Anybody else thinks that the 'Adams' character is the typical bipolar ?
it's not just the caliber of the ammo, it's also the velocity. I'm certainly not an expert, but I did my military service in a base used for tank training. Back then, it was already a done deal : no armor could resist…
but it's still below the levels of 1970.
He was not a hacker and that's precisely why he could lead the creation of great end-user products. He certainly did know a whole lot about programming : check his WWDC 97 address, in particular this sequence at 22' :…
I switched to OS X in 2008. Prior to that, I had been using Linux since 1995, and contributed quite a lot to Free Software (Gnome, gtkmm, KDE, Rosegarden). May be I saw one too many Apple add on a billboard. Or may be…
Tk ? Seriously ? > at least 80% of my development I can do on my Linux machine. That's the whole problem right there. The remaining 20% are all the desktop-integration features and UI polish that is not…
The fundamental flaw in CatB is that it was essentially an adaptation of ESR's libertarian creed, that Free Market is infallible and would always boil down to the best optimal solution. While that may work on the scale…
I know Objective C, C++, Java and have basic knowledge of C#. Of all these I'd rate Objective C as the easiest to learn and to handle. It's much more forgiving and easy on the programmer, and the syntax is trivial. You…

Even if you're replacing the software, having the source allows you to ensure that your replacement is fully backwards compatible with the original Same answer : True in theory, very rarely practical in reality. The…

Wow, very cool to see a post from you top-ranking here :-) Hope to see you at the next Open Coffee Sophia :-).
Code completion in XCode 4.2 using llvm/clang has improved a whole lot. I'd say it's on par with Eclipse now.
