I hope people start using the word faddle, fiddle-faddle, fadaise or fatuus again instead of just "fad" :)

I configured an interpreter and things started working in IDEA (I don't have PyCharm). However, my assessment remains the same because now that autocomplete is finally working, it's still not as good as VS in my opinion. 1) VS shows documen

IDEA's Python support seems very poor compared to VS. I installed the IDEA Python plugin and when I typed "import " it said "no suggestions". Same thing when I typed "sys." and when I created a new Python project, it couldn't find any inter

This reminds me of Bill Gates 2003 complaints about trying to get Microsoft Movie Maker installed. http://boingboing.net/2008/06/25/bill-gates-2003-flam.html

From the same guy that said "Good artists copy, great artists steal." If Microsoft has no taste, Apple certainly has rotten taste in my opinion.

It's a ridiculous idea IMO because when I want to copy 2 docs, a jpeg and an html file from one device to another, I'd have to open three separate programs in order to carry out the task. With a dedicated file manager, you open the one prog

In the Widgets section of the complete YUI Examples page [1], the only component that seems to support the keyboard at all is the Dial widget. The Calendar, DataTable, MenuNav, Slider and TabView don't seem to have the default keyboard-abil

Why is it that all HTML based widget sets have crummy keyboard support compared to their native desktop counterparts?

The vast majority of web users are Windows users. How has Microsoft lost?

Apple is suing smartphone and tablet manufacturers as well. Why didn't you mention them? Microsoft and Apple didn't invent the patent system. Why blame them for using it? Google is obviously planning on using patents to fight it's competito

Oh, I see. They have 1 mockup for Windows and the rest are for OS X. Brilliant.

Where's the mockup for Windows? There are way more people running Firefox on Windows than OS X.

The wart is that since classical inheritance isn't built into the language, we get: 1) Crummy syntax. 2) Everybody doing it a different way.

Do you really think that desktop computers will become completely irrelevant? Are you talking about all sectors (devs, businesses + consumers) or just consumers?

He's saying that from Windows, developing code that will eventually run on *nix, is tougher. Of course the opposite is true as well.

Dropbox has an API to allow external programs to use the service. There are no differences or very minor differences between iCloud and Dropbox functionality-wise. The fact that Apple is behind iCloud and they're now going to integrate all

I think he's talking about the maintainability of such an app in the hands of your average joe programmer, not the sophistication of the language. Also, static typing does have it's advantages, particularly in that it's easier to write tool

Wijmo/Telerik and others bring the web platform _slightly_ closer to the level of quality and ease of use that can be had in a desktop platform, but let's be honest...browsers really don't know the difference between a bunch of text and a b

A number of things can't be done in HTML that can be done in WPF. Since WPF has a sane architecture, you have access to a huge set of high quality UI components (grids, editors, etc) that can simply be dropped into your applications. 15 yea
