I do remember Greymatter when blogging was young, it was Perl-based and it was mostly replaced by Movable-type, also Perl-based before WP finally came to dominate the scene. Textpattern was also popular for a while. I believe Wordpress deri

When I learned English (second language) I remember thinking "wow, wonderful, the language of multiplication tells you exactly what to do!" which I read as, in this case 5 × 3 => "[five times] three" 3+3+3+3+3, as the

This whole discussion is ridiculous. When you customize your vim key bindings, you do so either on your machine, or your profile on some remote server. One does not mess with other's computers or settings. But ... > Or it's ba

This works great on my Linux machine. On the Mac though I hate that all Mac apps use Command for well, all command-key combinations instead of Ctrl, so I map the Caps-lock to Command instead, but while Karabiner can do the dual "Esc on

Anecdote. I am originally from México, living in the U.S. for over 20 years now where I have not, in all that time, had a problem with police. I've been stopped, and treated with respect. In México as a teen it was not the horror stori

You make a good point. What prompted my comment was remembering when we were hitting the 3B mark and there were dire predictions, some efforts to curb population growth worked, a few too well (Japan, Europe). But thanks to the green revolut

I live in Phoenix, AZ. The temperature map in the article seems to show that for this area the July temperature difference from 1951-1980 average is in the lowest segment (-2 to 2). It had been my impression that it was noticeably hotter th

Good one. At least they do consume milk and milk products. Otherwise 32M diabetics too [1]. Of course, it could be mostly form the non-vegetarian among them, but even in that case it would be a higher than expected portion of the population

Is this somewhat equivalent of Sonic Pi? http://github.com/samaaron/sonic-pi http://sonic-pi.net/ Maybe not Sonic seems focused on live performing.

I am now curious. How do you determine that people "go on" about others not growing up versus people reflecting about their stage in life and how others seemingly, and sometimes quite objectively, have not? How does C.S. Lewis fig

I'll reveal myself as one, having bought in the 80's an Atari ST, but my Amiga companions would also fall into this category. Heck for much of its early history Mac users could be called harbingers of failure, until the advent of

I also have a definite preference about what I allow into my digestive system, but if I happen to be in a group that, as a group, expresses a preference for where to go for a meal, I'll be flexible and eat the best way possible within

Yes, do all of that, and remember, you may still have some time left to code every day, if that's what you want. Doesn't mean finish a big project every day, but you can advance it, or not, something just for the heck of it. Even

I've tried the instructions (npm run setup) on both a Mac and Ubuntu and resulted on several screen-fulls of npm ERR! messages. Again killed my mild curiosity for React.

ah sill me, I now noticed you do include absolute time in the UI, I missed it on first look, so I would prefer it being the more prominent one. Perhaps a setting?

I like the UI concept, quite cool. I've been a user for reminders since for…ever and in my experience I rarely need relative time (something in 30 min.) vs. absolute time (remind me 5 minutes before 10 O'Clock), and of course Cale

It seemed to me Mr. Cook's statements could be in reaction to Google's strategy with their Now service http://www.wired.com/2015/05/google-now-io/ I don't know that Siri can compete with that.
