Am sorry but what's this post about?

Meh... It just means am even less likely to use ubuntu in the future.. I have already moved out of it, due to the amount of fixing i need to do, just to compensate for the problems introduced by apt-get update. Now it seems i'll just end up

While i liked his gumption, I personally thought god i don't want to do that.. I have been playing around haskell on and off, in my free time, and have come to a conclusion that while it's a fun and cool language to play around, it may not

World, great... i have been having this idea running through my head for some time, but need to iron it out a little and do some research .. Am on a 3-6 month project here, will contact you after.

To me it has become a sign that i am bored of what i am reading and should just skip to the story's punchline. Or sometimes abandon it altogether.

I have been on and off a programmer over the last 10 years. and the last 3 have been using vim(only these 3 were on linux), used to be scite for the first 3 years and whatever was available the rest of the time (which was mostly part-time p

Uhh. not to be grumpy, but i read socially apropos as socially relevant and not socially appropriate. Disclaimer: am biased towards the OP. sometimes grumpiness can keep people away and let your brain/attention free from figuring out havi

While i agree with your point, i think the article(as a whole) doesn't really contradict with your argument. It does presume(nay project) that at some point in the timeline of mankind CS departments will perish. but my imagination tells me

Can anybody throw a idea of comparison between their service and rescuetime? I'm a rescuetime user, should i consider trying their service?

Perhaps OT: but is it only me that sees Gabriella as a female name and thinks the article is a little implicitly sexist? If the author chose it and tries to point out that there's a sex difference then fine. But otherwise, implicitly insert

Interesting, but am not sure it'll work from a marketing/founder-motivation perspective. There may be a segregation VCs can see, but it is not clear what effects it'll have on the company/founder's future efforts/commitment to the startup b

I noticed a similar usage in my case too. that's two different type of writings. 1. Medium sized thoughts/posts(not really essays, just a few connections i made while reading.around 500 words or so.) and 2. Pithy 1 or 2 sentence comment alo

>In my opinion, if you don't write to better understand how you think, you're dead wood. Can't agree more. that's pretty much what got me into writing back in my teens. But i have found that without reading,thinking and making connectio

Hmm. Now i understand the reactions better. But isn't it a little akin to going on to ubuntu/ any linux forum and asking(demanding??) for new features. As far as i can see, they haven't been able to convert the diaspora work into profit-ma

Nope that was the first thing that struck me as odd about the post.

I don't know why there are so many comments along the lines of "come on this is meme creation old and boring". But I do think this has value. What's created out of the whole activity(colloborative editing) may or may not be a big thing, but

Interesting. I should try using that. That is mechanical models. I have come across it(using a mechanical device analogy/metaphor for thinking about something) in other fields( http://www.ribbonfarm.com/2010/06/30/the-philosophers-abacus...

Can't agree more. Infact at my current company working alone has led me to slow down on getting stuff done. my solution? Write obsessively, i.e to the extent of opening up 750words.com and putting down whatever thoughts interrupt work even

It does help in some sense, but not always. I found that, if i wrote out test cases like i am preparing a test scenario document for someone in plain English it works. If i have to open vim and write test cases, i seem to the hack mode and

I am beginning to realize this recently at my new job. Due to a couple of people leaving and stuff like that, i got handed a reportedly(half-written) code base with no test cases. And a knowledge transfer document, that was mainly written b

Hmm. that makes sense. because browser have been handling js for a longer time and so there would be more support for a in-browser js interpreter. I have seen some python in-browser interpreters, which are good though.

+1. My first reaction was similar too . -- I am non-american so the Pacific Northwest connotation is weaker.but got the drift.

Yep, am considering debian, ArchLinux, gentoo. Ofcourse building all the packages i need on top of the base. Right now, that's how the priority stands, but might move up ArchLinux.

Ubuntu 12.04 user. But having been through multiple linux desktop starting with Fedora 9, am now tired. For my next box i want a basic linux kernel + bash + Xserver + xmonad WM. nothing fancier.
