It depends how often I run the commands. Subversion -> darcs, git, etc. was like a breath of fresh air. I know that was going out to the network but still latency can be a killer.

I rarely use find because zsh has great globbing. I really wish zsh were the default shell everywhere, most people wouldn't even notice if you changed the prompt from % to $

MySQL and PostgreSQL aren't in the same ball park as Mongo. It's irrelevant. Based on merits, architecture, and implementation Riak handily beats several of the DBs listed. It's a glaring omission and not the only one. As many chose Other a

Was that dig at Android and iOS's reliability intentional? I find iOS very stable and reliable (started with iPhone OS 3.0). Android less so but not too bad. My Nexus One had an occasional problem with the lock screen in 2.2 that has since

The Changelog blog isn't half bad: http://thechangelog.com/ The blog + podcast combo is a cool idea, I don't really to podcasts but 5by5 rekindled that interest so I might check it out. I usually just follow or fork projects I end up usin

Been using that for a few weeks, it's great. I previously used brotherbard's experimental branch from github and he told me about it. I use GitX for committing and browsing and the command line for the rest. None of the GUIs have blown me a

And if staging by line never failed that would be stellar ;)

Ok don't include JavaScript. So there is only PHP that does this? I'm just trying to find out where the article is coming from. I didn't think this was a common theme amongst languages.
432.
by sjs 15y ago
Do so many languages conflate arrays and hashes? I know of PHP and JavaScript. PHP was not designed at all so no point discussing it. JavaScript was initially written in a week so we forgive Brendan Eich.

I have a personal one I rarely use and one for logging in to just look at something behind the sign in linked from HN or reddit. I might go there to message someone I fell out of contact with but I deactivate my account instead of logging o

It comes down to caring enough to do it right. You have to love it and be a pedant who pays stringent attention to detail. You can be smart and motivated but unless you really want to know why and how it all works and fits together it's har

Nope, sorry to disappoint. I'm pretty objective.

No apologies because none are warranted. Just watch Apple for a few years and you'll see how routine this is. What if WebGL turns out to be a flop? (I know it's unlikely at this point, this is purely hypothetical) If that were the case they

by sjs 15y ago
Apple often uses frameworks itself in one generation of the OS (Mac or iOS) and then makes it public in the next release after they've worked out the kinks. This is similar, they are testing out WebGL in something under their thumb that the

Oh boy here we go... queue the comments about how Apple hates your cat or whatever ridiculous theory people will invent to explain this. Apple is testing WebGL. Introducing it in iAds is a pilot and will allow them to shake out bugs and suc

I'm not about to go looking at all of their accounts but considering the comments most left it looks like they were already logged in. I doubt they all signed up just to post a 'lol'. I'd put my money on these comments being from an interse

I agree that a switch to Windows does not make sense. I fled to OS X because I'm a Unix biggot and don't want a system that doesn't ship with zsh or bash. Apparently darwin's posix API sucks and is different from Linux but I'm not affected

by sjs 15y ago
Did the same thing at a similar time. Played with Linux from 1999 till 2002 then made the switch until I got a Mac mini in 2005, used Linux and OS X until 2006 when I got a Yonah MacBook and then basically used OS X almost exclusively on th

Just a note: Francisco didn't release this. He just pushed it to Github and others have posted it here. I don't think he mentioned it on twitter even, it's a glimpse of something he's hacking on.

A possible wireless solution could be based on having tons of fiber laid out so that you can put antennas and base stations basically anywhere. 4G and LTE are okay but nothing close to 1 gbps. We need a new wireless standard to saturate tha

Apple is not invincible, look at the iPhone 4 antenna fiasco. I agree that it's bad that they deny most problems instead of being transparent about them. It can be extremely frustrating, you file a Radar ticket and then it goes into a black

Apple is far bigger than their cult following. If you attribute their success to the cult you are only fooling yourself. A cult alone doesn't buy 200,000,000+ iOS devices. People generally do not use Apple products that suck, not everything

Auto-save coming to games since 10 years ago. Who cares? This is OS-wide auto save and heavily promoted as how all modern OS X apps should behave. That's far bigger than implementing it in one suite of software and stopping there.

A couple are pretty far out there, but sometimes those are the most plausible as Apple announces "crazy" things now and then. > iOS runtime within Mac OS to allow iPhone apps to run as Dashboard widgets and iPad apps as first-class desk

Please don't put words in my mouth, that is not what I said. I think it's silly that people want to hide the stories instead of just not reading them. I understand that they have no interest in them, however I don't think it's such a burden
