Out of curiosity, what do you do in a terminal? I ask because I used Linux as my primary desktop for about 7 years before moving to OSX in '06, and since then I've been using Terminal somewhat exclusively (except for the occasional peek at

No new news, just a job listing. edit: Meaning, this is a job listing that could normally apply to a MobileMe position, but given recent speculation about apple expanding their "cloud", the job listing is used as fuel for that fire.

Ah, good point, I thought you were dismissing it because it was a simple app. My mistake.

You may want to view the Calcbot demo here: http://tapbots.com/software/calcbot/#overview It's nothing revolutionary, but they did go above and beyond the typical calculator app with their tape history. In other words, I'd agree with yo

I love the lack of points showing when it comes to Apple discussions.

I once saw pg comment that it was the simplest solution that worked. Granted, pg's primary role is not as a web developer, hence his simplest solution is not what mine would be.

Apple does a good job of proving their own point when it comes to their Windows software and cross-platform apps.

HN needs collapsable threads. I toyed with a greasemonkey script that would do this but the somewhat "super pragmatic" layout makes it less than simple.

Holy crap, thank you. Screencasts are great and all but I'll take text over video almost anytime when it comes to programming tutorials. On a related note, I was recently directed to http://asciicasts.com/ for railscasts in text format..

Interesting, having built Django apps for a few years now I haven't noticed this ravenous Django fanboyism myself, but I'm about to start a full time job working with Rails so maybe I'll catch some flak as I mix my community participation a

You've linked to two comments there, both o which complain of downvotes, both of which are upvoted. Even so, those are just people who agree with you, that doesn't do anything to strengthen your argument. Are you sure people aren't just ov

I think Fake Steve Jobs coined the term... and it doesn't sound any worse than "fanboy" to me.

> There's no direct way to do this (...) Ah, but you can access anything in iPhoto in the "open file" dialog that opens up when you go to attach a file in gmail. It's in the left sidebar under "media", from there you can get to anyth

by tvon 16y ago
So, "drag and drop" out of iPhoto isn't what you want, and you don't want to just use the "open file" dialog from another OSX app (since that lets you access all parts of the iPhoto library), and then you don't like how you have to click do

Are you sure iPhoto still has a 'reveal in finder' option? I"m not seeing it... Though I don't know why you'd need it with iPhoto since you can just DnD photos out to the desktop (or wherever) if you want to work on them.

> Not only can I not find files when Finder doesn't use folders (...) Huh? Do you mean things like iPhoto that bundle photos?

I remember the tweet, I just wasn't sure what point you were making by quoting it. But this does say that by Andy Rubin's own definition of "open", Honeycomb is not "open". Unless there is some big part of this discussion/argument I'm miss

by tvon 16y ago
So Honeycomb is not "open" because you can't download it, I guess you're saying? It would help if your comment was more than just a quoted tweet.

I'd think that would strengthen the point. That said, I'm sure you could argue over who gets to claim WebKit as their own these days since I've seen a few people refer to it as "Google's WebKit" since they surpassed Apple in checkins at som

Well, that's easy to say now that people are competing on price, but apparently nobody has been able to until now, or if they could they inexplicably weren't. edit: Point being, maybe I'm just being pedantic, but it seems like they were

Wordpress initially gave their latest release the code name Django (they always use jazz musicians as a theme), but quickly changed it to Reinhardt after a few polite complaints.

Well, the internet treats "things people don't want" as damage and routes around it, censorship is just one of those things people don't want.

It's not my main browser but I don't seem to have issues with Chrome on OSX, I'd suggest maybe purging your install (or at least it seems you're experiencing something unusual).
