Very cool. I'd be a little afraid to get addicted and not be able to edit effectively away from my pedal though.

"Let me?" Don't ask for permission. And it's not that you "can be" just as capable. You are just as capable. Nobody needs to "let you" do anything, just do it.

So many questions are already authoritatively answered that there's a much higher bar for new users to contribute. And without new users coming in and participating, there's a feeling of stagnation. I'm not yet convinced they're at an impas

There's a lot of truth to what you say but some people choose to be here because of family ties or for other non-economic reasons, and still feel the need to start businesses, even though they know they know it could be much easier elsewher

Yup, that's exactly what I meant. Thank you.

At the risk of sounding like an elitist hipster hacker, the core audience of this site comes here looking to read articles about innovation, not staid, conservative companies slowly transitioning to established and proven technologies.

It's 2012, not 2008. Why is the #2 story right now about a company that switched from SVN to Git?

>>> in the most condescending tone possible. >> No one is taking a tone with you. > Oh, the irony. Condescendingly telling someone "nobody is taking a tone with you." That's the irony you're missing.

Ok, I'm going to assume that you actually want me to explain, and not that this is just an argument tactic you're using to try to score debate points. I hope I'm correct. The OP's complaint was presented in a reasonable tone of voice, was a

Sorry, no grammar cop points for you. That was a correct usage of the word "irony."

I've been using Apple products since the Apple II, so I guess at this point I've learned to take the hype with a grain of salt or two.

Sure, it's evolutionary, not revolutionary. Who cares? What's wrong with it being an incrementally better version of an existing product? Does every product release have to utterly blow away everything in the history of computing in order t

This is certainly much better than just letting the software die a silent, anonymous death. At work we were about to do a project localized to a language nobody at the office speaks, so we were looking forward to using CopyCopter to work wi

We just completely redid the design of our site and barely touched the HTML other than the top nav, and that's mostly because the content changed there, and the changes were mostly deletions. In my experience a lot of developers solve probl

Perhaps we were unclear. Coding layouts in tables is coding towards appearance rather than meaning, hence the problems you described.

I agree many of the class names are well-chosen. But maybe they're not fine for every application. And Twitter may change them between versions (as they already have). The point is not to completely avoid using their naming scheme - the poi

Nice work. I had the idea to do something like this a few months back and never followed through on it. Yours is 100 times better than mine would ever have been, so now I'm glad I never got to it.

I quit my job and worked only on open source projects for almost two years. This is the article I wrote about my decision at the time: http://njclarke.com/posts/why-i-quit-my-job-to-work-on-open-... I never wrote a follow up to it, I gues

Interesting read. But the authors assume that most people would move from obsession with football to watching no sports at all. It seems more likely to me that people would simply replace football with some other sport. I saw this firsthand

Color me jaded, but the "excitement" about HTML5 is hardly ever about doing new things, it's about doing the same old things, but with different tools. Almost every HTML5 demo I've seen just reproduces something we could already to with tec

Sounds plausible, I guess, but I expected to hear about rampant alcoholism, not adderal. I would be intersted to hear more people weigh in before believing it though.

I see. Well, I'll give them some more time before forming an opinion I guess.

An easy way is to just define your functions in a table, and at the end of the file to be required, return the table. This was the pattern used in Lua before 5.1. The source for Luacov provides a clear example: https://github.com/keplerpro
