   ugh, another sensationalistic news story edit: Yeah. There's no way this affects 99% devices, because 99% people won't bother downloading apps from non-Play sources.

    How can a non-developer be a developer evangelist? I'd prefer to get my share of dev evangelism from someone who actually uses (and is one of the developers of) the tools & technologies s/he's promoting. (a great example of this is Pa

    Conspiracy theorists -- you guys are such a bunch! Languages that compile to JS are very common in 2013 web dev. For a large section of web developers, JS is little more than "the VM of the web."

    Then that someone doesn't get to publicly shame me for what is offensive to them, and doesn't have the right to ask me to stop. My joke. Not meant for you. Stop listening.

    The point of contention here seems to be whether what he said was offensive or not. A large majority of people I know (including women) would disagree. Inappropriate, maybe, but definitely not offensive. PyCon's policy states that sexist

    The official Github client is severely crippled and allows you to do little more than clone repos and make commits. This is a full-blown Git client.
