the minute I've read it I went and set the noswapfile option. I don't care if vim crashes, I save all the time. if it crashes I will just repeat the last edit. The stale swapfiles etc has caused me more time wasted over the years then lost

hmm. I do cassandra on EC2 and I can't think of any ec2 specific setup that I need to do. Its just plain ubuntu. I do install my own custom cassandra to stay on top, but I would do that on any ubuntu install.

agree. most of the described changes seem to follow from a bad db design. lets see: - Moving a message needs to move all of the message's comments, and all of the comments' files, and all of the comments' files' versions. Not really. commen

not sure what are all those dismissive comments are about. the news here is that it become exceptionally EASY to brute-force an 8 character password. 8char passwords did provide the security for a while, but it seems they don't anymore. Equ

its actually very easy. You develop on master. if you need s 'stabilisation' phase, when you only do bugfixes you can do that on a release branch. Or if you usually deploy the latest you can just tag the version that you deploy. If you want

indeed. I stopped worrying about native system ruby version since moving to rvm. it is almost the only way to keep you sane while dealing with distros and ruby versions.

Im not so sure. there is a clear difference here. With SCO the majority opinion was that SCO are full of it and will loose. I don't think many people stopped using Linux as a result of the suit. In contrast I can clearly envision a vendor d

This is much more of a problem. You can't switch jobs every few months and expect people to continue hiring you. Contractor can and usually does take on new projects all the time. So as a contractor when I hear 'Can you do X for us', the an

Actually its the other way around. Git branches with rebase and amend for commits are like mercurial patch queues on steroids. At Astrails we used mercurial for a couple of years with quite an elaborate workflow involving shared patch que

it is definitely not like that here in Israel. And this is the reason we are buying laptops from US. The local hebrew compatible keyboard is just horrible. with a very small Enter key, displaced "~" etc.

incorrect. insert mode is still 'i'. and search is still '/'. They are at different places on the keyboard but nothing changes except for the one single thing: hjkl that could be used to move the cursor are not as neatly together now. You

next step is to make a one giant trackpad with keys printed on top of it. os if you touch it its a key press and if you drag it its a mouse movement. now only need to figure out how to mouse click ;)

I don't see any problem with it. URL or URI should be opaque to their users by definition. in a properly designed and implemented REST interface you are never required to construct urls, you are just supposed to extract them from responses.

The problem with the model (1) and one of the reasons its hard to find someone willing to take the risks with it is that it allows for a not that difficult to pull off money scam. essentially you sell to yourself and then you chargeback on

especially as there is NO warning during the conversion process that the price will rise so dramatically. This really sucks. I just planned to upgrade to a small or medium plan but now I dont think I will, I'll probably just keep using our

Posting a link like this will surely miss the point for a lot of people. If you don't know who Fravia was go and read at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fravia I don't like his later theme of 'searching' stuff too much. But I still remember

I used TextMate for a couple of years but lately switched back to vim. This time I invested in a good vim setup with plugins to fill in places where it wasl lacking compared to TextMate. the config can be found at http://github.com/astrail
