Two things. One is a possibility, and one is a dream. 1. The Finder is going to change. What is becomes I don't know, but I think the filesystem will be further downplayed as Apple tries to take its vision of user friendliness even further.

Is this really the case? I think you can setup a new linode (at a new data center) and then clone your current one. Is there really a way to shut it down and move it? Just logged into my account to check and couldn't find the option.

This is key. If they didn't strike out against this kind of cheating then people wouldn't take any of the achievements seriously and the replay value of the game would be diminished.

I need to second your recommendation of The Humane Interface. I reread it often.

Please don't concede things like that. I wouldn't have asked if I wasn't seriously interested in your reasoning.

There are several comments about people putting them in MBPs, but I guess I'll ask you... since OS X doesn't support TRIM have you seen any degradation in performance? I've been on the fence for a while due to the cost and OS X being behind

Let's add that regardless of what anyone says about how "great" programmers are n times more productive than mediocre programmers that productivity is not the number one driving force behind these job descriptions. Business people want ba

When all else fails, make it about money. I actually have a friend whose design shop has been doing this for a while. It really drives the point home. The issues with getting large corporations to finally upgrade are moot. The consumer/home

Do you seriously consider hasLayout or filter to be innovations? hasLayout is at the very best a hack, and at the worst a terrible, opaque feature to let the developer peek into the Trident rendering engine to deal with bugs. 'filter:' is p

"Do we really need a site for each individual content management system?" It's interesting that CMS specific sites were even proposed. In my experience (mostly with the Drupal community) CMS advocates tend to be pretty tribal and desire a n

Yes, I was aware those programs when I made the post ("there have been half-baked efforts, but nothing terribly inspiring"). They're limited in that they don't have the same abilities as professionally produced games. What I'd like to see i

Two things really stand out for me. 1. Please, please, PLEASE take the App Store model that Apple has used and apply it to Xbox Live. There is already a process by which developers have to get their wares certified to run on the Xbox so the

They didn't put a team on it cold. People from 3D Realms kept working on it even after the studio went under. Gearbox has some of these same ex-3D Reams people on staff now. http://kotaku.com/5630192/how-duke-nukem-forever-was-brought...

Kudos. This is great. The only thing I'd like to see is a row of, say 5, related videos just in case the first isn't exactly what I want.

It's difficult to say. I've worked at two companies that have used EC2 for various purposes. One had an instance that was used for dev work get "corrupted" on three separate occasions (I couldn't get the specifics, but there were definitely

Making marijuana available for medical purposes is basically decriminalization. I drew the distinction as I've encountered people who think that states are legalizing it which is an entirely different thing. Practically speaking decriminali

Yes, and a point that isn't mentioned in the article is that the price of weed might be dropping at roughly the same rate the American dollar is being inflated. So what we could be looking at is a coincidental equilibrium. As more US states

Have you seen a keynote given by Jobs since he returned to the company? You can't watch one without hearing about their philosophy and values. Sometimes it's mere lip service, but it's always there.

This was my first concern followed by, "wait, Chrome silently auto-updates..." As far as I know it silently auto-updates across major versions as well as minor. The automatic updating of Flash 10.x that got linked on HN a little while ago i

That was fast. I remember watching the announcement (in person) and wondering who it was really meant for. At the time it felt like a solution in search of a problem. What I did really like was the work they'd done on change-set propagati

The link title is a bit hyperbolic. Looking into a bible belt classroom is as easy as interviewing (or simply just talking to) current and former students and faculty. Having grown up in the bible belt I can attest to how backwards the appr

Was I supposed to bemoan the fact that they've improved it? I'm sure if you grepped the web you'd find that people have been praising the improvement of products they like since... since at least the early 1990's. The Retina display is nice
