my thought exactly, why not just buy a smaller screen and get on with code?

At least it's tuned to the bias of the RNG on the device.

I for one welcome our new SMTP overlords which support deletion instead of archiving of messages.

I find 16GB satisfactory. If I would store tons of videos and audio I'd want more but I stream all the audio and video. (I agree that it's a huge profit maker for them though).

I think it's possible to come into programming from lots of other disciplines, one example is Philosophy. Reading code is quite similar to doing argument analysis. I think it's also easy to stare oneself blind on low-level stuff. We need pe

"At its roots, Bitcoin is based on some rather clever mathematics, ironically the same primitives that keep our credit cards secure when buying things online." What is he talking about? SSL? What about credit cards is encrypted?

Why do you have a hooded figure that's making the gesture I wonder, at least for soccer fans it evokes the notion that it's a hooligan - if you're trying to get the user to relate. I'd go for hood off and see some non-gender specific hair.

"ecosystem" in regards to computer software has got to be one of the worst analogies. It invokes all sort of mushy animistic preconceived notions from way back when, like the concept of divine harmony. I much preferred when people talked a

I have the happy hacking keyboard professional 2. It's fantastic. The reason the [fn] key is positioned off, and it's hard to get at the arrow keys, is because the HHKB was specifically designed to make it hard to use the arrow keys, as the

Can't live like that. Gotta be console. Why not have something like command-T in TextMate or bash completion that finds what you are looking for. I find that it's worth getting familiar with how to quickly search the api docks. I have a poo

Yeah, it's pretty a bad practice blocking on user agent. Re: Opera - I just think it's a pain and an unwanted cost to support Opera. Though my dislike for Opera comes mainly from having developed mobile apps for a long time and having to de

Doesn't that say more about Opera than Myspace? It even works in lynx. https://twitter.com/tuxtux/status/250605928691417088/photo/1...

Dissing apple surely beds for a higher page-view count. I'm sure the problems with the maps will be fixed soon. Nobody knows the real reason, or combination of reasons why Apple is not using Google Maps. It could be Apple and it could be Go

The ruby prompt Irb has _ as the value for the result of last expression as in Perl, it's pretty handy. Didn't know this that it could be used in destructuring like in Erlang.

Or you could use a caching strategy, like enabling cache in apache.

Cheez, the reason to not use Sinatra for me is that I'd have to implement all the security measures myself. Sure for a hobby project or a really simple project it might be OK. I guess it all depends on what budget you have for spending time

I see what you mean. I just don't think great programming skills are needed to do most of what accounts for programming work these days. Load a couple of objects from the database, change something, put it back and display some HTML, as lon

Gaah this is such a strawman, and the gender aspects of it, a woman who cannot code but is a great coworker, talk about stereotypes. Obviously trolling but I cannot help but bite. The first thing one has to ask is, what kind of programming

Yep, this is almost exactly what I do normally with vim, but that I have another column for nerdtree and possibly 6-8 splits. I find that it's pretty easy to move around, and that I can bring out tabs with a work-area for each thing I'm wor

I think it's because most startup founders are not very interested in getting hired. Hard to poach people who doesn't want to let down their team, and maybe the team is what you want anyway. Also easier to have a lock-in for a couple of yea

One thing that keeps me from considering Eventmachine mature is that the built in http clients are very crude and undocumented. Example: to get working error handling one needs to use an external http client library like igrigoriks em-http-

Yep, this is the reason open source tools are the best to "rely" on. I prefer open-source code editors, because if I'm gonna take the effort to master their more advanced features, I want them to stay available. I'm thinking of switching ba
