His issues seem to be mostly:

* If you `git pull`, you don't get the chance to diff between your local branch and what you just fetched and check if you really want to do that merge, using `git fetch` and `git merge` makes it more likely you'll do that check

* Getting used to `git fetch` means if you need to diverge from the straight `git fetch; git merge` workflow (because you want to rebase, or you have a high number of active topic branches floating around) you're already halfway there.
Does it have buffers (as opposite to files) abstraction, ie. can you open the same file in different windows and work on different parts of it?

It is fairly small, but I think part of the idea is to decouple rbenv from how or with what tools you build Rubies. (It might make sense, though, for someone to create and maintain a fork that bundles ruby-build and rbenv.)
I'm surprised he hasn't disclosed it himself, but it's worth noting that the author has tried his own hand at this problem with the site Zooomr.com. Things didn't work out though and the site never took over Flickr.
One thing Flickr has going for it is photos aren't so closely tied to a user's identity. I'm a bit of a photography buff, a Flickr Pro user for years, and I'm not sure I want my photographs to be in the same place where I update friends and acquaintances about my status. It's an entirely different thing to me.

The article has it right, though, about Flickr's lack of updates. The most recent major change I've noticed was a year or two ago and, IMHO, it made the site worse.
Nothing there is stopping you reading the source.
> In Mercurial (which is what I use primarily) pull does not merge unless you ask it to.

Actually, in Mercurial `pull` does not ever merge. It can update if you ask it to (with `-u`), but it won't merge.

`hg fetch` (standard extension) can merge (it's basically "pull and update, if update fails merge"), but it might go the way of the dodo pretty soon[0]

I worked in the biomed industry as a research chemist and I can tell that there are plenty of pharma companies that would love to bring any profitable drug to market. Nobody is going to sit on a working cure. Drug research just happens to be really, really hard, with plenty of opportunities to fail right up to the last step with billions up in smoke.

I notice that on the Code Better page, http://codebetter.com/karlseguin/2008/06/25/foundations-of-p... , he says "I’m excited to finally release the official, and completely free, Foundations of Programming EBook.".

This could be interpreted, as there is no contradictory license statement on that page, as "this book is free-libre".

If "Amazon Digital Services" (which, if not originating with Amazon, has to be a Trademark violation that could lose Amazon their Trademark right if not challenged) counter the DMCA notice with such a statement I think that would leave the matter unresolved and Amazon wouldn't, IIRC, be obliged to take down the material. You'd have to lawyer up instead.

In undergrad I did some retail electronics sales. When I first started if I didn't know the answer to something I would find out and be back to the customer within 30-60 seconds. That's all it took for them to not buy over and over.

Meanwhile, the best selling reps would say, "Absolutely!" to questions they had no idea what the answer was. Even if they were wrong the customer likely wouldn't come back and if they did they could usually be pacified enough.

Interesting lessons back then. I solved the problem by learning everything so I too could say, "Absolutely!" Took awhile though opposed to faking it.

couple days are to be public about it."

If someone had a dispute with me, I'd appreciate a couple of days to clear things up before they chose to escalate it by going public. This is something you need to decide on - do you want the whole thing to be public, which might make someone on the other side be more cautious about what they say, and possibly just "lawyer up" instead of negotiating in good faith.

A few months after Facebook announced "Operation Developer Love (http://developers.facebook.com/blog/post/417/), I reported a bug I had found in the API. Their first response was to tell me I didn't know what I was talking about, and that is was functioning fine. After explaining myself better, they finally admitted it was a bug... and promptly informed me they would be marking it as WONTFIX because they didn't feel like addressing it at the time. Lost two days of work because of that bug, and they don't want to fix it... that's love for you. Here's the bug report for reference (I may have gotten just a bit testy, but still, it was pretty frustrating) http://bugs.developers.facebook.net/show_bug.cgi?id=16856

+1. Many programmers who are not admins tend to install stuff according to their one-time desire and then announce it "production ready". In fact, there's something called "release management" and it's a rather different mindset. Please coders, respect your admins (and vice-versa), or learn to play both roles. Tools like rvm, while cool, are not substitute for this, because they can create an illusion that there's nothing to learn. There is.
Little offtopic: I think the layout and the colors of this site are great!
What argument are you making here?

Is it a purely definitional argument about what constitutes a "web app"? That raises the question of what exactly "the web" is and who gets to decide, on what basis - but more importantly, who cares? Let's all adopt Native Client apps in the place of web apps and call them something else.

Is it a "standards" argument against NaCl adoption, ie. "Mr. SOCKWG says No!"?

Or is it an argument on technical merit against NaCl adoption? If so, you'll need to spell it out in more detail. Appealing to "Web = Good" is a fair enough starting point, because the Web is Good, but it's not enough here. NaCl advocates (or some of 'em) are presenting an argument about why the Web is good, and how it (or some Web' that isn't the Web - again, definitions in themselves are nothing) could be better. To simply repeat "Web = Good" in reply would be make of the Web a cargo cult - and, one can't help noticing, a cargo cult which just happens to operate very much in the interests of the shrine guardians.
I had the same thing happen to me just now. Win 7 with Firefox 5.0.

Even after submitting again with the same info filled in, it comes back the same way. I don't get a confirmation. I'm behind a corporate proxy, if that might cause any issues (ie: multiple people at my company all asking for the book may look like lots of requests from the same IP).

The bi(n)g assumption the article makes is:
Firefox switches to Bing from Google and still continues to be equally popular in the medium/long run.

There are multiple possible scenarios -

Post such a shift FFs market share erodes quickly and Microsoft basically bought a Lemon. Chrome becomes even more powerful.

Post such a Shift FFs market share is simlar to that it enjoys today - Microsoft bought some traffic but a a large majority of FF users switch the search engine back to Google. Microsoft bought a sort of Lemon

Post a shift - FF market share stable/increases and lots of people do not change default search - Microsoft bought a winner and Article makes sense.

I do not see #3 as the most likely outcome.

I created an Android app that let's you create customized QR codes like this on your phone. Check out https://market.android.com/details?id=com.rabidgremlin.andro...
This is just a bit of experimentation. Not something with any significant practical benefit.

You just have to look at the code behind this - http://nicolasgallagher.com/pure-css-gui-icons/demo/ - for confirmation that this is not a viable solution for complex shape creation.
Seems strange to me that Chrome allows such a thing to happen at all (the fact that "view source" redirects to the page itself).

Why does it re-download the page, in fact, rather than just displaying the source of the page as already downloaded (given that you're currently viewing that page)? I suppose there is the sort of notion that "view-source:http://... is a URL and is accessed like any other, but couldn't it load the cached copy when you first call the "view source" command?

Oh well, curl gets the job done. http://pastebin.com/GkeBmj9u Wonder what I'd do if I wanted to view the source of a page that required some kind of cookie to access. Eh, maybe the "developer tools" thing; but "view source" kind of is a developer tool, and at any rate should do what its name suggests.

[It seems, by the way, that Firefox does everything I've been asking for here, except for making it clear that "view-source:http://... is a URL. It does handle such a URL, but when you run the "view source" command, it brings up a new window with no visible URL bar, and only by an adventurous guess and analogy with Chrome did I find that that URL worked.]
No photographer will take Google+ seriously as long as uploading an artistic nude could result in your entire Google account being disabled.
I'm sure "Microsoft was willing to fund Firefox development and Google wasn't" would play just fine.

Some people would switch their default to Google and some wouldn't, but I don't see Firefox losing a significant number of users regardless.

Unfortunately the same thing is happening for me.
I'm sure Google realizes the strategic and technical value of a second open-source browser implementation.

Just because they're using WebKit today doesn't mean they will forever (or for everything). Gecko is valuable as an alternative and as a way to "keep web standards honest". A WebKit monoculture would eventually bake in too many hidden assumptions.

Surely you mean x86. Firefox Mobile for Android (ARM) has been out for months. And x86_64 builds are already in existence and are slated for Firefox 8.
Yes, you just split the current view (vertically or horizontally) or open a new window. Any change to a file will be immediately updated in the other views/windows.
I never really realized this had stopped. I thought it was due to the fact that I clicked so often on the "Hide publications from game X" that now I had hidden most of them. I think it all comes down to the fact that I remember clearly how bad it was because I had an emotional reaction to that spam ("fucking farmville get the fuck out of my feed arrrrrrr!!!") instead of now that I didn't even notice it one bit. How could the situation I didn't see come to mind before the one that got me pissed a few months ago? And that's why everybody still says that games on Facebook = spam.

How much money would HN save in bandwidth from changing the voting arrow images grayarrow.gif and graydown.gif (both 111b) to two small triangles in CSS as shown in this story? Or would it cost them more to even change to the css-style arrows? Also -- correct me if I'm wrong here -- why doesn't HN use one sprite image instead of serving up the images everytime separately for each story and comment? Probably because it's cached the two small arrows from the beginning so there's very little resources used anyways?

Case Study: First Week of My New Business
> I would trust passwords that come out of a script like this to be far more secure than passwords anyone (myself included) made up, no matter how random they're trying to be.

Definitely agree with you here.

I've been using the "few random words" method for passwords I need to remember for some time (and random 20 character mixes of alpha/numeric/symbol for the other, which I have stored in a keepass db), and I know I'm not all that random in my choice of words so if someone managed to see one or two of my passphrases it would be quite easy to create a script that could brute force the other couple quickly.

I shall have to use a script like this (or throw together my own for paranoia's sake) next time I change one of my passphrases.

No, Chrome is your "OS" in this case. You do have to account for processors though. Right now there is x86-32, x86-64, and ARM.

Go to any of the games and after you've started, right click and save-as to get the nmf file. It's a manifest which has separate nexes for each processor (these are just x86-32 and x86-64).
My guess would be over-funding.

When the government incentivizes an industry through grants or tax-breaks, you get an oversupply . "Clean Tech" is a hot area right now; as cities try to attract business to dig themselves out of red-ink, it's just the type of industry they'd like to see (as opposed to, say, pork rendering) coming to their area. So it gets subsidized. Hence there are more borderline sustainable businesses in the space.

Here in Canada we witnessed this with tax incentives for installing solar panels.

I don't think looking at one site is enough to judge whether Google +1 is failing or not.

With a site like msnbc, I can't help but picture an older less tech savvy crowd. A crowd that wouldn't know what google +1 is, let alone have an email other than an @aol.com.

If you look at other sites, Techcrunch for example. The primary mode of sharing there is Twitter, and suprisingly linkedin with facebook really lagging behind. That doesn't mean facebook likes are failing.
It didn't seem to complain with my (UK) address, and I got the "confirm your email address" mail through and that link worked fine. This was one or two hours ago though, so there may be a new bug or the page (or the DB behind it) may be under sudden load if the link has hit high volume sites like slashdot.

I'd report it to them if I were you, though please make the bug report much more detailed than "it didn't work"...

I honestly thought +1 not appearing in the stream was a feature. A feature I liked. After all if they want to share it they can share it.
It's the same thing about games not appearing in the stream -- I honestly don't give two shakes if you need two more friends to visit your farm in order to get the golden shovel, I'm not interested.
I like how it's segregated to it's own tab, IMO the only improvement they could make is adding an option to toggle whether you see your friend's +1s and game 'trophies' in the stream or not.
That's an excellent idea. I went with Facebook login because it was the simplest thing I could think of to do before launching - I will be adding "regular" account creation with email addresses very soon.

> Put another way: What's so special about "not-software" or "not-duck" that excludes it from the issue you have with software or duck patents?

That's pretty much my point. The original construction assumes that not only is there nothing special, but that the person arguing against software (duck) patents thinks that there is nothing special.

My real complaint is phrasing it by saying that a person who argues against software patents must be opposed to all patents, when it would be much more correct and much less insulting to say that this person should be opposed to all patents. One reduces the other person's argument to an absurd degree without allowing for any possibility that they might have a point, and the other just states why you (or whoever) think they're wrong.

I guess you could say +1 is still a relatively new feature. It appears that it's something Google just released without a clear end goal in mind of how to integrate it across all of their social networks.

I'm hoping that they have something new and different in mind with how they integrate +1's into Google+. It's slightly annoying as a user to be presented with so many share/like buttons on a post. As it was mentioned in the blog post, what's the incentive for a user to choose the +1 button. There needs to be a benefit beyond just making the +1 viewable in your Google+ stream.
Android acts as an independent company within Google. I've always got the impression that Andy Rubin doesn't have the same level of web-first mentality that Page and Brin have.

I disagree about the mobile web apps though. I think the Google+ (and formerly Google Buzz) web app is just as good as the counterparts. I actually don't like the Twitter mobile app too much. If I click an outside link to a Tweet why in the world aren't you rendering it on the server side?
