Unfortunately I am from Europe so I will have to take a pass on your workshop. I like the idea of finding a good list of introductory texts by looking at college courses and will definitely check that out. I am aware that practice is going

I had not really considered college yet, but I think I would rather focus on self study for the moment. I like the idea of having a few good starting points that I can grow my knowledge from in a "what would I want to know today" kind of wa

Maybe to a lesser extent on Hacker news, but I have definitely heard people attributing success to luck or just being at the right place at the right time more then a few times.

As a tip, if you enjoy quick startup times, you might want to try running emacs in daemon mode. Just fire up a emacs --daemon instance, and you can then use emacsclient to instantly connect to it.

I've been using git for little while now, and started out using rebase in the manner described here. I did some experimenting first using gitk and a few git branches to grok what rebase actually did, and then figured I pretty much always wa

I can understand that, but it's easy enough to specify the apt repository as a parameter to the gems command. If you really want it as the default, it's trivial to alias that. There's something to be said for just letting your packages have

Or you get a hacked up version that does not behave as you'd expect it to. E.g.: if you install gems using apt on ubuntu or debian, you'll get a modified version that tries to install rubygems from one of their own repositories. Also, it wa
