In the past most people prefixed their field names with the type name. Nowadays, the most common thing is to put types in their own module, and use the module system to sort out any conflict. Qualified imports can add a prefix, but you can

Note that captchas are not (only) to prevent brute forcing passwords, but (also) to prevent bots from signing up for accounts. This would not work against that.

I had the same feeling, but maybe the Netherlands are just cheap. You can get phone/internet/tv combinations here from €40-70. Although the fastest internet connection you get there is usually 'only' 120Mbit.

So it's not broken, only broken by default. Because having to add three lines of command line flags to get sane behavior doesn't seem like a good default to me.

Perhaps duplicating the first letter would have been a good idea. So 'gget', 'ffav' etc.

Safari still does not parse partial dates, i.e. new Date("2012-05-04") gives 'Invalid Date'. Very annoying.

I think learning to cook is an interesting comparison. Would people react the way they do now if someone wanted to learn how to cook instead of learning how to code? I think learning to cook is a really worthwhile skill. It will teach you a

This really only applies if you do 'web scripting', applying some dynamic stuff or AJAX speedups to web pages. Once you start building an actual application (say, Gmail sized), the lack of modules, types, versioning, etc. really starts to h

In the Netherlands this is illegal to ask during a job interview (or perhaps in general, as a boss, I'm not sure). What country was this in?

I've seen people armed with machine guns at Miami, but that was about a year after 9/11, I think.

Why is it nonsense? It's arguing exactly for your solution: a smart way to run external commands and capture their errors.

Actually, you can, with sparse checkouts. They've been in since git 1.7, if I remember correctly. It's not very user friendly yet, and you do retain the entire path from the repository root. See for example here: http://vmiklos.hu/blog/spa

Nice article overall, but this stood out for me: > Again, this is an exceptional event, so it's not worth investing too much developer time into. I have to disagree here. Exceptional events are exceptionally important here, since so muc

A nice solution here is to have a 'traditional' application with new page loads for links, so that search engines can follow them. You then enrich this application with Javascript, placing click handlers on the links to replace their defaul

Google is especially bad in this regard. I'm a software developer, and I can probably write a pretty decent bug report. I'm also available to further look into the issue, and can use development tools. I help fix bugs if I find them in many

Interesting that all the replies here are negative. Am I really the only one who welcomes these changes? Of the people I want to share with, only a few also use Reader. There are much more of them on Google+. This also allows for more fine-

Be careful with this though: if you have a merge ready to push, and you pull with rebase, your merge will be 'flattened' and all commits in it duplicated on your current branch. I've been bitten by this a couple of times.

I don't think you're right. I think the geeks you describe like new things, and are passionate about the things they like. Some of these new things become 'the next big thing' but a lot of them don't.

Off topic: They use the Semantic Versioning Specification ( http://semver.org/ ). Interesting, I had never heard of this. Are there many projects using it? It sounds very similar to the Package Versioning Policy ( http://www.haskell.org/

The XKCD criticism of the 'bad' password has the same problems. How does the hacker know I have this kind of password (starting with a real english word, for example)?
