You can hit cmd+q from the screen where it's doing the install and it will quit out and let you reboot back into your OS.

This is the most important comment in this thread here. It's not possible to start up a successful company when you're also on the brink of suicide, malnourished, and you're having…

I used Test::Unit for a long time, but I found it to be a poor tool when doing integration tests. RSpec lets me do both within the same DSL quite easily. That's probably why a lot …

Why? Facebook knew about the series B that Instagram took. They could have pulled out at any point if the acquisition didn't make any sense.

Another important point to consider is that Facebook has a pending IPO. It's very possible that they would have delayed or aborted the acquisition for some unknown reason related t…

RackSpace has a fairly sane API for building new servers. If you're not adverse to using Ruby, the fog gem is pretty awesome when building servers for Amazon and Rackspace's Cloud.…

I don't even use Jenkins... we have our test suite and autotest running while we code. Instantly know when you're done breaking stuff and ready to deploy. A CI server would be nice…

I use Roll Out or Push It as my main deploy songs as well, but it doesn't get far into the song before the deploy is done. Once in a while, I throw Muhna Muhna into the mix. I chan…

Is that really uncommon these days? I think I personally deployed code 5 times today.

I never really had any issues with Time Machine snapshotting when I don't have my external drive attached. It's worked pretty well for me. I had a lot of problems when I first inst…

People had similar complaints about Rails and now it's pretty modular and flexible with what you include/exclude. A proposal for RVM to be more modular with what it does to your sh…

I love your rig. If I worked from home as much as you do, I'd probably go the same route.

You don't have to run them as root. You can run them as a regular user. I'm pretty sure Wayne recommends against RVM system-wide and the preferred method is just installing it for …

More to the point, the company everyone was emailing had a limit on the number of emails in a given inbox. The IT department for the company could have temporarily raised that limi…

The important thing here is that most of the Android ecosystem is like this. When you buy an iPhone, you're getting exactly what you paid for. No two Androids are sold the same tho…

Maybe I'm reading between the lines here, but it seems like you want them to push harder and take more risks?

It seems like either the FBI didn't pay attention to the information given to them by DigitalOne or DigitalOne had poor information about where their servers are located. The pictu…

Ebay or your local autoparts store might have the repair manuals you're looking for. Sometime with enough hunting around you can even find a digital copy online.

2011 Subaru STI here. It's not my first rodeo though... previously I had a 2007 STI Limited (1/800) and a 1997 Mitsubishi Eclipse GSX (AWD, turbo). I refuse to buy a boring economi…

An unpatched apache is hardly an apache at all.

This is true. I get my most productive work done on the train during my commute to/from Manhattan. I have spotty internet even with a MiFi so I get to focus.

It doesn't matter if consumers mod their console or not. What the rumors suggest is that Sony had a vulnerability due to the fact that they allowed their developer consoles loosely…

It would only show the history of my iPad and not my iPhone. Neither backup is encrypted so I'm not sure why it was having a problem. It looks interesting, but it's hardly worth th…

No one actually knows what it is. A few weeks ago, my sister asked me "What's the cloud?" and I had to explain it to her. She still doesn't understand it. Microsoft and IT marketin…

Seriously. Those commercials play a pretty significant role in confusing everyone as to what the cloud is. It's going to become 2011's Web 2.0 buzz word.
