I recommend getting rid of App.net. Nice idea, but just way too much of a nerd fishbowl, I say. I have noticed that my day-to-day happiness is in part inversely correlated with how many social media I'm using. I still…
I think it would be great if app.net succeeds, but personally I had to stop using it. Just too many of "Nick Burns, your company's computer guy" for me.
Exactly right, very well said. Once you're in the travel system just stop acting like you have freedom & autonomy. This is never what bothers me the most about travel, though. To me the worst thing is ALWAYS fellow…
Because "post hoc, ergo propter hoc." Apple shits on Windows every chance they get, and now they're gonna hire the guy who was in charge of it? Come on.
Should we watch TV?
What if I see someone using the word and include their tweet in mine, to tell them what a racist idiot they are? Then my tweet would be counted racist simply because it contains the word. This is not a thought exercise,…
Agreed. But we do use it.
Hear folks 'round these parts tell it, Apple deserves anything and everything they get.
When I was 29, I knew someone who was really freaking out about being close to turning 30. To be honest, I wasn't thrilled about it either, but I was a lot more accepting of it. I thought about why, and my theory is…
Admittedly I am not exactly humanity's greatest advocate, but I wouldn't talk to strangers anyway -- I would read. Changing the medium from paper to a screen doesn't really affect that.
I saw the same thing once and it was quite a revelation for me. I experienced it positively, in the sense that I now see people's "crazy" party pictures in a different way. It made me focus on what those nights were…
Then don't work there? I can understand this person's complaints about Google, but it seems they did the right thing in leaving, so... yeah. Not much to see here.
Curiously, the author never gets around to the "why" in the title. Just another restating of the events that unfolded to get things to the state they're in today.
Boy, that Apple, they sure are evil. rustles newspaper What other reason could there be for running this story?
Indeed, it would be crazy to sell a mobile device that can't play video. But what you quoted doesn't say that -- it says that Windows Media Player does not run in the "desktop mode" of this device.
I was OK with the maps thing on my iPad, because I don't take it with me much. A little inaccuracy is fine in that case, but not with my phone. So I haven't upgraded my phone, and don't know when I will.
Because laziness (intellectual, and otherwise). And because Apple Is Evil is the narrative.
From what I remember, the main knock against the book is that it teaches you to be phony to others in order to get what you want. But for me, it was invaluable as well. I was such a dick in my professional life before I…
Wait, why are you talking about C?
Only a programmer could have written this article. Fine, use two spaces, we only see one anyway. Sheesh.
The source control thing makes sense to me (you'll get nicer diffs), but otherwise I don't understand the benefits listed here.
I'm more of a fan of Marco-the-Instapaper-developer than Marco-the-fledgling-pundit, but I really want to read that Alex Payne article. Hmmm.
"Unfortunately, 100% testing is only effective if you can detect 100% of the errors generated." Wow, the word "only" is doing a lot of work in that sentence. Because these tests don't find literally every single…
I don't really have a problem with them collecting on their debts, but what bothers me about this is that if the situation had turned violent or otherwise required diplomacy, the US gov't would have been responsible for…
It's better than nothing, but please take their users' explanations of lyrics with a huge grain of salt. Many of them are written by people who do not really know anything about rap music.
