   It's not so much that there's anything wrong with it, but it feels like a shim. Functionally, it's awesome, but it could do with sex-ing up a bit. I'm just envying the fact that Fish appears to have style; it's pretty. I like pretty.

   Why is no one putting in any time to replace the Windows shell (cmd.exe)? The stock offering is abysmal and Cygwin isn't much better. We could really use something with a bit of panache like this... Hmmm..

   Sorry, I should have said "feels like a lot for my scenario ".

   I like the concept but I don't like your pricing model. For what it is, even $19 a month feels like a lot. I would love to add this to the couple of web apps I run but at that cost it'd run parallel to the cost of my AWS overhead. Semi-seri

   There is a lot of trash in here. From the author himself: "People who use super heavy frameworks are often crap programmers" Nice. Bye.

   I wish this was an accurate mindset of the kinds of programmers I have to work with. Sometimes I picture myself tying my scarf around my head, leaping onto my desk and screaming "Come on! Lets go! F--k this place, we can do it better than t

   I am a freelance Unity3D developer :) There is certainly a tool-focussed approach but even as an engineer, this can work quite well for you and help speed up the soft decisions. Personally, I like leveraging the editor in this kind of way b

   This is actually pretty exciting. There are a lot of SDKs out there for this cross-over of mobile and web games (Unity3D, Ejecta etc), but none of them have been built with this kind of pipeline in mind and the GC devs are clearly aware o

    I am on the verge of breaking ground on a large-scale corporate project in which WPF/XAML is the tech of choice for UI. I have received criticism for even suggesting that HTML5 is "up to the job" but I feel like this completely validates my

    I've always thought the potential for Erlang technology in game servers is huge (as demonstrated in PikkoTekk - http://muchdifferent.com/?page=game-pikkotekk ). Hopefully, _hopefully_, Elixir will go a long way to reducing the perceived ba

    Whilst I'm a huge fan of games and a huge fan of education, I am skeptical about using games for education. I'm not saying it's not possible - and quite honestly, I don't know much about Civ4 to call this - but I know from when I was in the

    I have to say, although I can only appreciate at a distance the level of skill needed to pull something like this off, reading articles about it blows my frickin' mind. It is both fascinating and terrifying that there are people out there w

    Even for the US government this seems like a real stretch though. I mean, what did they think was going to happen? There is ostensibly no case here. I would just love to know what their plan was and how they thought it'd lead to the end of

    I learnt Python about 18 months ago when a friend of mine handed me a Django book. In retrospect it was an absolutely fantastic way to learn Python, especially if you are already familiar with another language or two. http://www.djangobook

    Your information sounds about right. The domain is currently about 10 days into the "redemption period" which I believe is 'last chance saloon' for the domain owners to renew it. Before expiring it was ad-parked so I very much doubt they wi
