Same here, so many hours. I'm still a moderator on the developer's forum, though I haven't been active in years. Nova was also fun, I'll never forget the hours spent downloading the betas over a 33.6 modem, they were over 70MB!

As someone who works on a project that extensively uses LLBLGen Pro I'd have to disagree with you.

You clearly haven't used the ViewSonic monitors I have at work. They take a good 20 seconds to turn on from standby. It's most frustrating as I use them as externals for my laptop. The laptop display springs in to life, but as I have one of

I recently did exactly the same thing with my PS3. I had an hour to kill, but it took overnight downloading the updates. For comparison, I can download from Steam at over 5Mbps. The PS3 took 20 minutes to download a 50MB update. My TV on th

I left the page more confused than when I started. The argument seems to string together a bunch of things that don't seem quite related. Sure, a one new thing without the other new things it expects is bad, but older browsers won't support

As someone who's started moving from the imperative world, albeit in Java, C# and Ruby based work rather than JavaScript, I can say that letting go is the hardest part. However, when you learn to stop worrying and let the runtime decide it'

ASP.NET MVC works pretty well these days. It's open-ish source as well, as in you don't need to pay to deploy it on Mono. I've used it with NHibernate for the ORM and Postgres.

They all have issues - sure - but I've never encountered one so likely to break so spectacularly. Then again, it feels like ActiveRecord is a more complex beast than most others I've used. I've mostly used Hibernate and NHibernate, and SQLA

A lot of enterprise spam filters are triggered by a burst of incoming mail from a single sender, sending one email with a bunch of to: is less likely to trigger them. I've had to deal with too many stupid spam filters in my life.

I've stopped building on Rails because of things like this. Point releases shouldn't break functionality. I got tired of regression testing my apps for framework changes.

If you're talking about a project with thousands of classes in a similar number of files, with auto-generated code from an ORM as part of it. Yes. Search takes at least a minute. Class view is only useful if you know the namespace. Go To De

You're missing the 'Cats in <name of city> are waiting for you!', with the name of a city ~800km from where you are.

That depends. I tend to leave small support classes in the same file, but anything public goes to file per type. Why? Because I have to work with people who don't have resharper installed, and without resharper it's near impossible to find

Yes, order of files in a project matters. If Things.fs contains type Foo and Main.fs uses it, then the project must look like MyProj |- Things.fs |- Main.fs Visual Studio has a few functions to manage this order. The benefi

That's hardly a fair comparison, the equivalent Haskell to the Clojure example is fairly similar, though my Haskell is a bit rusty at this point. sum = 1 + 2 greet name = "Hello " ++ name usercount = 34 I'm not 100% sure what the

I remember many years ago having to explain to a client that disabling right clicks to prevent 'image stealing' wouldn't work. They weren't really concerned with how difficult it made normal usage, but the astonishment when I demonstrated d

Um what? If your hashing library hasn't been tested with a arbitrary sequences of bytes you have bigger problems than limiting user input to 12 characters.

This looks really good. At work we're using Git with GitHub Enterprise, and while training has solved most problems there's still the occasional complaint about the tools. I hope this works well in the VS workflow, Microsoft are making some

That's similar to my kitchen as well. These days I do have a lot of random appliances, mostly from loyalty rewards. They're handy, but the only one I regularly use is my electric mixer. No need to a stand mixer!

Then politely decline the meeting invite, instead of wasting people's time when they could be doing real work.. or checking hacker news.

I'm another who hates people who do this. I make the effort, you're wasting my time. I do understand sometimes there are circumstances beyond your control - for example at my last dentist visit they were 15 minutes late due to a medical sit

They don't give stats on corporate installs though, and I would bet that most Windows licences are to corporates. I'd be willing to bet that the majority of users aren't able to purchase their own software.

It is where I work. There was a bit of nervousness since most Microsoft shops are very adverse to change, but it's taking hold.

I've noticed this watching the Indycar races. In NZ they come over Sky Sport, which doesn't really have ads. If it's in the middle of a race we stay with the live feed while the US breaks for ads. I don't know how you manage to watch sports

unblock-us.com will get you access to iPlayer, both recorded and streaming. Not sure about other channels though, never watch them.

No matter what I try I only get the demo race. Guess something's playing silly buggers on my network :/

It's also my preference but I tend to sit further from the screen than most people I know who use Windows. I find it easier to read from my preferred distance.

What's happening here is freetype2 (and to a greater extent Windows) are grid-fitting the fonts. They anchor the font to the nearest pixel via a rather complex algorithm, and then anti-alias that. You can see exactly what's happening on Win
