My impression of IE is that Microsoft stopped developing it right at the point when they realized "Oh shit! If this gets any better, it could replace Office!"

Yes, it's stupid. But with Apple, I feel I only need to fear their intention, not their wording. The intent here, it seems to me, is to stop Adobe from making crappy commercial middleware for Apple's platforms. The wording is overly broad a

More good news about 3.3.1 "must write in C, Objective-C or C++" clause: it's made even more obvious here that Apple only cares about commercial middleware UI-driven applications. Those of us with custom toolkits and compilers (and games de

Actually, you can't play many existing games now, either -- some rely on a PSN connection, which you can't make without an updated console. So the claim that the removal of the feature is optional is a lie; either way, features which have b

This raises all sorts of interesting questions about the implications of software updates on hardware platforms that are governed by consumer protection laws. And none of them I want called into question, since I dropped $600 (and then a $1

You can use C-y to yank killed text back, unless the application is specifically interfering with it.

I actually use Gnus and Mutt with my Gmail accounts, via the offlineimap http://github.com/jgoerzen/offlineimap Python app. It creates a (ridiculously huge) maildir and then I can freely browse it with Gnus, Mutt or any other MUA. It sync

Stop believing Photoshop, Pixelmator, Illustrator, or anything else is too hard. These tools can have a steep learning curve (not as bad as you’d think), but so did programming when you were starting on this game. Knowing how the tools an

Yes, but they are low-quality TN panels. I decided to buy a refurbished T60p with an IPS display.

Is this more than just a wrapper around WebKit that can also display the article headlines to the left? Or is there more to it than the screenshots show?

I don't consider most theater to be art in that sense. Art in the sense of craft or technique, certainly. But not a kind of derivative of fine art.

I love video games, and have been playing them my entire life (beyond as far back as my memory goes), and I would not consider the majority of games to be art. "Is it art or not" is a stupid debate. What is art? You cannot even have this ar

All good :) Implementing exceptions with the continuation monad is straightforward. As you can see, that's sort of how it's used here. You can also recreate the State monad, Maybe, and others, deriving each from the continuation monad. I do

You are critiquing this as if I were suggesting people use it in production JavaScript code, which I'm not. It's a demonstration. Did you read the original article? It has an example that's even more contrived (and also incomplete.) You are

Pft, dude whatever. This is HN. We don't want lame-o languages like Java, or boring monads like Maybe. We want crazy languages like JavaScript, and the mother of all monads, the continuation monad. Here's an equivalent to what's posted in t

His initial goal was to not have to port it -- it was to get it compiling from the same source on both, since they're both Objective-C applications written atop OS X. What he found was that similar functionality was implemented with an ar

Sorry, I didn't mean to imply "you" specifically as the one dinging my karma. I kind of meant for everything after that first sentence that referred to "you" to mean anyone reading it. You can't vote down all of my comments 5 times on your

Yeah thanks, never seen that before. Buzz off. Feel free to ding my karma again, I have plenty. Might as well put it to use griping about the same people who will vote these comments down. If nobody is afraid to break the HN taboo of compla

There's no tagging or categories on HN, so it's getting more and more difficult to skip past all of the chaff coming through.
