Allow me to disagree. Apple is doing the right thing asking the user confirmation for installing apps. Better safe than sorry.

What's up with all the people trying to discuss the physics involved? The video is blatantly fake, for other reasons entirely: the obvious viral factor, shady YouTube channel, bad acting, fake camera movement, etc. This thing is probably a

It doesn't take much caffeine to produce fasciculation (specially on facial muscles) in some people, for instance.

While typing on a tablet is certainly not ergonomic, iWork for iPad has pretty amazing user experience. It actually feels better and more intuitive than the Mac version thanks to touch and gestures.

At your cache layer (e.g. Varnish), you would need some VCL to collapse all the hundreds of User-Agents options into something sane like "X-Device", feed this header to your backend, and vary the content based on that instead. This way you

A lot of good points there, but the part about detecting mobile devices is a bit short sighted. Varying your content based on mobile User-Agent (or any User-Agent actually) renders public caches almost impossible to get right.

That is so cool, and the mechanics they used to read the molecules and miniaturize the equipment look incredibly clever for me, as an ignorant in chemistry. Biology is getting more and more "hackable". It seems we are seeing the same ki

"You should move it to the Trash"? What kind of crap is that? Apple is going down the terrorism route to make sure developers pay them to join the walled garden? I'm afraid this is a glimpse of the post-Jobs era. Modal dialogs with technica

Deeply nested code is usually a symptom of not thinking the problem in advance and solving it with data structures, instead relying on ad-hoc conditionals to solve it. When I find myself testing against too many conditions, I usually refact

My biggest gripe too. Hopefully stdlib got more love lately on Python 3.

Besides PDB, you are really just complaining about design aspects.

As a programmer who knows both languages, while I like regex as a native type with it's own notation, I don't miss ruby blocks at all. Most Ruby code I see abuses blocks pretty badly instead of refactoring behaviour into a function, and soo

Cool app! Just not too much to my MacBook, 5 mins and it runs too hot. But it's a neat trick.

Very interesting essay. I'm not sure if this is a "French get parenting right" as much as it is "American parenting is screwed up". I'm from Brazil myself, and it's worrying to see that, together with the latest economic changes (higher inc

That seems very interesting, and shows the "GitHub" approach to collaboration can work on other realms other than code. I wonder if it could work for product design, too?

Who still uses FTP? I believe SFTP has been the standard for quite some time already.

Automatic type coercion feels like a double-barreled shotgun, with one of the barrels pointed back at you: 0. Is only marginally useful 1. You have to be careful with what are you loading, and where 2. Will sooner or later blow up in your f
