Also, a great tutorial for the relationship between shutter speed aperture and available light.

| But it's the law in California that you can't cut off public access to the coastline or alter it willy-nilly, and has been for a long time.

Really? What a great law!

What?!

You're right, it's definitely the zebras who get eaten's fault for not building trust with the lions...

Just because GMail is still better than AOL or Hotmail doesn't mean I agree with the direction it (and Google as a whole when related to Google+ is concerned) is going in.

To be clear, I would be fairly optimistic for the "new Inbox" if it weren't for the new GChat interface which worsened my user experience to add a feature, Google+ integration, I don't necessarily want.

Judging by their recent change of making GChats part of the Google+ Hangout system I am nervous and skeptical about the changes to GMail.

If you're interested in building for the web in a Lisp, you should seriously give Clojure a try!

It still boggles my mind that people pay $500-800 per month for an apartment in Pittsburgh or Chattanooga. You buy a decent house in somewhere else for what 2-3 years of rent in Pitt will get you.

That question was asked 2 years ago.

From the current docs:

A universal variable is a variable whose value is shared across all instances of fish, now and in the future - even after a reboot. You can make a variable universal with set -U:

> set -U EDITOR vim

Now in another shell:

> echo $EDITOR vim

It was available just now in brew for me.

Not a super professional tone.

Can anyone tell me why every one of these articles has this quote or a similar on in there?

"We’ve heard people say that RSS is a thing of the past, and perhaps in its current incarnation it is..." I've seen about a dozen posts on HN about Google Reader being retired so RSS readers clearly still appeal to at least this demographic. My girlfriend will also dearly miss Google Reader so it can clearly appeal to non-technical folks as well...

What has replaced RSS readers, Twitter? Facebook? Reddit? As someone who doesn't use social media I would say no. Google Reader is, for me, still the quickest way to get interesting news / information. I don't understand why all the articles state RSS is dead as a fact.

Sure Mercurial is a valid and possibly better alternative, I'm just hesitant to call git's popularity an unhealthy fad.

What about it is unhealthy and what about it is a fad? What do you wish/hope to replace Git with?

Also anecdotal, but the graphic designers at our company have no problem using Git.

Right! I'm all for sharing the road. In fact when people are illegally stopped in the bike lane I'm not enraged or infuriated at them, even if I have to slow down or come to a complete stop behind them to wait for traffic to pass so it's safe to go around. But unlike you apparently I also don't assume their behavior is motivated by egoism!

As an actual real world bicyclist the ONLY reason I'm in your lane is if a car is ILLEGALLY stopped in the bike lane.

As a cyclist who prides himself on being calm and restrained, I'm always upset whenever I read (literally) any article about cyclists and drivers on the internet. In Philadelphia there has been a lot of tension between the groups and several local news websites have a serious anti-bike bias both in their articles and in their comments.

Wishes to ram bicyclists off the road are commonly expressed, and every sweeping generalization is backed up by some anecdotal evidence. MOST of my friends have been hit-and-run by cars at this point (injuries up to a broken arm) and we're not bike punks or teenagers or activists just adults trying to get to work.

Look at the comments in this article too:

"a lot of cyclist do do infuriating, selfish things", "I still find myself enraged at cyclists when I drive", "Get the hell out of my way!", "It becomes enraging when they break traffic laws"

It seems most people behind the wheel of a car, or even bike, become ENRAGED the second they have to tap the breaks a little. People need to relax and see the injurable PEOPLE operating the vehicles around them. Sadly I don't think this article gets to the deeper issue.

Sounds like all the cars systems were unable to be controlled mechanically. This is why I drive manual.

Also I feel like this would've ended tragically if it had happened before the age of ubiquitous cell-phones. Imagine being unable to call the police from your car in this situation. Very scary.

Related functionality as data, I like it.

Thank you, this is great.

I don't see this as replacing bash or zsh any time soon.

Try Philadelphia. Our current mayor has built more bike lanes than ever and Philly's compact size makes reaching distant neighborhoods by bike a breeze. Anectdotedly myself and several friends do not own cars, some don't even have licenses.

Haskel/Scala has Learn You a Haskell/Scala for Great Good! and Lisp has The Land of Lisp.

Are there any _why-esque guides to Clojure and FP in general like these other languages have? I'm unaware of any and consider it surprising given the Clojure communities passion.

"For example, I've met maybe a couple of persons who have an iPad and tap into its potential (e.g mobile digital library that enables annotations and dictionary; wireless, customisable MIDI controller; client for remote controlling your computer; digital notepad;"

So this is what qualifies as being interesting / cutting edge now huh? I don't know, maybe the article is right...

I assume he means having the more appealing political platform to hypothetical Tech Industry employees ie. young, urban and college educated.

I imagine I will get a good bit of downvotes for this but I would not mind if the Government took away all the guns.

I also got caught by several sites that used a top nav bar similar to Bootstrap's.

You sound excited by the prospect. Personally I feel nauseous at your callous description:

'He will pull out his gun and kill the poor unsuspecting first soul. After that initial shot someone with a concealed weapons permit is going to blow his brains out...'

I truly hope that maybe we work towards a society where mass shootings aren't a monthly occurrence...

Makes me sad that all my post-work hacking on things has been by myself. As a musician his description sounds similar to playing an instrument by myself; fun but not as great as with a group of friends.

Why is everyone telling me how I should live and what I should buy or not buy in order to maximize my happiness?
