Does anyone know an efficient way to have vim update the ctags file as you work? I find myself always forgetting to update the tags.

I was in the same group as you guys but lately I've started using Instapaper's Kindle export feature to read long articles (NYT, etc) on my Kindle. It's a really good experience. Try it out.

What subreddits do you frequent? I'm interested in social games and game mechanics, though not so much "serious" game programming like OpenGL.

This must have been poor placement of the camera rig because I've heard good things about this place and these photos don't measure up.

If anyone is wondering how it works: the vim script (vmail.vim) sets up a series of buffers. It uses regular Unix shell commands to vmail_client to populate them and interact with mail, such as flagging messages. vmail_client is some Ruby c

landing page could use some more inviting photography and the color scheme could be more suited to the subject matter other than that i have no suggestions, because i never leave the house.

What a waste of resources. They could have simply released the Involver SDK for PHP to supplant Facebook's terrible SDK, without having to do all the extra backflips and convince people to learn/use their language.

Anyone out there actually using Salesforce.com's APIs and dev tools? I know they're a huge force in the marketplace but I rarely run into anyone who even understands their offerings in depth. Though the enterprise end of things may not be a

Can anyone with more technical knowledge comment on this facility's connectivity to the internet, and how damage-resistant that is? If someone were to forcibly take Wikileaks offline, I would think internet connectivity would be the easiest

Can anyone summarize other software options in the pub/sub market for me? I have a project now that uses Redis' BLPOP with a timeout to implement something similar to pub/sub, but I'd like a more robust solution that does that kind of think

And to think how much time I spent last month recommending these guys, especially the Facebook-friendly Fremont data center. Awkkkk-ward.

I've also observed that off site factors (incoming links) trump onsite factors (optimizing content and producing more of it). I think Google feels that it's way easier for a black hat to come up with great SEO-focused content then it is for

You can always suspend your account and start it back up later. Facebook will preserve all your information for you.

Those friends of yours imported their email address books into Facebook. Your email was in there, but you were not a user, and your friends did not invite you, until that last one did. When he decided to invite you, it was able to tell you

That would be fantastic. They could also give you a discount for large deposits; i.e., deposit 3X your average monthly usage and save 5%.

It doesn't matter how much it costs. I still don't want to lose my backups due to financial circumstances. I would say a fire destroying multiple safe places to store a backup (i.e., leaving a flash drive or DVD at my partner's home) is a l

The problem with backing up with S3 is that if you ever stop paying for S3 you lose your backups. If you get sick for a month and your bank balance goes negative, or the IRS takes control over your account for something, there go your backu

I think this is a great business to be in right now. As others have said, I'd include screenshots and details about the optimization process works , not the monitoring bits and referral tracking - after all, most people already have a very

bbcode: So you'll let people enter HTML, or do you just not think anyone should have to include an image on a forum ever? quoting: Taking your thought further, what's wrong with retype quoting?

That isn't how the "Like" social plugin works. The site doesn't know anything about you. FB, on the other hand, does know you visited that porn site though I expect that amount of data is too much for them to store for long. They will of co

- Editable quoting (no cut and paste) - Decent bbcode, but nothing complex - Good search functions (in this thread, in this forum, on all forums, for one user). Google Search sometimes gets it wrong and that can be very frustrating.

it will ultimately cause users to spend more time on site when they can send sms or email very easily through FB. for instance, i neglect to use FB chat a lot because i'm not sure if the user is really logged in - if it instantly became an

Anyone else feel that some concrete examples of the different kinds of state and how the error kernel is designed in a real application would be very helpful.

Can anyone think of a common case where a request variable is included directly in a header? I can see why it would happen (in terms of the programmer misusing his easily available tools) but I can't think of a likely case for it in practic

When you say "intentionally" are you referring to the recent UID leaks? If anything Facebook is doing more to protect user privacy now with their "no exporting your friends email" policies.

I've always found this language interesting, especially because of its early commercial usage, but I haven't seen many first hand accounts of its use. Anyone care to chime in?
