Comment on NetBeans Love & Hate by Steve

Steve — Thu, 22 Dec 2011 13:26:00 +0000

I switched to PhpStorm (on OSX and Windows) not long after this post and its SFTP support (and everything else) has been top notch. When I accidentally start to upload a file that a coworker has changed I get a 3-pane merge window so I can carefully make sure our changes will work together. If I change the local cache outside the editor I just have to tab back to it and it will auto-upload the changes.

The completely unusable FTP features of netbeans has me considering finally forking out cash for an awesome cross-platform IDE. I’m genuinely considering forking out for Komodo.

Filezilla is great, but it’s frustrating when you have to resort to it as your “IDE”.

I am appreciative of your support for this cause. I think we will see an eventual shift in the absurd untruths concerning cannabis in the near future as more states take up initiatives to decriminalize marijuana.

Comment on IE6/7 CSS Specificity Bug by Gérard Talbot

I also examined the testcases in latest RC6 of CSS 2.1 test suite, section 6.4.1 and there is no testcase testing the “sort by order specified: if two declarations have the same weight, origin and specificity, the latter specified wins” code situation. So, this testcase should be submitted.

A testcase has been submitted to the CSS 2.1 test suite and has been approved: CSS 2.1 test suite, nightly snapshot, section 6.4.1 has this testcase : CSS Test: Casdading order - sort by order specified regards, Gérard Talbot

Comment on A Case Against Google+ by Dana John Hill

Dana John Hill — Sun, 17 Jul 2011 16:41:56 +0000

I honestly don’t know what Google+ really is, but reading your post leaves me sharing some of your concerns. I am not so much worried about work productivity, because, let’s face it, the internet itself has already ruined that for a lot of people. But I don’t like the idea of maintaining two social network profiles. That MySpace/Facebook trasition period was annoying. I haven’t deleted my MySpace account, but I never look at it. The idea of having a Facebook and Google+ account to look after seems like a lot of work.

I understand that Google wants in on the huge potential ad revenue that a social networking site can generate. And I understand that “Google+” might seem a little more professional to some business types than Facebook does. And I understand Google+ might tie in some of Google’s other unique and indespensable features, like docs and groups and whatnot. But I don’t like the idea of another mass exodus.

And I see the potential for that. That is, Friendster quickly gave way to MySpace, and MySpace somewhat quickly gave way to Facebook. If Facebook gets abandonned for Google+, I think it points to danger for any social networking site, because it indicates that people are capricious.
