   Sort of unrelated, but looks like you just gave me a nice big list of Linux audio programs to check out :)

   Good riddance. I'd say two-thirds of the last few computers I've had to fix for friends or relatives involved malware from LimeWire.

   I always seem to learn at least one new trick with each of these.

   Great practical advice. I still pipe cats though because it's just more intuitive to me for setting up complex pipes.

   This looks very helpful. I've had some trouble migrating from a GUI Subversion client to command-line Git.

   You can? I thought Farmville needed Flash. EDIT -- Didn't realise I was just completing your thought for you. Sorry.

    Read about this yesterday. Still can't believe that a web company could get so big without somebody screaming to hash the damn passwords.

    I really disliked working with JavaScript until Douglas Crockford told me it was Scheme with C syntax, and then, suddenly, everything made sense and I actually began to enjoy it.

    This is why I keep reading Hacker News. Excellent practical advice!

    Yeah. I used to love Bash but these days anything that takes more than a couple of lines I just use Perl. Its ubiquity helps a lot.

    I quite like using for loops for that. I use it a lot for batch audio conversion with ffmpeg: for f in *.wma; do ffmpeg -i "$f" "${f/.wma/.mp3}"; done

    I love this sort of stuff. The first few "top ten" command line tricks articles I found back when I was enthralled with the power of the Bash shell have probably saved entire days of my life by now.

    It looks clever, but I don't think I'd use it. I don't really want another layer of abstraction between my keyboard and my HTML -- I'd sooner write it directly, closing tags and all.

    Some people seem to find Jeff Atwood ranting about how fantastic regexes are annoying. Every time I read another article like that, though, I just find myself smiling and nodding. Only thing that's kind of annoying is that the whole world h

    I find that the best ambient music is often stuff you really like, but have played so much you know every note by heart. The familiarity of it, particularly if you play it loud enough that it's thoroughly immersive, is really helpful for ge

    I want to like Inkscape but I just find it too hard to use. Can you recommend any resources for learning how to use it?

    Upvoted for Firebug. If you've been a web developer for any length of time and you're not using this yet, start now . Prepare for the forehead slap when you learn to use the console!
