I have g+ open pretty much 24/7. A chrome addon alerts me if there's anything interesting. Do I spend countless hours on social sites then, or only when I actually look at it? If the latter, then about 15 minutes a day.

While you read, you make the writer of the book you're reading happy. He or she wrote the book to be read, when you do so, you're making it all worthwhile for them. You contribute back to humanity by enjoying and using the work of others. A

I'll probably be bashed over the head, but debbugs (the thing behind Debian's bug tracking system) came to mind as I read the question.

Because there's at least some source code for android, which is not the case with IOS, perhaps? It's not trivial to port something you don't have the sources (nor the required permissions) for.

I'm doing the same. I just share the link to the appropriate circle (I have a ton of overlapping circles - I'd rather select one circle from a long list than build up my share targets from small distinct circles) and voila. They immediately

The video was okay-ish, but the lack of _any_ kind of reasonably content on their website was a big let down. I tried to request an invite anyway, for the heck of it (I usually give these things a try, when they can present something margin

It did not accept my perfectly valid email address, just because it had a + in it. Not impressed.

What may seem easy, may not be. When written down and explained, things often sound trivial (so do the Anonymous hacks too), but it often takes a lot more than trivialities to actually do it. They're not super smart, nor are the Sony develo

It's still a pain to archive, and requires extra network roundtrips even in the best case. I not only need to be able to access my mail host, but wherever else the link is pointing to aswell. When I'm checking my mail on my mobile phone, I'

I opted to press the "Delete account" button instead. No nasty surprises like this one then. So far, it seems to work.

So, there'd be another layer of indirection, and not only would I have to download the email, I'd also have to fire up a browser? And the link would point to something that's never guaranteed to remain there, or remain the same? Something n

If she's in the arts, she already understands computer science. She just calls it by a different name: art. It's no more different than how a poet differs from a sculptor: their ways are drastically different, but in the end, both are artis

I programmed quite a lot in both Perl and Python. Both have their ups and downs, but - as mentioned before me - while Python may seem cleaner and better on the surface, it can - and often is - made into as massy as anything else. Some of th

Since I put every interesting thing I do (be that code, documentation, poetry, blog entries, or just random stuff, including pictures I take) in git, one could count that as a kind of diary. I've been keeping such a thing for over a decade

You could even use something like "Accept: application/vnd.text+json;api-version=1". Personally, I'd go with the custom Accept header, using the same type, but different "accept-extension" (see http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-s

Personally, I find the syntax horrible. A good few years ago, I wrote reasonably complex stuff in Lua (a game addon, you wouldn't have guessed, right? :P), and it was quite painful to do that. It doesn't help that it's embedded into larger

As far as I see, this only applies to registered users, as it talks about accounts and whatnot. You don't need that for ye' olde search.

Well, just 'coding' IS boring. The fun part is figuring out what and how to code. In my job, for example, I fix bugs. While that sounds terribly dull, it actually is not: I get to see a lot of interesting code, that's broken is so subtle wa

I was like that when I was 20, except for the art stuff. I write code, that's what I'm good at, everything else is uninteresting, therefore I fail at it horribly. Nevertheless, ten years later, I have a good job, which I absolutely love, an

Most probably, it's compressed (and obfuscated). Therefore, it's just a random combination of letters and hyphens, without any meaningful pattern.

For a long time, I've held the opinion that once one learns to write programs, the choice of language dims away, it's just a codification of the program. One should use whichever is most appropriate for the task, and whichever he's most com

I found that reading good books helps a ton. Dry, purely technical books are no good to me: I put them down at most halfway through, because I forgot how it all started. A good book will keep me amazed from the first page to the last, even

I've had a couple of "ah-ha" moments during my career so far. The first was when I noticed that "hey! I can WRITE programs myself!". That was one of the happiest weeks of my life: my father showed me how to write a very simple C+4 BASIC pro

I'm an Emacs user. I love my editor (or OS, as some would think of it) because it has everything I need to do at my fingertips: no matter what I do, I hardly ever need to leave it, if at all. That way, I have familiar keybindings all over t

The best course of action would be to sync your imap folders to a local server (OfflineImap with dovecot is an amazing combo). I'm using Google Apps like that, and it's blazingly fast. It does eat a lot of disk space locally aswell, but tha

However good and useful your search engine may be, in my Chrome, the whole initial page ends up in the top left corner, while the rest of the screen (about 5/6 of it) is completely blank. And when loaded, the search box doesn't have focus,
