I just looked at his twitter feed, and he has a lot of "I made a mistake" posts. What he did was bad, but at least he is not trying to minimize it. And this thread getting to the top of Hacker News will probably teach him a lesson.

Yeah, if they really had to get off on criticizing other's code, why not use IM or email? To do it on such a public place as twitter is kind of cruel.

Yeah, I noticed some low housing prices in San Leandro too last summer, is this a safe place to live? Anyone?

Yeah, it's like "Congratulations, you just invented a Kindle."

Same here. I'll often buy a substandard book from the "21 days" or "24 Hours" series, even with all their lack of editing and inferior writing, over other books. Why? Because the exercises they usually have help me retain more that a bett

I'm with AT&T and went to the $15/month a couple years ago (don't know if the price went up, I'm on someone else's contract and I've never actually seen the bill). It's a pain to worry about bandwidth, and video is out of the question.

Just saw Tenderlove's tweet, which is pretty funny "while we're at it, we should check in the .so files too. Binfiles won't work so well without them."

Wow, that will make it feel much better if they off you, how warm and fuzzy. They should make a hallmark card "Seasons Greetings, if you get taken out, you can count on us to ensure that a human being will decide when a robot kills you. S

But Perl also has the problem of "what the hell did the last guy mean that touched this?" style programming.

Thanks, that's a good way of looking at it. Nowadays, I have so much pent-up anger and rage at these types of people after coming to terms with all the years of being manipulated by them. They must sense it, because they tend to shut up wh

He could also comment about the last disguise he used after he has moved on to a new one. This would allow him to throw the police off and be honest at the same time.

As someone that comes from a small town, I think you hit the nail on the head. It always felt so rude to not stop to listen to these people. It took me years to learn how to just keep walking without feeling terribly guilty. It helped wh

Same here. It looked like a great place when I first went in, until I got the high-pressure sales treatment, then I decided I'll never go back.

Yeah, I was pissed that my community college class, and this was over a couple years ago, had some extra material only available through the class facebook account. It was just assumed that everyone was on it, like assuming if you are huma

I usually start at the 3rd or 4th paragraph to cut through the BS. If it sounds interesting, then I'll go back and read the beginning.

Great point. The times I've pretended usually come back to bite me and are eventually more embarrassing than just saying "I don't know". Now, when I'm tempted to pretend, I think about the embarrassment that will probably result, which gi

I tend to say "I don't know" around these malevolent personality types more often. If people are looking for ammunition to use against you, the less words you use the better. These types of people will find plenty of things to mock you an

Debian's idea of stable really means super duper rock-solid extremely stable. Which is ok, but I had a hard time running newer software on it. I now use Debian Testing, which is most people's idea of stable. Several debian-derived distro

It's also interesting to see here in the West how people that act like it would be a huge ethics violation to hire a relative have no problem hiring a friend. Drama and favoritism problems, though, are similiar, whether your'e working with

I think you've hit the nail on the head. I was just thinking the same thing last week, wondering why I hate pagination when I used to like it. I realized it's the time it takes to load, which is probably due to the ads. I'm on a broadban
