Not relevant to the OP, but: I had never heard this phrase used so much before moving out here to California. Is it a local thing? I think it's especially over-represented here when preceded by "so": "So, it turns out that virality is a big

Yes, that's what I'm already doing. The question is what to put as your core.excludesfile setting in the .gitconfig file.

All I want is to be able to use home-directory notation (like ~bdr/.gitignore) in my .gitconfig, so I can use the same config across different machines. Does anyone know how to do this?

A pun is likely to fall above the speaker's "conversational value threshold" (i.e., is it worth saying?) and below the listener's (was it worth him saying?) because (1) the comedic value is low, but (2) the speaker alone gets the added bene

Regardless of Google's intentions, it's going to be perceived as part of their feud with Apple. Anyone can make a demo, but Google has yet to demonstrate that they can execute well on hardware.

Why would their costs be so high? They should post a breakdown of where the money's going.

I think people interpreted your comment as saying "You won't look at most commits ever again, so don't be so anal."

Well it was taking like 20 seconds to do my cleanup. Five seconds still sucks for users. IIRC, remove has to recurse to every child to check for stored data, so I'm just removing the nodes manually and eating the tiny data memory leak. edit

This is cool. remove() was a bottleneck for my app, but a constant-fraction speedup won't be enough to fix it. I'll have to dig in and see if it actually works differently now.

Then I don't feel rude pointing out that it should be "step into", not "step in to".

Note that this doesn't directly tell you what people want. It tells you what people want and aren't getting . For example, the fact that boyfriends don't search for "...love me" doesn't mean that they don't want to be loved; maybe they wan

Accumulated experience isn't an end in itself. I guess I don't know the salary situation, but web development pays fine.

I really don't understand why they don't quit. Maybe making games is their dream, but obviously it's not as good as they imagined. Switch to web dev and find work instantly.

The stupid part about waiting for a local minimum isn't the waiting, it's the thinking that you can even identify a local minimum.

This post is best read as predictions about how the companies are going to do, rather than how the stock is going to do. Stock performance means predicted price in 2020 vs price now, and this post mentions neither of those.

I recommend reading it anyway. It may not be the authority on grammar, but it can teach you a lot about (surprise!) style.
