I disagree. Code unsuitable for learning makes for hard testing. For a reasonably good version, try http://rubykoans.com .

One anecdote certainly isn't “proof-of-falsehood”, be the veracity of the original statement what it may.

Distributed twittering, yay! Can even homestead this… and the statuses are syndicated to Twitter to tide over the transition. Switched.

It is, when considering the value proposition over e.g. RTM is the collaboration. $99 isn't terrible but by itself it's really got nothing over the multitude of other GTD options. To use it to collaborate, for just me and the wife, it'd be

A bit further north, the prices for phones are exactly the same whether over a contract or paid up front; I'm not sure if it's law or just convention. The monthly plan is really just used to lure in customers (and by customers in lieu of a

Not sure what the typo referred to is but “cappuccino“ is the correct spelling.

You should mostly just ensure that the requests your software makes are correct, and that you're testing response handling with correct responses; what actually happens at the other end is of no concern to you. At some point, of course, you

I wish people'd stop using explicit URLs to describe what's REST an what isn't. “Pretty” URLs are incidental, at best. I'm not certain DELETE is completely inappropriate here[1], but if you feel strongly about it, probably the best/REST way

I'd wager you're correct to an extent, at least, but I'm not sure if it's still wise to spend the research on that rather than renewables – even allowing for the fact that there're scientists and facilities that can/want only help with the

It can't all be reprocessed (which itself is somewhat hazardous not least because of the transport required) so you'll still have a sizable chunk of stuff that needs to be contained for tens of thousands of years.

I think it's mostly just a rooted fear of anything “nuclear”, but there's an argument to be made that the damage caused by dams is localized in a way that nuclear disasters can't be. In reality, of course, it's quite impractical to move eve

Dear book (/music/film) publishers: If you release works without restrictions, I'll probably buy them. If you release works with restrictions, I probably won't buy them and might obtain the cracked version illegally instead.

Can't be that hard, really? I can't say one way or another but I'd kinda expect the experts to have thought of this at some point if it was a trivial possibility.

Thank goodness. If Google took over social, too, I'd be forced to quit the Internet. Ceding all that power to one entity (a company no less), is just insanity.

I could be spatially challenged enough to not really see it, as the imagery is lacking perspective, but these pictures aren't much after seeing the video footage of the waves rolling in. That was a much starker (re-)realization of their p

An aftershock is, essentially, an earthquake caused either by the continuing event that caused the first quake or by the resettling of the earth in the area, and especially the latter can take a long time.

Don't “stay with it” continuously, though, that'll just keep the system overloaded. If you can't get through, wait 20 minutes before trying again.

Sorry to be meta, but the @ is pretty much implied when you're replying to their post. Can we agree not to do it?

I know the affliction is real, I'm just questioning the wisdom of using the portrayal thereof by a TV show as a basis for argument. The gracious commenters provided good links to expound on the fallacy.

Is a TV show really the best example, even if it's been seen by a relatively large number of people? It's not real, after all.

I don't see why you should decide to never have a social account. Personally, I don't trust Facebook, so I don't use it. Twitter, on the other hand, I've found useful both to follow people I know or know of in the context of a hobby &

Excellent images. For anyone even remotely interested in the topic, the film “South”, http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0198559/ , is comprised of hauntingly awesome actual video footage of the ill-fated 1914-1916 voyage. I believe there's also

Actually it kinda reads exactly like cutting out cardio for the most part, though admittedly I only skimmed through it. Perhaps it isn't communicating its point very well? Personally I heavily favour cardiovascular fitness over muscular fit

I'm sorry if it's contrived (I felt it somewhat related to the anecdote above); what I was trying to get at is whether designers have a point where they can't further deviate from their vision without compromising it, even if requested to b
