stash is something that should be used for only the briefest of times - the only time I use it is "stash, pull, unstash" If you want to save partial work to a branch, commit it, go do your work on the other branch, then use &quot

Depends on the language - plenty of them allow you to have more than one type of thing in an array. There's not usually much POINT, but you can do it..

Every teacher I know (and that's quite a few) shared this cartoon on FB recently: http://www.coreyshepherd.com/wp-content/uploads/Grades_Carto... Sad but true..

Is it yet worth trying to make the shift from all-Firebug to all-FF-Dev-Tools? I hate having two sets of tools to do one job..

On the subject of why amazingly-powerful, ahead-of-their-time languages don't catch on.. I'd be interested to know if a study has ever been done on the "accessibility" of a language and its popularity. By which I mean: A total novice, even

Google "YAPC" (Yet Another Perl Conference) for the current Perl conferences - there's YAPCs in North America, Europe, and Japan that I'm aware of, and probably others.

The reason this got talked about in my workplace was that another article covering it claimed that people were even endorsing prostitutes for various skills on LinkedIn.. the mind boggles :)

I appreciate the thought, but I no longer suffer from RSI :)

To add to that: As a programmer who's been half-crippled by RSI in the past, and half-crippled again more recently by a broken shoulder (motorbike accident) and massive whiplash (car crash) within a year of each other, SS is a really worth

That's actually the first time I've seen a decent set of reasons why zsh is worth using. Well done. Almost every other "Switch from bash to zsh, it has this awesome killer feature" article I've seen has raved about a feature that's availabl

Seems like a lot of replies have leapt straight to the sociopath/psychopath answer. And they may be right, but it's not as likely as depression. Here's an acid test that may help you work it out: Studies have been done where people were tol

Not true. Even here in the UK I can walk into an antique shop and buy a gun that can be put back into service in minutes. Guns aren't, and never have been, the thing that you need to regulate to keep down gun crime. Bullets are. If you have

I would downvote purely on the grounds that you can legitimately rebase master the same as any other branch - it's rebasing published history that screws up, not rebasing commits that are on a specific branch. There's nothing wrong with, sa
