Just had DNS trouble from Chicago. Switched to openDNS.

This made me more excited about Elixir than anything else I've read about the language thus far. The talk of "empathy" as a core value also reminded me of the focus of Ernie Miller…

Just ran through this and quite enjoyed it. It's very different from "A Tour of Go". I really like how he creates a narrative out of test failures. It's by no means effective as a …

> What is the difference between the cask installation suggested in the link and the cask installation procedure suggested on the cask home page? Two differences. One is that we mo…

Hey there! This is a valid concern, but I don't think it's all that different from using Homebrew. The community maintains the cask definitions, and all pull requests are reviewed …

Hiya - author here. Thanks for the feedback on this stuff! It's always good to hear where it's best to focus improvements. I'm going to address a few of your points specifically. >…

Alas there is not AFAIK. For all the research I've done on this, the only conclusion I've been able to draw is that the MAS is anti-automation (if not in intent, at least in its cu…

> Quite a few of the apps I use (iTerm2, ST3, Chrome, Adium, etc.) update themselves periodically. I wonder how Cask deals with that? Sparkle-based self-updating apps will self-upd…

In my experience, a day spent pairing, while generally a sort of intense experience, is also filled with little breaks. Your pair gets up to grab a drink; you check your email; som…

This is an interesting practice, thanks for sharing. I'm really curious about different sorts of hybrid approaches being used in the wild. I'd be curious to hear how the day-to-day…

I contributed. It's obviously a worthwhile cause, and their overall strategy seems sound. I also appreciate their efforts to bake the open source mentality into the project. I hope…

> However, each tab I open I need to cd into the same directory. As of tmux 1.7, this should be unnecessary. Every tab and split will open in the working directory of the current p…

just added a cask for this so osx homebrew-cask users can check out the project with `brew cask install maratis` https://github.com/phinze/homebrew-cask/pull/819

Instructure is hiring Software Engineers in Chicago, IL http://www.instructure.com/jobs Come help us prove that a focus on great, usable software can win the LMS market. We're not …

IMHO this is one of the few thoughtful, productive pieces I've read on the PyCon debacle. I appreciated his last line: > Of course I'm just Tim Taylor, talking over the fence to Wi…

Wow this is nicely done. I added a homebrew cask for it so it can be installed via `brew cask install anvil`. https://github.com/phinze/homebrew-cask/commit/aff3777759dfc...
