It's an interesting idea, but honestly, I find any boilerplate claim to ownership of content posted on a site or imposition of a license, well, frustrating. The magazine is fantastic and I completely support it, but I do think this should b

Before anyone gets riled up, be sure to see the resolution: a rep working on her day off to resolve the issue, a $100 credit and 2,500 frequent flier miles. Not the best experience, but this one worked out.

You just described several conflicting areas and examples of user confusion. If you stick with this name, tread very carefully.

Indiana University uses Sakai ( http://oncourse.iu.edu/ ). At the time I used it ('04-'08), it was...better than Blackboard, but still generally a pain. The design was poor, the UX was awkward - just a deeply unsexy experience overall. It

I've looked around for something like this quite a bit. The best I found were via eNom, InternetBS, and GoDaddy - but they were all pretty terrible and / or felt skeezy. If you find something good, let us know!

This is really cool to see. IPv6 is the internet's "peak oil" problem, or a "long emergency" - most seem to think of the transition as a "maybe someday" nice to have, without realizing how few blocks remain in the IPv4 address space. It's r

I'm having the same problem (server error, but on a Mac) - it's good to know we're not the only ones. My phone is registered using a custom domain, but I switched the account to a GMail address and ensured I was signed in using a standard G

Pardon me, but I'd like to disagree. The murder of Theo van Gogh and subsequent threats against other artists, authors, etc. are terrible acts. No one should be killed for such expression. But I have to say - I find any "juvenile attempt to

In terms of both raw talent and writing ability, Jason's blog is one of my favorites. You can depend on him for solid analysis, clear thinking, and good writing. This article is worth reading. While I only have a surface-level understandin

I'd love to sign up, but apparently students and employees of eight companies can register. Would the creator consider opening this up? Those of us who work for smaller companies and businesses would love to have the opportunity to connect

There is a great collection of Vim screencasts at: http://vimcasts.org/ Peeepcode has a "Meet Emacs" screencast available for about $9 as well here: https://peepcode.com/products/meet-emacs It's not quite the site you describe, but I've

These posts make me sad. If you are in a position to choose the language you're working in, choose the one that makes you and your team happy (in a gestalt sense, of course). I don't mean to be overly reductionist. But the languages that I'

Alpha software is alpha-quality. It takes time to get things right. My pre-release stuff is full of bugs...which is why it's pre-release. Seems like it's a bit early to judge the quality of their product.

As I understand it, the focus up 'til now has been correctness and compatibility rather than performance / efficiency. It seems a bit early to jump on them for that (though the speed hit you mention is surprising). That said, I'd expect t

I'm surprised by the outrage in this post. This is a very common - indeed, necessary - practice in retail. A friend of mine manages a high-end retail store in the area. He tells me that there are a number of people who match this buying pr

This post is pretty heavy on rant and mudslinging against a variety of unrelated platforms. The author forgets that GCC / the GNU toolchain alone is not sufficient to package, sign, and distribute a .ipa - instead, the developer is bound to

Sure - it was awhile back and water under the bridge by now, but the original ticket was here: https://rails.lighthouseapp.com/projects/8994/tickets/2628-r... The bug was a Ruby 1.9-specific issue that another user had stumbled on which I

I respect what Ryan's trying to do here, and understand the frustration that is almost unavoidable when working on a community-driven open source project with a large number of users. But at the same time, I'm frustrated. I've found bugs,

Interesting - yesterday morning, I found myself suggesting the opposite: http://twitter.com/cscotta/status/11604836074 I'd counter that this emerging pricing structure suggests developers are finally charging fair prices for their softwar

I like home2 much more. The contrast is nice, and the choice of gray gradient works well with the bright blue. The spacing and alignment is a bit odd (e.g., the placement of the [ Try It ] button relative to the open space to the right, bu

I think your attitude is overly dismissive. At least, I'd have a hard time writing someone off as a "typical designer" (a bit of a tired stereotype) if they're experienced in both vim and emacs, let alone work for Peepcode. The author off

Try writing something that runs on the desktop, or perhaps a program that has no user interface at all. Sometimes it's fun to branch out from things that run in a browser.

I couldn't agree more. A good validation test and set of examples are worth a hundred specs. I've been working on a project for the past couple months that involves using XMPP for client-to-client communication. While there are some good

There's no war here, and not much of a debate. Different companies with different problems use different languages and platforms. I use both. It's nice.

It's a brand new app with 1 - 1.5 developers; give them a chance ;-) The design is great. It's a bummer that Quicksilver development has ceased. Google QSB is cool, but it's also nice to see a free/ISV competitor pop up with a genuinely c

Would you care to comment on the "noindex" issue? It would be interesting to hear how these are applied and removed (algorithmically, by hand, etc?).
