Also, there's some application for lambdas, here: ruby-1.9.3-p0 :001 > double = -> x { x * 2 } => #<Proc:0x000001009236e0@(irb):1 (lambda)> ruby-1.9.3-p0 :002 > double[2] => 4 ruby-1.9.3-p0 :003 &

Wouldn't you think of this as slightly contrary to the purpose of backing a Kickstarter project? What I mean is, say the project had been set at 300k and python was one of the base supported languages. That would actually be no different t

Ah, okay. I was about to say originally that it is entirely cross-platform, then I realized there was some qualitative language in the parent post and wondered if maybe the Windows flavor was just flawed somehow. Thanks!

Without disagreeing with the prevailing opinions on the reward rankings, may I observe that it's interesting how Kickstarter has transformed donations for innovation into a shopping cart experience? So many folks in this thread, myself incl

Are you saying that Sublime Text doesn't run well on Windows? I know it runs just fine on Mac and Linux.

I agree with you on the preference, but I'd like to add that sometimes a format preference exists only as a way of allowing the author to express their ideas succinctly. As much as I may dislike the storyteller format of the article, philo

At odds with many of the comments in this thread, I interpreted the article as satire and was definitely amused. The fact is that a lot of this is uncomfortably true and there is only a small chance that I would interpret this being said of

That's exactly what I'm getting at, here. The accusations of this being because there is an ominous police state is ludicrous when we could just put expectations of responsibility in place.

This is not valid reasoning. Under this logic, we could feasibly be just as alarmed by balconies of any sort or platforms at any height greater than one story. [Edit]: Which is not to say that there are hurtling objects on these things, b

I agree with you. It reminds me of a response someone made to me when I professed that I had a kneejerk negative reaction to something (which I admittedly still have a kneejerk negative reaction to... Oh well). They linked this: http://l

This is what I've been spinning in my head: Why. Why? Why would you choose such a high-stake, broad-scoped project as the time to use brand new tech which you have no experience with? It's fantastic that everything worked out in the end,

Sorry, I could have been more clear. What I mean is, almost all of the colors are hard coded, unlike primaryButtonColor. You can easily adjust that one, but the others are trickier. The newest version of variables.less in the 2.0 wip branc

Let's see: Button groups. Toolbars. Icons sprites. Progress bars. Checkboxes and radios as buttons. More appropriate terminology (Tooltips instead of Twispies). Some retouches on styling and class naming. An overall increase of funct

Fantastic, guys. Great job. Question: I notice that the button styles are still static (as are a lot of the color styles). Are there any plans to implement project-wide color changing based on the primary color variable? I ask because I'

I want to share my results of a tertiary topic on this thread: Adam Lipsius claiming that hundreds of thousands of pirated copies of "16-LOVE" had destroyed his chances of profiting from the film. A Google of Adam Lipsius returned his IMDB

A curious bit about the P2P stuff - although it's clever as can be, it makes bootstrapping on lighter network hardware excruciating. Such a shame.

The allegation was that a skew occurred based on the timetable of a full-steam advertised marketplace vs. a growing, unadvertised marketplace. The narrative in this case is not something which supports the reader, whether or not it support

I don't know if android and iOS will be matched any time soon. One day, cars could fly (more frequently than they do now). I'm with you on the essence of the article being worth a blurb or a micropost of some sort. It was an objection art

I really want to see income levels as well. There's no denying that the article didn't retort with actual data, a huge flaw. I even went to the end of the article expecting to see a data-driven response, and was disappointed that there wa

I don't think you really answered anything from his article except the mention of the ad-supported applications, which you are correct if impolite about. The rest of your post seems to be filled with content you've prepared ahead of time? F

I'm so glad to hear that there's a mild representation from a few voices of reason. Trying to drum up any sort of attention from my Facebook/Twitter list is just frustrating and had left me very disheartened.

Unfortunately, you can. There is money in nearly any societal state. The ruination of a country just presents different opportunities, not necessarily fewer.

I'm not trying to be deliberately obtuse, here, but would you please clarify where the money is, there?

Isn't this the same fella who blogged about how ridiculous it was to buy color.com for 300k? Not crying foul or anything. Just curious.

The bottom line is, the only way to avoid getting defenestrated in patent disputes in court, is to have a portfolio. There was no choice if Google wanted to protect their interests. Logically, they had to do something. As said previously,

Used to work for Starbucks. We once had a day where all of our customers decided to 'pay it forward', and buy the next person's drinks. It led to a lot of accounting for me, but the final tally was something in the vein of 800 transactions

The article isn't bad, and I more or less agree with a lot of it, but I feel like this individual is dramatically underestimating normal people vs. Silicon Valley folk. Namely: Being a geek doesn't mean you don't have a developed social gr
