Russ is one of the best technical writers I've read. I've only gotten through half of this book, but I've read his design patterns book cover to cover and it is fantastic. He recently did an appearance on Ruby Rogues for their book club ep

The question is, are these people actually learning what they are doing, or are they just creating muscle memory on certain tasks... kind of like a 2 year old seeing patterns in a word and being able to identify it despite have no idea how

I think you need to take into context the difference in 20 years here. Back then there was no concept of digital photography or gps or bluetooth, etc. As technology evolves, then many of those improvements naturally contribute to enhanceme

I'm surprised that it took this long for that video to show up as evidence. The only thing it does not demonstrate is the use of gestures which is integral to the usefulness of this generation's tablets. I've always felt that the basic for

If HTC wants to integrate these services into the core experience of their devices, then they are going to have to manipulate the android source in a substantial way that will contribute to the fragmentation issue. I think these manufactur

I've been trying duckduckgo for a month now and I'm definitely not getting as good results for my "esoteric programming errors" as I hoped I would. I'm also shocked at how much I used google image search, losing that has been a shock. Now

I purchased the iPad2 despite being disappointed with the screen, but I knew I would use the device to death. I basically went into the purchase knowing I would be selling it in less than a year since apple products hold their value so wel

Most of us moving up from the iPad2 already sold our iPads.

I guess I look at the iPad/iphone/ipod touches more like consoles than computers, where I look at android more as computers. When you have a console, you want that eco system and hardware to last longer than it takes to develop the next gnu

It's pretty amazing that Apple is bucking the trend by releasing the iPad and iPhone once a year despite the rest of the industry releasing new models every month or two. There's nothing more frustrating than shopping for an android product

"MBP is nearly unusable due to insane noise and heat when utilized with more than just web browsing" I think you may have a defective unit. I have a quad core mbpro 15" and it's the quietest, coolest running laptop I've ever used. I gener

Reading that Rails is an "older project" kind of took me by surprise. I guess in internet years, it's about middle age now. My personal feeling is that Rails still does way more right than it does wrong. I find that I'm gravitating to the

Seems like Apple is moving away from the home button. Not sure how I feel about it, but at least it'll let my 3 year old focus a little better on the app I want him to play rather than him constantly hitting the home button and going to Sh

If I had the ability to downvote your post I would have. Your comment "I have not bothered to learn, nor do I plan anytime soon" goes against everything I believe in as a web developer. Sure, I may not be proficient in everything, but I tr

I guess my point with the Beam is, why isn't the projection a peripheral? Seriously, how often are you going to need to use a projection feature from your phone? Something like this ( http://www.flash-memory-store.com/hand-held-iphone4-4s-

Talk about brand dilution. I have no idea what the "Galaxy" brand stands for anymore. Why do they have to create a product for every possible demographic? Is the "Galaxy Beam" really needed? Do we really need another Galaxy Note form fac

@stuntmouse, I wrote that comment after the down votes, but edited it with the current text (thus the "edit" in the comment). I probably should have kept the original, but it was not why I got the down votes. That comment was actually up

I'm guessing that MS is using the cookie for a purpose that it was not intended for. That's not to say it's inappropriate, but it's up to them to understand the risks and make sure the app works in both states.

This is the "Learn X the Hard Way" book I've really been waiting for. Thanks, Zed, for the time and effort on this one. It's a topic that schools seem to completely ignore for some reason, but a skill I find I use on nearly a daily basis.

I was unaware of those optional cookie settings. When I read that second paragraph I almost left the article to make the privacy change before I realized that I was already using Safari. I can almost guarantee that, if asked, most users wou

IMO, this is a huge problem for the future of electric cars. If you own one, you will always have to worry about this when going away for extended periods. When I had my honda insight, just leaving it un-driven for 2 weeks would seriously

I give people a little more credit than this article does... I don't think people felt that MS Office is the only way to get work done, rather it's the only way they want to know how to get work done. For most people, it's a huge personal i

Does anyone know if RubyMine licenses can be transferred? I have a RM license that I won at railsconf that I have used sparingly. It was issued on 5/25/11 so I'm not sure if it qualifies for this upgrade. I'd rather give it away than it n

Probably just one dev to maintain the platform, but it's more than that. You then have the business stakeholders, you have the QA resources, you have the designers, etc. When you add the whole thing up, it could be a resource drain. It's
