I just use Bitbucket—unlimited private repos with caps on how many users are allowed to use each one. For one-person projects it's ideal. Github's main value proposition over Bitbucket is its community...but that's a moot poi

At least with CL there's a certain logic to it. getf => get form, setf => set form, setq => set quote, etcetera. All languages are guilty of this—I used to be bothered by Python's len() and Ruby's .uniq() and so on a

Maybe I'm being too harsh, but I feel like anyone who considers this a good idea isn't a sufficiently-Pythonic thinker to be writing Python anyway. Python isn't just a language--it's a culture, and one of that culture&#x

I watched the video, and don't understand the value-add here. Our team uses a number of tools, chiefly Pivotal, and we've never had a problem. Everyone knows what they need to do before releasing because they have Pivotal stories,

Groupon is headquartered in Chicago, but has a big office in Palo Alto. Very modern tooling, decent compensation, working from home is fine, keeping your own hours is fine, 40 hour weeks (including lunch) is the norm, interesting problems.

I'm building my product for the explicit reason that I want to use it. Its value to other people is just a (very) nice bonus.

This is indeed exactly what happend at my lower/middle/high school--we received a full paragraph from each teacher evaluating our performance every trimester. Doing so at a college scale would be too costly. But you do have all th

As much as I would love to sit here carrying on about how Information Wants to be Free, I do appreciate where she's coming from. YBB forced to students to actually read course evals and apply critical thinking to their class selection.

Oh wow. Mine (2010) was in Java, and featured elementary OOP (class/object distinction, inheritance, abstract classes vs. interfaces, polymorphism) and array/ArrayList usage. And reading—but not writing—recursive functions. Implem

I'm a diehard Vim user, but have had to use ST+Vintage to pair on a coworker's computer. It's great for about ten seconds. Then your brain gets tricked into thinking it's actually Vim, tries an unsupported shortcut, an

How would he establish reputability? I trust rvm.io or brew.sh or whatever else as much (or even more) than I'd trust curl.sh, but there's always the risk that the site has been compromised by a third party, or there's a MITM

Android's prevalence isn't the victory for Linux that you say it is. Linux is much more about a culture of openness and freedom than it is about the specific kernel used. I—a diehard Linux fan—would be much happier to have a BSD f

I'm struggling to feel sympathy here: a) He owns a top-of-the-line phone, yet complains about being poor. b) He owns a phone that makes it trivially easy maintain backups in the cloud, and yet didn't think that his livelihood was

The connotation of that is flipped by its corollary: the less masters you serve, the less pleasures you have.

I'm sure I could subsist on a very minimal salary. But what would I be left doing? I enjoy traveling, I enjoy playing several musical instruments, I enjoy owning a reasonable computer (granted, my main laptop is a $300 eBay find), I

Please tell me you're a non-QWERTY user. It'd require specific concentration to mistype QWERTY otherwise...

Fellow MessagEase user here. It's absolutely fantastic. It's great at non-dictionary words and special characters (there's no need to press a magic option key to switch to the symbol set), as mentioned above. Two other things

While I think that proper em dash usage—like this—looks fantastic, I'd be happy enough if somebody just ran s/ - /--/g on the internet.

An email can have multiple labels. And labels can be nested. They really are glorified tags.

I grew up playing the piano, then went on hiatus for two or three years, then took a year of harpsichord lessons (harpsichords have significantly lighter action. And narrower keys.) Now playing a piano is downright painful--I'm no lo
