Agreed. It would also be nice if the 3rd party apps were required to provide short explanations for each of the permissions they were requesting. I almost never provide access to any 3rd party Twitter app that wants permission to "read and

This seems like something that would be much better if integrated into a tool like Fabric or Capistrano that already knows how to send SSH commands to a bunch of different servers. Does anything like that exist? I guess the downside would

Like the author, I'd be interested in hearing about better ways to handle Scala's `Option` type.

True, but lack of XP support combined with XP's 40-50% market share in early 2011 ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Windows#Usage_share ) means that this great new browser might take a long time to gain traction.

That's a fairly inflamatory headline, and the reviewer's definition of "modern" is never explicitly given. I'd argue that the Chromium and WebKit nightlies I downloaded this morning are more "modern" than IE9. Edit: Still, kudos to Micro

We might be getting close to this point: Maybe we should just give up on the term REST, since it’s become so diluted as to mean nothing more than “HTTP API that’s not as hard to use as SOAP”? This is a shame, because RESTful APIs are (fo

Here's an implementation I wrote some years ago that includes obstacle avoidance. Clicking adds obstacles, spacebar adds boids, reloading gets new colors. This ended up looking somewhat like sperm avoiding eggs... http://humortree.org/pr

I had not heard of func until this thread. I chose fabric because it was the only Python-based option I was aware of.

Recent-ish WebKit and Firefox browsers do support PUT and DELETE in XHR requests. I'm pretty sure that any IE < 9 does not, not sure about IE 9 or Opera (though I'd guess Opera does support those verbs).

This is old, but I thought it was great. I'm just glad suds exists ( https://fedorahosted.org/suds/ ) for when I do have to deal with SOAP (Amazon's Fulfillment Web Services, primarily).

Most of the criticisms of justified text are based on the fact that web browsers use "naive" justification, without intelligent hyphenation. This can lead to lines where words are spaced far apart which many people fin

You're probably right. But you've got to admit that Apple itself makes its products seem much more magical than Microsoft does. They do such a good job that it's really easy for the media to pick it up and run with it. Nearly all of Micros

The last time I tried js2-mode, its indentation rules really drove me crazy. So now I use espresso-mode (which reliably indents the way I expect it to) to write my JS and turn on js2-mode to have it lint my JS. Do you know if that has chan

I learned this trick when I first picked up Python, too. I came from Java and, naturally, started writing Python code in the style I had learned to write Java: Heavily object-oriented, with getters and setters everywhere. Eventually, thou

"Alas, I just have to marvel, because for some reason my mind doesn't anagram well. I just don't have the knack. To me high-level Scrabble playing looks like a superpower." I feel the exact same way. Well put.
