That's not easy.

Right, and why would you want to make it easier to hire bad people?

I think "predicting" is a too much of a compliment. How does "fantasizing about" fit?

I don't understand, what does Steve Jobs have to do with this fictional bullshit, and how does it make Jobs greedy?

I never said anything about a guarantee. I'm just saying that if you want to hire a programmer, the fact that there are thousands and thousands more of .NET programmers doesn't make hiring any easier . You want quality, not quantity.

The point isn't which attributes the different races have, it's that their race defines them as a person -- not their upbringing, their experiences or their values. Their race.

That's my go-to argument when choosing languages. Whenever someone says to use Java or .NET rather than the relatively obscure Ruby (or Node.js or whatever) because that makes it easier to find programmers, I always ask why they want to sta

The term "big" doesn't really mean anything. The US has a higher population density. Per person served, it would be cheaper to cover the US than the Nordic countries.

In my experience, the most common problem with user entered email addresses is that they've mistakenly used a comma where they should have used a period.

The point with Git isn't to not have a central repo, it's that you can have any structure of repos you want.

Everybody knows this, it's a matter of whether it's worth it or not; where you draw the line. POF users did indeed get the convenience of a password reminder in every email. But they also got the inconvenience of having their passwords comp

Apple knows that most people buy computers in the budget segment. Apple doesn't sell computers in that segment. They know what they'd have to do to gain significant marketshare: enter the budget segment, the "race to the bottom", and they

Yeah, I expect it to be very weak consolation to (for instance) Dell that, although Apple is kicking their asses, at least Windows is installed on more computers than OS X is. If Dell is "winning" they'd rather be "losing".

The same can be said of many, most, or maybe even all countries.

Kinect upgrades the Xbox 360, while iPhone replaces the previous model.

Of course you can. The same way we make HTML manageable; by pre-processing it. Sass, Less to name just the two most common options.

The OS X built in Preview.app does most of the lightweight cropping and editing for me. In terms of lightweight editing, what it lacks is basically brushes.

If it won't be elegant and simple to use, it will never see the light of day.

What if it takes off just because it's well-designed and customer focused, like most things Apple? Are people really gullible, or are you bad at understanding what makes technology take off? I mean, just consider the options here; either mi

What Apple's got though, are credit card numbers. They can't really leverage credit card numbers to route around credit card companies.

What problems are you guys having with git on Windows?

No, Jobs doesn't design anything. Although, he edits everything . And that part is as crucial as the design part.

by tjogin 16y ago
I think you are right; the years immediately following Jobs' departure from Apple will be just fine . Five or ten years after that though? When Jobs' influence and vision has faded a little bit, maybe some new blood has come on board, and

Most of the solutions applied to even out gender imbalances are bad solutions, for several reasons, some of which you outline. The prevalence of bad simplistic solutions should not suggest that it is not a problem worth addressing, howeve

We are equal, but we are also different . These things are often conflated, but they are not the same.

I've read Gruber since he began writing Daring Fireball, I don't think he's changed much at all. I don't see how he's turned from Apple pundit to Apple fanboy , a rather peculiar thing to happen to anyone with time, really. What has ch

Articles I found mentioning HIG wherein Gruber praises Apple's design consistency: zero. Why don't you try finding some for yourself? Like I said, this has been a pet peeve of his for years.

Here's a few links to Gruber criticizing the poor state of the HIG, and Apple's design decisions: http://daringfireball.net/2007/07/hockenberry_hig http://daringfireball.net/2004/10/brushed-metal http://daringfireball.net/2003/05/much_

Apple has been straying from their own HIG for years and Gruber has been criticizing them for it every step of the way. You assume too much.
