I still haven't found an IDE that compares to VS in terms of productivity and usability. The elephant in the room here is cost. I work in various flavors of Visual Studio every day, and it is a nice IDE, but if I was bootstrapping a comp

Never thought of that, and it's clearly an interesting point, but, given that software companies are generally distributing apps across platforms, how much lock in does really exist? If I'm using app A on an iPhone, then switch to an And

Pittsburgh PA: invivodata http://www.invivodata.com/aboutus/careers/product-developmen... The Products group is small (just three devs in PGH, plus four in Santa Cruz), and we do a mix of web and device/mobile work. We are mostly a .NET/

I was a dedicated IR_Black user (in both VIM and Visual Studio), and didn't think highly of this at first. But after about an hour, it's grown on me. If I can scrape together some time, I'll throw together a VS2010 color scheme/theme.

(NB: My wife and I homeschool our kids.) These kids end up absolutely unequipped to do anything but reproduce more of themselves and let the rest of us finance their existence. You mean as opposed to kids who go through public schools (on

Why? There are plenty of home/un-schooling groups that you could assist even though you don't have kids.

You also don't (yet, at least) pay for "new" content. People sitting through commercials (or paying for cable) get content before it is even available to you.

Agreed. We have to produce a lot of paper doc in my domain, and in our bug base, there's a section dedicated to spec bugs. Just cos it's in the spec doesn't make it right.

Agreed. My company's offering opened my eyes to two things: 1. Many people, even in the States, have sloooow connections at home. 2. Many people have very poor cell/GSM/GPRS coverage. We still have to provide a POTS modem for our handhe

I recently converted back to Vim for all my non-.NET work (and Visual Studio is configured with Vim keybindings). I like having a single editor that I can use across platforms.

UI nit: In Chrome 10 on Windows 7, the "specific community" image is being cut off on the left.

I held out on purchasing MP3s for a long time because of this very thing. The packaging was important to me--the art, the lyrics, and, in some cases, the color of vinyl. That said, I've kinda gotten over that, and happily purchase MP3s.

Has VB.NET changed much over the last seven or eight years? I've not used it in awhile, but after spending the last year working with the latest release of C#, why would anyone lament the passing of VB?

Does this same logic apply to, say, a control module in a space craft, or the software behind an MRI machine?

Agreed. My family climbs outdoors probably 150+ days a year, including bouldering, sport climbing, and trad climbing. While I've done some things that some might consider dangerous, it really is about minimizing risk and being in control

Perhaps not for use in your life. I'm not a smartphone user and don't do text messages. I really like the idea of this phone because it strips away all the crap that I don't need. Granted, if I did have a smartphone, or was a "power use

You are confusing having something to hide and keeping your thoughts to yourself. There is a difference.

Why is it a bad thing to keep some thoughts to yourself? And I'm not necessarily referring to thoughts about other people.

Did you read the article? Blogging is mentioned. Personally, while I do blog periodically, my journal is entirely different than what I publish online. My journal is for my own consumption. Some things that are written down there (I pref

Before I made a brief foray in the land emacs, I used tabs in VIM rather than leveraging the buffer system (I came from a Windows world, so I was used to tabs in other editors). Then emacs opened my eyes to magic of buffers, and when I ret

Polling QWERTY v Dvorak is splitting hairs. If I asked each of the people in my (reasonably sized) office what a Dvorak keyboard was, I reckon less than 10% would know what I was talking about. That said, yes, the question could have been

Slice posted a technique for a skillet/broiler method of getting the proper char on a Neapolitan pizza: http://slice.seriouseats.com/archives/2010/09/how-to-make-gr... This works well, and doesn't require oven hacking.

There is, however, a better way to convey this. Political correctness != civility.

It's important to note where it was published: Alpinist. That's very technical climbing journal. If it wasn't laden with jargon, I'd wonder what the editors were thinking.

It's slightly route specific, but when dealing with expando-flakes, particularly, this could be really useful. There are plenty of other pieces of protection out there that are feature/route specific (Big Bros and ship-anchor size cams come
