I just finished The Phoenix Project recently, and I thought it was great. It is effectively a novel about a large software project which is being mismanaged and on the brink of fai…

Nearly every submission you've ever made to reddit is either directly to your book, or to a post on your blog, most of which include a massive ad at the bottom for your book. That'…

You used to (still do?) spam this heavily on the programming subreddit. It annoys me to see that it's selling rather well, yet you apparently can't be bothered to buy an ad. Please…

That defeats half the purpose though, because if the string is null, you won't be able to call the method without throwing an exception. Or is that not the case for extension metho…

You may want to leave it in. As another user mentioned, the official stable release is still 1.9. It does warn you that the default will change in 2.0, and prompts you to decide wh…

Ah yeah, my phrasing was poor on that. 2.0 has yet to see a stable release, but they started warning about the default setting changing a while back.

#3 is no longer the default behavior since 2.0 was released. http://blog.nicoschuele.com/posts/git-2-0-changes-push-defau...

Are you a robot?

Not to mention HDCP. The first time I tried out Prime streaming, I turned off my second monitor after starting up the video, and Amazon took that to mean that I was a criminal, and…

Just to clarify, what you're saying is that Nathan Myhrvold is a complete piece of shit ? EDIT: Oh wait I forgot, HN isn't crawled.

That was the FIRST commit to that repo. Not that it's great reasoning, but really how much info does 'Initial commit.' convey as opposed to 'asdf'?

HN really loathes humour, doesn't it?

This seems like a rather hostile change to an already hostile community. HN has never felt like a welcoming place to me, and I don't think this will help. Maybe PG prefers the comm…

nyar should have specified "unpaid interns": http://www.dol.gov/whd/regs/compliance/whdfs71.htm

How is it pronounced? Is it Zah-pee-err, as in, more zappy? Or is it Zah-pee-eh, like it's a fancy french service? Or is it Zah-peer, like a fancy Frenchman pronouncing "the peer"?…

This is pretty damn cool, but I can't help but notice that the UI seems to be severely limited by Sublime's API.

>How do they ensure that teachers know what they're talking about? AFAIK, they don't. There was a big fiasco recently when some guy who was teaching a C++ course was featured as "c…

WPF is definitely the way to go. I started a modest sized project a few years ago at an internship, and this past summer I was allowed the task to move it from Forms to WPF. Let me…

This hasn't solved the problem though, it's just passing the buck. If the app facilitates what people perceive as spamming, shouldn't that be something you want to look into? If yo…

You can also search and do multiple selection with a regular expression, which is awesome. I've used this heavily in the past few weeks. The only problem I've had is that all searc…
