I just found source tree myself and really enjoy it. The best feature for me is how it allows you to view diffs of all your changes as you write your commit message, that makes it easy to include good detail on all changes. Also, it's great

Ok, but in the general case (Sun/Oracle JDK) I'm pretty sure that there's almost no overhead for using an accessor anymore. That wasn't true of early JDKs though.

If you have an external monitor and USB keyboard/mouse plugged in your mac shouldn't sleep.

It means that if they really did have something like it then they're imbecilles for not marketing it like Apple did. If they didn't have it then they're imbeciles for not having thought of it.

The :: is Scala's cons operator, the Nil means end-of-list. It's actually much more common in Scala to create a list like so: val nn = List("Jim","Bob") This creates the same list that the example using :: did. It doesn't need to be

For what it's worth, Emacs 24 has built in package management. It's arguably easier than using eclipse's package management.

I'm pretty sure that if I were to start contributing to that codebase I'd be really happy that those comments where there. However I'm also pretty sure that as I learned the code I'd be less happy about them and prefer to be able to see mor

For one thing, if you work on other platforms you might want Emacs to behave the same way on all of them.

I wondered about that too, but I see that it does come with a bracket that covers the wall if you need it.

Luckily most people's language options haven't ossified like yours. I'm sorry to say that sounds awfully boring. Learning a new, interesting language is one of the most rewarding and enjoyable things I do.

Live in a metro area where there are laws that sidewalks have to be clear. I live in Boston and have been walking to work for the last 15 years including during the winter. The only exception is that I take the metro (or 'T' as it's called

That really bothers me too. At best it's ignorant, at worst it's a grave portent.

It seems like it doesn't know that you can walk across bridges. I tried it with my work address "1 Main St, Cambridge MA" and it showed me walkable apartments in Cambridge only, even though there were closer apartments just across the Longf

You don't have to build emacs to get a modern version without all the Aquamacs hoo-ha. I've been using the build at http://emacsformacosx.com/ ever since carbon emacs was discontinued. It's a nice, no surprises build.

I just did it by browsing on my iPad to the github source for the sicp.mobie and clicking "view raw". The iPad then offered to let me open the file in the Kindle app. It doesn't see to sync to my Mac Kindle app though.

I thought it was a little odd that he (seems to be) comparing the svn GUI with the git command line experience even though there are GUI tools for git as well. Have you tried Tower ( http://www.git-tower.com/ )? I used it briefly for a smal

For me MC has always struck me as something someone uses as a crutch when they're not interested in learning the "unix way" of doing things, which usually means using the command line. The idea of MC never appealed to me so I admit I've nev

Probably, but sometimes you have to work on other peoples's code. The worst for me was a 312 line function, which nearly caused me to quit.

A couple of years ago my company was in the process of purchasing QTP, an expensive testing product. I had suggested Selenium instead of QTP, but for whatever reason we went with QTP. But we couldn't afford QTP licenses for everyone who wan

This, along with automatically using an external monitor when one is plugged in, is the reason that I switched to the Mac for laptops. As others are saying, it sounds like the suspend/resume feature works well now. I can add that at least o

I'd suggest sticking with Erlang a little bit longer. I've only recently learned the language myself so I know what you're talking about. However, for me after a few weeks working with it off and on everything just clicked and now it seems

I don't really care about Terminal.app anymore, iTerm does full screen and 256 colors well, and iTerm2 is under development and has even more fancy features.

In Java there are also static inner classes and static initializers (static code blocks that initialize static data)
