If you haven’t tried git, you should. Git is a “distributed version control” system, that is, similar to Subversion with the big difference that… you do not need a server. There are only clients, any of them, and you can pull and push changes to and from other repositories from your project colleagues. The git [...]

Anarquismo Triunfante: Software Libre y la Muerte del Copyright, por Eben Moglen (1999), profesor de ley e historia legal de la Universidad de Columbia, USA:
Oscar Wilde dijo alguna vez que el problema con el socialismo es que ocupa demasiadas noches. Los problemas del anarquismo como un sistema social estan tambien relacionados con los costos de [...]

Mussolini had the black shirts, Hitler had the Gestapo, Bush has Blackwater. They have started operating on USA, and have reportedly killed people in New Orleans during “routine” post-Katrina “security controls” (the Blackwater Wikipedia article is particularly hypocrite in the description of the facts).
Please, watch this movie. It’s an interview of Naomi Wolf, about her [...]

tremendo analisis:
para ilustrar el continuo infringir cotidiano del estadounidense promedio, tomemos por ejemplo el diario trajin de un hipotetico profesor de leyes llamado john. para los propositos de este “gedankenexperiment” (nota: experimento del pensamiento), asumimos el peor escenario, el de una aplicacion completa de los “derechos” de los poseedores de copyright, y el de un [...]

Facebook et son API sont devenus incontournables aujourd’hui, et ce, encore plus depuis l’annonce d’OpenSocial. Et pourtant, en tant que développeur, j’ai de la peine à voir dans ces sites les “plate-formes” dont la blogosphère n’en finit plus de parler. Et je ne suis pas le seul; dans [...]

Just a small post, pointing to the one and only solution to a known bug, that (incredibly) shipped with the public release of the PowerPC version of the latest Ubuntu distribution: 7.10 or “Gutsy Gibbon”. When installing that OS on a PowerPC G3 iBook (like mine), during the boot sequence the computer “freezes” (that is, [...]

Pour regarder des screencasts ou écouter des podcasts, on peut s’abonner à un (ou des) flux RSS, être notifié des nouvelles vidéos ou fichiers audio, et ensuite les télécharger manuellement pour les regarder ou écouter. Mais toutes ces opérations sont de trop avec Miro - un outil indispensable dans [...]

JUCE is a gorgeous thing:
JUCE (Jules’ Utility Class Extensions) is an all-encompassing C++ class library for developing cross-platform applications.
It’s particularly good for creating highly-specialised user interfaces and for handling graphics and sound.
For Mac OS X (with the Developer Tools installed) and Windows (using Visual Studio 6, 2003 or 2005), the library builds out-of the box [...]

So true, as always:

If you have to delete a folder which contains locked files, the Mac OS X Finder won’t let you (because the “locked” flag is used precisely for that!). If you want to remove such folder (typically folders coming from a Subversion checkout have this problem) run these commands:

sudo chflags -R nouchg to_destroy/
sudo rm -r to_destroy/
