Ansible looks to me like the product of a person who looked at Puppet, said something like "ugh Ruby, ew syntax" and made his own thing, without looking deeper. Before he created Ansible, Michael Dehaan was Puppet&#

Surprisingly entertaining -- thanks! It'd be nice if the the popup messages had a force field around them, so they stayed readable for as long as possible.

I just finished _Dreaming in Code_ Friday night. A deep dive into http://chandlerproject.org/ afterward was one of the more depressing experiences I've had in recent memory: all that effort, abandoned.

You can split hunks until they're consecutive lines. You can't split more granularly than that with -p. You'd need to edit the patch, either directly or with git gui or similar.

Sort of. -p considers consecutive lines a single hunk. Often, that's not what I want. Luckily, there is magit: http://philjackson.github.com/magit/

Our boy just turned 3 months old. People keep telling us we got really lucky, but the impact on sleep and personal time has not been that huge. During my wife's pregnancy, I had a big development project eating up 90%-95% of my free time: I

Having my food be smart energy packets reduces the excitement of sitting down to dinner. On the other hand, it's been indispensable for getting back in shape -- this combined with working out 4/5 days a week and I'm down to 190 from 210 a y

Perfect; I was just looking for vc-annotate-next today. Magit user here. I love it for its ability to let me do line-level control over what I place in the index. I use the prompt for deep surgery but for general coding/logging/commit-bundl

Funny, about an hour ago I finally broke down and remapped Ctrl+w to backward-kill-word[1] after re-reading Yegge's Effective Emacs, and you've just reminded me to push the commit to my fork of emacs-starter-kit, which is a great way to get

To me, finger seemed to lapse the same way the old-school tilde-based 'personal website' gave way to Geocities et al -- people gradually shifted away from it. Remember John Carmack of id Software using a plan file to distribute Doom news? T

'Leads to' is an unfortunate choice of words at best. Unless there are details not yet divulged, this appears pretty similar to, e.g., 'Casual Encounters section of Craigslist Leads to Murder of Phoenix Man'.

Very nice. The developer's responsiveness to bug reports is what makes this the best form-styling solution for a side project I'm working on at the moment; this should be pretty well-vetted. Josh, thanks for your efforts!

Cool. I've been enjoying sup on a daily basis for quite some time now, and it's great. C-speed search and robust emacs integration sound wonderful; it's too bad these features sprung up inside a different client... but it's good to have opt

I've recently come to the same conclusion as the author. I've long been an advocate of Linux, but a few years go I sort of gradually switched off Linux on the desktop back to Windows. It wasn't premeditated; I built a new box, made it Windo

It does. The relevant snippet from my .emacs.d: ;; For tramp with my bash config, the prompt of which terminates ;; in a newline. Tell tramp how to detect the end of my prompt. (setq shell-prompt-pattern " ") The value of the s
