I really like listening to online streams like soma.fm or di.fm when coding. Not just because their sounds are great (they are!) and put me into the zone (they do!), but because it keeps me motivated when I get the inner urge to click aroun

Since it's well below the checkout form (and because I've missed it on my first buy): if you pay more than 10$ you get seven more soundtracks, including the great ones from Wind-up Knight and Antigravity.

I'm a touch typer, but not in the standard sense. I don't look up the keys while writing and use most of my ten fingers, but I don't use them like it's taught in touch typing. I know exactly where all the keys are and I intuitively press th

If the ad code is inserted via JavaScript, then yes, the problem is real. Most ad code is inserted via JS, e.g. Google's AdSense. But according to https://www.google.com/adsense/support/bin/answer.py?answer=... AdSense isn't available ove

I found that structure of teaching awesome! If you already know some JavaScript you can skip the beginning and start right away at 8, "Nested Functions". Otherwise if you know any other programming language just start with the lessons and r

Of course it's okay to outsource things; and it's also okay to outsource critical stuff. I'm doing that too. But, outsourced or not, critical things should be as redundant as needed, and not relying on a single point of failure. If in a hos

I'm sorry if you didn't understand "relying" as I meant it. I'm not a native speaker, so my assumption of the meaning of "relying" may have been wrong. I'll try to elaborate: yes, there are of course certain things that you cannot avoid. Th

Poor analogy; if the lifts break, just use the stairs. Note that I've written "relying", as in "depending on the cloud without any alternative backup". Depending on the cloud means depending on something you cannot influence.

Note that I've written "relying", not "hosting", meaning I'm well aware of the fact that using "the cloud" as an additional layer of capacity can be a good thing. But relying on the cloud means that you're giving up control. Power outage

Again no receipt, this time because the person selling it was avoiding tax... You should always insist on getting a receipt, so the shop owner has to pay taxes. Withholding taxes hurts the country's economy and only plays in th

We have a tool called "jhbuild" that keeps track of all the dependencies and stuff. In short, just get jhbuild from git.gnome.org, build it and do a "jhbuild bootstreap && jhbuild build". More complete instruction can be found in th
