These types of rants always strike me as being ignorant. It seems like it's just taking this one person's view of software development and trying to apply it to everything. To me, it's on the same level as saying "real programmers use X".

Achieve.ly. I had a few people interested in using it but I took a contracting position and had to stop working on it. I have a few people waiting to use it too. I'm probably just going to open it up publicly to let the handful of people us

I used to deal with products like this quite a bit. There's a huge segment of the industry that is involved in rebill scams and are almost impossible to cancel. Is your product like that as well? It looks exactly like the type of landing pa

Thanks for the feedback. It may turn out to be better off as a standard API. I've considered that approach as well.

I currently use awesome wm but I run slim so I can login to any number of window managers. I was using xfce4 for a few months and still think it's a great environment. I also mess around with fluxbox. After seeing so many people rave about

I can't imagine using autocomplete or even an IDE. I remember when I first started I was writing C++ on Windows in Visual C++. My learning only accelerated once I moved off Windows and stopped using autocomplete. Once I started working on L

The real value I've gotten from using a vm is that it's easy to replicate across different developer machines. It's quick to setup and all the developers have matching dev environments. I also don't like messing with my base system all that

We do web dev. The pain point for me is having to use rsync to "deploy" to the vm every time I make a change. That's a pretty decent tradeoff though when the alternative is maintaining tons of different development configurations on your ho

I second this. My team uses whatever they want. We have Windows users, OS X, and Linux. As long as virtualbox or vmware runs on your system, we don't care what the host OS is.

Machinarium is amazing. I purchased it last December when they had a sale going. I would've gladly paid the full price for it.

I've been working on some Chicken Scheme stuff lately. Also playing with epoll and libevent some more. I'd like to eventually get scheme and mongrel2 working together rather than writing my own web server.

I have it on good authority that the U.S. military uses similar technology overseas for monitoring terrorists.

> after scores of weeks of silence, you'd start blanketing too. Actually I wouldn't, but my situation is probably different than most people just looking for a job. I wouldn't let it get to weeks of silence. I'd just move on.

I don't get the mentality of sending out thousands of resumes. I sent out one to get my current job because I wanted to work there.

Some credit cards use RFID technology to transmit unencrypted data to merchants. I believe PayPass uses RFID tech. Anyone with an RFID scanner can grab your CC info.

This is pretty neat. I turned off auto_display_list and arg_spec (the autocomplete features). I'm not sure if it will replace my normal usage of IDLE, but I definitely dig the syntax highlighting and session history.

I think this is a good call on your part. There are a lot of people who know Django, and Python in general. In this phase it's good for you to use something that your immediate peers use.

True. I guess what I really meant is that if you're using a platform where most everything is free you don't really need to pirate software. Macs, in my opinion, could almost be lumped in with Windows.

I really only use free software. Outside of software development I don't really have any other software on my laptops. I have purchased tools and never pirate them. Is pirating more of a Windows user's thing?

I can't recall a single API I've seen or used that took the academic approach of using HTTP Accept headers. All of the major REST APIs I've seen have used API key X-* headers and most of them use versioned URIs. It seems there are two REST

Unless I'm mistaken, this basically tells me that I should put the same code for v1+json and v2+json in the same controller method, rather than actually dispatching to separate controllers. I'm not sure how it's done in Rails, but /v1/ and
