I use ical to pull my exchange and google calendars down, then a bit of applescript to update org-mode: https://github.com/dustin/snippets/blob/master/applescript/i... It's gross, but it means I can see everything I care about in one pla

I just have a save hook to do all the work. I'm not even sure what all the work is, but emacs does it for me.

Woah. I had to check the username and date because I swear I wrote that. I was closer to 15, though.

None of these things are similar to couchapp: * They all require two servers running (redis + a web server) * None provides a framework for building an application. * None provides n-way replication. * None provides offlin

Depends on which one you're looking at. Alex's repo has a tremendous amount of work. I've been doing little work since the initial build and installer since work picked up. I went ahead and merged mine up.

You can add and replace, but you cannot remove drives.

While I didn't make the suggestion initially, I can see where it may have come from and might be able to expand on it some. couchdb has a concept called couchapp (think rails for webapps written in javascript) which allows the entire applic

It could work with my boxee setup. It could work on my iPad while I'm on the way to, or in the mountains. It could work when my connectivity sucks / is saturated. It could have the things I want when I'm ready for them.

TiVo itself isn't huge, but pretty much everyone has a DVR these days. I just use that as an example because 10-11 years ago nobody knew what it was, but they knew they didn't need it... until they tried it.

I had a lot of TiVo conversations like this ten or eleven years ago. Lots of people who never used the technology would tell me why it didn't make sense to them.

I think it'd look like it looks for many of us. I go to a web site and see a little orange button that I can click and it will add this web site flipbook. Yay, now I can read the web site like a magazine with consistent and readable formatt

I don't see why it's worth paying so much money just to be able to do your normal work and see a Windows logo all day.

The iPad's storage would've been adequate 10 years ago? I'm pretty sure I didn't have a laptop with 32-64GB of storage in 2000 and I did just fine. My current laptop drive is about 100GB (SSD) and it's pretty roomy (considering I store my

...and if the publisher decides to effect new control over the DVDs I've already purchased? Is it theft that I do not return them?

It came up in a conversation around the office last week, but I haven't heard of a deployment in years.

To be fair, not much would make me feel dirtier than PHP on Windows.

I wonder how many twitter clients are going to recognize that as a link: http://twitter.com/#!/dlsspy/status/18062117684903937 Twitter itself does, but tweetdeck does not.

I'm a pretty hard-core CLI person. I spend the majority of my time on mac in either terminal or emacs (cocoa emacs, though I rarely use the menu). Before I was running OS X, my laptops ran NetBSD. My workflow changed very little (I got ov

github has been profitable for a while now because of people like me who give them money for a great service. If something like this happened, they would stop being profitable. It's hard to imagine what they'd find in a private repo that w

You left out the code where you acquire the database connection and need to release it before returning as well as propagate the success or failure of the operation.

This was the feedback from the twisted community when it launched. There were lots of issues they found in a cursory glance. My complaint (and I heard the same complaint from a developer as recently as yesterday) was that they tossed away

javascript has way too much in common with scheme. python is practical, but not different enough to really teach you much. I program in three languages on most days (though not the same three all the time). These artificial constraints

I like to polish my commits and make them be concise, informative and correct. I wrote a tool to help with some of that: http://dustin.github.com/2010/03/28/git-test-sequence.html It takes time to write a good change, but it takes way,

I wanted to give you a non-anonymous +1 on this. Your point about the level playing field is a great one. My preference is obviously to just avoid the black boxes where I can, but it's not particularly surprising to think that the true col
