The dollar-bill one? I'm curious as to why that post is the one that killed it for you -- I thought it was kind of cute. There have been a couple of posts that have prompted me to wonder why I bother reading SvN, but that one seemed harml

It probably goes without saying, but the source behind the calagator.org site is freely available: http://github.com/calagator

Yeah, I read DDJ back in the day. And yes, I felt that sense of excitement. What I was wondering is, how did they do it? I think you're onto something with the two-fold "Here's something new to do, and here's how you can do it."

What would it take for a publication to have that feel?

I've seen dozens of those "personal failures." :-) Granted, backwards ABI compatibility is a huge, complicated, thankless task for which you get no notice if you do the job perfectly. The ideal spot for the "break old programs" vs. "crippl

Exactly! I've worked for big companies that have done dumb things, and my bosses and co-workers have consistently taken the attitude of, "I'm sorry this has happened. I'm forwarding the information about this problem to so-and-so." Then the

With Mercurial, you can either use queues and the "qref" command to continually prep a commit in progress, or use the "record" extension (like an interactive Git commit) to pick and choose parts of the working tree to commit. I suppose it's

It certainly reads like a deliberately over-the-top rant, mixing in a little comic exaggeration as a spoonful of sugar to help the "TDD won't solve all your problems" medicine go down. Alas, it's difficult to tell if the strawmen being sett

On the upside, it may be easier to add keys to the ring, since you can grip it by the fixed key while you're forcing the new key through the tracks. On the downside, how do you remove a key from the ring without the other keys getting in th

I did. It was actually TextMate that got me back into Emacs after all these years. I needed something at work on my not-a-Mac that was as good as TM. e and InType were close, but fell into the (sorry in advance for the cliche) uncanny va

Believe it or not, this is still better than ClearCase.

"The lawyer who volunteers at a soup kitchen... is giving up X dollars per hour of income to provide far less than X dollars per hour of charity." What about the lawyer who does pro bono legal work for the same soup kitchen? Or (closer to

"And Arthur Brooks told me that giving goes beyond their own religious organization" I'm curious as to the percentage that goes outside givers' own churches. "when they give, they give more money" I'd also be curious to find out whether or

I've used forests on a few projects. On the upside, the commands don't cause unpleasant surprises; it's easy to guess what they'll do. But there are still far too many extra steps to do simple things like clone a remote forest and get all

Except that they didn't even quite get that right. The article seems to contrast git and hg's versioning schemes, when in reality they're both hashes of the content (the non-unique hg version numbers referred to are merely local aliases).

The one I keep forgetting is ":q!" (really!). I think it's some kind of brain defect on my part.

InType and e are fairly TextMate-ish. The latter costs money, and the former has announced plans to set a price. They're both basic but usable, and compatible to some degree with TextMate snippets / bundles.
