You're right! But that behavior should be a little better now.

I wrote my own replacement, which is open source here: https://github.com/sirsean/quickfeed I host it for myself, and it works quite well; no mobile app or mobile-optimized site at the moment, but for the desktop it'll do. I didn't like a

I changed Caps Lock to Control, which is extremely helpful. Especially since on the Macbook keyboard, it's tough to reach down and hit the Control button without accidentally hitting Function instead.

I've been an early employee / only programmer in a startup in the past, in which the founder said the exact same thing -- once we get to "revenue neutral," you'll get "a big share of equity." It won't happen. They only said that to keep a c

I paid mine off within about two years after graduating, but later learned that doing so wrecked my credit. (The credit score people want to see a long record of payments, not someone who quickly pays off debts in full.) I felt that it was

I ordered the original ZenPad, before learning that it was essentially a scam. After I placed the order (along with others, I'm sure), they delayed the shipment date by several weeks, putting it after the 45-day return limit for Paypal (the

Yeah, what a waste. You should cancel your subscription to save all the money you wasted by reading those 20-word snippets of text. What? It's still free? And people are still allowed to write about what they want to, and not what YOU want

OS X, 2 monitors. 8 Terminal windows, 2 fullscreen MacVim windows (with vim running the NERDTree and Buffer Explorer plugins). I do all my Java/Flex/Ruby/Python development like that, and I think it works great. I've written code generators

I take Damage Control Master Formula from Primal Nutrition; in the last six months I've lost about 30 pounds, find myself considerably less hungry than I used to be, and have a lot more energy than I did before. (That all may also be relate

The same is true of most people who use email, but email still wouldn't have become as widespread as it is today if it weren't interoperable with other email servers.

So ... why do people use Twitter, when blogs already existed?

I was also expecting to allow arbitrarily long text, as well as attachments and additional (potentially user(or client)-defined) metadata.

No, I'm young and healthy, and don't care about health care. I wouldn't go to the hospital anyway. Mainly, what's keeping me from doing it is that I'm doomed to obscurity and people tend to dislike me when they either see me, hear me talk,

It sucks. It produces almost no smoke, the cartridges that they claim "contain as much nicotine as a pack of cigarettes" last for 2 hours of intermittent puffs, the thing decides to start "cleaning" itself regularly after about a day, and t

I have to use Spring at work in a pretty large Enterprise Java environment, and our setup is not as you describe. Despite Spring's message of conformity, it doesn't actually force you to program everything as singletons and beans.

Pick the PC. If you happen to be starting at the place I work, the only way I can get a Mac is if new employees say they want a PC. Otherwise I'm stuck. I don't know if I'm next on the list, but even if not that'd get me one step closer to

Because VCs don't invest anything less than a crapload of money?

That's definitely true, and I'm sure it happens a lot. What's weird to me, then, is the frequency of crappy submissions getting enough upvotes to hit the front page while the inevitable good submissions slip through. (This, obviously, is bi

I've tried it a few times. Submitted an article I thought would be interesting to people (along the lines of "check out this small program and talk about its virtues/problems"), especially compared to the steady stream of "I'm said ... this

Heh. It probably looks like that. But determining who has "the best team" doesn't change who won the league championship. It's just an interesting footnote. (Does anyone think the Phillies were actually the "best" team in the MLB, or that t

Maybe something like this could be altered to make predictions, but that wasn't really my goal. In my league this year, there was a team that started 11-0. He thought that proved he was the best fantasy football player and had the best team
