I'm one of those weird folk who run three monitors, and even though 12.04 promised better 2+ monitor support through Unity 2D, I still find it lacking. Perhaps it's the way I have it configured, but I use two nvidia cards with xinerama, whi

Gotcha. Thank you.

Quite the rant? Really? Could've sworn I said I'm not sure what technology pud used to create the site, but it'd be interesting to know , and not saying he used rails...just using it as an example . Regardless, thanks for the builtwith.co

I'm sorry, but $2,500 a month to run this site just seems high...I'm not sure what technology pud used to create the site, but it'd be interesting to know. I'd love to see my own sites get this much traffic, but damned if I could really aff

You know...I have always hoped that as the older lawmakers died off, drugs would be decriminalized. However, I've since accepted that the huge amount of propaganda being shoved down our throats on a daily basis and the willingness of much o

That said, Microsoft got one thing very right: active directory. If someone were to develop a similar solution which could manage both platforms, I'd buy it tomorrow.

I currently run a company (on the IT side) with 100+ servers...a healthy mix of both Windows and Linux. To write-up the benefits I see of Linux over Windows would take a fairly long blog post...perhaps I'll do that soon. However, I will say

I would consider paying for .net if it received first class treatment on Linux. As someone who has lived through the pain of hosting apps on Windows, I just refuse to do it in the future. I'd love to see Microsoft bring Mono into the fold a

Doesn't dart actually do type checking? It's been a month or 2 since I played with it, but I could swear that it did type checking and reported errors when the type was wrong.

My comment was in response to "avoid all the hoop jumping other distributions make you do in order to keep their package managers happy, while still giving you all the benefits". Personally, I believe those hoops to be a myth.

I've been using debian based systems (including ubuntu) for over a decade now, and I can't think of more than a handful of times time I've had to jump through hoops to keep apt and dpkg happy. You may not always have the latest version of

I'm looking forward to the day someone puts a full-fledged Android device with a GPS capable of running most apps on my wrist. I'm an avid runner and would love to be able to use something like Runtastic and listen to podcasts without carry

So would the appropriate approach in this case be to create IForum, ITopic and IPost interfaces and, instead of calling findAll() or count() directly on the class, call it on the interface so a class can be injected? Sorry...this is all a b

Can you elaborate more on the untestable code point, for those of us who've been spending more time on ruby lately? I find play very interesting, but it's great to hear about its warts as well.

How in the world does someone begin to write something like this? It's one thing to understand the language, but how does one gain insight into the underlying mechanics of a device like this, and given this insight, understand how to instru

I have high hopes that Play will become the defacto "pragmatic" java/scala(/kotlin, when it's finally ready) framework. Play rocks.

+1. I would love to develop some customizations on top of GMail, but haven't seen a good explanation of how to do it (yet). Maybe I just haven't looked closely enough...but is this something Google actively encourages or something you have

So for those of us who would like to take this course eventually but don't necessarily have the appropriate math experience in, oh, the last decade or so, are there resources online (or even by book) which would give adequate preparation

It's about 1000% better than anything I've ever done, it's free, and the content is good. Seems like the guy is trying to help people build better web apps...that is a noble intent IMHO. Why not offer constructive criticism instead of all t

Anyone know if wayland will support remote "clients" and local "servers" the way X does today? What about xdmcp? Losing either would be quite disruptive for me....

Are you saying the "..." actions overflow button is supposed to go away? Because if you're not, your comment makes no sense in the context of mine.

by rufugee 15y ago
Tell you what...I'm a big Android fan. However, the removal of the menu button and the addition of the "..." action overflow button is the single biggest UX mistake I've seen on Android so far, for a very simple reason...the "..." is too sm

I've tried three times to switch from Rails to Django, but each time I ended up coming back. Python isn't bad, but it's a more asymmetric development experience than Ruby (IMHO) and simply doesn't sit as well with me. However, Django is jus

Don't use it if you don't like it. While you may have a point on challenges ahead for Dart, Google is one of the few companies out there with the resources to overcome them. I for one am really looking forward to a stable Dart. My company

That's an incredibly broad brush you're painting with there. I've used things like jqgrid and datatables for years now with great success.

Although I'll give you the fact that they've borrowed some from Apple, I'd also argue that they've really exceeded the Mac in terms of user friendliness and usability.
