The German scheme works well at major intersections, but creates a new danger where small side roads cut through the bike lane to join the major road to which it runs parallel. At these minor junctions, I had the experience that drivers on

The Chargebee guys in particular are lovely, but for a recent project I went with plain old Stripe for a few reasons. Firstly, I wanted to bill in multiple currencies according to where customers come from, and Chargebee required multiple A

Not necessarily. The article covers that point.

It tickles me that "eng" means "tight" / "narrow" / "cramped" in German.

Why would that be enough on its own? If that alone is sufficient, he should choose C over both OCaml and Haskell.

Even regular users want to select & copy the URL, and paste it elsewhere. How to accomplish this task when the URL is a button is unclear (source: I showed the screenshots to my wife and asked her what she thought). For this reason alon

Do Canadians self-identify as living in "America"? I would guess not. But Germans certainly self-identify as European.

Slightly unfortunate name clash here, since there's also a Haskell HTML templating system called Blaze: http://hackage.haskell.org/package/blaze-html

"ferm" is also a nice readable wrapper for iptables.

Seems like this would open the way for the UK ISPs which are currently obliged to block torrent sites to get that requirement overturned. BT and others pushed back against it in the first place, IIRC.

Hmm. Is there a particular repeated source of breakage? I only use MELPA, and apart from the recent nrepl->cider migration (which was intentionally piloted on MELPA) I've not had any instances where my work was hindered by package i

Or a feature. ;-) Don't forget that el-get has been popular for years, and it pulls dev versions of libraries. I don't see any compelling evidence that breakage is more frequent for MELPA users than for those who only use Marmala

Infinite scrolling (in a desktop browser) was why I stopped using Prismatic. The endlessness makes reading the news an uncomfortable, subtly stressful experience. There's an expectation that curated content should be a high-quality sub

Yes, and tossing them around gently in the colander is the ideal way to roughen the surface. This is also Raymond Blanc's method. If the water can be kept vigorously boiling, it's usually only necessary to parboil the potatoes for

Plus, as variables get added and renamed, the resulting realignment of tokens modifies lines unrelated to those changes, leading to messy diffs which degrade the effectiveness of most version control tools.

The law responsible for that was recently overturned: http://reformsection5.org.uk/ In short, it is no longer illegal to use what a policeman or court might judge to be "insulting words or behaviour".

Such a shame about InfoQ. Seems like they've got lots of interesting content, but the user experience is abysmal to the point where I now avoid the site. Would it be so bad to just let us flick through the slides?

In my personal experience, the UK ticks all these boxes, at least outside Greater London. Good state schooling and the NHS go a long way towards lowering the cost of living.

If you tell someone that the coffee you're giving them is special, won't good manners dictate that they compliment it?

The Echofon client lets you mute people you follow, or just mute their retweets, and it also lets you mute clients, e.g. Instagram or Runkeeper. That functionality has become indispensable to me, and I hate reading my timeline in other clie
