You could probably set up an alias for that in the Chrome / Firefox location bar too.

`language:ruby example` ?

No, because they have successfully demonstrated that they don't have "little chance of scaling"

That sounds very similar to my plan on Tesco mobile although my data is limited to 1.5GBs. What is your experience of 3? I've heard bad things about them and worry about the qualit…

I was there too and don't believe that the problem was with the ticketing system. They overestimated the maximum capacity. The Swamp 81/Numbers stage was massively popular and had …

That's a ridiculous reason to make fun of someone for!

Ok, why would professional designers make fun of someone for using Gotham in a logo type?

Why is Gotham a bad choice for logotypes?

I came here looking for an explanation for this, so thanks. To the curious - SO has an explanation of why Python was designed like this, which I found interesting: http://stackover…

Do you have a blog? I found this really interesting and would like to read more. Also, I'm curious - what are the legal reasons for not working with full black or white in broadcas…

I read an article[1] that, I think, was on HN a little while ago about naming apps. I find it a really good way to come up with good names. [1] http://blog.zachwaugh.com/post/96669…

It seems so obvious to me now, but I just realised that is something that I do; I focusing on understanding what is causing a bug and how to fix it, but not why the bug occurred in…

Consider a poorly written program: Cryptic variable names, lack of documentation, tightly coupled. The code would be far from perfect, but if it works then it may be considered 'go…

The point is not that it can't be done securely, it's that they don't want the hassle of being responsible for a large amount of sensitive information. By not storing the informati…

iOS push notifications are created on a server and then sent to the users iPhone. This means that the server must know about the event in order to generate the push notification th…

The iOS push notification service works by having a remote server determine when a push notification needs to be displayed to the user. The only way for Sparrow to do this would be…

"Writing tests makes you think". A developer should already be thinking about these things when they are writing their code.

I might have misunderstood you. Do you mean that if they don't want you to share the content then they shouldn't sell it to you, because you will share it regardless of what the te…

Why do you think it's okay to lie in this situation?

If you don't like the conditions then you can decline and not have access to the creation.

How does this put the argument to rest?

Putting analogies aside, as everyone seems to focus on the analogy rather than the actual topic: Person A made something and is granting access to their creation subject to certain…

Fixable for technical people, sure. Not for the average user. The user who uses the default web browser. The user who uses IE.

I find 'smart wrapping' very easy to read. (Code is wrapped and auto-indented to the current indentation level.) I wish this feature was far more prevalent and it means that I don'…
