Not alone, certainly, but almost certainly in the minority. I don't think I've met anyone in person (in five professional years, granted) who uses a GUI for anything Git-related except complex merges or history visualization, both on rare o

I use this pattern from time to time (and should probably alias it). While checkout -b (or reset --hard <hash>) is good for most cases, I like making a stash entry if I'm in the middle of a logical unit of work and don't want to com

My wife and I made a great book of wedding photos for both sets of parents on Blurb. Great experience on the site -- keep up the good work!

I wonder whether it would be permissible to have a system that deduplicates only a fraction of the content. Based on the rulings, it seems like 100% deduplication would be considered infringement while 0% is acceptable. If I shaved off 1 by

The repo is only being hidden for a week ("until Thursday morning"), which to me implies that the fix is localized and/or well understood. That's a pretty small window of time, so I'm not sure that it will provide any additional impetus for

I switched to DDG permanently a while back, and using it as a pass-through for other searches has been great. Saves me the effort of keeping up with a bunch of custom search bookmarks myself, and they're intuitive enough to guess (for examp

THOMAS is indeed pretty clunky, which is why I prefer Cornell's site (though it doesn't provide permalinks to arbitrary depth either): http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/17/512

I'm currently a Highcharts advocate, but this looks quite promising. Would love to see a comparison between the two (not sure if I have bandwidth to do it myself).

I can't find the link where I read this now, but apparently Soylent was largely composed of soya and lentils in the book version. See also the published list of ingredients to assuage your fears.

The "[mostly vegetable]" aspect would, in theory, also reduce stress on water supplies because raising animals requires a fair amount of water. I don't have a definitive source at hand, but there's an interesting interactive exploration of

Thanks for the tip! (For those who needed to search, as I did: http://roots.cx/css/ ) Do you know of any other Stylus-based frameworks, for comparison?

I set up the beginnings of my first Node app this past weekend with Express, Stylus + Nib, and Handlebars (plus nodemon and livereload, though I think I may need to add a little Grunt + regarde to get the most out of livereload). Very enjoy

Thanks for the introduction to Twitter Commons! I've used Dropwizard in the past and loved it. It seems like the shared libraries of both frameworks -- Jetty, Jersey, and Jackson -- provide them with an equally strong foundation. Guice seem

Genericization happens all the time. Many brands throughout modern history have fallen into similar patterns[0] (capitalization sometimes, but not always, survives). Where I grew up in Mississippi, many people would refer to soft drinks as

I've tried not to bring up "English-Likeness" aspect because that's a whole other can of worms. But since it's out there now... I don't believe this is einhverfr's intent in the least, but the promotion of English is often an ethnocentric a

The method signature is the low-hanging fruit. Try the method body. ADD: Do you accept that programming has its basis in mathematics and logic? If so, how is making computer languages resemble human languages a more direct way to improve co

I think you're dramatically underestimating the amount of work your brain did in that process.

Completely agree; left a similar comment upthread. Natural language will be insufficient for programming until we succeed in accurately reducing all natural language to mathematical expressions, which could be achievable if we unlock the se

I think airport body scanners and abuse of webcams by school personnel are memories too fresh in the public's mind for this idea to gain traction.

I recently discovered Dropwizard, which I found to be incredibly easy to use and eminently readable. The example code I saw for Vert.x, on the other hand, reminded me of the "callback spaghetti" I've heard lamented as a problem in NodeJS. D
