Any vimmers out there who would stay with emacs after giving it a fair shake? Any converts from emacs to vim? I want to hear your story. Thanks.

What doesn't kill Ruby should hopefully make it stronger.

That's exactly what an INTJ would say. If you were an INTP, you wouldn't have posted that because you would've been second-guessing yourself. :)

I love Xubuntu. Surprised there isn't more buzz about it.

Same addictions here, minus the snowboarding. I really need to be more active. That might cancel out some of the effects of said addictions.

If everything were available in microformats, wouldn't that dramatically lower the barrier to entry for search startups who want to be the next Google? That said, wouldn't it be in Google's best interest to keep microformats at bay? Natural

Serious question: Doesn't the fact that Twitter has been running a highly trafficked Ruby website for a while now nullify all arguments that "Ruby's not ready"? Sure, we all know that Ruby could be better . But isn't it ready now?

Yeah, I'm noticing a pretty even split between the MB/MBP vs ThinkPad. Guess that means you can't go wrong either way unless the type of work you'll be doing depends on an OS-specific feature. For example: Consider what mobile platforms you

1.9 is a development release. Ruby uses odd numbered points for those. The refined, "stable" version of 1.9 will be 2.0.

Well, thank goodness for Dr. Raibert. And while we're at it, thank goodness for Albert Einstein. It's the people who would exploit the technology developed by these benign characters that frightens me. So it is perfectly reasonable to be pa

I admire your optimism. It is indeed exciting technology, but I think this will have military applications long before it is available for public use. For now, Roomba will have to do.

Thanks, this is interesting! What languages/technologies did you use to build this?

So here's the question I have with sites like this: What are the legal implications of people submitting other people's personal contact info to the service without permission? Are there not privacy laws that come into play here? Not saying

If you're a terminal junkie, then try installing 'irssi' over MacPorts. Love it.

Why Snak for $29 when you can Colloquy for free? http://colloquy.info/ Also, if you're a terminal freak and want a good text mode IRC client, I probably don't have to tell you that you can install 'irssi' over MacPorts. Real hackers use i

Although I'm certain that Django lets you be agile, does it let you be more agile than with Rails (in terms of both team and solo development)? Answers to that may change the game somewhat (both can be made to work, but which one lets you w

Loving the concept. I had always imagined that sliders or dials would provide a much more intuitive and accurate feedback mechanism than simple up or down votes. Still, a slider is not as fast as a click, so curious to see how that affects

So, question. I often see people claiming that Ruby is replacing Java in some domains, but I don't often see the same thing said of Python. Is Ruby (the language itself, not the implementation) somehow seen as "ahead" of Python in some way?
