Besides the fact that some of these stickers are in fact useful for "serious work" (like "big red exclamation sign"), "serious work" isn't Trello's only target audience. And it's not like they to

Meanwhile, I'm completely on board with this. Trello is used by a lot of people who make lots of money and want to throw some of it at Fog Creek because they're awesome, but it's also used by a lot of people who make not lots

That presumes that either (a) they have time to spend doing substantial work with open source outside of their day job and other obligations, or (b) they have a day job which allows them both the time and the regulatory freedom to contribut

Actually, that's part of the issue. Most of Parrot's semantics are exactly those of Perl 6 (right down to the opcodes for Boolean testing), and those don't get along well with most languages.

My preferred definition of LUA is "Lua Uppercase Accident." ;-)

Yes: [] But that's only because it hasn't been used for anything worth suing over.

I'm pretty sure suing you if it causes damage counts as "what the f--k they want to."

Have you looked at Inform? There's a paper on its Web site [1] discussing its approach to modeling the world. [1] http://inform7.com/learn/papers/

They use different object file formats, different system calls, different library loading procedures, and on and on. Even if Mac OS X had the actual Linux kernel, the windowing interfaces are completely different.

Yeah. But if you're not publishing it to the entire world, you probably won't run into them. And there are many other applications where databases are useful, that aren't network servers of any kind.

According to Wikipedia [1], the more conventional abbrevation for "the" in Old English was "þe." ("þ" [thorn] generally transcribes as "th," with "ð" as "dh.") On the other hand, t

I was about to do that. But then the stranger awakened, and then, the game becomes far more interesting.

Except generating a random salt and the proper hash format to provide as input to crypt() is surprisingly difficult, especially in a cross-platform way. I recently replaced my custom crypt wrapper with the userland implementation of these f

That's still the recommended way to install Distribute (for Python) [1] -- though they at least don't recommend you pipe it to sh directly. Composer (for PHP) [2] also uses this install method, but you can just download the Phar f

The problem with using Git push to deploy is that when you're first setting up your deployment, if you make a mistake in the settings, you can't amend the commit to fix it, because it's already been pushed - so the mistake st

I haven't written one, but I contributed a few patches to nanoc [1]. But if nanoc didn't exist, I probably would have written my own. And now that you mention it, I have been looking for an excuse to learn Clojure... [1] http://nanoc.sto

That's because the syntax was redesigned to be more orthogonal. So $ is always followed by a word to expand a variable and not an arcane symbol, % is used for a wide variety of ways to get process ID's, and it's easy to set up arrays beside

This reminds me of something my assembly instructor said in class once (paraphrased): "Once, I was interested in finding out how a C compiler would handle the div instruction. So, I opened up my editor, and wrote this C program: void

Because it's a popular, well-written framework with a huge volume of existing code, and integrating WebSockets into Django means you don't have to maintain two codebases if you want to have a realtime Django app. Also, it's fun.
