if you think it's just a text editor and some support tools then switch to vim.
rylee··on Ask HN: How do you track issues, todos, features?
We've been using Taiga[0] recently. It's pretty nice, and free for now. I'm a big fan of how easy it is to loop it into our workflow.

That's Apache httpd. Apache is a software organization.

No there's not.
rylee··on Six years of Go
Sounds like a sadly universal experience. It's really unfortunate — Go is an interesting language, but the place they tell beginners to go to interact with the community is so utterly toxic to anyone who wants to ask any kind of question.

`#go-nuts` is a very angry place.

Do you mean lobby for drug criminalization?
rylee··on Abuse is indefensible
The comments which disagree with the author are patently abusive. I'm not entirely sure what your point here is supposed to be.
rylee··on Abuse is indefensible
No one's saying "you are not allowed to talk"; they're saying "you're a jerk if you decide to be pointedly abusive".
rylee··on Computer, Respond to This Email
You can still do this (at least in Windows 7, the last time I checked.) Just look in the 'Mouse' section of your control panel, and select the one to make <Ctrl> radiate circles around your mouse :)

It's trivial to not be vulnerable to SQL injection.

For the purpose of conjecture, yes :-)
rylee··on The Dynamic Def – abusing Ruby's def statement
> The oauth gem, for instance, redefines '==(val)' on the AccessToken to 'Base64.encode(self.signature) == Base64.encode(val).'

Is this just a complaint about the ability to overload operators in general?

rylee··on Amazon Snowball
A whole lot. It depends on how fast it is going. See http://measurespeed.com/deceleration-calculator.php for a quick-and-dirty overview. Gravity accelerates at at 9.8m/s², so if it fell for one second before impacting the ground, and took (for instance) 0.05 seconds to deform before coming to a halt, it'd have experienced 8.91 Gs of shock.

The article is literally "If you tell these utilities to execute this script, they'll execute this script". NONE of these should be "unexpected".

It's not "hidden" per se, it's the first SO result for googling "ruby generators".

What, precisely, are you looking for? The stdlib continues to grow and improve, MRI continues to get faster, we just got full native unicode support a while back, GMP usage in Bignum, refinements, symbol GC, compiling with jemalloc... and that's just stuff in 2.1 and 2.2.

Oh, whoops! Neat.

It's my cooking timer now. Shouting out "Alexa, set a timer for 9 minutes" when putting chicken on the grill is far simpler than walking all the way to the kitchen and using a food timer.

Are you seriously implying that transphobic people deserve to be considered "oppressed" or "marginalized"? That they deserve our respect?

>Do his opinions affect the software in any way?

Excluding an entire swath of people.

>Is he unable to work with other team members because of his opinions?

Any future or current trans members of the Opal team who are or would be dissuaded away from a bigot.

Even @meh knows he's in an uphill battle. This is a fucking joke. Who is transphobic in 2015? Why would you want someone like that on your team?

Uh huh. Because they'll lose their ability to tell if something is a search or a URL because of bang parsing, right?

But why?
