Seriously? Your life would be easier if you simply learned to use git properly.

The conclusion of the article isn't anything new -- progressives have been saying this since at least 2004. (Read the article itself, please. It's not actually about the question in the title.)

It wasn't paranoid in crypto-knowledgable circles. It earned you a tinfoil hat outside of them. That's why Snowden was important.

This is precisely what conservatives say about Fox News. Is the editorial firewall more effective at WSJ than at other News Corp properties? If not, you're being duped.

In general, OS X infrastructure looks more like Linux than Windows. If the overall complaint is that it's not built into the OS, well, welcome to UNIX, island of isolated, uncooperative, and sometimes broken toys. I like UNIX, don'

His political appointee runs the DOJ. He can't close Guantanamo unilaterally, but he could have done a lot better on civil liberties.

Obama made clear as early as the 2008 primaries that he wasn't going to be very good on civil liberties. (But he didn't have to be this bad.) What valid concerns did Republicans have during the past eight years? Do tell. I've

Seems like a flaw in POSIX -- there should be a bit in statfs (?) for something like this.

I think this is viewing the past with rose-tinted glasses. I recall the same exact complaints being leveled at the 1980's tech generation.

Google's advertising revenue-via-search-monopoly gives them a lot of cushion. No matter how poorly (or well) managed they are, problems won't be visible unless the search advertising market starts to dry up, because no one will qu

git -f on a shared branch is a surefire way to lose commits. OMFG. It's better not to allow it at all. git revert will undo damage adequately, just not cleanly.

C&G was primarily a publisher. SoundJam MP was written by other developers who later sold it to Apple. It became iTunes.

Pretty sure they know. It's not exaggerating (much) to say that CodeWarrior is the primary reason Mac developers stayed with the platform during the 68K to PowerPC transition. The pre-2.0 CodeWarrior IDE was the simplest and fastest wa

CyberDog was actually compelling for end users, unlike most OpenDoc components. Best Mac web browser UI until Safari, and best mail client for a long time. Became obsolete due to the progression of web standards very quickly, though.

Perforce is expensive garbage designed by mainframe programmers. The command line tool had the worst UI of any VCS I've ever used.

No, you can still have memory leaks with ARC. In practice, the GC Apple was using prior to ARC could collect cycles, but it consumed a nontrivial number of CPU cycles compared to ARC. Apple's tools people seem to be unconvinced that GC

It shouldn't surprise any student of the original Mac system software. In retrospect, QuickDraw had some limitations, but it was a pretty clean piece of work overall. But the Mac toolbox application architecture had fundamental issues

True dat. MkLinux was someone's pet project, much like Apple Dylan. It was never internally considered a contender for the future of Mac OS.
