It looks like you're forced to use a named lambda.

There needn't be One Test Suite To Rule Them All. I like having something similar to zombie.js during dev, then Selenium during CI triggered on git push, perhaps with Testswarm scheduled to run daily.

The proposer suggests here http://goo.gl/4P4Wa (slide 39) and here http://goo.gl/p7ReQ that local rebinding violates the expectations of the callee, but it just seems to me to be very unintuitive.

Membership of BNP is incompatible with being a police officer because it's incompatible with the police force's equal opportunities policy. Police officers are contractually obliged to follow the policy. Rightly or wrongly (rightly imo) tha

I was Eric Schmidt, I would be delighted by this article because it's evidence that people no longer treat Google as a search engine that finds relevant webpages, but as an oracle that gives you the best advice and recommendations. And that

I've never heard it used in a positive way. I certainly meant it negatively here.

Neat. Can you apply custom CSS?

That's actually the claim made by the original article. As a commenter there points out, though, if it's harder to resell your old machine you may be less likely to upgrade to a new one. So there is pressure in the other direction. The real

I don't recognise the current Rails codebase from this comment. There's certainly nothing incomprehensible about it if you grok common Ruby metaprogramming idioms. I wish the idea of "Ruby magic" would die in flames!

Do you know of any research supporting that? It sounds plausible to me but a quick search turned up nothing.

If you enjoyed this, you should definitely check out http://http://vimcasts.org . I caught Drew's talk at Arrrrcamp on Friday and he is a fantastic explicator. His Vim book for PragProg should be excellent.

Isn't it odd that there is _no_ physical structure between 10^-35 (Planck length) and 10^-24 (neutrino)? That's a massive gap compared to scales larger than the neutrino. Is there are reason?

Magit for everyday use because buffers are split into expandable/collapsible sections which makes navigation a breeze (e.g. for adding hunks) vc-annotate is a great interface for git-blame (Magit doesn't have this). vc-annotate-next/prev-re

So you can do this in all modern browsers without installing a toolbar or jeopardising privacy. What's the benefit?

His distinction is maybe analogous to binary (readable) and source+makefile (writable). Minor point: "text" here covers all sorts of artistic creations (TV, music, fine art), not just the written word.

You're out by a factor of a 10^4. You forgot to divide by 1000 to get KW from W, and you accidentally scaled everything up by 10, too. Still, the correct figure is meaningless too.

I'd love to see how you come up with that number.

"Insteadsheet" sounds stilted and dead on the tongue. "Hypernumbers" has rhythm and asonance. Also, can we please have some care over use/mention here, Quine's turning in his grave!

Prague Rent: Centre of town is expensive by any standard because much of the property is for tourist use of owned by expats. It drops quickly as you move away from pretty bits (check out Zizkov or Andel) €500-2500 for two bed. Bills: €30 in

I have a customer who swears that whenever I tell him I've run into a difficult problem, by the third time I've explained it to him, I've solved it. I'll tell him he's my rubber duck.

I prefer explanatory variable and method names to comments. Comments lie: they cannot be specced or debugged, and few if any developers take responsibility to edit and maintain comments made by others. As a rule of thumb, I comment only whe

Yes, but two major difficulties mitigate against its adoption. First, only a tiny number of people will actually devise, implement, and install their own shortener. Perhaps the major blogging platforms would adopt it, but that still leaves
