Gyms in the USA can be pretty cagey with pricing as well. I looked at a few different gyms briefly and could not get even a ballpark figure what the price would be. They all wanted to set up a meeting with their sales guy. One guy said i

Another great quote: "Google was the rich kid who, after having discovered he wasn’t invited to the party, built his own party in retaliation. The fact that no one came to Google’s party became the elephant in the room."

I love BetterPrivacy. I'm surprised every day, when I close the browser, how many flash cookies it reports it will clear.

My favorite part about it is that most sites I register for do NOT reject the mailinator.com email address. I always think "I'll probably get rejected and have to hunt down an alternate", but 80-90% of the time my mailinator address is acc

It would be funny if they suddenly dropped the service because it wasn't generating a good "revenue stream". It would be chaos for awhile.

Yeah, I like the fold commands, which I barley discovered a few weeks ago. I typically do "set foldmethod=indent" then pres "zr" multiple times until I'm at the fold level I want. Then I can just do "zo" on the parts of code I'm intereste

Honestly, when I was younger, I used to use vim when collaborating with other programmers to impress them, and then use an IDE most of the time when noone was looking. But then something strange happened, I began building up the muscle memo

I run Ubuntu as my main OS. Then I have VirtualBox running with couple Windows virtual installs and a couple Linux virtual installs. I give about 5G-10G disk space to each, and about 500M to 800M RAM to each (my work laptop only has 2GB,

Yeah, that's kind of what I do. I run Mint or Ubunutu, then run lightweight distros via VirtualBox(Lubuntu, Crunchbang, etc.)

Thanks Michael, I was having a hard time understanding TDD and git until I went through your tutorial. Also, although I had been programming in Rails for a couple years, it really helped me understand some of the basics of Rails that I had

Totally agree. Even though I went through the Agile book previously, I went through half of Hartl's tutorial primarily to learn how to use Rails with Git, Heroku, and TDD.

It's too bad that so many career-advice books, essays, and blogs tell job searchers to answer like "D" list candidates.

The bad guys I've known were could be very charming when it mattered or to the right people. It took several months (sometimes a year) for people to compare notes and realize they were basically jerks. One of the nicest guys I've ever met

I recently purchased a laptop with Windows 7 at a national chain, and there is no CD. If I set up a dual boot, which I normally do, I'll be forced to get a pirated version. There is supposedly a way to reinstall from a hidden drive or par

You can also sort of nap in a bathroom stall. It's difficult to fall asleep completely, but closing your eyes and resting your face in your hands, with you elbows resting on your legs, for about 5-10 minutes, can help you feel rested and r

Yeah, having them written down off to the side helped me finally learn vim. There are many vim cheat sheets out there via a quick google that I wish I would have used starting out.

Or they will increase everyone's rates by $2, then a week later offer a $2 reduction for paying via the methods they want you to. And the sheeple will be grateful.

This is awesome, everyone says to transfer, but most people won't because it's too much of a hassle. This helps alleviate that barrier. I've just tweeted this and will email my friends too. We nerds are a kind of multiplier effect. GoDa

I worked at a University where it would take a week to get production logs. If I couldn't find the source of the bug, I'd have to deploy a new version with a few more debugging statements, and wait another week to see the debugging in the

I went camping with a group of lawyers once, and they were a lot like this too. They wanted to constantly argue and debate. They would even assert things that I knew they personally disagreed with, just to start an argument. If nobody wa

Cool idea. I usually move folders and files to the /tmp/ folder instead of deleting them. The next time I boot up, they are gone.

Firefox was becoming slow for me and a real pain to use, until I lowered the browser.history_expire_sites in "about:config" from 40k down to 10k. I'll probably lower it even more. http://kb.mozillazine.org/Browser.history_expire_sites

I've seen a wide variety of job descriptions for these jobs. Sometimes it sounds like a data miner, sometimes a business analyst, sometimes an accountant. It's hard to know what a Data Scientist is until you look at the specific job descr

Yeah, at first I agreed with the article, but then I realized I've had many creative moments while interacting with peers. Maybe when I reach a "writer's block" like coding moment, I then feed of the interaction with others. But only if "
