It's not only about bandwidth concerns, it's more about making commit diffs readable. If you have ten lines of tabular assignments and you changed the sixth, but that made you realign everything, then you'll see 10 green lines + 10 pink lin

They also seem to be promoting an ereader from iRiver: http://books.google.com/help/ebooks/ereader.html The specs are similar to the kindle keyboard, but costs less ($99 without ads) and has a better resolution 768x1024 vs kindle's 600x80

BTW, if you want to buy the kindle version, buy it from O'Reilly instead of Amazon: 5 formats and no-DRM: http://shop.oreilly.com/product/9780735611313.do ($1.83 more though).

Well github's code search is a pretty good replacement, although it's limited to github.

Just thinking about what you wrote; I think that it would be really nice if someone wrote a book for adult programmers about the opposite thing: how to get yourself out of the state of mind for debugging when you go home.

Who is "you"? Are websites supposed to develop their own extensions which will then be embedded into the browser? Or distributed as plugins?

I think these are all meant for different situations. For example you can't look for the Sun if its cloudy. Also, the horizon is usually blocked by a lot of buildings in big cities, so even if it is clear, you won't be able to find the sun

Funnily I got the exact opposite impression. I thought it was cheesy and kitsch.

That's really cool. It depends on the way you look at it I think. The 75% who dropped out were probably not that interested in your company/products anyway. Sure, they might have been computer programming aces, but in the end I think this i

The best job application process I've been through was when the employer asked for a small program to be submitted with the CV. The program had to use their infrastructure and existing products, which gave me a quick tour of their processes

In the past I thought Ubuntu's intention was to level the playing field, allowing beginners from any economic background access to the best free software. This is true. The rest of your argument seems to operate on a wrong definition of w

Because the number "10" keeps appearing in the denominator, we say this is pi in "base 10". It is also why we have 10 different digits. I thought we have 10 digits so we can count our fingers.
