   Interesting side note: one of the most successful altcoins (a few years ago, back when people cared about this stuff) was called litecoin. The major difference is that it used scrypt instead of SHA because it was hard to parallelize. The id

   Yes but that's not what's being discussed in this thread. However, I did mention it in another comment because I think it's terribly disingenuous of people to post in here saying "BUT HOW ELSE WILL THESE POOR POOR BLOGGE

   Why is that my problem? There are a hundred thousand shitty games on the App Store that all have in app purchases. Should I go and pay for them because I don't want them to die? It's the job of someone who wants money to convince

   But what you're supposing is that there is _no way_ for people to profit off of their content except to bother me with invasive advertising. I simply can't accept this: the history of our industry and capitalism as a whole is a ca

   I think it's extremely simple that someone he had a business relationship with put pressure on him in private and he caved. This is a far more common occurrence than people acting against their own financial best interest in the name o

   While I agree with you in principle, I don't think that people not wanting intrusive advertising in their blogs and acting to avoid it is going to effect this problem one way or another. What you're asking for is a BBC-style news

    I agree with you. If the consumer doesn't enjoy a part of their experience with your product, you're gonna feel the effects of that whether or not a sympathetic developer helps them out or not. To me this feels the same as big com

    I hate this supposition that everyone should bend over backwards to allow people who make money in a certain way continue making money in that way. Am I the only one thinks that the user's experience should be more important than every

    This is good stuff: I've already added it to my dotfiles git repo that sync between machines I use. I would like, however, an option to turn off the 'git:' bit. Chartjunk is exactly what it is :)

    Thank you. I came here to see if someone pointed out the irony of his misusing a legal term in a post admonishing people for misusing business terms. EDIT: It looks like he ninja-edited the post as it no longer said what I'd read the f

    I agree with everything here except the idea that you shouldn't start with MacVIM. The main issue with new users getting into modal editors is the learning curve. If you can reduce the upfront difficulty by accepting OS-specific hotkey

    I am not a lawyer™ but the creators should definitely consult one to 1) determine how much risk they are exposing themselves to and 2) determine a reasonable course of action to limit that risk exposure. The question is not on whether or no

    They are making artists pay for their user acquisition. I still call that profiting off of someone else's work without compensating them.

    In 215 comments no one that I could find has mentioned that, while well-intentioned, this post comes off as somewhat disingenuous because Apple does not deal directly with the artists. The entire (pretty well-written) thing doesn't men

    I feel like this comment is gonna get crushed, but this is the attitude people need to have. This sort of thing should not be tolerated at all by those paying for it to happen, and the only way it's going to change is if people get mad

    Your second point is very good; I get the feeling that NIH is simply a buzzword at the moment. Especially since a cursory glance Infer's source code will show that it was, in fact, invented somewhere else and purchased by Facebook.

    This appears† to be the result of Facebook having purchased a UK company called Monoidics†† in 2013. It's nice to see these types of acquisitions resulting in code getting opensourced. † https://github.com/facebook&#x2F
