We have some legacy files with > 20K in PHP. I'm yet to find a PHP IDE which will happily consume these files and let me work them. I just jump into VIM when I need to edit them. For arguments sake, I'm talking an IDE in the model of Ec

This is great to hear. I've been thinking of picking up the guitar to try and learn again, but for the second coming try to ditch my tabs habit. Thanks for the awesome tool.

I agree with the sentiment about all lives being equal. That is why I enjoyed challenging myself to think about it purely from an economic perspective one day. We were on the plane, and the guy next to us was studying "humanitarian economic

Matthew gave an awesome talk on UEFI at linux.conf.au 2012 [0]. A thoroughly entertaining and informative talk on issues including secure boot, but also other issues with UEFI. It even got voted one of the best four talks at the conference,

Yup, I have the same thing. Is this a(nother) change of heart from the owner? Or did ICANN intervene that quickly? I find it hard to believe its the later.

While that may be a tad arkward, it isn't as bad as it sounds. If I had one of these, I'd still leave toilet paper on the side for those who were uncomfortable with the concept of a Washlet. Edit: After reading the other comments, it is app

Myself? Sorry to say, but I probably wouldn't pay, seeing as I am a programmer by trade. This was just for a little side project where I wanted to collaborate with my little sister on our own version of xkcd's "Click and Drag" [0] which we

This looks cool. I like the concept of plugins for different filetypes. My visual diff tool of choice is Meld, and most of us at work use it often with git. However, it would be cool if it supported plugins for filetypes. For example, recen

I agree. I am with this bank, and after seeing this was curious as to what information they actually have about me. Looking at the "My Details" section of the site shows only the following info: - Name - Phone - Email - Address - Tax File N

While this is an interesting question, and it would be nice to know, I don't think its the only reason to have these get togethers. For someone like me, it would be more about experience, networking, and fun. I like to code in my spare time

But it indeed seems to be somebody who is claiming to be the author of the SO post (perhaps for karma?). They only created the HN account today in order to post this story, and they chose a username which is obviously a reference to Michiel

Ah Shockwave, good to see you again my old friend. I can't believe it's still around and kicking, given the last release of Director seems to be about two years ago. I don't play any online games, but can somebody vouch for whether it is st

How does ~275Gpix sound? [0][1]. I did a stint at UCSD for two months as an undergrad, and sat next to this monster while they were playing with it. It might sound stupid having that much resolution, but it really is cool to be able to see

Yup. It absolutely boggles my mind every time I look up at the stars. Especially when I'm out in the country with no light pollution, and you can clearly make out the light streak signifying the plane of the Milky way through the sky. >

Thanks for the write up. Can I ask, how much do you think the non-ability to focus on a task it is about procrastination and how much is about your ADD? For example, I am doing my PhD now, and find it very hard to focus on actual research,

I couldn't agree more. I looked a short while ago for a firefox extension which just looks for a url in the body of an anchor link, then alerts you if the htef attribute is different. Couldn't find one or be stuffed writting one, but was be

And it still has a lot of custom rom support. I'm writing from my Galaxy S with CM10 (Jellybean) now. Naturally, it uses Ext (3?) partitions, and resizes the cache partition so I can download apps larger than 30mb from the play store (anoth

I've often thought about this. Specifically, if you want to play a game of paintball or some other physical activity, there is often a waiver you sign which says something along the line of: "you agree not to sue if you injure yourself, eve
