   I think that presenting a list of toggleable permissions isn't the problem. The problem is that all the apps out there right now depend on having all the permissions that they ask for, and you'll end up with random crashes all th

   Yeah, I get that. But it makes me wonder why "unit testing" became such a hot thing. I think it's just because it's simpler than integration testing. But integration testing is much more valuable.

   If something is broken in code that I'm interfacing with, I'd like for my tests to reflect that. I've never understood the "testing little things in isolation" strategy when it precludes a "test everything all

   I think static site generators aren't really "new" technology. Originally, the whole web was based on serving static pages. In a sense, it's the oldest web tech there is. And you're simplifying your stack on the

   But if you could pause your brain and make a perfect duplicate, with the same neuronal connections, and then "wake up" both you and your neuronal clone, would you experience yourself as two different entities? And if you only woke

   I totally disagree with this. I think there's probably a bell curve relating confidence in your own abilities to actual performance. At one end, you have people who think they just lucked out, and they'll have poor performance be

   Oooh, you can work on Web 2.0 AND 3.0. I'm not sure if Web 3.0 is backwards compatible, though.

    > The words 'and' and 'or' should not be used for boolean comparisons, they are intended to be used to join two separate clauses such as "render 'template' and return" in rails. Is that true? Beca

    I love the line "companies like Adobe and Google". McDonald's is a company like Adobe and Google, in the sense that it has a name and sells things.

    I don't think I understand the first one. The flaw is that you can force someone to login to Facebook as someone they're not? It looks like you're saying that you can pass a custom username and password to the FB connect bu

    But you can totally audit the PHP code. There honestly isn't that much of it, and absolutely none of it takes user input. I'd be way more concerned if this was a Rails or Django app, because then there would be lots of library c

    Watch people out in public sometime. Probably over half of them are absorbed in something on their smartphone. We're constantly processing information now. It's a huge change, and I'm not convinced it's for the better

    If they had nothing but negative consequences, no one would smoke them. Obviously the people who do smoke them are getting some kind of value from them.

    This kind of thinking throws me into infinite loops. I think I'm not such a good developer, which makes me think that I must be a good developer because I recognize my limitations, which makes me think that I'm not such a good de

    Is there a way to set the Explore emails to go to a different address than the primary? I set my primary as my work address, because most of my repos are work-related, but I'd like this email to go to my gmail.
