These are all defaults and you are forced to use them, right? Furthermore - does this really help the argument that "the whole ms stack sucks balls" or even "the whole java stack..."?

So, you should be able to show me dozens of tools that are the default choice within these ecosystems, that make programmers build things in this way. Can you please name some tools and tell us how they say this is the right way to do thing

Show us the best practice that resembles this FizzBuzz solution. Also, I'll be waiting to see some code that you think is great.

That's great, but we're here to make fun of "Enterprise" programming and anything associated with it. Now you come along and give us this simple example that works. I bet it would still be better in Javascript or Ruby because those are the

"in my head I went, this is why the whole ms enterprise stack sucks balls." Brilliant. So, if some random programmer built some way-over-complicated Javascript solution, would you think that the entire web platform "sucks balls"? "the sa

The existence of the JIDF and other similar organizations that have the explicitly stated goal of flooding Internet conversations with pro-Israel comments, would make the argument self evident.

It's a valid complaint. At the very least, you can say that many of the problems associated with using HTML for apps stem from the fact that it was originally designed for documents, not apps.

I'd say 1) The people who use the Internet the most...are too dependent upon the system. They haven't the time or energy for a proper protest.

TortoiseGit supports them both. Even if none of them did...anemic? Really? I didn't think I was assuming; it was fairly self evident to me, based on the amount of hyperbole being too damn high.

Do you have some evidence for your claim that graphical clients tend to cause problems when interacting with other people? Does one missing feature really make them anaemic? I understand the git system just fine, I've worked with many other

by WayneDB 14y ago
Sure, but they do like 99% of what everybody working with git does every day. So, do we still need to be "weaned" or can we just add some features to the GUI clients if and when necessary?
282.
by WayneDB 14y ago
You're comparing graphical git clients to toy hammers? Really? That's awfully interesting. Please, tell us more about that analogy.
283.
by WayneDB 14y ago
Why would people need to be "weaned" off of a graphical client towards a command line? Is it a specific client or all of them? Maybe I'm misunderstanding your sentiment - are you one of those people who thinks that all GUIs are for children

You should really try to see the issue from the point of view of someone who simply doesn't want to be locked into Apple's walled garden, or who doesn't like the way Apple does things. When I can get the same hardware without any software r

You can't say it's a myth when it's based on opinion. If people have the opinion that iProducts are overpriced, then they are because "overpriced" is completely subjective. Simple as that. There's no myth, but the fact that you're tired of

I can't stand the way that Google just gloms their brand onto every item of geek/popular culture.

I meant to say the internet is NOT the web...as in not HTTP.
288.
by WayneDB 14y ago
What a bunch of hogwash. Everything does not fit into the request/response model of HTTP and the Internet is certainly the web.

Am I the only person who doesn't think that science and religion are really at odds, except for in the minds of fools and the mouths of manipulators? Every major religion has the idea of "oneness" wherein the God/Godhead is portrayed as the

How has Jonathan Ive been open about his work?

Have you tried it? I've been using it for months and I find it to be simply fantastic. I love the new direction, all except for the store lock-in on the Metro side of things (thanks Apple!) What's the fiasco?

Just curious - How close is WebKit in terms of complexity, to the Linux Kernel?

Absolutely agree that the Pro is more of a full PC. I have not experienced it getting very hot yet and I did not know that it even had a fan inside of it until I read your post because I never heard it. I have not run any games on it yet th

At least Apple gives you an integrated option to disable the un-natural scrolling. I got a Surface Pro (which I love for the most part), but it took me two days to figure out that I had to install an app from the Windows app store in order

Right, but those grids are built up from hacks upon hacks. They are not supported by the platform, except for through indirection.

Many people who make millions or billions still pause at paying more than $1 for a cup of coffee. You don't become a billionaire by wasting your money.

It's so funny how people can have similar experience and opposite results. I don't doubt that you build them quickly, but there are a lot of variables to take into account I think. I actually deploy desktop apps to a lightly controlled HIPA

I guess I'm still wondering what specifically you disagree with. You didn't say anything about that; just the wording. I don't think the GP's argument was well stated, but the general sentiment seems clear enough. Anyway, I'm interested to

FTA: "Throughout this article I reference HTML5, but I’m actually talking about most of the suite of relevant standards..." I think a lot of people conversationally use the term HTML to mean the same thing.
