The people I know who love it the most have pets and/or children. I do not, but I like the ease of connecting and disconnecting it and when I visit my family who do have pets and children I also appreciate the MagSafe connector.

Adding more swap may not help depending in the workload. If you're using Resque then you need to process jobs faster than they are queued. In that case you also need to ensure jobs are queued on a new instance while the old overloaded one d

For most consumers it's the same. I'd rather pay someone a few dollars than maintain Thunderbird myself (for example) and most people realistically do not have the option of maintaining it themselves. On the other hand I use a lot of OSS on

I think it's only bad because it would break with future changes to typeof. Of course I may be completely wrong on that. This works just as well and is more future proof though: function isNull(x) { return x === null } At which poi

Use Ctrl-d to end input without hitting return and you shouldn't get a newline.

And when it cannot complete arguments, just hit `ESC h` or Alt-h to get help on the current command you're typing. (See also: `ESC q` or Alt-q)

Or call shasum or sha1sum and input your password on stdin so your shell history doesn't contain your password in plain text.

It's still incredibly error prone and just bad practice. It's a telltale sign of a bad developer because a good dev would instinctively just use var without thinking about it. Good devs may make a mistake here or there but this is clearly w

I went from LaunchBar to Quicksilver to Spotlight to LaunchBar. Can't live without that clipboard history! I don't use many of its other features anymore though. Preview annotates things well enough that I never use Skitch, although Skitch

That doesn't sound right to me. People will rewrite code that already exists as open source because they don't want to take the time to understand someone else's code. But you're saying that some will reverse engineer a JS app from minified

Unless I've missed something "m" is missing from that help. Odd.

I don't have any trouble blacklisting domains for JS with current browser extensions. Why would it suddenly get more difficult?

I doubt it's a matter of knowing or not knowing about those, it's just convenience. If my hand is not on the mouse then I will just Cmd-L gith<TAB><RETURN>, but if my hands are not on the keyboard then I will right-click Ope

It may not be at the same level as disassembling binary code w/ IDA or what have you, but un-minifying or un-obfuscating JavaScript is not a trivial exercise by any means. (If I were in a nitpicking mood I would also point out that the sour

What's the worst case scenario if they suddenly start charging royalties to everyone next year?

by sjs 15y ago
h.264 is already ubiquitous and has been for at least a few years. The MPEG-LA previously stated that they will not charge royalties at least through 2015 and relatively recently extended that right indefinitely[1]. Obviously we don't know

Why was there no outcry about Apple including a YouTube app on iOS devices? If you think a few retina images will burn through data try watching a few hours of YouTube. This is a (rare) complete miss for PPK. Very rash.

I have run w/ 3rd party cookies disabled in Firefox and Chrome for some years now. A few sites used to break now and then and now it's practically non-existent. It's difficult to picture many people wanting this at all. I agree with Gruber

Agreed. Things people write for fun are often quite different from what they write for work. I've written a few compilers and interpreters for fun but that doesn't mean I have the chops to do it for a living. I could learn to do it, but t

Titanium was a nightmare. The edit-compile-debug cycle is so slow. I ran back to ObjC after two weeks. Development is faster and the resulting apps are better. It has good points too but for me it was a net negative. You couldn't insert row

Learn the language. You can't just outsource understanding the language you write code in. Even if you just mash together some jQuery you have to understand the semantics for `this` or you're going to trip over them later. It's not even tha
