I just want to say thank you for being a considerate human being on the internet and for posting this. I think critical discussion is extremely important to all of our continued growth, but I also think far too often we forget that we'

I can't say why anyone downvoted you, but reading your comment I noticed a few things: 1. Your use of the term running. You make sweeping generalizations about 'running' and the people who run but you don't even define w

This has been a bug since the early 90s. With both heartbleed and this coming in the same year, is it time to stop thinking and teaching the concept that open source inherently makes bugs easier to find?

Learning Objective-C was never the limiting factor for me writing native OS X code. The hard part about it was always figuring out the APIs. It's one of those things where if you have someone to teach you it's great, but learning

I'm wondering what the point of this reply is. It comes off as accusatory and obvious, given the comment you're replying to. Is having struggled with addiction a point of pride for you? I ask this as someone who's struggled w

What's with the surge of Peter Thiel related soundbites lately? I have no idea where he gets the idea that technology stopped in 1970. A simple example: look at how much more efficient internal combustion engines are now than they were

A school district buying one of these is like a guy that makes $40,000 a year buying a Ferrari from the 1980s because it costs $10,000. Sure he can afford to purchase it, but as soon as he needs to replace the $4,000 clutch, he's going
