Ansible looks to me like the product of a person who looked at Puppet, said something like "ugh Ruby, ew syntax" and made his own thing, without looking deeper. Before he created A…

Surprisingly entertaining -- thanks! It'd be nice if the the popup messages had a force field around them, so they stayed readable for as long as possible.

I just finished _Dreaming in Code_ Friday night. A deep dive into http://chandlerproject.org/ afterward was one of the more depressing experiences I've had in recent memory: all th…

You can split hunks until they're consecutive lines. You can't split more granularly than that with -p. You'd need to edit the patch, either directly or with git gui or similar.

To me, finger seemed to lapse the same way the old-school tilde-based 'personal website' gave way to Geocities et al -- people gradually shifted away from it. Remember John Carmack…

'Leads to' is an unfortunate choice of words at best. Unless there are details not yet divulged, this appears pretty similar to, e.g., 'Casual Encounters section of Craigslist Lead…

Very nice. The developer's responsiveness to bug reports is what makes this the best form-styling solution for a side project I'm working on at the moment; this should be pretty we…

Cool. I've been enjoying sup on a daily basis for quite some time now, and it's great. C-speed search and robust emacs integration sound wonderful; it's too bad these features spru…

I've recently come to the same conclusion as the author. I've long been an advocate of Linux, but a few years go I sort of gradually switched off Linux on the desktop back to Windo…
