Ha I wasn't too serious about it...that was basically the only nitpick I could find :)

You got the color of the ones and twos swapped :p Great job!

I've done similar and now I almost always write a select first and then only after I've verified I'm getting the rows that I expect do I update my query to an update/delete.

I wrote an update script for a database table not realizing I had the key wrong (I'm kind of fuzzy on the details, but essentially I think it was a composite key but I was only using one of the columns in my WHERE clause...) and accide

Do you still have to set the column widths explicitly? That was one of the main reasons I had to drop this lib, because we had dynamic data and I didn't want to deal with adding a bunch of JavaScript on top to resize columns on the fly

by Davertron 13y ago
Yeah, I've run into this as well. I would say avoid doing this if you can and use an AJAX call from inside the javascript to pull the data in that you need. Sometimes this isn't feasible/ideal though (especially if the data i

I didn't see anything about them having their own servers, but they do mention you can use something like BitCasa or Carbonite along side Plug, which run about $5/month for unlimited backups.

"Dear users: you're doing it wrong". I don't think this is a very good answer. If the majority of your users think that your site isn't useful (and I'm not at all sure this is the case, although I can certainly identify with this sentiment)

I think what he's saying is when you're upvoting/downvoting someone, you don't actually know whether they're male or female based solely on the username.

Thanks for this, I was searching for this exact thing the other day and couldn't find it.

As far as I know there's only one reason not to rebase code that's been pushed. My point was that pushing constantly as a backup mechanism isn't an option if you intend to rebase frequently (unless you're the only developer on the project).

by Davertron 14y ago
If you rebase a lot, then you want to avoid pushing code constantly until you get it where you want it.

I think normal Jira seems like it's just like every other bug tool I've ever used (trac, bugzilla, etc.), but where I work every single project has been customized differently.

I was wondering the same thing. Neither ctrl+space or cmd+space works on osx for me, maybe because I have alfred installed?

I would love to try using Trello at work. I use it for my own personal projects just to keep track of stuff. We use Jira at work with a slew of plugins on top and our own custom processes, and it's AWFUL. It's complicated, there are differe

That's all fine and good if you're the only person working on the project, but when you have multiple people involved, you need something more than a notebook.

by Davertron 14y ago
Yeah, when I read this I thought "duh"; having an entire other team of developers come in and totally change a codebase and not communicate what/why they changed to another team that's frequently working on that codebase sounds like a recip

I forked minikomi's gist above that does something like this, except you use ctrl+j to execute what's in the buffer: https://gist.github.com/4673043

I forked yours and made it a JavaScript editor. You can use ctrl+j to execute what's in the buffer. https://gist.github.com/4673043

I rationalize not charging anything for it by saying "well it's free so I don't have to fix it if you have problems with it" :) Actually though it was an experiment for me using Backbone and Mongo, so I wasn't sure it was even going to hang

I built something like this as a personal side project awhile ago: http://simpletask.davertron.com . I tried to keep it dirt-simple as well: just let me add tasks, click a button to start timing and click the button again to stop. I have a

I actually thought you were talking about this: https://www.circuitlab.com/ I just came across it the other day, and though I haven't played with it a ton yet, it seems like an extremely useful tool for learning about electronic circuits.

How hard would it be to have your script look for the submission on HN by url instead of having to manually put in the id? Maybe it could use the one with the highest score if there's more than one?

Yeah if it's pretty much the same, then I don't really care to change. I'm used to screen and happy with its functionality. Vertical splits aren't game-changing enough for me to learn a whole new app.

by Davertron 14y ago
Care to elaborate? I'm open to switching if I think it'll be worthwhile.

GNU Screen http://www.gnu.org/software/screen/ also supports multiple users per session, so you can use it for remote pair programming as well. I believe it supports most of the same things as tmux except the vertical splits (although I s

Not sure why, but in latest Chrome (19.0) on OSX I get a lot of flickering during the transitions (like a full browser black flash).
