That was roughly my take away. Hetzner looks really bad - but the explanation that they are incompetent and lazy sounds more likely than the criminal explanation. And EFnet looks wronged. But also looks bad for spreading allegations against

Just having a HTML doc with a meta refresh from the distribution to the latest version would make a lot of things easier. IE have http://cocoadocs.org/docsets/NUI/ Redirects to: http://cocoadocs.org/docsets/NUI/0.2.7/ This would enable

The stuff I'm working on doesn't use interface builder at all. Nor storyboards. When I start a new project I'll take a look - I was actually advised to ignore the tools and go all code all the time (and lots of images). And it’s worked ou

Coming to Cocoa dev from the web all of the direct manipulation in objective C of styling seems like mayhem. I’m not very far in, but already the giant amount of searching and replacing required to change all the corner radii in an app is c

Licensing requirements frequently require access to the facility by inspectors. Video access would be a new stretch but if food inspectors aren't a violation of the meat packing plants rights, I'm not sure that video camera's would be dee

So much is this depends on your "awesome" level. Personally I'd be hard-pressed to think of anything anyone on the planet has done this year that is awesome. Or at least that I've heard. A couple of my friends done "pretty excellent" things

This is perfectly compatible with Postgres. However this does not prevent any of your employees or other users of systems with access to use spipped from committing this attack. You still need a client somewhere and the server is still vuln

Living with the doctor, I've come to the conclusion that: yes, quite probably this is the future – but this future is going to be about as easy to implement as replacing programmers with Watson.

That they did. I assume it’s for the reason that maxerickson stated. These where some /really/ simple taxes. Other than the huge (for me) fine, it was a fairly painless experience. My parents did handle it - but even for them other than t

On just the subject of a watches and status/fashion. If I’m going to a formal event I’m going to be be wearing a watch with my suit. It’s a status symbol perhaps, but I’d put it closer to a fashion. And it’s an old fashion - this is not s

That is a reasonable conclusion to draw. But not the one I draw. However there were 20 years between the 2 events. And the first was found because of an audit, while the second I found and reported within a few months of filing. There’s a

To heck with that, Wikipedia says the verified oldest person is alive and 115. I say you patent living to 116, and start collecting checks next year if old Jiroemon Kimura, is that lucky / unlucky. * or you could skip verified and go with

Interestingly - my experience, on innocent mistakes, has been varied. I got hammered owing 6 or 8 hundred dollars for a $200 mistake when I was 10 years old and making money off of my paper route. (No, my parents didn't cover the bill nor d

Yeah - I was thinking about a Java codebase I was looking at a while back that had ultra verbose variable names like "BackupCopyOfLedgerUsedInWorstCaseScenarioProjections" You couldn’t even do a simple addition in 80 characters. This limit

So perhaps what I’m saying is that at some point you have to kick when down, at least if a vendor is always down. Every marketing campaign I’ve ever been involved in ran for longer than 2 weeks. And in my example I was not joking - we were

I don’t know - I think I’m a bit darwinistic here. Having suffered through some products with bi-weekly downtime, I tend to think competitors should be allowed tout whatever their strengths are including uptime if that’s one of them. And i

Until she got an iPad my mother ran Outlook. It’s all she knew how to operate for a mail program, and she "wasn’t learning something new". I don’t think she was alone - I’d bet a ridiculous number of $300 netbooks have a $100 Windows OS and

One of the things discussed in this article is a fairly common complaint that my wife, a physician, brings home from work. The lack of diversity and patient panels affects all kinds of drug research - not just pain medicine. And panels are

The article says it’s likely Credo Mobile. They're a fairly great little MVNO out of San Francisco. My wife, who is a customer, loves their customer service. And they’ve spoken out against the Patriot act - here’s tweet of theirs on the

A rather fun game. The data from Seattle is "official" so calls Ballard "Adams" - a name I’ve never heard anyone but the city clerks office use. And a few other things of that sort. But by and large it’s accurate, and interesting. The co

It looks like that sucker only runs if you have snapshots of the root disk to copy across regions. The script we use in house uses netcat and a pair of running EC2 instances, one in each region. All of the solutions I've seen, before this a

This sentiment seems to be common amongst people who fought their way through git’s somewhat obtuse syntax first. People coming from the other direction (hg first), I know a lot of people who wish they could go back to mercurial, but for va

I also disagree. Although not the rule, there are occasionally interesting articles who's comment threads have been hijacked, and are misguided, politically movitivated, wrong and/or the conversation is broken in some other way. I'm up voti
