(Not read the article yet, just answering to the question for myself.) I sometimes use stackexchange network (more precisely: tex.stackexchange.com) to provide many, many answers and I have spent hours over hours there, mainly to procrastin

I distribute a binary that can be extended via Javascript/Lua/... API by a customer. This is great. I don't want the customer to mess with the Go source but I give him the chance to mess with the program by a well defined API

Yes, you can do that. But that's evil and ugly (mixing uppercase and lowercase letters that way). I know it has do be done sometimes. And I am glad that U+1E9E (LATIN CAPITAL LETTER SHARP S) is not official part of German orthography.

Does weiss == weiß ? Yes and no. The swiss would write the former, other German speaking (writing) countries would write the latter. It is incorrect in Germany (after ie, au, eu, ... you must not write ss, unless it's a name, such as t

I actually like 'Hello world' examples, as long as they are very short. That way I have a basic program in an unknown language and can continue from there. Finding out how to make a very simple sample program myself was frustratin

`git gc` packs files with delta compression. I have a rather big git repository (daily mirroring a 25 gig repository with some large dvd iso images). And it seems to work quite well.

Thats what I do. But it might take time (graylisting for example). So instant feedback is not possible.

They are mostly in 9th grade. I don't know their age, but perhaps around 14-15?

Checking for @ (and some other basic stuff) would be ok. I don't want to confuse users with more checkboxes/displays than necessary. Interesting experiment? Yes probably, but I would need more data than I have now to get meaningfu

I have a sign-up page with one email field. I get many errors because people (mostly younger people that probably don't use email regularly) type in incorrect email addresses (leave out the '@', use : instead of . and so on).

I have used fish for a few months and I really liked it. I switched back to bash eventually because of a simple fact that esc-. didn't work in fish (which I use really often). If fish provides it, I will go back to fish.

Yes. Thats why I rarely click on such titles.

Wow, an ASCII font. Useless in most part of the world (sorry for being dismissive. I actually like the font, but without any "funny" characters, it's use is very limited) Now, I'll probably get all the downvotes from tod

You can't tell if a Cypher is unbroken, because no one knows it (outside the NSA, for example).

How do you think anyone can tell you "encryption XYZ is NSA-secure"?

Interesting idea.. I have never used the minimap. I found it too small to be useful and it distracts me from the code I write. I navigate mostly by Cmd-R (on Mac, probably Ctrl-R on others). If the ascii-art wasn't that big in the real
