    It'd be hard to provide any data to the NSA based on DuckDuckGo's privacy policy: http://donttrack.us/ (Unless, of course, you think they're blatantly lying about what they do and …

    Or, perhaps he simply finds it amusing to post his ever-odd thoughts and watch the reaction. Does that have to be cocky? Or, perhaps I give him a pass for whatever he does, because…

    No. You you do your thing. I'll do this. I don't want to have to run another command to see what lines have changed in my file. I want small, non-intrusive icons in the gutter with…

    I use both. If I need a full diff, fugitive is great. Sometimes I just want to scan to see what lines I changed in a a file. In other words, it is impractical to use this plugin to…

    It's actually a lot easier, unless you have next-to-zero traffic, to ask _them_ to take an action that puts the info in your inbox, rather than dig in logs, which could have that s…

    I think, essentially, he is saying that you end up spending time maintaining your template, losing much of the benefit of the template, depending on how often you start new apps. I…

    If he is near Indianapolis, it could help to get involved in the local hacker scene. We have a pretty decent number of meetings and the like he could attend. See the calendar at ht…

    What I took away from this, which, reading the other comments, is not at all what everyone got out of it, is that a bunch of graphs can be a great, but a system that automatically …

    I don't see it as a "huge Ruby bug". Could you elaborate, please? I would understand "huge Ruby on Rails bug", though, by convention, it is still a fairly unlikely case. Edit: I th…

    They're both good. My open source repos are on Github. My private (thus client-related) repos are on BitBucket. I've been pretty happy with this configuration. Perhaps it helps tha…

    I don't think "mentioning Github" is the only piece people are using when deciding to question your communication skills. The word "microcontroller", except in certain extremely sp…

    It could've been nice. I don't have links to back this up, but I seem to remember getting patches accepted for it was difficult. I am assuming that is because there wasn't anyone o…

    I have been thinking the same thing while reading the article and comments. I haven't been to any of the larger conferences, so I thought I'd keep my mouth shut in case I'm simply …

    Internet Explorer 6 was released in 2001. I realize this is not central to the article, but "A lot of products were made in the end 90s that only worked in Internet Explorer 6" bot…

    Nice! Would it be possible to add Ruby as a language example? I could likely figure out more-or-less how the code would appear using one of the other languages with which I am fami…

    For what it's worth, I help to organize a fairly active Ruby group, and I am certain that, if not zero, nearly zero of us would make this proclamation. In fact -- and I mean not to…
