In the form of periodically-interspersed sponsor posts which are explicitly stated as being such and which are never mixed with actual content. As feed monetization goes, its about…

Not quite. Gitlab merge requests are very useful but only act between branches of a single repo, not across repos. Hence "merge" request, not "pull" request.

Seeing as we're splitting hairs... :) In the Ruby version I wouldn't use that selector with any parens. The resulting line would be one character longer than the ObjC version but u…

It pains me to feed the trolls, but just in case someone finds their way to this page in the future and actually tries to wade through all of the bullshit: Apple uses IPS displays …

I intend no ill will with this response, but it is worth pointing out that "the first two" "bigger issues" have nothing to do with your revision control system. Lack of builds is s…

Since no one else responded with this: you're right, it is not an accident that he would be considering 48fps, the reason being that a good amount of 24fps film projection occurs a…

Mono directly benefits their biggest competitor. Mono directly benefits Oracle?

Your point is a very important one that I was surprised to find was not expressed by other commenters. It convinced me of something that was bouncing around my head while reading t…

I honestly doubt that the various Git-knocking commenters on this story have any real experience using Git on Windows. They are likely just parroting what they have heard about the…

My mother suffers from severe (but now under treatment) sleep apnea and believe me when I tell you that if left untreated it could cause you far larger problems than wanting to fee…

Thanks for the details. I will have a think about what other questions I might like to ask you and will try to fire them over to your contact email in the next day or so.

Since the site doesn't describe this in any detail: can you define 'necessity'? In other words, can you tell us anything about how and when your service decides to scale up or down…

Thanks for that bit of info. At the moment things like Passenger are obscured from my view/concern, as I'm not managing the servers myself, but should that change I'll definitely k…

Regarding backup, I definitely understand the feeling.

AFAIK, if you have a Rails app that will be accepting files from users, Rails is probably not the best thing to use. Ruby likewise, short of using something evented (and I say this…

The tool you mentioned forgetting in your original list is almost surely Terminitor: https://github.com/achiu/terminitor

Very nicely summarized. I would like to add one minor note regarding entertainment, just in case anyone considering Vancouver is a concert addict: I find myself driving to Seattle …

You're also right, to a point. :) I suspect that at some point in the past, and perhaps even today for some limited set of careers (though none that would really apply to anyone on…

For some reason I find myself reminded of the whole RIM Playbook "coping with family" faux pas. It is almost as if WP7 were being promoted on the basis of selecting a phone based o…

Agreed. I am happy with Heroku so far (I am pre-launch so the effect hasn't been great), and intend to stick with them for at least a while (I might have most of two decades as a d…

US: Netcraft confirms Microsoft is dying. UK: Netcraft confirm Microsoft are dying.

I figured that either the original situation went over your head or that your post went over mine, so at least now I know which. That and that I should have gotten more sleep last …

Don't kid yourself. You were called into those meetings because, like at many companies, there was a promise of time in return for extra time put in but, like at many companies, th…

And why would you think that a novice on the web with Photoshop _couldn't_ do better than a 'professional' with blah blah blah, especially when this new logo is amateur hour at bes…

Not quite. Japan can and does defend itself just fine against neighbours like North Korea, Russia, and China. The American taxpayer does something different than you state. In actu…
