TeamCity is such a wonderful CI tool. I've tried in vain to find an open-source equivalent that has TeamCity's world view regarding snapshot dependencies and VCS triggers, but so far my search has left me empty-handed. That, plus

Hypercard is largely responsible for my love of programming. As a kid, I would work with my sisters on making games in it. It was a beautiful combination of half painting program, half drag'n'drop GUI creation that we used to ma

Debug information often is choc-full of environment specific goodies that can easily cause builds not to be reproducible. For example, debug information for several languages I've worked with embed the full path to where the source cod

If you hide the toolbar in the OS X finder, you can get Spatial Finder back (!). When the toolbar is hidden, double-clicking folders springs them open to new windows, and folder windows remember their position after closing them. If you tu
