Xcode 3 works fine so yeah I agree. We'll point people there.

This is a fair point. It may work that we can support both 3 and 4. But experience suggests that even minor build bumps of Xcode cause issues compiling software. Ultimately it is a…

- We are going to provide binaries for the CC toolchain. - We can't wait for Lion, nor expect everyone to use Lion. - The wiki page even says we need the whole toolchain - Headers …

Grab Xcode 4. It's still beta and buggy but it's all one window and is pretty good IMO. There's keyboard shortcuts for spaces. And CMD` to switch between windows in apps. OS X isn'…

This is pretty much the opposite of my opinions. Android documentation is awful. Mostly it isn't there at all. Many times I found that it was in fact wrong. iOS documentation is re…

It's only negative if you want to read it that way.

I'll be sure to give it a thorough testing. Thanks for your work.

His counter argument seems to be that the original blog post didn't offer alternatives or patches and so it is invalid. Which of course is not a counter argument at all. IMO the Ru…

http://github.com/mxcl/homebrew is my project. IMO anyone who is afraid of forking is actually just afraid of losing control. It's much easier now for people to do a better job tha…

I stopped using formulae as the plural as I felt like a twit.

/usr/local makes it far easier to install stuff like Gems with C extensions. It is a standard path checked by the C build system (eg. gcc). There no good reason I have yet heard wh…

It's worth pointing out that "sudo is up to you". So leave /usr/local alone if you like. Or install Homebrew to ~/homebrew. Whatever you choose. Homebrew was designed to be flexibl…

It's not that I hate sudo. But I encourage people not to use it because: 1. You're adding to OS X. It's very important that stuff that gets built definitely didn't touch any files …

Playgrub and Playdar have the potential to bring music to all sorts of sites that currently only talk about it or offer it in somewhat tedious ways. Much recommended!

Ten months ago RJ wanted to write Playdar in Erlang but was worried about the portability of packaging and distributing the Erlang VM. As it stands this is still an untested area f…

In my experience not hard as long as you wrote portable code. The hardest bit is compiling a universal binary.

Personally there were two reasons: 1) I don't want bandwidth costs 2) It's much harder to get contribution for a binary system (I expect). If you're installing foo and it doesn't w…

Heh, it's handy I didn't know about this, or I might never have started Homebrew. Still at this point our ambitions are quite vast, so I expect Homebrew will prove more useful in t…

Hi I wrote Homebrew, and this is one of my goals, I've always wanted installing from source on Linux to get package management too. I do a lot of cross platform dev, and would also…

God, are all documentaries in America like that? Like obviously biased? And scare-mongering? I couldn't watch more than a few minutes as it made me feel sick.

Yes well said, I reconsider my stance. Apple's store is full of crap, and Blackberry's won't be. Apple want to control their platform completely, but frankly, like you say, they do…

Ahh, this is a good point I hadn't considered.

Honestly, from experience I know they hardly reject any apps. There's some serious publicity surrounding a few keys app rejections here and there (hell ours was rejected once, Last…

I think it'll kill the market. You need that experimentation zone. We just released our app on there. But I'd never release any hobby projects to their store. It's not just the pri…

BeyerDynamic 770 Pros: http://bit.ly/zbEBB You can wear them all day and barely notice. Great bass. You can turn them way up and there is almost no leakage.
