I find it amusing that a application only runnable on OSX needs to drag along node + quite a few deps.

Surely doing that would require them to rewrite the Apache license (thus making it no longer the apache license) otherwise there's no legal way of enforcing the non-commercial use?

Unfortunately scaling becomes useless if you need todo any graphical related work, where you really do need 1:1 (retina) resolution.

This also goes for all of the retina models. Even the 15" has a smaller retina resolution than the non-retina higher-dpi older 15" MacBook Pro. Apple really needs to get to the "next-generation" retina displays with 25%

It doesn't look like fantastic Ruby code, you're right. I just wouldn't agree that JS "works well" when it comes to their somewhat afterthought functional iterators.

You would probably get a better deal selling the watch as a watch itself than melting it down for its raw gold. Apple has let you bring you old devices in to be recycled in the past however; Maybe they could extend this to buy back old watc

They still have to sell the watch itself with their margins however. There's nothing stopping you from buying an aftermarket strap, and if they require you to purchase a strap with the watch -- well then it doesn't matter how the

There seemed to be plenty of people from lots of different parts of the world. If you were actually concerned about diversity maybe you should be looking more than skin deep yourself.

Do you still require the JVM installed in the same way you would the Ruby's VM?

Works well meaning don't use functional calls at all if you want to escape from them.

RE binaries, compilability seems difficult due to how dynamic method calls are, but Rubymotion seems to have solved that to some extent, though it's a shame it requires a subscription to even develop on which doesnt appeal. What are th

Not by itself no, but you can't block tracking beacons and then leave gaping holes in the form of AdSense, so if your motive is tracking then you're not going to see most ads regardless.

by delsalk 12y ago
I don't think any normal internet user would consider ads in that way, only the lesser of two evils. People "voting with their mice" and choosing to install ad blockers isn't really a ringing endorsement.

by delsalk 12y ago
While a good step, personally my reasons for blocking ads rests more from a tracking standpoint than visually. Google being a middleman makes it logistically easy but removes the main reason why I would pay some amount directly to sites the

Based on recent developments with both Google and MS in the past few years, I treat them with the same amount of trepidation.

Probably because HN doesnt want people accidentally linking to Google's tracking search results by accident, although HN should really wrap paywalled articles by default, or at least have a policy on what is allowed. Im sure more than

Its quite embarrassing how badly Atom performs, how many subprocesses it opens and how much memory it will happily leak during the X hours its in use. I really wouldn't consider using anything NW/node-webkit or the like for all bu

Agree, I am impressed with how Textmate development has been going since it was opensourced, but my point really was that OS issues, bugs and incompatibilities can quickly add up over the course of a year or two, without any active developm

Especially since it seems to have been abandoned for a while now according to their website. The last beta build was 5 months ago, and the one before that over a year. (Obviously your editor doesn't need to be updated regularly, but

Reading your first two links makes it seem like you get both, given that your statutory rights aren't affected by Apple's own warranty, so for the coverage for the first or 3 years you can get anything solved via AppleCare, and fo

I wonder how that applies when you purchase something from an Apple Store, since that means they're both. I remember seeing a page on the Apple website listing info for extended warranties in EU member countries, which I assume this sp

Is that part of the EU wide protection places like the UK, Germany, etc also get or something specific to your country?
