Regardless, the result is that someone is refused their freedom of expression or forced to go out of business. You may be OK with that in this case, but let's call a spade a spade.

This attitude is certainly part of the reason that gay marriage has faced such opposition. Banning the expression of one group of people for the sake of advocating the freedom of expression of another[1] is not a winning argument.

[1] Not that marriage is only an act of expression.

I wish that I could switch back to a "dumbphone", but as a web and mobile developer, it would be infinitely harder to effectively make tools targeting the smartphone audience if I were not a part of it. So while I hate the productivity loss, I think the insight gain offsets it.
I really enjoyed this article, thanks.

As you point out, we're all guilty of being on both sides of this. Just recently I took ownership of a project for a couple of months while it was transitioned between companies. I found myself in the curious position of being aware of being the scapegoat. It made me really aware of defending the previous team as I knew full well there would be code I'd written that would get bad mouthed if that culture was created. It was suitably humbling.
Heh, it's okay. I'll read it when I'm not browsing on a potato! :)

That's because I didn't see the other thread at all. I just found out about his new role in this one.

Ah, okay. I kind of jumped to conclusions there, mostly based on the content of the replies I've been getting and the fact that my post was at the top of the thread there for a while.

Also, I'm aware that due to the language/culture barrier my comments are sometimes perceived to be more abrasive than intended...

Indeed, I feel like I'm one of the few people that uses my phone almost entirely as a tool. I don't use any social network for entertainment (only for messaging), and though I do use it browse the web, my use there is largely negligible.

However, I do get a HUGE amount of use out of my phone as a tool. I handle email, keep notes, use the camera for notes, manage files using Dropbox, and listen to music/podcasts (which help me be productive). I don't feel like phones are a bad thing.
We used a WordPress installation with a $8 theme. That made it look pretty decent while I could focus on building the app.

Since then we haven't found a reason to move away from WordPress. It's been fairly easy finding affordable WordPress developers whenever we want to do a big redesign. And allows us to focus on our actual product instead of wasting time building a hacked-together CMS.

The problem that I've found when I was trying to port my installer to FreeBSD was their make doesn't like GNU Makefiles. Not sure when they diverged from one another so having Make everywhere, doesn't necessary mean your Makefile will work everywhere.

I liked how security centric FreeBSD was but they seem to be anti-enterprise friendly. The process to install Oracle Java was painful and EnterpriseDB didn't even bother creating a Postgres installer for it. Maybe the freedom that the BSD license offers, is making their environment too stagnant when compared to GNU and Linux.

I was an 18 year old grunt, fresh out of basic training, when I went to Iraq in 1991.

After about 48 hours of living on tarmac at the airport (where I experienced the first of many MOPP-4 chemical warnings: let me tell you how fun it is to have a gas mask, charcoal suit and rubber accoutrements while laying on tarmac, psychosomatically creating the nerve agent symptoms they just taught us), I moved to the a high-rise apartment complex.

I was in a North-facing room, on the northernmost edge of the complex. Open desert as far as the eye can see to the North. I watched scuds get shot down (seems like every night, but memories are wont to be inaccurate).

Here's the thing: I hear all this talk about the Patriot missle being inaccurate, and I seem to remember something like "no patriot ever shot down a scud". That takes some serious parsing to arrive at-- because I saw patriots "hit" scuds, but of course they could have "exploded in the vicinity of" scuds, destroying them.

From what I hear, the Patriots were running on 100-mile-an-hour tape (you did know that the military has its own version of duct tape, right?!) and bubble gum, but I'm thankful for them nonetheless; you tend to take what defense you can when folks shoot at you.

Except the "proponents" in this case did not include the people who put forward this referendum in the first place. Instead, the referendum bypassed the California government to put the issue to a popular vote. When the popular vote was challenged in court, the government lawyers had no incentive to put up a good defense, which they didn't.

It's really a loophole in the referendum system, and if California is serious about the referendum, they need to give standing to some groups to give them the right to defend their initiatives in court.

This is really great. When first learning web design I would look up CSS selectors one at a time depending on what I needed at that moment. I assume this is how most people do it because all the tutorials out there are so damn boring, and by the time you learn the fifth selector you've forgotten the first. But even now, as someone who's proficient in CSS I enjoyed completing a large chunk of this "tutorial". If I didn't already have a whole lineup of side projects I'm working on I'd try making this mobile friendly and packing it into an app. If there were more levels that got very difficult at the end it would be a fun way for people learning web design (a growing trend) to spend their time while commuting.

I didn't express any opinion or reasoning at all about whether or not we should discuss his other views.

What I'm saying is that, if you talk to them, a surprising number of these people actually are essentially separate-legal-and-religious-marriage proponents. It's not that they want to deprive gay people of anything — they just have a religious act called "marriage" that is between a man and a woman and they feel like somebody is trying to take that away from them. They are fine with a secular institution that is open to gays and is identical to the legal concept of marriage as it exists today — they just don't want it getting mixed up with a religious institution that is very dear to them.

(I'm not saying that everyone who supported Prop. 8 is this way either. Some of them really are hateful folk — but not all of them. What I'm saying is just that if you think everyone who supported Prop. 8 did so because they are spiteful toward gays, you are painting with way too broad a brush. It's a diverse bunch.)

As with many other utilities, you can always run "gmake" for GNU make. If you can get what you need to do done with portable make, by all means do so, but if you need to depend on GNU make, it's widely available.

There's a continuum here between "stay compatible with existing code" and "do things in a new and interesting way". Docker stays firmly on the compatibility end, and obviously for people wanting to use software that exists, that's a great thing. Sandstorm tries to strike a balance by making it relatively easy to port existing apps, but also trying to do things pretty differently, scaling things so that every document gets its own independent container and the only way to talk to the rest of the world is through capability-based Cap'n Proto RPC. It will take longer to populate the ecosystem, but apps will be able to do different kinds of things.

Sandstorm does use the same underlying kernel features as Docker, so any advances there should benefit both. Above that, I'm not actually sure if trying to share userspace tools would benefit either project, given the very different design decisions. It might just become a tug-of-war, like Chrome and Safari sharing Webkit while going in different directions with their sandboxing model.
I'm in the same boat. Though, I've held off on personally using a smartphone, and probably to my own detriment like you suggest. I keep tablets and smartphones around my desk but never in my pocket.

Having spent a lot of time doing Xbox emulation, the biggest issue is simple: statically linked XDKs meant that doing high-level emulation was next to impossible. You had to find signatures for every XDK, which isn't viable considering that most of them weren't publicly released.

Woah. Put those pink glasses away. Firefox took YEARS to become anything else than a toy browser in the eyes of even developers.

Firefox was released in 2002 (and let's not even count before it was actually "Firefox" and not the Mozilla browser). In 2005, IE still had almost 90% market share. In 2007, it still had almost 70% market share.

Chrome was the game changer, not Firefox. Firefox managed to stay around and slowly grind its way to 20ish % not because it was an exceptional browser, but because the alternatives were awful.

As far as the clone itself uses CSS transforms (if it's Cordova/Phonegap based), it should be fine and usable on mobile. You can recognize the clones using Cordova/Phonegap/Webview if they use the exact same style as G.Cirulli's 2048. Now, to recognize the clones using CSS transforms, that's more complicated. Check for their last release date, it should be strictly after 2014-03-13 (as CSS transforms were added to 2048's repo that day https://github.com/gabrielecirulli/2048/commit/7c6fd1b2a4acb...), and from there, test the apps.

I rewrote the whole game's code as an exercice soon after it was released, and took special care in using CSS transforms and not creating/forgetting javascript objects constantly (I wish I knew if that last point made a difference in performance on mobile, but I wouln't know how to measure it). I also added a tutorial screen and an animation for a forbidden move.

That's why I can personally recommend my ad-free clone ('shameless plug' and all that), that you can find here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.erwan.game... or by searching "2+2=2048" in the play store/windows phone store.

"put down 20% on a million dollar house" - maybe, or maybe not. Your bank might still look at it as a gift, and you still run into issues.

For example, Mike Davidson (founder of Newsvine) describes in a blog about building a $1.1M home after he sold to MSNBC (http://www.ahousebythepark.com/journal/archive/category/fina...):

"My credit is great and I have a strong cash position, but even so, getting a jumbo loan is seemingly 10x more difficult than it has historically been."

"Then, a whole two months into the process, they wanted me to go to my HR department and provide written compensation guarantees using language my HR department was not comfortable with (and neither was I, to be frank)."

"All this for someone who has perfect credit, a comfortable salary, plenty of equity in his property, and the ability to pay off the entire house tomorrow if necessary."
Sounds similar to http://www.locationally.com/
So, I have also played both of these games, and am now at the point where I can beat 2048 with reasonable probability.

This slide/move difference actually has massive effects on gameplay as it means there are situations you can get into while playing 2048 that are difficult or even impossible to recover from that you can easily extricate yourself from while playing Threes. To make up for this, the way you have to match 1s and 2s together (as opposed to simply matching the values, as you can in 2048) makes organizing the lowest level of the board slightly more complicated.

I frankly bet if we asked the developer of Threes about the 1st and 2st thing he'd say he toyed with the idea of a game where the matching was more direct (as its pretty obvious consider it) and realized that it felt "too easy": the only thing making 2048 continue to be difficult is the lack of explicit control over the tiles; though, that also makes it easier, as you can move items much more quickly around the board without more clutter appearing.

I would say this is similar to how in Tetris Attack you can horizontally swap any two tiles, but in Bejeweled you can swap tiles vertically or horizontally, but only temporarily: they have effectively the same mechanic (you need to match tiles of similar color), the same overall physics (items drop to fill in gaps), the same kinds of tactics, but the amount of control you have over the game board and what moves you have are quite different in feel due to the seemingly minor control changes.

(FWIW, I find Tetris Attack and 2048 "fun", and I find Bejeweled and Threes "infuriating". This is likely somewhat to do with the fact that I find Tetris Attack and 2048 "easier" than Bejeweled and Threes, but I would hope that it is more to do with some of the things I really enjoyed about Tetris Attack--the speed of movement, the building of structure, and the intricacy of "skill chains"--not being tactically relevant in Bejeweled, and in the case of Threes that the 1s and 2s are randomized in such a way where I often feel "this game isn't even winnable: I have a board full of 1s... this isn't even fair", which is a situation fundamentally impossible in 2048.)
Incorrect. The state declined to defend, so the proposition proponents were the ones who defended it in court: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hollingsworth_v._Perry#Defendan...

No. The point of the down payment is to reduce the loan-to-value ratio which, in turn, reduces the risk taken by the bank (as the property value would have to fall by more than the amount of the down payment before the loan collateral is worth less than the loan).

This risk reduction is why the bank will give you a loan at y% rather than 1.5y%. This reduces your monthly payments to an amount you can afford each month from your salary.
