Ad hominem doesn't mean "a public attack". It simply means arguing that a point is invalid/less valid because of who is making it. Or as Wikipedia says: "attempt to persuade which links the validity of a premise to a characteristic or beli

As was pointed out the last couple times this article was posted, this is an ad hominem fallacy. Criticism should be judged on its merit, not based on ones opinion of critics. Jose Canseco is completely nuts and an asshole to boot (go check

Working at a ski resort in Utah for two years was one of the best decisions of my life. Great town, great people, fun outdoor activities year round, nightlife, and plenty of time to code. Just be ready to barely scrape by - makes it easie

Does the former assume you will be using Eclipse?

Right. The germane thing about the superbowl ad is that you can't put an accurate value on ROI. I've seen a ton of ads for Snorg tees (for example), and while, yes, that has created brand awareness in my head it's not worth anything until

Are you saying the crackdown is yet to come? Ie on things that are being approved right now, even after accepting the new ToS?

Check out vimcasts.org. The guy who makes them even occasionally refers to how to do things in vim that he likes in TextMate.

I endured this meme two years ago in corporate America: it was patronizing and obnoxious then, too. I hope this guy at least gets paid to to run generational awareness workshops for people to ignore over sandwiches and doesn't run through

my kid's at least giving golf a shot. Even if you just play in college you travel to sick locations. 20th place at the 2009 Masters was $97,500.

It seems the outrage is mostly about the seemingly excessive punishment. After all, he wasn't sneaky. It's up to Apple to enforce the policy for normally purchasing customers. His behavior was no different than someone who was ignorant o

When comedians go on late-night shows they work bits of their material into the interview. This is a bit -- he's said elsewhere that the guy in the story is him.

I think snowboarding is the kind of culture that wouldn't respond to something that direct. It's an outsider's culture, so the branding you want in snowboarders' heads is "the best riders ride Burton" not "be like Shaun by purchasing the n

Well, that's a valid question to ask (what problem are you solving), but it lends itself to a poll even less than this question. This was, though, the one that I personally wanted to see answers to, and I'm just as interested in specific

Just the sort of response I was hoping for. I wasn't really interested in Node before, now I think I'll check it out.

You do security stuff right? Yeah, I'm pretty ignorant about that (regretfully). But I've seen you post about hiring, saying that you are looking for smart people, and have specified Rails. OK, so if I contacted you about a job and had s
