git-flow is just an easy way to manage your branching. There's nothing locking you into it, since it's just a branch naming system and shortcuts for regular old git commands, so you might as well just try it. I think you'll f

iOS is a little more strict about how applications use memory. Apps need to expect to be terminated at any time and be able to suspend their state with a few seconds' notice. The reason is to give you better battery life and fewer issu

They're not saying the universe is a light hologram like the one on your credit card, they're saying it might be holographic in the sense that our 3d space could be a projection of a 2d boundary. The idea came about as a way to re

What if there was some kind of public/privately funded foundation that could hire open source developers to work on their projects on a part-time or full-time basis? Something like those physicist think tanks that Feynman refused to jo

For those who don't get the reference, it's a fantastic book by Charles Stross that you can get for free from his website: http://www.antipope.org/charlie/blog-static/fiction/accelera...

I gotta say, I'm impressed by how you've turned "intelectual" into a pejorative.

That's because BBC is an initialism (each letter is pronounced separately) rather than an acronym (pronounced as if it were a word).

This is a great way to stealth tweet at work, especially when combined with a 2nd monitor and a 4-way terminal split :)

Every time I learn about a new programmer font, I try it for a day. It makes me sad that I apparently will never find one I like better than Inconsolata.

It's probably because there are also plenty of excellent reasons to have anonymity as an option online.

I should make it clear that I'm in no way saying the two are equivalent. I'm only commenting on why men don't get rape threats (or don't take them seriously on the odd occasion when we do). Many of us have gotten empty t

I would argue that men don't get rape threats because most men don't see rape as a realistic threat to themselves. Instead, we have our masculinity, loyalty, abilities, work ethic, and/or integrity attacked, because those are

It's not pretty, but that's why we have ballistic missile subs as a deterrent. There are always more counter-countermeasures than countermeasures.

I saw a lot of American expats in Chiang Mai, Thailand. It's much more laid back than Bangkok or the beach cities, and it's gorgeous up there. They seemed to be having a great time.
