Ditching caffeine did wonders for me. While I tend to feel a little less "manic" when I'm focused on something, I'm also way more clear headed so I'm certain I'm actually more effective and thus able to reach a much deeper level of concentr

That doesn't make any sense; there isn't a fixed time between releases ala Chrome or OpenBSD. If you bump things back, earlier releases will happen sooner.

It wouldn't ever replace ERB anyway. HAML makes most things easier and terser at the cost of making a few things difficult or impossible. You still need to fall back to ERB occasionally, and it's also used outside of the views. All this mak

You can make notes public, and although you can't do syntax highlighting directly, you can copy already highlighted text into a note.

Oh, I meant bicycle. And it was still attached to the large clump of bricks I had used as a "theft deterrence" when the perplexed officer on duty took me to it. He actually had the cheek to grumble about not being able to interview criminal

I had my bike stolen and nearly didn't report it because usually nothing ever comes of it but I thought what the hell, and sure enough got the usual line about how unlikely it would be that they'd ever recover it. Two days later I got a cal

The whole thing presumably, otherwise he'd have qualified that statement further. How about you try something more constructive. Tell us what you think, and I'm sure bdhe will jump in and elaborate further if they feel the need.

Not that I support this in any way, but I can't quite comprehend the technical ignorance in legal circles that has lead them to distinguish between streaming and downloading in the first place.

I'm no expert really, but in case someone else doesn't jump in I'd have thought Google Adsense would work pretty well with your content. Also maybe Amazon Affiliates links to relevant books etc. I'm sure with that and a little SEO you'd eas

I agree for the most part, and I apologise if I came off over strong in my last post. For what it's worth I have spent a great deal of time in the company of such people. Perhaps it's the case that the majority are simply living in a de

Well I do think you're completely wrong anyway, but actually I hear plenty of people say they watch TV for the news and documentaries, and I hear plenty of anecdotes about guys going to strip clubs or hiring prostitutes because they're lone

Unless you can truly experience reality through their eyes you simply don't know if what they have gained would have been possible without drugs. I, for example, don't believe in God. But I would never be so arrogant as to claim that people

I've found that it's usually as fast to use the Vim Command-T plugin to switch files even once they're opened than it is to switch back to that buffer directly. Main exception being the alternate buffer for which I have a quick shortcut - (

It can't be justified, that is all. I don't know that there are problems that can only be solved only by taking LSD, but neither can I categorically say that there aren't any at all, as you just did. How do you know? That is what I asked, a

The only reason why you wouldn't is because you can't always choose what draws you in. If you can keep your focus pretty much anything is possible; you're not handicapped in the same way as you would be on alcohol for instance. For some int

Well, I'm not really up for a tedious discussion over semantics; my initial post was actually a genuine query because I have never seen it spelt otherwise than Gaddafi or Qaddafi. Evidently it's actually a linguistic can of worms. If I ha

Yes well. Looking at that list there seems to be something of a consensus on the -afi. Also just because 112 different spellings have been used, doesn't mean all 112 spellings are correct. Anyway it's a fun idea and I'm just nit picking.

Hate to nit pick but isn't it Gaddafi, or Qaddafi? Edit: So it is, although the correct spelling is already taken.

None of the problems he outlined were a result of getting Diaspora out the door faster, but simply basic ignorance of security issues. attr_accessible, adding a current_user. to db queries and so on doesn't take any time at all, and should

Not only that, but his comparison of bus tickets to high-speed rail tickets is absurd. In the UK it can cost me anything from £20-70 return London to Edinburgh by bus for example. By regular-speed train without a railcard, it's gonna be abo
