"Arbitrary date". Deadlines are still important.


That codinghorror.com article is great and is a must read for any developers on the fence about attaching a license to their open source projects. I have to admit I was feeling both awkward and douchey debating whether I should attach a license to a few miscellaneous projects that no one may ever even see.

"That's ironic, considering the whole reason I posted the code in the first place was so other developers could benefit from that code. I could have easily avoided this unfortunate situation if I had done the right thing and included a software license with my code."

Also, a nice summary of various licenses. Thanks


Thanks for linking this. I just sent it to a few Project Managers friends. Along with: "I find myself reading this while waiting for a build to QA. This is the time I have to write code. When the meetings are done. Meetings are important, but this is worthy of a read if you can schedule it in. Also, I'd be happy to discuss this over coffee."


The article is ok, the video is a must watch. She's witty.


I really enjoyed this, looking forward to more.


Much respect to the software engineers who "Decline to participate".

"The disclosure session had yielded more than a dozen potential patents when an engineer, an Apple veteran, spoke up. “I would like to decline to participate,” ... The engineer explained that he didn’t believe companies should be allowed to own basic software concepts."


Yea, the people who actually build this stuff should have a greater say in whether it should be patented or not I think.


"GOOGLE (466453) is in use." I wonder how many squatters are already holding these hostage. PS, I wouldn't have gone through with it.


Apparently Mashable even used techcrunch's screenshot..


Love the idea. Congrats on launching.

I've tried a number of apps to manage OSX's clunky alt+tab, but none have worked out long term.

The only thing that keeps me from trying Foreman is the "closing" of other apps. Like many other users here, just because I want apps out of the way, doesn't mean I want them closed. Is there no way to filter them from the task list instead?

You do make it clear on the site that Foreman closes apps, but I did come back to HN to confirm via the comments.


Thank you :)

As far as I know, any app that's active on the dock will show up in the task list. You might want to try out Witch - I'm not 100% sure that it does what you want, but it might. Good luck!


Disney surpasses skynet's wildest ambitions. Invents more realistic facial expressions than Schwarzenegger.


The facial expressions did look eerily like Stalone's, yes.
