I'm intrigued by Dragonfly. Why do you like it better than what is available in Chrome? Basically, what are its selling points?

To be fair, if you look at Soledad O'Brien's track record it is heavy with race focused coverage. It's her bailiwick and if I were Michael Arrington I would have at least been alert to this fact. If a national level reporter with a reputati

To really copy BitKeeper Mercurial would need to start charging for use and come out in Basic, Pro and Enterprise editions, with things like BAM support disabled at the lowest level. Fortunately they don't do this.

Definitely not for me. I need a good project manager AND a good business manager on hand. Learned this after some lean, depression filled, years. Once I admitted this to myself and acted accordingly my income shot up from poverty levels to

ack is a really great search tool in general (and one that I use constantly now that I have "discovered" it)... I had no idea there was an integration of it into TM. I'll def. be taking a look at this, thanks!

I bill less than 8 hours a day (normally) but I work that much. I just don't feel like I should bill for what I call "stupid time" or getting stuck on something that, were I faster and more knowledgable, would only take 1/3 the time.

The screenshot does not show any IP addresses at all. The drop down does say something about Falun Gong and the buttons do say what the article claims (about "Attack" and what not) but aside from that, the rest is just hearsay. So we have a

Frothing at the mouth over other people's choice of computer or vehicle or clothing, excessive "keep off my property" signage, getting mad at being "looked at"... all signs of the same thing. Lack of self-image.

Re-enable displaying upvotes. It's a great way to see what others think of a certain comment. Without it, considering topics I don't know much about, it's more difficult to know if I'm looking at brilliant insight or FUD.

I'm 42 and have never successfully conquered my sleep issues. I am still a late night person and will stay up all night every now and then just to get back to a "normal" cycle (which never lasts). Traveling abroad highlights my problem. In

There needs to be a certain level of skill but frankly, looking at the long term and with the right individual, I'd take a carpenter over a rockstar any day.

Are you in China now? I'm hearing (like, today) that is specifically being blocked. Here is a link discussing it: http://advocacy.globalvoicesonline.org/2011/03/20/china-pptp...

Actually, I'm going to go sign up for an invite over at phpfog... it looks like something I could make real use of. In a way, this incident may turn out to be a boon for the folks over there.

Tell them they should be grateful to even have a job. That they should put their noses to the grindstone and be happy they can put food on the table and aren't in the unemployment line... oh wait, sorry... that's what the publisher at the n

That's really nice, Bermi. Good job. So what resources did you find useful for learning to best use node.js?

One thing to consider is that it depends very much on how you define "success".

Jason, I remember you from back in the day... enjoyed your flickr series of photos where you blogged about setting up the then new Textdrive data center. That even got me to install open solaris and use it as a headless server for a while (

The example of a rager they give reminds me (somewhat ashamedly) of myself last summer at the Expo in China. I "know" China and Chinese people so the way people in massive crowds walk in China is no surprise to me but at that Expo, with its

Rockstar programmers, eh? What about ninja programmers... they are pretty cool too. Oh well, either way I'm not a rockstar... more of a guitar tech, so... best of luck to them.

The number one reason would be debugging. The debugging environment as it relates to PHP with Netbeans is simpler to configure and easier to use than with Eclipse. There are other reasons but I feel they are more subjective than the debuggi

Ugh, I hope not. I've wedded Netbeans to my PHP development process (and projects) rather tightly so the thought of having to switch (especially to something I find inferior like Eclipse) makes me nervous.

Anecdotal means "Not necessarily true or reliable, because based on personal accounts rather than facts or research" so the claim that it his mother is, itself, anecdotal. Kind of inherent in casual, internet conversation... hard to avoid.
