The Department of Computer Science at UNC Chapel Hill, which Fred founded in 1964, shares our official remembrance letter here: https://cs.unc.edu/news-article/remembering-departme…

"The teacher's job is to design learning experiences; not primarily to impart information." -Fred Brooks A favorite, lesser known quote of Fred's from his technical communications …

As faculty at UNC CS, I can mournfully confirm this is indeed the case. He passed peacefully at his home in Chapel Hill earlier this evening, surrounded by family.

That your commits are made locally, in a clone of the entire repository, is decentralized. Your local respiratory accrues history as divergent (and unbeknownst) from upstream as yo…

This feature is brace expansion.

FWIW, Brown University was doing research in this *Pad field (stylus-based input apps for domain specific notations) in the late 90s/2000s. I was a member of this group for a brief…

Yes, it appears to be Time Warner Cable specific (in the Triangle NC area, at least)

What I'm finding from using and talking to beta users of DidSum (referenced in another comment on this post) is that the act of physically tracking a behavior has value in building…

I'm building a mobile app, called DidSum, that focuses on your #2 "Avoid Data Entry, but Make it Easy" (and putting an API around the data). It's almost ready for broader use. I us…

I suppose I am part of your Ph.D. 'attrition' statistic. It's less atrocious than you'd think. I enrolled in Brown's Ph.D. CS computer program immediately after undergrad. In retro…

Interestingly, some dev certificates/provisioning profiles I setup in the day prior to the outage do not appear to exist anymore. It seems as though they must have reverted back to…

Braintree isn't the only HTTPS API a developer will consume. Rather than bury the knowledge of HTTPS best practice in the black box of a library, why not exemplify it in language-s…

Thanks for the heads up. Made a quick fix by taking out affix on the column. Tried to get this up pretty quickly with Bootstrap, need to spend some more time on it this weekend. So…

Good catch -- need to get that page up :) Built echo primarily to help me test wiretap so it hasn't gotten much documentation love. Will get that up this weekend.

Yep, you're right. Duly noted, thanks.

It got changed, sorry. Original title was "9 uses for cURL everyone should know". Perhaps a bit assumptive.

So you can use -I with another method, but as soon as you add a body curl refuses. Went ahead and just took that scenario out of the post -- but your redirection snippet is great.

Ah, great catch. Added a note about having to specify the method explicitly / that -I uses HEAD implicitly. Thanks!
