I don't think salty is the right word. Salt implies some kind of frustration and I don't think that's accurate here. I'd call it an honest, judgmental article.

The 10,000 hour rule does more damage than good. Guitar is a perfect example to illustrate why. a) It doesn't take 10,000 hours to be halfway decent at guitar. If all you want to do is be able to strum the chords for most popular music

You're presuming that Wheeler would have behaved exactly the way he has without the criticism that was leveled at his appointment. I'm not sure that is accurate. I do not at all regret my assumptions about Wheeler or my criticism

Framing it that way ignores that Google has always presented its rankings as fair. If they had always been up front about giving an unfair advantage to their own sites then that would have possibly changed history and opened up space for a

It shows you when the file is being edited, when it has unsaved changes, and when it's been saved. It also has a linter that shows you if there are typos. It's a full fledged IDE. It works great.

What? I live and grew up in the US and go shopping multiple times a week. Every store I go to has generic and branded products next to each other on the shelves. The only exceptions are Aldi, Trader Joe's and Costco. The first two most

by ebbv 10y ago
If a supermarket did give favorable exposure to their generic brand products, the other companies could complain about that and it would be unfair. Usually the generics are on the shelf right next to the brand products for this very reason.

Hopefully your C9 workspace is on a development server instead of on a production one....

by ebbv 10y ago
Congratulations C9. My team uses C9 literally all day every day, and I hope this only means you'll have more resources at your disposal for faster iteration. My only concern is that this could possibly mean getting rid of SSH Workspace

by ebbv 10y ago
The reason my team uses C9 is it facilitates remote pair programming in a really nice way. That's the main purpose of it for us. It also means I can have a nice IDE running on our development server instead of on my local machine, whic

I'm glad you enjoyed it but I personally found it obnoxious and irritating. I'd far prefer straight ahead, simple, factual release notes.

I realize this style of pricing is the new hotness and I get why it's appealing for the company providing the service, but as a developer this is really unappealing to me. The last thing I want to do is have to worry about how many API

Unfortunately this doesn't include what kind of fine WB has to pay, that will come out later. I hope it's stiff. This kind of deception has to cost more than it benefits the company if they are going to be deterred from it. Unfort

I've never read this guy's writing before but in this article I think he is way over-intellectualizing things. Meaning is whatever you want it to be. Some people find meaning in easing the suffering of others. Some people find mea

I choose languages based on what is best suited for the project. That is determined by the architecture of the project (is it a SPA or a more Ye Olde Fashioned web site? Is it just an API? Does it need web sockets? etc.) The architecture is

I'm not missing that point. I didn't address that point of individual choice at all. I was highlighting the cultural difference. If you would take two seconds to stop being so dismissive and pedantic maybe you could actually under

That's not really the point. That statement is being used to illustrate the fact that sex is not "just labor." If it were "just labor" it wouldn't be any more traumatic than being forced to make coffee or being

by ebbv 10y ago
Sorry but it's you who is missing the point here. Nobody's arguing about whether we should be able to be forced to do anything. Everybody agrees that we should not. The point is that there's a difference between regular labor

by ebbv 10y ago
That's a bit of a stretch. If you're forced to serve someone coffee one time most people would agree that's messed up but not that big of a deal. If you're forced to have sex once, you've been raped and that's

It's true. I view syntax preference kind of like car preference. Very personal and some people have deep reasons and others don't.

I don't think it's just perceived uncoolness. I learned Pascal in high school AP CompSci and I've always found it's syntax to be ugly and inelegant. But I learned C first so maybe that's why.
