I was thinking the same thing, except that I rarely find it tedious. One important thing about Eve Online is that there are hundreds if not thousands of viable ways to play the game - many of which bear little or no resemblance to the other

As I describe language structure in Go to people, I keep telling them that "go fmt" is an amazing tool that you will wish you had for every language. I am met with many incredulous stares at the suggestion that a program that messes with y

I am admittedly still a Lisp (et. al.) rookie, but isn't the entire point of Scheme that it introduces hygienic macros? Or are you referring to some other (perhaps sarcastic) notion of macro hygiene?

Granted, I really do need to get out and see the world. But I had thought that 'burner' cell phones were quite ubiquitous in the developing world?

The 'big problem' with callbacks isn't the callbacks themselves - it's the resulting difficulty to the developer to keep track of the flow of control. This is analogous to goto's - programming with goto is a nightmare, but all code 'compi

Seems like a natural place for an application of a 1st-order markov model - one state for every entity (file), record the load events from each previously loaded file to the next file, and then your cache can predictively load a set of file

Only so much an intern can do in a summer, I suppose.

I'm having trouble thinking of reasons why bitbucket is used so much less than github - or at least why it seems that way. It's looking pretty damn good to me right now!

Package installation is a known pain point in python. The problem is one of a plethora of half-baked solutions. For now, you can get most of the way by trying 'pip install X' or 'easy_install X', but there are important edge cases. It's bei

I tried using oh-my-zsh, but all of a sudden bringing up a new terminal (on OS X) went from taking ~1 second to ~5 seconds. Totally killed my interest in zsh. I'm sure there's a way to make it all work nicely, but bash has been doing just f

It's even worse than that - if you tag off at the wrong station, your monthly pass gets locked in at that other station. You can't change it. I had a friend who traveled TO work on a shorter route than when he traveled back FROM work - so

Clipper is a terrible service but not for the reasons outlined in this post. This post misses the point that tagging on and tagging off is a simple and relatively elegant solution to the problem posed by Caltrain charging by distance trav

Is twitter imploding? What's going on there? Maybe their costs were much higher than we thought 'per tweet'?

Contempt of court is contempt of court - I see Twitter waiting until the last day as a philosophical stand while their hands were otherwise tied. I don't fault them here.

I was about 5 minutes in to the docs to set up a quicksilver task to do this - thanks for helping me avoid re-inventing the wheel. Yours was the better 'hack'. ;)

You should probably delete that, I'm thinking that that's a private key. It's not a 'password' but it's still a secret, and you just pastebin'ed it for everyone. But I'm just guessing -- I don't know too well what a private key would look l

Wow, that sounds fantastic. Checking it out now. Thanks! (That sounded very shill-ish... I'm not associated with these products. <g>)

I personally don't like the 'flavor' of most Perl that I've seen or written - and it was my first programming language - but it's obvious that it remains one of the most relevant languages in terms of shipped code. That being said, I don't

This website is blocked as 'pornography' at my workplace. So... that's interesting.

Why not use a cookie, or html5 storage? Is security really a concern here?

The page /itself/ is reprehensible. The amount of ads I had to close to read the article... Does anyone have an article on the subject that isn't pointing to such an awful site?

Why does SVG fill you with dread? (Honest question.)

Just in case you missed it, another replier mentioned an additional package, VintageEx. I just gave it a try and all of a sudden all the things I was still missing from vim are in ST2! I recommend giving that a shot, but I do completely und

Excellent - Thanks!

If you haven't heard of it, ST2 has something called "Vintage Mode" which adopts a fairly large subset of the Vi/m commands. It will completely change the command set of ST2 and gets close enough to Vi for most of my needs. Notably absent i

No reason they couldn't be electric. One of the big barriers for electric cars is a short running length and long recharge cycle. Neither is an issue if your 'car' is just an (autonomous) taxi service that runs off to recharge itself when y

To date, all Google autonomous cars have had two occupants - a driver (who is strictly hands-off - she's only there in case something goes wrong) and a tech who monitors the data to make sure things are proceeding as expected.

I drove behind one yesterday as it returned to Google HQ in Mountain View. It was pretty exciting. It was also rush hour, and people didn't like that it tried so hard to give a safe amount of space in front and behind itself - it ended up b
