Homebrew does not use sudo, installs everything to /usr/local (which keeps major OS X updates from destroying your dev environment), and it's much easier to edit and contribute recipes back to the main project (for me, anyway).

As the person who made the Santa Claus argument, I'll say that this is spot-on. I feel like I can hold my own in a serious discussion, but it really does get tiring making the same arguments over and over again, especially to people who ten

I'm not sure he's necessarily talking about Farmigo, he could just as easily be talking about another company. However, I will say that the Farmigo idea does not seem to be super "disruptive", as I'm sure I've heard about CSA food delivery

Maybe it's an example of the Hawthorne Effect: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hawthorne_effect Unfortunately, there probably isn't an ethical way to subject people to medical testing without their knowledge.

On second thought, I would dispute calling it a reductio ad ridiculum. We obviously share the opinion that serious belief in Santa Claus as an adult is ridiculous, but in reality belief in Santa Claus and belief in God share equal amounts o

Haha yes, you're totally correct. It was intended more as an illustrative analogy than a formal point of debate, but I take your point.

It may be insensitive to be so blunt about it, but I think the longer you're an atheist the harder it gets to keep a "live and let live" attitude. I liken it to having a friend who truly, sincerely believes in Santa Claus. At first, you mig

Most parts of my projects go pretty nicely, but getting paid has always been a pain after the first couple of months on a project. Getting a deposit up front definitely helps with clients paying on time the first couple of months. I work wi

I think this generally does a good job of simplifying the terminology without falling into "durr, people who don't speak English natively are dumb" territory.

Oh I like that idea, just registered sdcrafted.com to do something similar for San Diego.

Hmm breakfast with Linus would be cool, but you can talk to him online too. Also, this has a very heavy male bias.

Got my pre-order in. I want to keep it for myself, but I sold Steve Jobs action figures on eBay for around $700 each, and I think this one will go for more :)

I was just looking at the comments, and I'm kind of surprised that spambots aren't smart enough to skip a site when comment links are nofollowed (and Blogspot seems to be terrible at blocking them in the first place). Seems like it would be

I still (sort of) work in the adult industry :) I worked at a big porn company a few years ago, and I do consulting for a porn startup now. I have other clients too, but it's a pretty fun industry to work in (fun parties, lots of great scal

Well, I mean, there's a reason all the cool kids are using git these days, and it's not just to "look cool".

And woe be to the adult company who registers a .xxx domain and redirects it to their .com site.

by jarin 15y ago
I can think of a ton of great domains, but at $250 or so a pop (including taxes) that's probably not going to happen. Nobody I know in the adult industry is rushing to register anything either (except a few who are doing it purely as a defe

Probably because that adds 6x more possibilities to the search space (and that's assuming consistent transposition in a certain direction).

I don't think it's trolling at all. It's just taking the same wildly successful (traffic-wise) image board concept and remaking it for the exact opposite audience (one who would never participate on 4chan, and has the added bonus of being a

You can use something like http://foundrs.com/home just to lay down a basic agreement and work out the details later.

You explain the situation to them, and ask them if they'd be ok with 5% for the idea, expanding to more if they take an active role and actually help execute the idea. If they're not OK with that, explain that it just isn't worth it to you.

I still click around in MacVim sometimes (mostly for navigating deep NERDtree hierarchies and for selecting text within a line). It's all about what's going to be fastest and take the least amount of mental context switching. I didn't choos

The one thing I would disagree with is that Github's issue tracking still needs some serious love (although it has improved significantly since launch). Mainly I would say that it works great for projects with relatively few contributors (l

Killing a single mining worker can make a difference very early in the game if they're using a very timing-heavy strategy, but that's really only at the very tip-top levels of play.
