this is a false equivalency for two reasons: marijuana is not physically addictive, and THC doesn't have near the same capability to incapacitate people that heroin does.

it shouldn't be hard to understand that being mislead about the actual value of your options is unfair. pointing out that things could have gone worse doesn't change that.

Blackberry supporters keep claiming that there are innovations here. I'll echo what another poster asked: what innovations? It doesn't help their cause when articles like this one claim:
Some of BlackBerry 10’s ideas are truly ingenious. A subtle light blinks above the screen to indicate that something — a text, an e-mail message, voice mail, a Facebook post — is waiting for you
Yep. Just like my 3 year old Nexus One.

please don't try to excuse rude behaviour by ascribing it to a culture that is defined by curiosity and tinkering. being rude has nothing to do with hacking. if you want to be curt and insult people, then you bear the onus for that.

Having spent a year writing AS3 code for Flex, the compiler and the runtime continually struck me as generally ambiguous, and at times contradictory. Most of these were either amusing, or mildly irritating, as an indicator of poor quality and attention to detail, but some were more severe.
Personally, it's an environment that I was very glad to leave behind.

Stack-ranking is all that and worse, according to my mole.
this isn't a conspiracy, it's just a gossip source. that sort of exaggeration makes the article harder to read.

Re:Xcode 4.1 now available free from the Mac App Store

xcode is a tool, and has near the same potential to make you a millionaire that a pencil does.
if you paid $5 for a pencil, to be told a few days later that the same pencil was being offered freely, would wish you had waited for the free pencil?
Re:Things Everyone Should Do: Code Review
on Wednesday July 06, 2011 @04:55PM (#2735851)
this fellow is advocating code reviews before checking in changed code to revision control. i can appreciate the benefits of that -- less churn and junk in the repository, the commit history for most files will be succinct, and each change-set will contain a single change or fix.
but doesn't that bring some logistical challenges? how does the reviewer look at your diffs and code if your changes haven't yet been committed? or do you commit, but you branch for every bug fix, and then merge when the review is completed? is there another clever way to do this that doesn't involve revision control?
