For stuff I need to be remotely accessible, I use BitBucket and a commercial GitHub Private account. For stuff that can be local only, a series of local git repos. If security is a concern, I trust a provider like GitHub or BitBucket to sec

Interesting ah..perspective. To me, and to most builders, Windows desktops, and OS X / Linux desktops, are far more viable than iOS or Android; not less. Even John Gruber admits that the iOS app store is rotting. https://d

"In preparation to join US wars, Japan dismantles freedom of the press". What US wars? Populist hogswaddle. Such assertions should be backed up if you're going to make them. As for the supposed rise of "nationalism"

Secretly one of the better authoring tools out there, but handicapped by an association with "Windows Live" (worst brand ever) and by an overly Windows-centric architecture. This tool should be rebuilt not under .NET (even with MO

Nice! I had fun with this, especially comparing Ember's half a meg footprint to Backbone's 20K. One helpful data point could be whether the library supports a (formal) custom build apparatus, since you can often get a sizable redu

It would be nice if you wouldn't derail the conversation with another tired old "but it's not as good as gcc when it comes to X". This is a CTP. You split hairs over minor points of standards compliance that many devs wo

This is just outright disingenuous. Both books have ample violence and the Quran specifically commands followers to chop off the body parts of the infidels. I can quote you the verses if you'd like. The Bible has its share of violenc

Atwood was (is) a C# developer, and before that he was a VB.NET developer. These days he also does some Ruby and a bunch of other stuff. His initial MS/.NET focus and more generic usability rants were half the reason I started reading

I don't think they would've chosen C# at all were it not for ASP.NET MVC . It was the MVC, more than anything else, that made lean-and-mean WISA stacks possible. C# with ASP.NET MVC under recent versions of Visual Studio is toole

It was difficult for me to get past the self-referential (and reverential) tone of the writing, which felt more like an advertisement for the author's cleverness than a real discussion of the pros and cons of SSH, but it could be I wok

I've always thought of a lot of DFW's writing as a kind of programming. There's the main narrative thread of whatever he's talking about at a given time-slice, then there are the "worker threads" he spins off f

If that's true then G+ is more of a danger to Google than Facebook ever was. Using the index as a way to strong-arm publishers into using a half-baked Facebook clone may even work, short-term. Long-term this is one way Google can lose Searc

That's a pertinent question. For me the loss here isn't so much the present utility of the API, but where they could've taken the API in the future. This seems like a step away from whatever that would've been.

You can give users a proper RSS/ATOM URL in your domain space and still use Feedburner -- redirect "mysite.com/feed" to your Feedburner URL. People started doing this years ago as a hedge against this exact situation, so that if Feedburner

OS X manages just fine without a formal "Start" button. Who needs Start buttons when you can pin, search from the desktop, or use Launchpad? So goodbye, old Start Button, we've had a good run. You will be remembered.
