Pages are definitely a development tool. Most of the time, (when some lazy dev isn't using it as their blog!) they contain useful documentation and instructions for other developers .

Bootstrap can be distributed as source. Just download at the last stable tag.

Then why not in a separate repo specifically made for hosting your compiled software? Or only include a build for stable releases? It's a hack, sure, but it's necessary if those small projects don't want to put up an official site or host o

I'm not really sure what damage you're talking about, aside from posts from random people online badmouthing Maps. iPhone and iPad sales are still strong. Maps have gotten significantly better in just a few months (although I never saw a pr

No one should see the Daily Mail for anything.

The only way for Maps to get better is for people to report errors. If they release it alongside Google's version and no one uses it, no one will report errors, so it would never get better, and so on. Just two years ago I had Google Maps s

I don't have the original study I read (back in a cognitive development class in college), but I believe this one[0] should suffice. The original was a study that monitored groups of kids playing with toys and found the kids didn't develop

But there's nothing genetic that determines girls like pink more. It's all social. Your daughter probably saw all the toys and clothes directed at her being pink, all the positive attention she got when she wore that "cute" dress that happe

That's not exactly true. Kids will play with whatever they want until they feel pressure to conform from either parents (if a girl asks for a toy, she's handed a Barbie) or society (marketing only showing girls playing with dolls, kitchen s

The point of a class-action suit isn't for the victims to recoup damages. It's to force the corporation (in this case, eBay) to change some sort of behavior that a suit from a single person wouldn't have been able to accomplish.

If they were able to get into Google, something tells me they would have been able to break into AWS. Whether they would waste an AWS 0-day on some random stubborn American is another story.

I'm sure the amount of resources the Chinese government needs to put behind a successful attack on a small US business is minuscule.

If you have a dynamic IP, Dyn offers DNS services[0] that let you tie a domain to it through them. I believe it requires you to install something on your machine that monitors your IP and reports it back. Otherwise, you just use your IP and

I don't think the Apple PR dept cringes. I doubt they even care, because their customers don't care. No die-hard Apple fan will hear what Woz has to say and switch camps, and your average Apple customer— the non-tech-types— will say, "Who t

Fantastic post. It's infuriating to read all the comments by programmers, both on github and reddit, who seem to think there was a tumblr-esque witch hunt by the evil PC brigade against the poor BritRuby organizers, when that just wasn't th

Github comments are getting closer to YouTube in terms of quality— especially when an issue or gist is linked on reddit. You'll see a flood of image macros and memespeak derailing any meaningful conversation. It doesn't surprise me to read

The problem is many of them take it as a personal attack, as evident by the comments here, and they can't even see how that is the problem. I'm really proud of some of the comments like yours, danilocampos', and msbarnett's. It's just a sha
