I'd lose interest in living on a barren red rock after a few days. Lonely, cold, harsh, and no Internet access.

Yes. He should drop the "free 2.0" promise. Free 2.0 versions are often used when 2.0 drops soon after 1.0, so that people feel like they get their money's worth. TextMate users have by and large gotten plenty of time for their 1.0 investme

People might be relating this to differences in the clarity of (analog-style) radio stations, where you would get worse reception if the station wasn't transmitting at a high enough power for your radio to get a clear signal.

That's a screenshot from DiffMerge http://www.sourcegear.com/diffmerge/ , but I typically just use Git or OS X's built-in "FileMerge" program. I was going to use GitHub's diff via a gist, but turns out GitHub Gists don't support diffs.

I just started picking up Clojure (coming from Python) a couple weeks ago. It's hard to understand at first, but I'm really starting to like it more than Python. Once you get over the mind-backflip that comes with the leap from imperative t

Microsoft shoves so many automatic updates in Windows as-is... they ought to just shove a codec down that pipeline too. Unless they still want H.264 to win...

1. I installed ELPA from here: http://tromey.com/elpa/install.html 2. Ran "M-x package-list-packages" 3. Installed clojure-mode, slime, slime-repl, and swank-clojure. Then I rebooted emacs and "M-x slime" just works for me (aquamacs).

if you have slime installed, you should just be able to "M-x slime" to open a clojure REPL. At least that's how it works in my emacs.

As someone who has developed both for Flash and Cocoa: Yes, Flash (and its IDE) is better suited for game development. (2D, sprite-based games, that is. Not 3D.) That said, Flash is horrible for the kinds of programs you would typically u

I've seen very few variable-width websites in recent years. Fixed-width (at around 960px) seems to be a much more standard design practice. This happened for a couple reasons. Chiefly, monitors have gotten wide, and percent-based widths oft
