"Bolts Framework" is rather different from, and clearly not competing with, "Bolt."

I wouldn't be surprised if Apple someday has a Windows (or whatever) version of Xcode. That is, in a kind of parallel to the OP's essay, Xcode as we know it isn't necessarily "Mac-only" but simply built for Mac firs

But what if it's an awesome shiny new hammer based on the latest impulse-delivery fads? Plus, screwdrivers are boring.

It's bad enough having a nearly--but not actually--unique name and frequently getting confused for the other one.

Comcast also did this to me. Not one of the several tech support people I talked with seemed to be aware of Comcast's non-hijacking DNS servers at 75.75.75.75 and 75.75.76.76.

Pretty sensible advice for dealing with long hours over an extended period, but I was confused by the use of the term "death march" which in terms of software development is known as an anti-pattern: http://en.wikipedia

Seconded. I also prefer "I Heard Her Call My Name" to "Sister Ray" from the next album.

"Fact" because I can't tell if it's true. (I'll confess I have great doubt.) "Preposterous" because it doesn't seem possible a web site would cost that much. Relevant to HN because it's about a w

This seems preposterous. I'm mainly interested in how this "fact" became a talking point, and how far and fast it spreads.

I bet I'm not the only one who sometimes puts headphones on with no music, solely to broadcast that don't-bother-me signal.

Historical note about the logo illustration at the top of the essay (which predates the well-known red logo): it was internally referred to as "Uncle Stinky".

Objective-C's tendency to long names (variables, selectors, classes) makes it more "self-documenting" than any language I've worked with. Besides, it's not that bad with autocomplete.

Small typo: Euler defined the function e^x in analysis as: e^x = lim(1+x/n)^n as x tends to infinity Should be "as n tends to infinity".

It's an interesting intellectual exercise to build THE email validation regex, but it's shortsighted to inflict your experiment on the public. While I definitely enjoyed how Friedl's book ( http://regex.info/book.html ) builds over several

Just to clarify why sgpl cited him: he is one of the (if not the absolute) most successful rappers of all time. Definitely top of his field. And married to Beyoncé (who is no slouch herself). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beyoncé_Knowles (

If your app directly accesses the camera with AVFoundation, saving photos is a lot less automatic than you might expect. It's easy to save the raw image data but you have to generate and add just about any interesting metadata (EXIF, GPS, T

This article reminded me of a Flash game I played with several years ago: http://www.redistrictinggame.org/ If you work through the levels, you'll see that voting districts sometimes must have highly irregular shapes to ensure maximum rep

I like that Perl tends to do what you wanted it to do, rather than what you told it to do. Bugs in other languages are often because of vice-versa.

That does seem high, but if you factor in the (non-trivial) installation process, and the fact that you won't be voiding your warranty with a DIY installation, it may be an acceptable tradeoff. Apple is probably counting on your reaching th

It's hard to imagine nowadays, but in the late 1990's, Nokia made cell phones Americans craved. Their blunder in the US market was to think they didn't have to get in bed with specific carriers and make phones exclusive to one or another. A

At least you get a few quiet hours between 6 and 9 to actually get things done. I've noticed much less resentment of people who come in after 10 and leave after 6. Same hours, different perception. Because somehow, no one sees you come in,

If you think of "I could care less" as sarcasm, it makes more sense, i.e., the speaker couldn't really care less. (If I recall, this was the typical usage when I first started hearing this phrase decades ago.)

In their desire to shed themselves of Google, Apple has opened a window of opportunity for 3rd parties to enhance their own maps' utility. History suggests, however, that this window will be small, and I expect in the long term, the best be

Do you mean "anarchy" in the sense of "chaos" or "absence of government"?
