    Nope. There is municipal fiber in Wilson, NC which is about an hour away (greenlightnc.com). I'm not sure about RTP. A crappy anti-muni broadband law was passed at the state level …

    Copyright is traditionally an area of law that has been served by moderation. The government offers some protection to creators, but not absolute rights. For instance, songwriters …

    Plagiarism is passing someone else's work off as your own. Unauthorized copying is just providing a work for others to consume without claiming credit for it, but without having a …

    I think the answer is the dynamic environment. In terms of syntax and semantic constructs Ruby is not very much like Lisp at all. But the dynamic runtime is very lisp-like. You can…

    I'm not sure what Silence is about. My git-config-fu fails me. One Thing Well demonstrates how one command (git checkout), while it does do 'one thing well' (changing your working …

    I think this is fundamentally flawed. Take HAML, for instance. It tends to be polarizing, but not along the axis he has laid out. People who don't like it usually point to the unfa…

    In my experience, if you are counting characters or lines in regular vim editing, you are doing it wrong. The smarter jump commands, text objects, and a high key repeat rate are al…

    I liked it as well. Some other thoughts on the film: 1. The bulk of the story is framed as Cobb & Saito's recollection in limbo. My theory is that the recollection (rather than the…

    Showing what formats the book is available in would be really helpful. Some of these are not free for download, but only to read online. Licensing info might be useful as well. Som…
