Yes, quit. That company has a huge bus-factor. The world will never notice that you worked there, or that you quit. It's not important, and you won't think so later.

Yes, please. I used Delicious but never liked it, it was merely closest to what I wanted. Now I use pinboard, and I mostly like it. I actually like Firefox, so please, leave it alone.

"there's SO MUCH STUFF on the front page" I haven't been there for a long time, so I went there to follow your critique, and my first thought was WTF is all this? This is like a 90s site map, with pictures.

Ah: The Racket Guide. http://docs.racket-lang.org/guide/ Call a plumber and the faucet starts working. But the question still stands, where would you point and experienced C-side programmer to start off in racket?

Another word: lxde. On Ubuntu that's lubuntu. xfce is cool, but it's gotten too visible for me. lxde/lubuntu is just windows and a panel. Personal preference, personal choice. Glad you like xfce.

Yes, exactly. It's not about comments, or civility, of fine dining. It's about selling real people behind real names to real advertisers because real money is at stake.

Licensed media as "books" and "recordings" have been a wet dream for years. This is the happy ending.

Interesting thing is, traditional book publishers could do the same. Maybe they have, and we wouldn't be aware of it. My impression is that they mostly haven't and mostly wouldn't. I think Apple, Amazon et al. are particularly extractive, a

Do we really want our information mediated/censored by this sort of corporate behavior?

Maybe because you're ignoring his legitimate statement: "No one asked me about this switch. I was purposedly keeping that version ."

f'ing brilliant. And actually a usefully gentle introduction to API construction and use.

Maybe the batteries can be molded/fitted into body cavities. Maybe one day the frame can be made out of batteries.

Voice, the content of the day. It's a stretch.

That's exactly how I found it, by accident. I think a lot of people do.

No dishonesty intended, and not done conveniently. They look like toys (or chocolate, from the article), and kids are getting hurt. We disagree.

And that's my point. That's Google's equivalent future.

"I'd like to paste yanked text into Vim command line." While the top voted answer is very complete, I prefer editing the command history. In normal mode, type: q: This will give you a list of recent commands, editable and searchable

Wasn't ATT before the divestiture their day's equivalent of an owner of infrastructure and a controller, if not owner, of "content?" You got good, reliable service. What was more reliable than the phone?

"Buckyballs are small, powerful round rare earth magnets that are sold as toys and desktop accessories." Hot stoves, grills and harmful toxins aren't toys and there isn't a normal use case where a child would use those. It can happen, but i

It's not obvious, but there is also aesthetics in code, although relatively few people ever see it. You can give a coding assignment to two people, they can both deliver as specified, but one's code might be a pleasure to read while another

I agree with you. For example, not all of your projects are going to need a designer. Your code won't be used without a front end, and sometimes the only person to do it is you.

I believe I understood exactly what it does (mail new reviews by other people of "my" app). I also think it looks OK. It may be no one wants a service like that.

Yes, on the server, where C also lives.

Other suggestions are great. I would add, as necessary but not sufficient, keep your affairs in order, and always know what you're going to do today and how to do it.
