   Just the latest victim of the deletionist forces. This is the reason I, and many many other people have given up on contributing to Wikipedia altogether. Jason Scott has a very eloquent description of the problem [1],[2], and Wikipedia's fa

   And finally, on being a quitter - you will not be seen as a quitter by people who care about your well being if you communicate the situation clearly. The people who may try to shame you as a quitter, will be people who will benefit from yo

   The minuses you list far outweigh the pluses. - If the work is not challenging, it will not be very useful on your resume anyway. - The network that is important is your personal connections to coworkers - if you are not directly interactin

   su.pr was launched in 2009, so I don't think there's a direct correlation. Just a lot of users and really good recommendation algorithms. They've been also steadily improving their mobile and ipad apps.

    It was definitely fascinating to watch for a while. I would actually love to watch live coding with commentary of some good programmers, I imagine you could learn a lot from it.

    Well, macports/homebrew seem to fill the package manager gap pretty well. I upgraded to Lion the other day - one "port selfupdate && port upgrade" command and an hour of downloads/compiles later I had my dev environment back to norm

    A little, but not really. I've learned about a number of really useful tools that I use every day now from usethis articles. Clothing is just clothing after all, but tools make my life easier and help me become a better programmer.

    Cache them using what app? Because google maps won't cache a whole city for me, certainly not at street level zoom.

    I like Skitch.com, similar idea, but it lets you choose what you want to take a picture off, and provides a basic image editor (handy for adding annotations, highlights, etc.) before upload.

    $6/Gb on mobile? That would be wonderful compared to, let me check... $20/Mb that I just paid for checking google maps over AT&T roaming when lost in another country. Sigh.

    I don't have advice about mobile dev, but I can tell you that there is always an under-served niche of local businesses and artists that need web dev work done. They are under-served because they fall in the gap where they do not have the e

    You can't really have a repeating background that is a section of a sprite image in CSS, afaik, so no. That's a limitation of CSS in general, not just this tool.
