Thanks Peter for chiming in. I'm fine with missing a great chunk of noteworthy stuff and rather read one focused source only. ;)

This is where I'm trying to get some advice from you ;-) Each newsletter is focused on a topic or natural collection of topics. What source is more focused on, say, Ruby than Ruby Weekly? I would find this useful advice! :) Or are you saying you'd rather see, say, 3 or 4 links a week related to a topic.. and it's a problem with the volume rather than subject "focus"?

pestaa got in touch with me directly and we had a productive discussion about it. Just for anyone who was following :-)

SoftWare EnGineeRing.

Ah. Around here we've always always called that poing. For "PrOgrammING"

Using random characters you're lucky you didn't use the first, third, fifth and tenth character as a "descriptive" term. ;)

And a bit on topic even though it's not a blog. How about "The Bug of the Month" of the makers of lint? http://www.gimpel.com/html/bugs.htm A bit obscure but definately broadens the pool of error behavior concepts.

http://stevehanov.ca/blog/ -- Updates infrequently. Very good programming articles. http://duartes.org/gustavo/blog/ -- Updates infrequently. Good articles on Linux and Programming. Start here: http://duartes.org/gustavo/blog/best-of http://catonmat.net -- He doesn't update much anymore since he's working on his startup but the archives are still good. Mostly unix tools and CompSci stuff IIRC. http://chneukirchen.org…

Duartes' articles are really well written. I had forgotten about his blog. Thanks for re-posting it.

Why should he take it down? I don't know anything about this whole controversy, but as far as I can see it, he's right about Patrick. Also, I couldn't find anything offensive or malicious, so I don't really get your problem here..

Because putting the onus for removal on Patrick is a dick thing to do. After all, Patrick owes Sebastian exactly nothing, Sebastian writing this piece does not oblige Patrick to ask for a removal or even to communicate with him on the subject. It basically says "I will create a clever little boundary that I know will never be met so I get my way".

From Sebastian's account, he made it very easy for Patrick to have it taken down. Since it was Patrick who he hurt, he wanted Patrick to have the choice whether it stayed up or down. That seems fair and right to me.

Two fantastic ways of saving a few characters at the expense of clarity...

I'd hate to see this guy's variable naming convention :O
