People shouldn't be trying to contribute to open source—you use something, you need to extend it, so you submit your patches upstream. Nothing more.

We all knew this already. Most of the content in The Atlantic is inane.

I hate how the British use single quotes. It's sometimes ambiguous and relatively hard to parse.

The OP wasn't asking for a loveletter—he just wants always to receive a confirmation of the "no" answers after they have been made. It's not much to ask.

While I think the government policy is questionable, I am also concerned by the willingness of communications companies to respond to requests without warrants.

Children own many iPads and iPod Touch devices. Most of them have cheaper cell phones than iPhones (or no cell phone).

Obie Fernandez has one as well, for $100. He also has a few lectures on the topic on Vimeo.

Presumably the author meant US Treasury marketable securities, but of course The Atlantic doesn't want to intimidate its readers with more than one idea at a time. The Atlantic is a very average and annoyingly centerist publication. Tons of

Semco SA, the Brazilian conglomerate, would probably be a more relevant example of corporate re-engineering.

Look to someone like Aaron Patterson. He studied CS at university but he did not really understand programming. Out of school, he took a job where he wrote bad Perl. After many years of experience and a lot of dedication—he expended much ef

The app evaluation process isn't quite "free, professional-level usability testing for my apps"—it requires an annual membership fee. However, if you get as much useful technical help as this person did, that fee looks like a bargain.

I think Gruber's point is spot-on. A lot of people prefer Android because they want it to be open and open-source, and Android companies market to the public on this specific point. So I don't think it's off-base to point out discrepancies

I don't know. I think more creativity gets crushed after people get out of school and go into jobs.

The people at WWDC used to be cool. The last couple of years they've been drowned out by masses of people trying to cash in on iOS fads. A lot of companies didn't even send their programmers last year—they sent their managers instead. The i

I don't think this is so much about SVN vs Git, I think it's more about bringing MacRuby development to where the center of Ruby development attention is. More people will click around new source commits and become inspired to make their ow

I don't see how SV or innovation will suffer greatly. People who don't have the nice VC connections can bootstrap and make it to profitability. The people who stand to lose are VCs and their accredited investors. Legitimate companies with a

Oh nice point. People don't think of all the various costs. Lots of people die in mining accidents and mining byproducts cause water pollution. NO2 emissions are horrid for human health—I don't have death count numbers at hand.

For me, the real story is the cover-up that occurred when he reported his story years ago. He did the right thing in terms of public safety and got called a liar.
