I bet that Thomas and Patrick could do something like have dynamically created tests, where there are multiple versions of an exploit, so that they test the same skill but in different ways. You might have a challenge that tests whether yo

I was thinking it was a BOFH ("Bastard Operator From Hell") reference. [0] The BOFH is a fictional sysadmin who is worse than any you have ever had, in entertaining ways. He basically does exactly the things the OP mentioned, whi

Both were just teams of obstructionists. "Oh you need something today? ... get a jira ticket made ... work assigned out next month." It is possible that you might have a different opinion of the situation if vie

The language is strong, but pretty much encapsulates the impotent anger I feel even __thinking__ about interacting with the TSA. On the rare occasions when I must, my anxiety and fears match very closely to the GP's post's langua

It doesn't make it better, but it's a __very strong hint__ that perhaps I should look more closely at Go. Experts matter, and it would be foolish of me as a developer to discount the experience of these guys -- they've liter

I think it's really interesting to differentiate the license from the e-book -- rather than breaking the "e-book" category into two. Thanks for making me think about that in a different way.

Thanks for such a good explanation. When I first saw artifacts of things generated by code in our repo, I had a big WTF moment, but it made a lot of sense once someone pointed out that it was Rather Handy for catching bugs in the code that

Thank you for the explanation. The guide just said "Play with them ...", so it was not obvious (at least to me teraflop) what was different about them.

It's possible that he didn't actually do that, and was only blogging the fantasy ("Man, I'd love to troll her with increasingly stupid cat posters until she leaves me alone ..."), but it's also possible that we

It's related, though -- it's a process you can do to help minimize the impact of bikeshedding by baiting it with something innocuous. E.g., you design your awesome nuclear power plant, and put a REALLY ugly bikeshed, so that the r

The person commenting on his pull request was not being a snob. He was making sure there was architectural coherence across the board. This is actually the essence of the article. When people criticize things in our code that w

My Domino's Pizza online account remembers both my address and my last/favorite orders. (I could even let it remember my card number, but I don't.) Ordering pizza consists of visiting the website, selecting "Yep, that sa

Agreed. They could do a variety of things: - Make a new note each month - Use a private github repo, and store a version controlled note - ... OK, Dropbox is probably simpler. I suspect that none of those are as convenient to use as Everno

I think this is rather a stream-of-consciousness style blog of the progress he made -- note that later on he said, "I eventually got a job in industry, and learned that everything I thought I knew was wrong".

It seems like it's just a "published" google doc. I've made one that describes the process, if you are interested: http://goo.gl/Ykq88g

This is beautiful! Great job! I have a minor complaint. When I zoom in, the rate at which the globe is rotated does not seem to scale down adequately -- a few pixels, and what I was trying to zoom in on (e.g., Hawaii) zips off the screen.

It might have been nice if someone had pregenerated a list of files from, say, a fresh BSD installation, and then randomly chose locations to put target files, and had that as an option (rather than using your own data).

He might mean that he uses Jetbrains' IDEs with git for nearly everything, but feels that using it to merge things is madness. It seems strange, but I really like having a console-based workflow with my VCS. I can leverage grep, shell

Then you'd grant access to ~/my-media-collection/ , or to each of the filetypes in your collection.

I would love it if, for things like my work repo, I could count "Don't break the chain of weekday commits" -- I would prefer not to be penalized for not working on the weekend. :)

You could simply say, "I don't give estimates in under 3-hour increments, because there are inevitably other fire-extinguishing and support activities that interrupt even the most trivial tasks." Sometimes I get interrupted w

I'm not sure if you are joking, but I have a linguist friend who mines Twitter for things like evolving language usage. She shares some pretty interesting things that she learns from it, too. I expect that being able to do that with a

How many people are in your neighborhood? Perhaps you could crowdfund part of it and say, "We will pay you X to wire up our neighborhood ...", and defray the cost enough to make it viable.

You can disable the "open all the tabs I had open last time" behavior in the settings, though. Is Firefox more clairvoyant about what you want (e.g., startup with arguments does not load prior tabs, but normal startup does)?

"Patriot is binary-compatible with Git ..." sudo cp /usr/bin/git /usr/bin/patriot ... of course that is likely not enough, as all the porcelain still says "git". ;)

My 3 year old daughter asks every night (for the past month) for "The Napping House", in which we have verious sleeping creatures stacked on top, with much repetition. She ALWAYS asks me to swap the adjectives -- e.g., "snooz
