I'm just going to point out a single flaw in this argument. 2) Apple has _a_ dev on the MacRuby project. One dev does not a complete project make. Perhaps in time, if they put more support behind MacRuby, but I'll believe it when I see it.

This doesn't make much sense to be honest. Just because two companies don't see eye to eye on an executive level and are competing on some products doesn't mean they will take a flamewar over languages and make business decisions based on t

All of this rings true, with the exception of having some forms notarized. My name on my forms did not match the name on my credit card when I paid for my Apple Developer account. A short time later Apple deactivated my account and left it

It definitely has a very similar feel, watching the movement over time.

I've wanted to write some exploratory algorithms for flocking for a long time now. This is just the motivation I need to start working on a silly side project. Thank you, everyone in the comments who submitted source code or demos. You neve

I especially appreciated how, when going from the top of the page down to the bottom, the middle tab would show the down-state briefly, while the browser scrolls to the bottom.

First you make it work, then you make it perform well. What, you were expecting the first code they wrote to be perfect?

Just a guess, I think there might be some APIs available in SnowLeopard that allow Chrome to write its tabbed content to files and read it in asynchronously more easily than they could have in Leopard. Sometimes when I switch to a tab that

Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean it isn't true. Honestly, I don't think blocking paying customers from installing applications and using root permissions effectively is a sound business strategy for the desktop / laptop / OS X mark

A small quibble: the Find My iPhone service is free for all iPhone4 (maybe all?) owners. That is a good point though, although the rule doesn't come into effect until June.

This is beyond outrageous and can hardly qualify as news. Can anyone explain why they upvoted this in the first place?

It's fascinating to me that they're profitable already. I can't imagine it being easy to get users to pay for file sharing.

Looking at the recent commits in the last two days, it doesn't look like visionmedia has changed anything for 0.4.0 in particular. If you're interested, you should try it out and file issues appropriately. I'll probably be doing exactly tha

No. Did you even read the specs? It says exactly what this comes with.

Further proof that mouse events and touch events are not the same. I'm working on a concept for the iPad that is similar and came here hoping that it would work on a touch screen as well, but looks like there's no silver bullet.

Rails is just Ruby. It's not the most complicated language to learn, and you don't need to know much about computers to START developing in ruby or Rails. See? This has nothing to do with platforms, and everything to do with realizing your

So we've progressed from a small subset of the population as sys admins to ... everyone who wants to deploy an application/service being a sys admin? This seems like a step backwards, in some ways. I suppose this is a win for people that ju

Regardless of whether or not they are using all of the addresses, they probably find it easier to continue holding onto them for future needs and convenience than to give any of them up for short term gain. IT Departments hate having to man

Really though, how many different ways are there to display ... [PRODUCT NAME] {tagline} [email form] ...on a web page? Is it that it's centered with a large background image? How much is this ACTUALLY ripped directly from another site vers

Absolutely true. Steve Martin's "Novocaine" was a dark comedy that made fun of the issue of dentists that take advantage of their patients, sexually, while under anesthesia (and it covered drug abuse as well). That was a serious concern too

Hear me out for a second. I really don't understand this mentality of "yeah me too". It's great to be heard and all, but why contribute anything if you have nothing to contribute. Furthermore, if you have nothing to contribute, why offer &#

The rage is directed at the people that put forth time and effort into releasing applications in the App Store, as well as at Apple for enabling these people to publish apps that offend their delicate sensibilities. I can see where he's com

From SF at least, I'd have to say Ruby, followed closely by objective c and clojure.

I feel the same way when I'm writing python on my mac, or sitting down to try out some crazy new idea with node.js. It can be very hard to explain aside from "doing it this way makes me feel a certain way" or "it's an interesting experience

Do we really need to keep rehashing how popular jQuery is, and how frequently it is cached client-side from various CDNs? It's not simply that it moves, it's a slick presentation of a very boring element (namely unordered lists).

Not to hate on Cappuccino (I'm actually a fan of the framework), but this is the most common defense of web apps that are trying to perform the same functions as native apps. There are some definite strengths here, as well as weaknesses, an

a) It's free! b) Their homepage clearly says it's in beta. They probably still have some features they'd like to launch. So far in the 30 minutes I tooled around with it, I picked up a few interesting ideas for a project I'm working on to t
