I wish the article had a bit more meat to it. Not that this is a sin but he's just parroting things said in about 1000 other places by 1000 other people. Pen and paper good. Check. Daily journal. Check.

I think the author has jumped to a foregone conclusion. He thinks it's all about getting releases before they're made public, and doesn't see any reasons other than that people might have for going with pirated entertainment. The reasons a

This has always been Dave's problem. He's a Big Idea Guy, but his implementations often end up being somewhat less than fully thought through. I say this as someone who has been following him for way more years than I like to think about

Wow, the author of this article should be the poster child for wh Google's 2 factor should be de rigeur for anyone who actually cares about the contents of their email.

I disagree with the author on a number of levels. First and foremost, he/she's treating the editor as if its sole purpose in life is the invention of new code. This seems like a somewhat stilted view of reality to me. Features like synta

100% agreed. alttab is falling into the common geek social trap of assuming that all the world is exactly like him/her. Personally? I couldn't care less about start-ups. I'm happy that they exist, I appreciate the innovations they create

This article REALLY makes me wish I could turn on my Mac laptops built in camera and microphone.

I like the article as I am also a command line junkie, but I have an issue with it. I might be being pedantic here, but the fundamental premise of the article is a falsehood. UNIX is in no way, shape or form an IDE. IDE stands for Integra

This does look neat. Now, if only they'd release a bundle that includes extra free time I can use to play the games in said bundle :)

The real issue here, as I see it, is that Apple needs to be 100% consistent about its app store approval process, and exceedingly clear when they yank an already approved app. Why are they yanking it? In a case like this, the reason seems p

Have you seen the Xbox 360 Slim? Its fan is nearly silent. MUCH better than the original. Also, the power supply is much quieter as well.

One fatal flaw with geeks is that we all think that the rest of the world thinks just like we do. 'tain't necessarily so. Most of the objections he raises in the article (e.g. Facebook making improper use of personal information) don't eve

I don't think these results correlate at all to the popularity of a given programming language in use in the field. For instance, pretty much ever since the language's ascendance to popularity, a visit to the bookstore will yield a verita

I didn't draw the same conclusions that others seem to be drawing from this article. Having been in the tech industry for over 20 years now, I can tell you that a company's CEO having a firm grasp on the business side is nothing but win. T

I think you're missing Xion's point and taking the opportunity to complain about a pet peeve you have with the platform. Personally, I couldn't agree more with what he's saying. Users of other platforms (like Android) have had the ability

This is a nice little cheat sheet. I sometimes wonder if the profusion of cheat sheets for Git says something about its design, in particular the human interface aspects. Few would deny that Git is one of the most powerful open source SCM

It's all about the apps, stupid. While I applaud the EUbuntu project's goals and think they're very worthy indeed, I also think they're deluding themselves if they are targeting the Apple iPad as competition. I realize that's likely to be

This is by far the best entry in the "learn/don't learn to program" series!

I couldn't agree more. If nothing else, learning to code is an incredibly useful thought experiment for anyone who enjoys using their brain in new and interesting ways. So what if you never make a cent? How many of us started coding simpl

Interesting thread. I too am truly sad to see this go, while everyone is suggesting stand alone players, I personally loved that Perian actually extended the native tools to support all these other formats.

A co-worker of mine postulates that most of this is client side Javascript, I'd be awfully curious to see how much of it is client side and how much is node.js and the like.

I'm really surprised at the huge lead Javascript has. I'd have thought Python and/or Ruby would be king, with PHP and maybe Java following up.

I said this in a reply, but lest it get lost in the shuffle, here goes. I have a tremendous amount of respect for mjd. His seminal articles on Perl, particularly "Suffering with Buffering" and "Coping with Scoping" saved my bacon more

SQUEE I've been watching the TED Talks that are available via YouTube on my Xbox 360 lately. I could watch them all day long :)

I'm a release engineer, and I couldn't agree more with the sentiment of this post. I have immense respect for mjd's work (His articles on Perl saved my bacon more than once - _Suffering with Buffering_ and _Coping with Scoping_ in partic
