In terms of shell, I moved to the fish shell 5 years ago.

Things are so much easier. No need to a massive amount of plugins and configs, mostly works out of the box.

Strange. Why is every single one of these photos out of focus?

The AI chat-bot on the jobs page is really off-putting.

Reading this helped me a lot:

Good to know!

Two learings on my side:

1. Promises are handled in micro-tasks. 2. `element.click()` causes the event to dispatch synchronously. Even on parent elements.

`ctrl + -` is a good short-cut.

But, often times I have jumped around many times, or only scrolled. It doesn't work in these situations. Whereas `undo` `redo` reliably brings me back to the place of last input.

You could too, couldn’t you?

I use 10x8TB in RaidZ 2 in my home server. TimeMachine Backup for 6 people, docker volumes and an excessively huge media collection.

The TimeMachine datasets are backed up offsite.

Losing this pool would be a PITA, but not critical.

My primary goal with ZFS is some data redundancy. At a good cost. And quick remote backup for a fraction of the pool. Not performance.

At one point, 2 disks died within 2 days. While there was some panic involved, the data on the server could be reproduced with some time.

There isn’t a best solution, that fits all needs. If there was, ZFS wouldn‘t offer all the options it does.

Not sure about the `mobile`.

I have been using the gmail web app exclusively for one reason: I use the following Chrome Plugin to convert Markdown to HTML emails: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/markdown-here/?hl=...

Did you ever consider adding a Markdown to HTML email option?

This is especially helpful when sending formatted code around!

I remapped many keys, use space as a function key, all programmed in hammerspoon.

As a consequence, I had to learn to touch-type.

As of now, I am slower than before, but there is hope ;)

How is Czechoslovakia still considered a single country?

There is a small accessibility problem with the CSS presented on this page. The author set `text-decoration: none;` on the links, relying only on color to identify them. This should be avoided.

If only they would have kept the powe button, that could double a finger print reader, ant the esc button. I wouldn’t mind the oled screen I place of the f-keys.

To me, the touch bar is a deal-breaker.

Here is what they could have done:

Right hand side: a regular power button that doubles as finger-print.

Left hand side: a regular esc key.

Replace F keys with a touch oled screen.

I could actually live with that.

I use Alfred for this. It offers clipboard history with snippets which I sync over Dropbox.

Why do you host your screencast on the landing page on Vimeo?

It feels kind of wrong that a company that integrates video into web bug trackers needs to host their own video on a 3rd party video hoster.

I was really looking forward to using multiple accounts in this app. Unfortunately this is not supported. Yet?

It says MIT + Apache (V2) in the Scroller.js file ;) https://github.com/zynga/scroller/blob/master/src/Scroller.j...

I went ahead and made a pull request. https://github.com/zynga/scroller/pull/1

I kind of disagree with this post. Tanks to Modern frameworks young programmers can ship clean code easily. I think frameworks help young developers become better by the day.

First learn about MVC and the first project they writer ends up being somewhat maintainable. It relies on state of the art paradigms, is modular and should be relatively safe.

With time, the framework will not provide all the needed functionality. This is when the young programers start to modify or write simple plugins. So they learn about the Framework API.

Even later, they need to modify some parts of the framework to make it possible to hook into it with a plugin. So they learn about the core Framework.

At every step, the programer is confronted with code written by more experienced programers… To me, this is the best way to learn programing.

I love the usage of Gravatar!

The only problem with the StartupGuild on Yammer is that I'll spend even more time on social networks and less time on getting actual work done ;(

But I like it!

We considered many different authentications and chose Facebook and Twitter because they make it really easy to show avatars of the people who sign.

What alternatives would you suggest?

Ahh... that would be my dyslexia. Will fix it ASAP.

I made an RSS feed of just these episodes, that way you can download them all with one click in iTunes:

I have also added instructions on how to add an RSS feed to iTunes on my blog, if you don't know how to do that:

Enjoy and let me know if you like it ;)

I've heard a lot of that. Yet, mostly from people who've never or hardly ever used the language.

By reputation, PHP is a bit like JavaScript. JavaScript was this language nobody liked. It wasn't even considered a real language by most programmers. Some of it's design errors made it a language with low barrier to entry. Hence a lot of mediocre programmers made it unpopular with code that does not deserved to be called code.

This changed with people like Crockford and his 'JavaScript the good parts'...

It's pretty much the same with PHP. It gets the job done very easily... And once you know what you do, you can rely on it for large projects too. Especially with the changes that were introduced in the latest release: Namespaces, Closures, ...

There are two things that strike me as odd in this report:

1) Why would you go through the process of switching the language. There are perfectly suitable frameworks in PHP, e.g. Symfony, that have the exact same approaches than Django and ROR. MVC, ORM and configuration over Convention over Configuration. Once you have a team that is good at a Language, you'll loose a lot in switching... and this leads me to the second question:

2) How can it take 22 month to rewrite this kind of application? A bit of CRUD and workflow should not take so much time.

WDYT?

There is a massive amount of functions and variables in the global space. That looks fishy to me.

you are aware that PHP uses -> rather than . to access an object method? ;)
