   If I find I'm running the same command several times I map it to a shortcut key (very easy to do in LightTable). It doesn't take long before I hardly ever hit Ctrl+space.

   Anyone care to summarize what this is about? From what I gather these are 30C3 recordings from a CCC-TV website. The recordings have titles like FPGA 101 and Programming FPGAs with PSHDL.. There is no about page and the home page has furthe

   Well, they're not taking that away from you. You can still get started with the basics. But even node apps can get big. It's the debugging story I'm really digging here. Being able to just set a breakpoint and hit f5 is real

   It seems odd that there are more projects using Rails than Rake. What kind of Rails project would not use Rake?

   I use it as - a backup. All important files, pictures go there. My phone automatically copies all my pictures to Dropbox. (although I occassionally move them over to Skydrive to keep within my limit) - a git repository - a way to share file

    I remember when my business went bust, the amount of stress I went through in those final weeks was so intense that the sense of relief I felt when it was finally over meant I was smiling during the post announcement beers. And that was my

    I was really impressed with it just this morning. I've recently moved to Emacs and just couldn't work out how to create a new file. Everything just said it should be C-x f. But this just didn't work. Get into work today where

    What do you code? That awesome looks um.. awesome. Never come across it before. I have an old netbook here that has a broken trackpad. I might be tempted to give it a go with that.

    It does show the importance of choosing a good title to attract enough attention to get to the front page. This is textbook copy writing.

    That's a good point. I'm a c# coder by day and it amazes me how uninterested my coworkers tend to be about learning anything outside of the c# ecosystem, and even then they are largely happy with what they know. To them the comman

    The app on my phone makes me add two two digit numbers together before it switches off. It gives me just enough time to engage my brain to calculate how many more snoozes I can get away with.

    Am I missing something? Clearly I am - these online courses are hugely popular, it blows me away seeing how many people have paid for certain courses on Udemy. I've tried running through a few courses on Coursera and whilst they are in

    Yes I see. So, I assume there must be a quicker way to work out x ^ n that incorporates wrapping than just doing x = x * x % y repetitively. Darn it, my maths is getting rusty in my old age.

    So if decrypting an RSA encoded message just involves multiplying the message by itself x amount of times, couldn't you just do keep multiplying until the result message makes sense, then you have discovered x? Sure in the example the

    Hmm.. it would also mean that somewhere in pi there is a sequence of 1 trillion consecutive zeros.

    This is much needed, although I'm not sure about separating your services and directives out by page in the directory structure. These are generally going to be shared components that can be used by multiple pages.

    This is where REST just breaks down. In any app I've written it always gets to the stage where I'm left with the choice of breaking away from a truly restful api, or firing off multiple requests. Sometimes REST wins, sometimes eff
