It would be ironic if the Mercurial server were saturnine though.

Please do this! I am always so intrigued by systems, but get intimidated by just how wide and deep modern operating systems are. The world needs more technically informative podcasts. I'm a huge fan of the format, but most podcasts I&#

I agree with the first commenter on the link. This is quite a reach. It's unlikely that the order to take down an old, unmaintained site would have come from someone who's in on some sinister agenda to revise history.

I didn't ask for podcasts that will, by themselves, make me a better software engineer. I'm just looking for ones that are more productive than just listening to music in my car on the way to work.

Your comment demonstrates the subjectiveness of the "right tool". I personally have no problem coding on a laptop, and even find myself more productive with the MBP's trackpad than a mouse. While I don't like working o

The number of people that would need to cooperate to keep the existence of this type of code secret is unfeasibly high. It's much more likely that the NSA simply has the companies' TLS keys and can intercept "secure" tr

This is the thing that gives me a bad feeling about Kickstarter. It seems like the site and its project creators are preying on those who are willing to lay down money based on hype without being adequately compensated for the amount of ri

I'm going through this same process of admitting failure right now, and it seems like everybody gives people in our position the same advice: "Don't worry about the investors. They knew what they were getting into." In our case, this is s
