Having never had a "normal" job per se (okay, I bagged groceries for a year when I was younger), I still find it hard to believe that it can take two weeks just to get something deployed. Maybe one day I'll finally truly believe all the s

After living and working in Boston since June, here's my take, in the form of completely random thoughts: - It's generally hot as balls in summer and has already gotten quite cold. Neither of these particularly bother me, assuming A/Cs and

I bought Beginning Python from APress, read through it in a day or two, then just started hacking. From then on the only things I used were the official Python library reference and any existing code I happened to be hacking on. Occasiona

That sounds amazing. On my first day of Calculus, the Professor began by assuming we already knew Calculus because he was retiring after the Semester and had pretty much lost the will to teach. He ended up using the word "obviously" a lot a

We have Comcast and I've found that if I limit the upload to less than 50% of the cap the system never reacts.

Very interesting; thanks for the thoughts, everyone. I will check out the Mac version.

µTorrent gets a lot of praise, and for all I know rightly so, but I am curious about the advantages of µTorrent on Mac over Transmission . Glancing at the feature list, it seems like they're pretty equivalent.

How convenient, considering I am returning to Vim after a very long absence! Step 1: Start reading online. Step 2: Buy it because releasing books for free is friendly.

No due dates. That's something that helps me. If I give something a due date, I will procrastinate until the due date has arrived (or in the case of non-critical stuff, I might just not do it at all). It doesn't even matter what the task is

Perhaps phrasing your original comment differently would help clarify: "That's because you don't have children" You haven't actually proven me wrong in any sense, you've just presented an alternate reality where I would be wrong, which

Bulverism is not a valid form of argument. I would likely sing a different tune were I currently on fire, so I fail to see your point.

One time I outsourced the creation of a simple Wordpress template which I didn't have time to do. I paid $300. Despite being given a pre-cut Photoshop file, the people could not figure out simple CSS bugs or even create the CSS necessary

Judging by my lifestyle, I'll be dead before any of those issues can kill me. So, basically, I'm impervious to this destruction!

Thank you! My intuition was correct about the '{}', but the rest was educational.

You won't be disappointed. The only things I'm a bigger snob about than beer and women is music and movies ;)

Yes, some , but not most . I switched from Subversion to Git myself a couple months ago and it took a week or two, but I learned "the git way" of doing things. Yes, I would need to look up the command to remove a remote branch, but I have

Version control in general is not meant for "ordinary users"; it's for developers. I mean, sure, it can serve as a versioning system for just about anything, but it is overwhelmingly used for code. Git doesn't need to be easy for my Dad t

Yeah, it sucks not being able to remember much from my childhood, but it's quite convenient to essentially be reborn every few years. The timing thing can become an issue... Mom: "Well hello, stranger!" Me: "Come on, I just called you guys

Oh, well if you're referring to petty, childish stuff like that, I have no argument. Telling the difference can be hard sometimes, so all I can really recommend is that you keep an open mind. You seem to be doing that, though. American B

Wow. If there were ever a person my opposite with regard to memory, it would be this woman. I can't recall what I had for dinner the day before yesterday (just ate left over pizza from last night so I'm not sure if that's cheating) and ov

Yep, stopped at the illegible header, and... are those horizontal rules bleeding into the text? The post should have simply said, "Look at what I did. Now do whatever you think is the opposite of that."

I didn't look at all the pages, but Google News' 1310 errors are caused in large part by the fact that they don't even declare a doctype. The use of the font tag (and not even quoting attribute values) is pretty embarrassing, but as prev

Kind of makes me wonder what they're doing with that 15¢ per message many people end up paying... those bytes must be more volatile than I gave them credit for.

I saw the translation first-hand over a number of years. There used to be a forum community I was a part of (it was regarded by some as a spin-off of the Something Awful forums, but that's another story). Many moons ago (roughly 4-5 years o

Coincidentally, our new issue of Wired arrived today and I suggested that they weren't at risk of going under so long as at least 50% of the magazine is ads. At least until people stop buying it because of that.

I would probably say something along the lines of, "You've been lucky enough to be born in a time and place where there is nothing you cannot do; the world is there for the taking, so stop sitting around and go fucking take it already!" To

While I would not call it "entirely repulsive," the act of random sex has always been far less fulfilling for me. We are also some of the rare males who consider it possible to have "bad" sex. I collectively refer to us as: Connoisseurs ;)

I believe in the end it was something that deserved an apology, but doing so certainly did compromise my personal integrity. I guess compromising it one time won't kill me.

why didn't you just say that you acknowledge that you have a dark and twisted sense of humour and that you won't apologise for it? I never apologized for my personality; to do so would have been disingenuous. As some have noted, I never s
