I used jEdit for many years on linux and windows, but development has been stalled for a long time. Presumably moment dropped off quickly after the author Slava moved on to other projects. It's a shame. I'm trying http://www.vicoapp.com/

I don't regret working up the ladder at BigCo. I'm ready for something different now, that's all, and I wanted to share my tips for folks going down that path. Please don't interpret the fact that I'm not currently working at BigCo anymor

Agreed this is somewhat debatable. But the language "bare minimum" still applies I think. Remember, this is at a large software development shop, so there will still be dozens of windows machines. Google is the only company I have heard o

The MoinMoin wiki eventually was successfully adopted by IT including backups, high availability, etc. Yes, there is pain and pushback when you do these things, but in this case hindsight has shown it to absolutely a huge win for the compa

A fair point. I don't recall how much if any I documented what I learned at that time. This was when I was still an undergraduate. We didn't have a wiki or any great documentation sharing system. I probably sent a mail to our mailing lis

Copy/Paste actually works in OS X. This is huge. Sleep works on OS X laptops. Sound and video just work. Linux will never fix these things. I ran linux for 10 years and those 3 issues were there that entire time. Yes, I miss many things,

Everyone always asks this, but compression is most cleanly handled by your web server with Content-encoding: gzip, no? Why do we need to compress and minify markup and script files one at a time by hand?

Anyone got a cache? It's throwing an error that the record has been deleted.

NetFlix, Rhapsody, Linode. If the free versions were not adequate (they are), I'd pay for mint.com, lucidchart.com and OKCupid.com.

Probably not in the short term, but export to JSON is something I could easily do. I'm curious exactly where you would plan to embed your data and for what purposes.

Thanks for the input. Definitely making the whole line clickable is easy to do and I've thought about it before. No import yet, I know. I debated whether to build import before or after posting and ended up going to feedback as early as p

I'm at the point now of showing it to folks, getting user feedback, and deciding what to do with it based on the user response. If I get some users, I'll continue to enhance it.

This sucks. The part I can't stand is that these seem to be ongoing, easily trackable/predictable crimes. I wonder if travelers would contribute to a kickstarter project to post a few people at a smaller but high-risk train station and see

Can you double check that? You have a space between -off and -bool, is that correct? I tried it, restarting finder with "killall -KILL Finder" but I still see the animation.

I went through the poster's exact situation in 2002 after my first company slowly died following 9/11. I think the assumptions you are making about the Founders are not well grounded. How do you know they are not jerks? Here's how I see i

Nice link. There are lots of metrics, but in this case, I'm talking about multi-language, large projects where considering tons of code and not enough engineers, there's no bandwidth to even compute this stuff. Thus I'm sticking with the e
