I still prefer using well-formed XML when serving HTML, even if it is HTML5 being served as text/html. I like being able to use XML tools when dealing with html, e.g. XPath queries in automated tests, etc.. This obviously does take some ef

Yes. Never rebase unless you are absolutely certain that branch has never been published to anyone. Whenever you want to rebase your branch on top of some other branch, just merge into your branch instead.

Using EUR 500 notes would help a bit, though even then you'd have several suitcases.

Indeed. A work-around would be to fetch the gravatars in the backend and serve them yourself, that way you will not have to expose the hash.

Yes, "mc -a" is deeply ingrained into my muscle memory for the specific situation where I need to copy/move a few files out of a directory with lots of other files.

I built a linux from scratch a long time ago (before that page existed). You'll learn a lot about how a linux distribution is put together, but that isn't in itself particularly useful. Such knowledge seems most useful if you're working on

Itemize feature X is often very difficult. Instead of itemizing all of feature X in one go, just figure out what the next item is that needs to be done to move towards feature X and write only that single item on the to do list.

I switched to a FREDRIK after the previous HN discussion on standing desks. In general, I am quite happy with it, but some notes from my experience: You cannot adjust the height of the shelves without taking most of the desk apart. The inc

Video streaming performance of silverlight seems better compared to flash, on those sites which support it (e.g. on demand viewing of dutch public tv, omroep.nl). So I have it installed on the machines I use to consume online media. I do n

The AGPL (like the GPL) does not allow adding more restrictions. You do not need any further license to use AGPL licensed code in a commercial product, you just have to abide by the license terms of the AGPL. I assume the 10gen commercial

A very important difference for me is that jslint is not under a GPL-compatible license. jslint looks like open source, but isn't. Closure Linter is under Apache v2, which is GPLv3 compatible.

When dealing with websites the GPL is almost a liberal license. There is no requirement for a server operator of GPL'ed software to share the code with the users of that software. If you want to copyleft the code and make sure ALL users o
