The main reason he gives is that it increases the barrier to entry for liking a video, which is important for many content creators. (like him) This seems concrete and significant. I don't agree however with his assessment of this changing

Gerrit ( http://code.google.com/p/gerrit/ ) addresses some of the same problem space and comes with an awesome code review system. It also has one of the world's strangest access control systems. But it works and it's free, and the code rev

Seems reasonable to me. Your algorithm generated too much garbage, so you made a version that generates less. I might take issue with the implementation depending in how you went about it, but it's conceptually a sound technique.

Unix is great because everything is a file. Except when it's not so great. By far the best part of the article: "The one really memorable “Oh sh-t” moment was literally very early on in Linux development, when I realized that I had auto-dia

You can expose any QObject to a QWebView, it shows up as a property of the window object. It's remarkably easy.

Browsing through the demo gallery, I become terrified that tools like this will become popular and poorly done animations will begin saturating the web. It looks like a fine tool when used appropriately and tastefully, but that's entirely u

Depending on your requirements, CouchDB may be useful to you. I'm frankly a little bit leery about sticking my database straight on the Internet without something in between to mediate access, but at least in principle CouchDB has a user au

It's clearly possible to develop serious software without tools like rvm and bundler, the whole world has been doing it for quite awhile before they came about. We did things like putting library dependencies into source control and beating

LinkGrammar looks very interesting and useful. But I believe that its scope is somewhat smaller than NLTK. Aside from sentence parsing, NLTK also gives you a bunch of tools for document tokenization, statistical analysis, classification, an

First reactions: 1) "Create and discover hard drives" => "huh? what on earth does that mean?" 2) "Share, make them password protected or open them up for others to add to it" => I'm no closer to understanding what your product does.

"ClickOnce" deployment, which you get for free when you're developing a windows desktop app, does the same thing as far as I can tell. And it doesn't install a service on your system; instead you can configure it to check for updates in the

The build video is somewhat amusing to me. The crowd was WAY into the REPL demo, wherein they showed things that any dynamic language has been doing for decades, all the while trumpeting the "power of static typing". There IS power in stati

If you consider it as a mobile version of AIR ( http://www.adobe.com/products/air/ ) then its relevance should be apparent. Not sure why AIR is important to them in the first place though.

"Code boyscouting" is an excellent way to put it. @yzhengyu's experience is representative of my own, though without the same degree of politics. Even in conversations with those who should know better, it's nearly impossible to put technic
