It's a post on a discussion forum on Joel's site, not a post by Joel himself. Easy to make the mistake though (I quite often get halfway through a linked comment on there before I realise)

YMMV but I'm using an Air as my main dev machine at the moment. I bought it just because I need a mac for a few things but I seem to have ended up using it all the time. I'm used to having very small laptops though. I would say you definite

That sounds very useful. Theres a not-very-good web interface here. I keep meaning to write a scraper and use it to present the data in a more web and people friendly form.

Well done for doing something to make the world around you a little better. If only everyone did little things like this how much better the world would be. Im very supprised the bus companies dont do tgis though! Here in the UK nearly all

I guess so, but you'll get a lot more out of things if you do :) For me at least I find it just gets so much easier the more you do it, pretty soon you'll find that "hi, I'm XX, what are you working on?" comes out as easy as anything. But n

If there are Hackerspaces nearby then you're in luck, just go along! Don't worry about being smart enough or anything silly like that, there won't be an entry test :) Seriously though, you can just turn up and have a look at what people are

That would be incredible, I really miss pattern matching when writing Python code. Fitting it into the existing style of syntax and the language semantics is a problem though. Pattern matching in list comprehensions would be awesome too. Li

Very nice idea. It's the sort of thing I'd use if it were cross platform. But for people just on OSX (and there's nothing wrong with targeting just that market for the moment) it looks great!

It's like someone broke into someone's home and had a good look at a TV then went home and built another exactly like it and gave it to you.

Very cool, although it could probable use a name. Maybe "DuckDuckChat"? "DuckDuckGo XMPP Service" is not going to be used by all but the most technical of users I think... Even "DuckDuckGo Jabber Service" is better, XMPP just sounds so unfr

You definitely need references for your claims there. As far as I know, and I'm not a Noam Chomsky expert, he has compared the media attention given to massacres in some parts of the world with massacres in others. From what I've read of hi

You seem to be correct on both of those points. Sandboxing Lua does seem quite easy though: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1224708/how-can-i-create-...

The fact that it allows separate arguments should make injections vulnerabilities a lot less likely to happen by accident since there shouldn't be any need to interpolate you arguments into the code string (this would also mess up the compi

This seems like a really good reason, especially with Redis's focus on code quality and developer fun. That scripting.c is only 382 lines long is very cool :)

Have a look at the bottom of the article, antirez suggests that a EVALSHA command might be implemented that would allow specification of a script by a SHA1 hash. Seems like a good idea to get the rest of it sorted before deciding on that bi

I think this neatly illustrates the problems with other software have Vi or Emacs key bindings. Everyone has a slightly different set of bindings they use to do things and if you have even slightly different behaviour then it's just more a

Cool app, I like how you're doing one very simple thing in an easy to understand way. I've found a bug: when I set a load of times on the calendar then click the "permalink" link it sometimes loses the last few times I set. I guess it takes

It probably saves them a whole load of pain. And you are rather a special case, how many non-bots try to access Stack Overflow via a EC2 do you think? There are plenty of other cheap VPS providers anyway...
