In 2007 DST changed and Mexico did not follow suit, so the short PST/EST/CST timezones were not specific enough anymore. Here is an excerpt from Wikipedia ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pacific_Time_Zone ): Effective in the US in 2007 as a

This host-your-site-on-s3 stuff inspired me to write a simple static site generator that I can evolve with my needs. I've been using soywiki a lot, so I built it to use a "site" namespace in my soywiki and am using watchr to figure out when

I think the question still applies. How much your time is worth does not need to be hypothetical - it can take into consideration how much your employer (presumably your startup) can afford to pay you for your time.

I have spent the last year or so having false starts on learning Haskell; I would reach an impasse as soon as I start asking "what will I use this for." Once I decided to learn Haskell as a companion language for learning more math and com

+1 for Capistrano, we use it to deploy Rails, Sinatra, and PHP apps. gem install capistrano-ext and you can do easy multi-stage deploys (deploy a different branch to your staging/testing/beta server by doing cap staging deploy vs. cap prod

It sounds like the author just played around with Haskell for fun. You run up against the types of issues discussed in this post when you don't have the option of avoiding them. If you are working on a project where the goal is to create

Anyone else notice they were writing PHP and said it was Perl? Great movie, though. Amazing to see a popular film come out and do a decent job of portraying a software guy.

The most satisfying way I've found to relax and wind down is doing something completely unrelated to work that involves focus, and even better, a practiced skill. Watching a movie or reading a book can mostly take my mind off work, but it

I think the best user experience you're going to get is by giving the user as much information as possible. Throbbers deliver almost no information (just an indication that something is probably happening); progress bars exceed that a bi

If you do end up playing with this, take a look at node.js and socket.io. Here is the relevant part for tailing a file over ssh: var tail = spawn('ssh', ['user@yourserver.com', 'tail', '-f', '/path/to/some.log']); tail.stdout.addListener('

I took 3 terms of discrete math from him at the University of Oregon a few years back. He was a great instructor and really smart guy that knows more about knots than I realized could be known at the time.

Anyone have insight into the timing of this? I understand they have been looking for someone for a while and this timing may simply be a result of an ongoing process coming to a close... but at the same time I'm sure there has been a lot go

Being able to recognize areas you're motivated to improve upon is an incredibly valuable skill. Just in this post I see the following: 1) You have side projects and experiments that have interesting enough ideas behind them that you think

Fast enough quad-core proc, 8 gb ram, 24" monitor, xmonad on ubuntu. Will probably end up with another monitor here soon, just haven't decided if I should get another 24 or something smaller that I can run vertically.

I think tl;dr differs from a summary in that it is written as a response to hostility coming from someone who thinks the post is verbose. When I have seen it used, it has consistently been more terse and to the point than summaries general

My 2 cents: Go for (1), keep several potential future use cases in mind, and make damn sure you don't architect yourself out of those being natural directions for the code to go. Often this leads you to stub out an interface that looks lik
