The characters aren't really meant to be believable. http://books.google.com/books?id=TYZaNwrIM8YC&pg=PT664&#...

Crockford warns against ever using `with` in a talk he gave last year. Discussion on `with` at 19m58s: http://ontwik.com/javascript/douglas-crockford-javascript-pr...

Edit: He says it's not that `with` isn't useful, but that there is never a case where it isn't confusing.

Looks like the OSX menu bar is lost when all applications are closed.

The linked 'DeveloperIntro' page hasn't been updated since 2010, but the code was updated as recently as last month. EDIT: http://code.google.com/p/ergoemacs/source/list

This is what I took away:

> Agencies don’t hire writers just because they know the rules of grammar. We hire them because they’re eloquent, lucid, imaginative wordsmiths. We hire them because of their practised ability to lovingly craft words into things that work. Things that make people feel.

Agreed, I've noticed this type of signaling often in the hospitality industry. I'd compare it to a DSL with which a leader can communicate unobtrusively with those they lead. In certain cases it takes more time and effort to communicate information or instructions verbally, and it's more noticeable.

Hard to imagine how deafeningly loud it must be.

The bundler docs show the former: http://gembundler.com/gemfile.html

It seems to me that Homebrew is much more popular than Macports among rubyists. I would like to see actual data though.

It's likely everyone you interview knows nothing about it, so it isolates logic and reasoning skills from previous knowledge. The accuracy isn't important.

Isn't Turner Broadcasting (http://www.turner.com/) the parent of CNN? Or am I missing some information?

I have found that branches are the default for git users working on any project larger than a toy.

Starz was breaking new ground for cable tv content providers. Now they decide to return to the stone age? Of course their internal numbers might tell a different story, but this still seems shortsighted.

You don't suck at GitHub, you suck at Git. And that's not out of the ordinary. It takes time to grok Git.

Of course, flyt was being sarcastic I believe.

I'm also shy. I don't know of any instruction manuals, but I'll offer a tip. When you go to the next hacker meetup, sit down next to someone and immediately introduce yourself. Maybe that's the end of the conversation, maybe it's just the beginning, but forcing yourself to verbalize with someone at the start of the event will make it easier from then on. It's also likely that the person you sit next to is just as shy as you and me.

"NASA engineers were counting on it to function for just three months" and it is still functioning 8 years later? What an impressive accomplishment.

A few internal emails detailing possible corruption would be a start.

Google labs lab winding down

I'm sure your feedback would be much appreciated, if you've got the time.

Well done README. I certainly appreciate that.
