I didn't want to get into the much more fuzzy and subjective discussion of to what degree her actual act

She has tweeted a link to a working copy of the article: http://blog.nerdchic.net/archives/418/ The tweet quotes the line: "It is not my job to avoid getting assaulted. It is everyone else's job to avoid assaulting me." I think that state

The lack of this is the primary reason I don't consider running Fedora over Ubuntu. Shallow, perhaps, but when you stare at a computer screen all day, good font rendering matters. There is a guy who maintains a set of Fedora packages with v

Gvim/MacVim for me. I was on the Eclipse wagon for a while. Where Gvim finally clicked with me was (1) when I discovered Pathogen for more easily installing plugins, (2) discovering NERDTree, and (3) when I finally got the idea to use somet

This isn't a "hey, go do this" post. This is a milestone in the development of Clang.

This book can not be recommended strongly enough. It was my "a-ha!" moment with JavaScript. Especially for people with programming experience in other languages, it's a gem. It's thin and easy to overlook, but every page is a, "so that's

I'll upgrade, but since I'm running 10.10 RC, it'll probably be a few minor package upgrades.

I think: "computer software engineers" = "application developers" "computer programmers" = "systems programmer" In other words, programmers are spending more of their (paid employment) time writing applications instead of low-level

I can't imagine there's anything that will fix MySpace. MySpace is proof that if you allow users to copy-paste in arbitrary CSS, they will use it to rebuild GeoCities.

Developers aren't server administrators (usually). It's not the best use of their time. I wish I had thought of this when we ran into issues with Windows people and Ruby. Too much of their time was spent fussing with stuff and crying about

I think your porridge is just right. Don't make me read a wall of text to get a simple answer to "is it down?", but clue me in on what's going on and, if possible, when I can expect service to resume. Dropbox isn't critical for us where I w

An important point. Also important: "critical" is not a synonym for "anti-".

Here's a hint, dear webmaster. If you find yourself saying things like, "I am shocked that no other website has thought of doing this", you're probably missing something.

While everything you said is correct, at the same time, there's no sense in losing access to data that's recorded and is sitting right there for the taking, if only there were a more convenient way to extract it. It would be very wise of Tw

That point is exactly the first thing I thought of when I read the article. How much of Tumblr's traffic is for "photo blogs" of naked girls? Based on what I've observed, probably a good amount. Not that that traffic is somehow invalid, but

There's no Reality Distortion Field in effect so the author of that blog is in unfamiliar territory.

I love fantasy football. I'm a real football fan first and foremost, but fantasy football is great fun. It does not take a lot of time to play fantasy football well, though. Some junkies truly overanalyze to death. Their desire to find an e

I was watching the documentary series Cold War, which is brilliant in that it is full of first-hand accounts in interviews with people that were at all the important meetings and events. Some of my favorite moments were the bits from Castro

There could be important data still on the device itself, I imagine the argument would be. Seems to me how it should work is that the device's user defines a PIN number for his device. Should the device be lost, the user could provide the I

Good eye. I was skimming for things like "duplicate functionality". Interesting that this just seems to restrict looking like the built-in apps.

I'm skimming the guidelines, and I don't see a restriction on one of the most well-known app rejections: duplicating functionality of built-in apps. I noticed that guideline 2.11 states, "Apps that duplicate apps already in the App Store ma

That's an important point. Android is a complete non-starter in the non-phone MP3 device market, and the Android tablets are just starting out and have little market penetration. When comparing all iOS devices to all Android devices, instea

The article says, "New APIs and markup like WebGL and 3D CSS transforms are a major motivation for this work". That's what makes it exciting. Hardware acceleration for rendering the front page of HN: not so exciting. Hardware acceleration f

I don't think the point is "FOSS fixes everything". I think the point in this case is, "go FOSS and you've got a shot. Stick with the status quo and your death is assured". I think the poster has a point. Maintaining a monopoly on the tools
