I'll second that. Twitter at PyCon was also the aha moment for me. Since then I've used it every day. In fact people at PyCon were asking me for me Twitter username to stay connected, very different from previous conferences I've been too.

Sound exactly like forests. You CAN get back to a consistent state. But you have to be very careful look at the commit history and hg update a few times.

We use Forests and they are pretty awful. I would recommend against using that extension. It is awkward to work with, makes it hard to rollback your repos to a consistent state, and is painful when you have a change that applies to both rep

I don't like any of them actually. The most important part of the site, Mozilla's products, are listed below the fold.

Unfortunately, Agitar effectively dissolved last year. The company was bought for peanuts, and there is not much left now. Nearly all the employees left if I remember correctly.

I was hoping that the bookmarks extension would be fixed to allow true, local, lightweight branching. Looks like I have to wait for a future fix. The problem with bookmarks now is you can't selectively push from a bookmark (ie: only push th

Apple is really good at this. They are always willing to obsolete their products if there is something else better. A great example is the iPhone. They didn't care that it would cannibalize iPod sales, because they knew the iPhone was the n

I wonder if they are walking away from the deal so the stock tumbles, and they can come back in a quarter or two and try and nab Yahoo then. I think Oracle actually did this with Peoplesoft?

Where did you find this information on Delaware's site? I'd like to look it up for the company I work for.

Let us know how many outstanding shares there are, I'm curious what percentage they are offering. I'm trying to get a general sense what a company like that would give % wise.

Take a look at alot of the popular Mac software companies out there. Many of them make quite a living, like Panic, and Delicious Monster.

I think both are very productive platforms. I use both, but for me Mac OS X is better. The big reason for me is that there are apps I rely on that run only on Mac OS X. Keynote and OmniGraffle are the two biggies. Also, I find things "just

I would say much of the processes are useful, but don't take any of them too far. Unit testing, continious integration, version control, regression testing, and building your software in iterations are all things that are important for buil

Mercurial rocks. We use it at the startup I work for, and it has been invaluable. Being able to swiftly and easily make your own branches is fantastic for prototyping.

For my desktop application I've decided to spawn processes rather than threads even though the trend these days is to use processes. It separates the engine of the app from the GUI, and the interface between is well defined. I use txt + UNI

My favorite part of the whole article: “People think focus means saying yes to the thing you’ve got to focus on. But that’s not what it means at all. It means saying no to the hundred other good ideas that there are. You have to pick carefu

A terrible idea, just like how tag clouds are a terrible idea. I was talking to some HCI folks recently, and they said that in a study people thought there browser was broken when they encountered a tag cloud. Simply does not work.

I'll second the Algorithm Design book recommendation. An even better theory book is Introduction to the Theory of Computation by Sipser, however it covers slightly different topics. It is one of the most readable theory books I've seen, hig
