I agree. It's never been a problem of aesthetics to me; it ruins the relevance of inline links. If the link said something like "Buffalo Bills ticket trends" then linking to somewhere like SeatGeek would make a lot of sense. That's not what

A very cool and useful tool though I hope the irony of a testing tool without tests isn't lost on Eric ;) Will definitely keep an eye on this one.

I wouldn't say "pay with your PayPal account" because that makes it seem like you need a PayPal account -- they also accept credit cards for those without accounts.

Or, "Why I Use Mailman and Spam Filtering". I just talked to a list moderator about this issue yesterday, actually. It's highly annoying and some project contributors have actually posted on lists to say "Sorry, there's too much spam, I'm

I don't know if the iMac is as upgradable, but when I bought my Mac Pro I just got the default amount and upgraded it with third-party RAM at a sane price.

Another personal anecdote: I developed severe pain in my mousing wrist and switched to a trackball. Within a week of switching all pain was gone.

Dan was always great at making everybody feel like his friend -- the crazy part is that he was pretty much always sincere about it! He was definitely the reason we met you in the first place (hell, he's the reason I know a lot of people) an

He most certainly was; thank you! He was always the one person who couldn't be phased. I still don't know how it came to this.

Unfortunately, the way I found him pretty much rules that out. I'm foregoing description to be kind to family and friends, but it wasn't something you accidently do. A couple minor things he did directly beforehand which would seem complete

I'm glad you took it upon yourself to write a poignant note; I couldn't have done him justice. The picture damn near made me tear up. Thank you.

Their investigation of the scene pretty much ruled it out. Autopsy results take 4-10 weeks.

Tom here. I am exhausted so pardon the informality and lack of feeling. Questions, etc. please contact me. Paul has a note that he's going to be posting on the YC blog at some point; try to keep discussion to one post, for my sanity. I will

It's a risky position for TC to take, though; now they can't make link-bait claims tomorrow about how Wave is an utter failure and a sinking ship that will eventually bring down all of Google.

I was wondering when somebody was going to put out a consumer-grade LCD so terrible that a consumer actually noticed . Even Macs use sub-par panels and nobody seems to notice. I await the day when I am not considered a "Professional" for r

The Internet has been indispensable in my quest to find up-and-coming artists! Many of the bands I've learned about have been introduced at random by Pandora. I've gone on to buy quite a few albums (and seen shows) thanks to that passive di

If file sharing does directly contribute to lost revenue then that revenue wasn't ever (or is no longer) deserved. I pay for music, but only when I think it's really warranted. Artists have to prove to me that what I'm buying is worth pay

It's gotten to the point now where the first thing I say about any editor is, "That's cool and all... but does it have vim key bindings?" If it doesn't.... :q I don't care how many built-in debuggers your IDE has; if I can't navigate it l

Custom ignore files, for one. I don't need it to sync .git, .swp, etc. It's an amazing service as-is, but it can be better (for power users, anyway).

On the topic of testing, it's only currently viable to write tests for bugs which occur in the future and that are properly caught (I recently caught one completely by accident because it wasn't caught by our alert system). Going back and t

You know, it is a great book and I love Jamie's interview and the "duct tape" style was used well at Netscape, but just because the guy doesn't writing unit tests or use higher-level abstractions doesn't automatically make him better than

You'd be surprised how difficult it is to create an extremely fast, scalable architecture for crawling web sites. Took me a few months, anyway (and would probably take a few more to make it "fill in a web form and go" usable). After that, t

Hey, here's a novel idea: how about we stop defining what is and isn't "something good" to use large-scale hardware for! Your wife's comment wasn't funny; it was pompous, pretentious and shortsighted. I don't play WoW myself, but apparent

It started off by making fun of people who post things on blogs... in a blog post. I stopped reading after that.

taglist.vim gets you most of the way there, unless you have ridiculously long functions or something.

Garry promised me Markdown was after theming. I'm giving him a day, then I'm breaking his legs.

I just like when people who have neither the skill nor motivation to change the world berate others for not doing so. I prefer when writers provide extraordinary prose, too, but she has no prayer of doing that.

Not all of Twisted's documentation is bad. And if folks can't figure out the docs, Jean-Paul and Glyph are available to help in IRC and know everything about Twisted (since as far as I know they represent 90%+ of the current contribution an
