ignorance doesn't make your assumptions less classist. similarly, no matter how ignorant you are of their meaning, racial slurs are still racist. if you're perpetuating a prejudice…

These are just the GPL releases, but they contain bits of code from EA if you start digging. IIRC the EAWebKit release contains a big chunk of EASTL. EASTL is EA's implementation o…

Judging by both the source code and its placement in the repository (gen/FreeBSD/wordexp.c), I'm thinking it's a derivative of the FreeBSD implementation (which may itself be a der…

Source to wordexp-helper here: http://opensource.apple.com/source/system_cmds/system_cmds-6... Also the source to the Yosemite implementation is available at: http://opensource.app…

I'm guessing that the linked implementation probably hadn't been touched since 2008. My comment that this was source code from 2011 was referring to the fact that this release of l…

This is source code from 2011. Checking http://opensource.apple.com will show that it's not longer implemented this way in 10.10. Here's the current implementation: http://opensour…

The arrow keys are accessible with the function key. It seems awkward at first, but after a day of use it becomes very natural. If it's what you really want, the HHKB Lite 2 is act…

The HHKB is very much still in production (mine just arrived last week), though it can be hard to get one in the US. I ordered mine from http://elitekeyboards.com . My HHKB is repl…

I agree. The author misses the fact that writing a native app for the iPhone (usually) means taking advantage of the well-designed UIKit. If developers all had to develop their own…

These points all individually look like good advance, but I can't stress #8 enough. GET. A. JOB. I'm a full-time college student attending a relatively cheap state school. I work n…

I don't really see anything in the article that I would call "gaming" the higher-education system. Maybe you could argue that the concept of going to a cheaper school for undergrad…
