What's the feature comparison like with OptimalLayout? I've been loving OptimalLayout for over a year. Of course, costing money is sort of a big difference.

In NYC the taxi commission is in the pocket of the medaillion holders. That's why the recent law to issue more mediallions (2,000 at ~800k each = $1.6b for the city) had to go through the state instead (Albany being less corrupt than anythi

At least MobileMe didn't replace some other awesome cloud functionality.

What's the Toronto scene like? I'm finishing up a PhD at NYU this year and was planning on breaking in to the field after graduating. NYC is obviously a great place to be but for relationship reasons I was thinking of moving to Toronto (whi

Sorry to belabor the point, but this is exactly what parent was saying. > changing something like > ("foo", > "bar", > "baz") > to > ("foo") > actually breaks the code. Of course it breaks the code

You didn't get the memo? Comic Sans is ironically cool now. It was the memo with subject line: geocities is the new Tumblr.

I'm not clear on what in my comment you're saying "no" to. isinstance(tuple, ("foo")) being True is not a "rough edge" (or if it is anything people are ever confused by is a rough edge). If it were True, that would also mean you couldn't us

I don't always code Python, but when I do I don't complain much about these issues :-). I think everything you've mentioned is pretty defensible, particularly the readability bit. Honestly if a language does everything reasonably well, I th

I'm so confused. You seem to be saying that > 4 * (3+2) should throw: > TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for *: 'int' and 'tuple' ??? I beg to differ.

The day I went back to Snow Leopard I realized that the only thing I miss from [Mountain] Lion is the non-ugly scrollbars. Everything else was just better.

There's a big difference between making your own choices and forcing other people to make your choices, which is what density restrictions do. Housing markets reflect the collective desires of people that live in an area, and SF housing mar

ooh if I've understood correctly `alias vim='mvim -v'` solves my problem, thanks!

Or OSX where I can never seem to get vim to build from source (which is the only option for Ruby or even Python integration). I know I've done it in the past but every time I need to I forget the magic I need to do.

They bought them for 20mil, that's pretty cheap given their userbase. I bet Conde can sell them for more than that now.

The ridiculous thing is it's not like the original headline wasn't editorializing.

Just like how American courts always side with Mexican companies against European ones! Wait, I think something's wrong with this picture.

Once you install yaourt or packer though it's really easy to at least see if the AUR package works (Skype works fine, e.g.). If not then maybe you're on your own, but if you're having trouble it can still be useful to see how someone else b

What distro are you running? It must be sort of out there that you're having such difficulties. I'm running Arch which is not widely supported, but user submitted build recipes (think brew on OSX but with way more options) work 95% of the

I'm fairly confident that many (most?) of the gui elements you listed were invented by Xerox and willfully copied by Apple. Certainly stacking resizable movable windows, pull-down menus, and manipulable desktop items. https://en.wikipedia.

I switched to Pentadactyl because of passkeys, but now Vimperator has ignorekeys which I think might actually be even better.

I said this elsewhere, but I switched over to vimperator and order was restored to the universe.

This made me switch back to Vimperator and I haven't looked back.

Ha, and here I thought it was too libertarian leaning so I must really be off the deep end. Maybe the author should have stuck to non-political examples since the examples are really not the point of the article, though I know all the fun o

"I thought the value of gold or silver was always constant" Value is relative, so if you only value gold then the value of gold is constant. But if what you value is goods and services, then the price of gold is extremely unstable. You can

I'm actually not very taken with oh-my-zsh. It seems to add a layer of complexity while not really adding anything you couldn't just paste into your .zshrc. If it eliminated tinkering overhead that would be one thing, but in my experience i

zsh can mostly be thought of as a collection of enhancements to bash, so I find that rather than changing my thought process, I just try to use a zsh feature, realize it's not working, and do it the crummy bash way instead. If a feature exi

I hope the majority of users enjoy having their keystrokes logged, since that's the new trend among analytics engines.
