Affiliate links to amazon? This has got to be the lamest excuse for posting a bunch of amazon links I've seen in a while. Usually there's at least some pretense of "reviewing" the titles.

Posting a message like that without supplying references or evidence just seems wrong.

Another happy tarsnap customer here. I've had it backing up all the stuff which matters to me every day for the past month. It's way simpler than my previous solution (backing up to S3) and it's much faster. It's also incredibly cheap (less

It just doesn't make sense that anyone could be that stupid. It's not like it would be hard to get fake reviews written. Doing it in a way that makes it obvious what your doing would just be stupid.

Awesome, maybe now I can practically run my tests against Postgres when I'm developing instead of against sqlite. Will be nice to avoid the (admittedly very occasional) works-on-sqlite-but-not-on-postgres problems.

I doubt it was the money that really mattered in that decision. Fog Creek sounds like a great place to work but there are jobs at Google that involve working on some very interesting stuff.

But they just seem so trustworthy! Maybe there's a market for a hosting reviews site run by some company or some person with a good existing reputation. Same goes for domain registrations, DNS providers etc.

Have they really simplified their site design recently? I remember looking at posterous briefly when it was mentioned on here before and thinking "why would I want to post stuff from email?". Now I look at the site and think "hey, that look

Weird, I've just in the last few days been playing with SMS to web stuff. I was just today wondering about making a more general system but since in the UK it costs to send messages (i understand the cost is on the receiver in the US) I cou

You might want to look into ropemacs (and pymacs which it uses) for some slimeish stuff with python in Emacs. I way to go from there to slime but it's a start.

I wrote a minor mode for Emacs a while ago that does something similar to what it looks like CSSEdit does. It uses MozRepl to update the current css of a page in Firefox so you can have a live preview as you work on a css file. I don't rea

Even better, in Python! print "NO" It's missing some internationalization and it'll probably fail every now and then (but less than 0.03% of the time) but you'll have to agree it is very concise. Sorry, I'll shut up now :p

Yeah, that sounds about right, and command log mode locks like a good base to build from. The real trick will probably be in coming up with tasks that are both interesting and useful. I've set up a Github thingy at https://github.com/almos

That wouldn't by such a great idea in my opinion, it's not such an advanced thing in Emacs to be rebinding keys, it's almost essential for normal use in fact. When you're binding your own keys you need to know what that key already does so

That's a brilliant idea! Anyone fancy actually doing this? I find I usually need to use a new feature a few times before it sinks in, this can be hard when it's not something I need very often. A game like thingy where I could try out the

Designers tend to have different sets of skills then programmers. In my experience they're not stupid, but they would tend to find a tool like git much harder to learn then you or I and it would give them less benefit even if they did.

I wish I could use Git on one of my current projects. But I need to work with non-programmers (on OSX in my case) and any command line stuff (or anything more complicated than checkout/add/update/commit) is totally out of the question. Stil

There's a record called "Symphony For Dot-Matrix Printers" which consists entirely of music made from printing special patterns to a load of dot-matrix printers. I heard it in a record shop once and it sounded pretty cool but not having the
