This works fine for me, but my body has this habit of waking up when the sun is up -- even if I've only gone to sleep a few hours ago. That also isn't a problem in itself, as I will fall asleep around 16:00 on those days and catch up whate

Here is an example from my experience: Sometimes when I'm developing, and ready to commit something I notice I've made a few unrelated changes/bugfixes. I could just commit the whole thing at once, but that makes merging a hassle because I

If you're more vulnerable by not changing the defaults, perhaps the defaults are wrong?

I regularly read HN on a Nokia e71 (using the default browser shipped by Nokia) and on a PSP. I only have two issues: 1) comments nested 5+ levels deep get a really narrow column for the text. 2) the 'mouse' cursor positioning on the e71 i

Back in 2001 I created an executable this way which runs on both linux and dos: http://320x200.org/attic/files/doslinux.asm

The point is you can look something up when you want to. I also am never entirely certain I will not re-read parts of particular books a few years later, and it's just really nice that they're just there, ready to be read even in the middl

Probably pseudo-code which resembles whichever language I most recently used to solve a similar problem. As a really low-level example, previously when I needed to make a comma separated list of items I would do something like this: $result

still useful advice, I always have two source files side-by-side. (At 1024x600 my eeepc has just enough room for a 160 column terminal in a font-size I can read).

If I understand correctly, there may be situations where you will not be notified. "The government can get this information with no notice to you at all, and can also get a court order forcing your service provider not to tell you or anyone

Interesting. I don't have #9. Ofcourse I sometimes re-use code I've written for previous projects, but mostly by forking and adapting the code for the task at hand.

I prefer Terminal.app, mostly because it uses the OS native keys for copy/paste (cmd-c, cmd-v). On windows I use putty which has keyboard paste on Shift-Insert. On linux I use gnome-terminal which has keyboard copy/paste on Ctrl+Shift+C a

I think you heavily underestimate the skill and creativity involved in creating a note-chart which is fun to play. 1. may be solvable, but you'll end up with something vastly different from the note-charts we have today. A bit like the dif

Well, I've only used repoze.who and repoze.what. I started implementing my own .auth library before I found those two. repoze.who is exactly what I had in mind for an authentication library, and much better architected than my own solution

I'm not a fan of frameworks, if their particular philosophy fits with the way you think, they're probably great. For me, they just don't seem to fit and provide a lot of bloat. I prefer to start small, and add libraries as I need them. For

I'd say using url shorteners creates "link rot and is not responsible towards the internet". Ofcourse, on twitter you often have no choice, but I blame twitter for not solving that problem.

Do you have any stats on that? I never click on ads, but I know impressions do work on me, lodging brand names into my head and all that. It seems a bit odd to me if advertisers suddenly start ignoring the value of impressions.

I have a fairly large paper notebook in my bag which is great for sketching interface mockups and taking related notes. When I'm at a computer I use a password protected server-side tiddlywiki (pytw). But that's mostly a place to get stuff

I guess I'm a control freak. Having other people invest in my idea means I have certain obligations to them, I would feel less free to go about things the way I want to. Most of all it would create a sense of urgency which I don't have no

The graphic design and introduction text on the first page (where you choose a bunny) gives the impression that you want to be different from all the other dating sites.. So ok, I sign up. First questions you're asking when creating a prof

UTF-8 uses less memory if your string happens to contain mostly characters that UTF-8 can represent in a single byte (like english text). I expect UTF-8 will actually use more memory if you're working with e.g. japanese, arabic, etc..

Twitter is a walled garden. Laconi.ca isn't, you can subscribe and respond to users on laconi.ca installations on other domains. It doesn't even have to be running the laconi.ca software, you can communicate with any domain which adheres t
