Jon (jskinner) has been doing a great job of continuous releases with a mix of new features and bug fixes. It is easily the best $60 I've ever spent on an editor or IDE.

If you haven’t tried Sublime Text 2 before, I recommend taking it for a whirl. Most developers I've shown it to really like it. Here are some reasons it won me over:

Multiple selections. Select a variable and then press Ctrl+d/Cmd+d a few times. Now type a new variable name. Or, select a few lines and press Ctrl+Shift+l/Cmd+Shift+l. You can now make batch edits to all lines

Goto Anything (Ctrl+p or Cmd+p). Start typing a filename. Type an @ and then start typing a function or method name. Hit escape instead of enter to return to where you were.

It also has a very nice Python API that makes writing plugins fun. http://www.sublimetext.com/docs/2/api_reference.html

There are so many other little things done right that you find once you start digging in.
Save your contentless contradictions for my next blog post.
My guess is that Chrome/Chromium is installed system-wide from a distribution package, and when you run it as a normal user you don't have write permission for updating it.
DOB + name is unique in most cases.

Which is why I deliberately give an incorrect DOB on most websites that want one.
I agree with this. Chrome has effectively changed the entire nature of client-side computing with this feature. If you want to run stuff client-side any more (hello Windows? Anybody listening?), you're going to need to implement this.

In general, the user should extremely rarely be interrupted for anything, especially not anything program-related. Each program having a tray icon, an update alert, update restarts, and flow interruption because it thinks something is important is what has turned windows from a productive computing platform to some kind of cross between a Kafkaesque X-box and a slot machine.

One cool thing about ST2 is that is it fully theme-able. There is an alternate theme called Soda that has both a light and dark variant. You can grab it with git from https://github.com/buymeasoda/soda-theme or use the package manager I wrote http://wbond.net/sublime_packages/package_control.
Sorry, you're quite right.
Kinda expensive :(
You should read this: http://www.chromium.org/developers/design-documents/software...

I reference that in your mention of 3G bandwidth usage. Chrome updates should be fairly tiny and bandwidth-friendly. Not always, but more often than not.. Especially on a beta/dev channel.

The vacuum isn't what I'd worry about; I'd worry about the radiation.

I thought that space stuff usually used ancient CPUs because they had to be rad-hard in ways that stuff beneath the ionosphere doesn't need to be, and creating a sufficently rad-hard CPU was difficult and time consuming (thus you end up with what was state of the art when you started working on it, some time ago)
You are right, it would need less hardware for the same work.
Two days ago I wrote this:

Spare the rod, spare the philosopher.
It's an interesting article, but I think it's an oversimplification. In CS (the game), there's some strategy, but most can be picked up on the fly. There isn't a need to abstract away details, there isn't loads of theory that can help you make better choices. You're either more or less proficient.

I think the analogy breaks down for CS (programming). There are a number of concepts you won't likely grok without first reading them. A much better strategy is to read then do. Both are necessary, and you need a balance. All doing or all reading won't get you as far as a balanced approach. Programming is significantly more complex than playing a video game.
I saw this a while ago and was interested. But I kept getting errors when trying to build it from source and after several tries, using several methods I found in various places on the internet, I gave up.
Design looks great, but makes everything tedious to read. Just show me information in a way which is pleasant to look at. Don't hit me over the head with your design. I get it, it is slick, but design should be enabling, not distracting.

It is completely irrelevant that some other compartments might have had much bigger budgets.

While you may consider this point unrealistic or unhelpful to the argument, it cannot be characterised as irrelevant. Adding the word 'completely' only weakens your case.
PHP is neither ersatz Java nor ersatz Ruby, and traits are clearly not in "over design" territory. I can understand people not liking the language but then why do you keep coming back complaining that they add user-requested features to it ...
You complain that it damage PHP's simplicity but the truth is that if you don't want to use it, don't use it. NOTHING is forcing you to use it, it uses its own keywords so it won't confuse you or change existing code ... And if someone somewhere wants to use it to do meta programming, I don't see how that affects anyone else's approach to php.
When you install Chrome/Chromium in Ubuntu it adds a repository for the channel (stable, beta, dev, canary) that you chose. When you update Ubuntu, via the Update Manager or the terminal, it will fetch the latest version of Chrome and install it.
This article is almost a month old now. I'd guess we will see a release around December like they have done in the past. I wouldn't expect anything before October. This will be the first id software release in c++ and it will be interesting to see what subset of the c++ language they used.
No mention of license, though.
Not to mention that the folks in #nginx on freenode are really very helpful.
Ah yeah. We mostly use both devices for Netflix, which doesn't do 1080 anyways. Also, the ATV2 can supposedly push lower-bitrate 1080 if you jailbreak and put XBMC on it, not sure what the Revue does.

New self hosted blogs can't get the load of peak times, because new bloggers start a WordPress blog, install on it a lot of plugins and never think about performance. I think most of us have made that mistake some time.

I use Python on Windows for Django developement. Since I'm need to use other Win based software for work I use it also as my dev station. Can't complain, Windows does the job and Python doesn't care. One of the advantages of Python being x-platform. I find that most people that use Linux for dev, then emulate Windows for something, so I just stick to Win. This might change in Oct when Ubuntu 11.10 comes out, but probably now. Win has served me always very well.
Thank you very much for that tip, sir. It looks nice side by side with Chrome now. Also, your Project Control is pretty sweet (and its website too).
1) Git ignore is not a global (to the repository) file, either. Both SVN and Git have per-user (not per-repository) settings, and they have very similar functions. .gitignore is only global by common practice, according to http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/gitignore.ht... you can use:

...a .gitignore file in the same directory as the path, or in any parent directory, with patterns in the higher level files (up to the toplevel of the work tree) being overridden by those in lower level files down to the directory containing the file.

A global .gitignore feature in the toplevel of the work tree is just one way of using the .gitignore feature.

2) If character count is important,

svn ps -R -F i .

is only 16 characters long, and does the same thing (if you name your file 'i', since we're golfing here). I readily admit that this is INFINITELY longer than the Git version.
previous games were released under GPL, this one should probably follow.

"And, one of the things I’ve always found is that you’ve got to start with the customer experience and work backwards..."

This is such a common idea in business strategy that I have a hard time believing that most large companies don't, at least at the top, understand it. However, it also seems like a principal that is very hard to stay focused on as a product or service flows down throughout the company. There has to be a very good reason why this strategy flows through Apple's veins, yet gets lost in the mix of many of its competitors.

Must be tough as a Muslim during Ramadan though. Would be a bugger if you were in Norway, north of the Arctic circle. Does that mean you'd have to fast continuously for the time that the sun doesn't set?

Lived in the Middle East a while ago and worked through one Ramadan. But because of the latitude, it was a lot easier to fast during the day prior to Iftar. (I'm not Muslim, but would fast if I was invited to Iftar at someone's house...)

Nothing like a ton of hypoglycemic Muslims speeding home to Iftar to make you concentrate on your driving.
The public domain is tricky however. Not everywhere can you legally put a work into the "public domain". Creative Commons even has a separate license (CC0, http://creativecommons.org/about/cc0) to basically just waive all rights to a work "to the fullest extent allowed by law".
The more I program and do things, the more I realise how little people actually know. They just do, and hope it turns out okay. And that is awesome. I want more people to realise that. Just program and push stuff out. You will learn so much.

On Linux, the chrome team chose to integrate with system package managers instead of using their native updater - arguably the native updater would have worked better (many Linux distros still don't support delta updates!), but they wanted to buy goodwill with the Linux community.

My understanding is that (1) is typically argued by the opposing trial lawyers, who can appeal for "Strike for cause"[1], which doesn't count against their arbitrary $X strikes. I assume this is actually decided upon by the judge, based on those arguments.

A real POSIX shell that isn't slow.
A fast gcc and the like.

It is a pain to compile psycopg2 and lxml on windows compared to linux. Cygwin and virtual machines are unfortunately too slow when you are used to working in a non-virtualized Linux environment.

I'm heavily biased though because once you are addicted to the command line, it becomes very hard to live on Windows :-(
I doubt the real Steve Jobs gets up at 7AM (unless he was sleeping in since it was his first day off)!
We develop trading software exclusively on Windows, and I use it for internal tools and our testing infrastructure. There are a few C extensions written to wrap our libraries, a lot of integration, regression, performance, and load libraries, and a bunch of dev tools to setup environments with our dependencies and such.

I introduced Python to the company in 2006 after writing a few very quick and dead simple test tools, and it seemed to pick up steam once our QA organization was looking for a way to beef up automation efforts.
I'd like to know how much the Joyent Smartmachine contributed to this. They make some bold claims on their website, and really do seem like a great alternative to EC2 (disk IO that doesn't suck!) if they deliver. Anyone have any experience?

What matters most is distribution and solving a problem that customers have. It can be an advantage in a crowded segment to have an extremely well polished app for differentiation purposes. But without distribution any app is going to die.

In your case, your app seems to be distributing mainly because you have a customer base from previous apps, which boosts your inherent distribution (pools are created by groups of friends which will talk about your app) and your search results in the app store. Also, from what I can see you are the only one that supports both Yahoo and ESPN, which is pretty cool :)

I released an app recently. First, a quick prototype with a stock UI, then a "beautiful", custom UI. Changes in downloads = 0. Still, I'm not saying it does not matter, because it clearly can, but it's very hard to pull it off. In your case, we can't really tell, unless you released a version with stock UI? Hard to prove that your UI affected sales without a test.

Congrats for your apps.
The app store doesn't do demos so it is certainly not what your app does that sells it. How could it be, no one who buys your app has ever run it before. The only thing that sells your app is the advertising.

My group is currently having discussions about the new paradigm of browsers updating frequently and silently. We currently have to support a wide array of browsers and versions for our apps (due to the nature of the product), and our QC group is grappling with how to manage this.

Personally, I don't think we need to worry about a Chrome or FF update suddenly breaking our apps--they don't use cutting edge HTML5/CSS3 features, and I don't suspect that either browser will suddenly change an HTML4 implementation.

Anybody else dealing with this same issue?

Top 3 Reasons Designers Object to Agile and How to Overcome Them
Why is HP producing now more TouchPads?
I really struggle with PowerShell - so many things don't work like I expect them to (e.g. passing arguments to the command line, which is surprisingly hard given that's one of the problems it was meant to solve; anything involving operators - these are different from any other language; different error condition semantics for the different built-in commands; default error handling behaviour; etc.)

Having the power of .Net in a scripting language is great, but it would have been even nicer if that language was consistent with the others on the platform (C#, JS, Ruby, Python for instance.) In fact I regularly think of converting our existing PS deployment scripts to Python, and better tooling support would definitely help.

There's no margin in touchpads if you want to undercut Apple, but I bet Amazon doesn't care. They want eyeballs. Amazon is really good at datamining, and they already have your credit card details. If you interact with any channel they control, they will find a way to shake you down.

HP and the rest don't have that advantage - they need to make money off the touchpads, and Apple can undercut them by controlling the App store and locking down supplies.

Yea, I see several diffrent numbers being tossed about but:

This caching (I’m using APC right now) got my page load times down to about 170 microseconds for most pages, and 400 microseconds

400 microseconds ~= 2,500hits/sec; 170 microseconds ~= 5,880hits/sec; Both of which seem reasonable for a simple PHP site using a single core CPU @ 1+Ghz.
Sure, but when a bug like that occurs it gets "mainstream" press and PHP haters everywhere add it as part of the book of "Ugh, PHP Y U So Horrible?"
