Yes, it does. The added discounts, added features (free video streaming, free MP3s from time to time, free 2-day shipping, occasional free ebooks), and convenience more than make up for the membership cost. It's irrational not to use Amaz

I was never able to get Command-T to work. CtrlP works out of the box without extra work.

Pretty hard without a tripod. I don't know why Chris didn't bring one.

I am that cynical. Seeing pictures of kids holding up signs that say "Thank you for protecting us!" next to their proud, deluded parents at an airport, everything about the TSA makes me sick. Edit: And then, this: http://boingboing.net/201

Not so much any more. I was laid off a mere day later. :(

I've tried that, and when it complained that the card was linked to an account, it wouldn't let me proceed until I logged in. At the time, my account was locked down because I had the audacity to go to a conference in a town 80 miles away a

No, that's why he hired me in the first place. He knows I can do all this fancy stuff. He just won't let me.

Hm. I think my choice of words weren't adequate to describe my situation. It's not that I don't know how to do other things. It's that the things that I'm capable of doing put me in a narrow niche. With a long-standing back injury and medic

They don't. They find a lot of "programmers" who can hammer out PHP. The talented programmers who end up writing PHP don't do it because it was their first choice. It was probably their tenth. Or twentieth. PHP is one of those tools that yo

It's a nice theory... Until you look at the sheer range of quality of postings on Facebook. Have you seen Lamebook? It's utterly mind-boggling. I don't believe that identity has even the slightest effect on stupidity. Facebook proves that,

My boss is. Forcing me, that is. I don't really have a choice. I can't afford to move (no, seriously, I can't), and there is no other work that I'm able to do. I dislike PHP. I wish my boss would let me explore alternatives. :(

I've been using the Happy Hacking Keyboard Lite2 for a few months now, and I can't imagine going back to anything else. Its small size and intelligent, minimalist layout just works for me. It's well worth the $70 I paid for it.

No, the majority of that overhead is from the use of `iostream`s (which are known to be pretty bloated compared to `printf` and friends), the use of exceptions (try/catch is a morass of stack-unwinding code), and the added bloat of class in

Quite the contrary. I hate on PHP pretty hard... Because writing a PHP web application is my day job. My own complaints of the language (which others have already voiced) are problems that I run into frequently enough to have flown into a w

There's still the problem of tutorials: There are tons of bad tutorials out there that teach people to write insecure, sloppy, and un-substantive code. The result is a plethora of bad PHP programmers who don't seem to understand seemingly s

It may seem that way, but you need only learn one command per day. Start with `i` for insert mode and `<ESC>` to return to normal mode. and `:x` to save and quit. From there, when you want to know what a command does, go to normal m

tmux splits shells into windows. The suggested workflow is to have vim in one split window, and other shells in other windows. tmux has the benefit of a keybaord-driven interface to jump between terminals, so it's not unlike having Emacs

His ideas aren't realistic, no, but you have to respect a guy that so consistently and fervently holds on to his ideas. Few people are as consistent.

No, here's how you fix it: Treat them as students in need of an education. Ignore all else. They are students. They need education. Everything else - income, place of birth, place of residence, race, sexual orientation, anything else - is c

Also using a lot less powerful hardware. The Raspberry Pi is using a BCM2835, a 700MHz single-core ARM11. The Cotton Candy is using an undisclosed quad-core Cortex A9 at 1.2GHz. The best information I can find points to it being probably an

It looks like they've gotten access to Samsung's Exynos 4412, which is definitely not a sub-$20 part.

It's baffling to me that so many people seem unwilling to accept the idea that maybe, perhaps, we've learned a few lessons about building safe nuclear reactors over the last 50 years. It's also baffling to me that the widespread ecological

But they can't go bankrupt until the movie studios themselves go insolvent. The problem is these studios are rolling in cash. Even if they were to lose significant piles of it, they'd simply be bough tout by another large corporation that c

Well, with the exception of a class tree (which I've had trouble using in the past), those are all the reasons I just use a text editor. So, I guess I still don't understand. You see, I have file/project trees, warning/error buffers, build
