I do get mad at those publications, though. I hate that people who claim moral/ethical authority act contradictory to those morals and explain it as either a means to justify some "greater" end (as if moral consistency wasn&#

Sure thing (I'm assuming you mean the git diff one): https://www.dropbox.com/s/3vrp9yk6d7d5f3j/Open%20Diff%20in%2... I haven't gotten around to making it more generic (right now, it's really only su

For me, Keyboard Maestro[1], which is probably the one app I couldn't live without. With it, I can do things like highlight any git sha (or any sha range) in the terminal, press a keyboard command and it will launch my diff tool with t

The only thing I can say for both of you are that you're both right. We need to optimize for the user and optimize for the people getting the improvements to the user as fast as possible. Anything else is just technical debt :)

I also draw a lot in meetings, and I too find it helps me concentrate (been doing it my whole life in church, school, watching tv, etc). However it also looks incredibly rude and zoned out, but if I'm not doing it, I'll probably

First, I would say you need to understand your own learning style and what methods work for you. For me, practical beats theoretical any day. Everything I've become good at, I almost always had tried learning it from reading books or

That's the thing though, if wikipedia is to be believed, and testosterone is the hormone most often used, we do know the end effects of consuming it. Sure, testosterone is an insanely powerful hormone, but it's not like the effect

I agree with you, but... :) There are quite a few people who go overboard with it, and I'm not arguing complete unfettered access for all, but I think the reason it's dangers are trivialized is in reaction to how trivialized alcoh

I tend to take it for granted that third party services can and will delete everything you post whenever it suits them, or even just because whoever is running the data management is inept or uninterested in a sane backup policy. But that

I think this is strongly tied to the current fad have having every micro-library be "dependency free". I don't fully understand the appeal. "Here's my tool that is superior because it has no dependencies. Will you m

Is there anyone else who hates Twitter because of its 140 character limit and overall focus on broadcasting rather than sharing? For the 140 character limit, I get the historical SMS reasons and that it helps you "focus" your cont

You're correct. Insulin is the storage hormone, cortisol is the teardown hormone (putting it all very simply).

Speaking as a white American from a very conservative/religious family and social group, I think your view is just as generalized as you imagine conservative/religious groups to be. I have multiple aunts and uncles who are Korean,

It doesn't stop the development of labor automation, but instead increases it, much against the interest of those that fought against the maintenance of current wages. It's like when oil producers increase prices, as a side effect

Can you explain a bit about that? I followed the links in the article, and found them to be quite good, so reading this is kinda surprising. From my quick Googling, it seems like maybe someone thought he was pretentious, but can't real

BMI doesn't work well for measuring much. At least it's always been completely useless in telling me anything about my health. My body fat percentage is around 13.8%. Do I have some fat to lose? Sure, but it's still pretty go

I regularly drink 1.5 gallons of iced tea per day, and 0.5 gallons of water, and have for a long time with no ill effects. Of course it's not 25 years, but it used to be 8 liters of diet coke per day, and the acid on the teeth alone wa

I think there's a flaw here in your assumption. You're assuming that because a society is in the future, that they will be more correct than where we currently are. However, there are societies that had atrocious human rights viol

Two useful things YUI provides around this (and I'm sure other libraries have similar), are: 1. Y.rbind, which does the same thing as bind, but appends the arguments (to me, this is more useful, as often, I'm binding a single func

Sure thing, that shouldn't be a problem at all :) I'll check and see where the bulk of the work is currently at. Go ahead and shoot me (@natecavanaugh) a message on twitter, or to Iliyan (@ipeychev) who wrote the code for it and w

Thanks for compliments and questions. To answer (I tend towards the loquacious, so forgive me): > * Why YUI? When I think of YUI, I tend to think "overkill". Obviously you've done a ton of work on this since 2009; is there

Hey guys, Eduardo and I started AlloyUI at Liferay back in 2009. I'm sorry to hear about your experiences, and I completely understand. When it was just the two of us, in addition to handling the entire UI for Liferay, we also wrote 60

Perhaps he is doing all of this work with the wrong goal in mind. If you start out building something for other people, you're always going to gamble that other people may not need it. But if you're building tools for yourself, and document

Doesn't anyone see the irony here? TBBT makes a lot of jokes about how vociferously nerds will argue over their chosen entertainment. This entire thread is basically playing out a TBBT punchline about TBBT punchlines. It's not a nerd vs. co

Enterprises are changing because their customers want more . More services, more products. This drives the business units to try to deliver, and often they need better tools. But when the IT department becomes the bottleneck and the roadbl

About 15 years ago (that long already? ;)) I saw a documentary state that scientists had done studies showing that time perception could be manipulated by changing their temperature. The warmer it was, the more slowly time seemed to pass. T

Or, the first thing I thought of (didn't even think recursion), was evil-y eval JavaScript: eval(Array(101).join('console.log("hello world");'));
