You're lucky. I use Asana for my personal tasks at work and I wish we all used it, but the PHBs want burn-down charts and such so we officially use Jira.

To clarify, Timely and Bigtop are code names for the next versions of Google Calendar and Gmail? I hadn't heard of these. Can you give any more info?

This is intellectually lazy reasoning. The existence of people who believe something does not make what they believe true. Realize that the two statements: "Here in the south we [often] use [...] 3000 year old Judean religious texts wh

If you're going to try to invalidate what I wrote by "people disagree" then justify from the text where it says that drugs should be illegal and punishable by imprisonment.

> ...and 3000 year old Judean religious texts... FWIW there's nothing in the Bible about throwing people in jail for alcohol (still baffled the US ever passed alcohol prohibition) or drugs. I'd argue against prohibition on Chri

Yes but that's pcwalton's point. The OP complained that Rust is slow, in part, because of that feature and pcwalton pointed out that A. most languages do it now and B. that it has no runtime cost because it's just sugar synta

What's the best Bitcoin exchange to buy with? In the early days I stayed away because a lot of the exchanges seemed to have really poor security, but it looks like it may be time to invest somewhere.

Mail is buggy with Exchange as well.

Relevant: http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/APIWar.html See the parts about backwards compatibility. I'll grant that Microsoft isn't as fanatical about backwards compatibility as they used to be.

The QA failure most shocking to me lately is that on 10.8.5 on their newest MacBook Airs, Apple forgot some file necessary to use the video camera in 32 bit mode and therefore broke Skype. Microsoft, for all their faults, is notorious for h

Thanks for those benchmarks! You get a big boost by using multiple Puma workers on MRI. Under Rubinius you should be able to only use one Puma worker for max performance, right? I'd love to see benchmarks with Rubinius... ;)

I'm also surprised at the dislike for Groovy. When I looked at it, it seemed to be roughly on par with Python or Ruby, with some nice features unique to Groovy. Of course, there's the limitation that it only runs on the JVM. Maybe

Looks very nice. I'd actually consider using this. Questions: * I like that you support tags. How do you browse tags? * Customizable URL slugs: so if I want to date my archive URLs I have to manually type in '/archive/20

Google is one in a long line of brand names that are so ubiquitous they come to identify the category. Kleenex, Photoshop, Bandaid, and so on. There's nothing wrong with it.

Leader election - isn't that just a problem created by using an external cluster of servers for storing config? If you were just reading a file, there's no issue of selecting a master from your NFS share. The two rationales I&#x27

Atomic updates on an NFS share can be achieved with renaming changed files into place, no?

Sorry if this is a dumb question but I've never understood the purpose of these configuration stores. If you're not running in the cloud, but have servers in a datacenter that all mount an NFS share, is there any benefit of these
