CL is obviously in their full rights to do so, but I really wish they could have waited a couple weeks before they did it. I'm moving to another state this Tuesday and PM is especially helpful when you don't know the neighborhoods.

For that exact reason, I usually to put all my build scripts into a bash file, and just call that bash file from jenkins.

Not really interested in this specific argument about whether or not the OP has real statistics, but I thought this was interesting (and includes sources, which I haven't checked). http://www.catalyst.org/publication/256/buying-power htt

I can't imagine anything more apt than a conversation about this subject on a forum made up of people who hold their own intelligence in a high regard. I assure you that your definition of "stupid" is short-sighted. I've pre-judged a good

Click the "Start The Story" button (if you see it). It animates through a scene in a side-scrolling manner, but there's no manual scrolling.

I keep getting stopped up at the first step: Buy an Apple Computer. If I can ever build IOS apps on Linux, I may move on to step two.

> Do you really invoice clients for "11 hours, 3 minutes"? I would certainly hope not. I personally tend to round to the half day (including down to zero), and sometimes to the next hour depending on the client, the frequency of work,

While I generally agree with and recommend getting an accountant, I've found a personal satisfaction over the past 8 years of doing my own taxes (10 years of freelance development). It can be tedious and confusing, but it forces me to stay

Absolutely. I certainly understand Why it works the way it does. Especially when dealing with 3rd party modules, it's good to be explicit about which version of a submodule should be included. But having a setting that allows me to keep

Solid points. To add to your safety point regarding flying cars: as bad as people are at driving in 2 dimensions, I can't imagine how horrible we would be driving in 3.

This is exactly why I call downtown (in New York and Chicago, at least) a suburb. I grew up in the city (Chicago and Brooklyn). The local city folk do NOT live in the city center. It's mostly tourists and people from the suburbs or out o

The hard part is finding the "well-written source code". Sure there are plenty that have been battle-tested for years, which we can refer to, but every day we come across tens to hundreds of github links. Some are legible. Some are cleve

Very cool implementation, and fantastic site and video! I grabbed the source to see what it would take to write a mysql plugin. As far as I can tell, it's fairly well tied into mongodb[1]. It seems this would benefit a great deal if the m

Back when I was on Windows (Went 100% linux about a 18 months ago), I had one favorite tool that I still miss to this day called TimeSnapper [1]. The underlying concept is pretty simple. It takes a screenshot every x seconds, allowing you

It's a lazy mistake. The tools are provided by way of a command or two on just about any platform available to any programmer. Hashing information and matching against said hash are problems that have been solved and simplified in as many

I started out with bzr-git a long time ago for small one-off projects where I wasn't getting too deep into the process. Well, that's not true, when I First dug into DVCS, I tried all three, and since I was on windows back then (all-linux,

by enobrev 15y ago
This is probably going to be a fairly unpopular opinion, since it seems git has won the popularity contest, but this is why I've always preferred bzr. Sure, it's a bit slower, but the interface is consistent. There aren't as many commands

Thanks for this. Been using Cyanogen since I had my G1. Hadn't heard of MIUI before.

I'm not sure I understand what's so "faux" about the openness of Android. It's not just an idea: http://source.android.com/source/downloading.html Being that it's an open source project, why wouldn't the carriers have the freedom to add o

Education is required before a boycott could possibly be effective. As it stands, a boycott would amount to a headline resembling: "Hacker News Boycotts Media over SOPA." When questioned, [media exec] responded "We didn't Notice a thing -

It seems that it's actually 3 times the size of the sun rather than 1/3 While GRS 1915+105 is a black-hole pipsqueak with a mass only 14 times that of our sun, IGR J17091-3624 is tinier still, estimated to be a mere three times as massive

That's exactly what I was referring to. You can set it to add a line to the log when ajax calls are made, and fortunately a trace for where they are made from, but you have to go to the Network tab and click on the actual request to see the

I generally agree. The primary thing I find myself going back to Firebug for is debugging ajax calls, since I get the fully expandable request / response info inline along with console output. Chromium can show that an ajax call was made

Far more than security. Most of society is built on the honor system. In half-full bar at an hour when there isn't a bouncer (usually before 9pm in NYC), the only thing keeping twenty or thirty people from pouring their own booze for free

You're probably right. I personally have no idea. I've sustained a site with ads once in my career and I've never understood why anyone even bothered looking at the ads much less clicking them. I figure if a site's ads are annoying I can
