This is accomplished with the zsh hash table I believe. `hash -d myproject=~/projects/myproject` will set up the same thing for ~/projects/myproject

$ cd ~myproject

$ pwd

~/projects/myproject

I work with the author, the languages included came down purely to expertise available. Additional implementations have been submitted for Rust, Haskell and Ruby's event machine. A host of pull requests have been submitted to tweak the existing implementations as well.

It would be awesome to see implementations in python, c# and java. There are a number of ways to do each, I assume.

UKers, just make sure you get ash bats, not maple. A shattered bat on the ball field is embarrassing. A shattered bat on the streets is dangerous. Likely there will be no bat boy to hand you a replacement.

This is an argument that the unemployment problem is structural rather than cyclical. Paul Krugman points out constantly that if the unemployment problem was structural, we'd see wages rising in areas where there is demand, but wages aren't rising for anybody that makes less than 400,000, though for those above they've increased 23% since 2008.

The structural unemployment argument is a trope to insist that the government can't do anything to encourage employment, because stupid people just can't do today's jobs. Its politics disguised as economics.

Anytime there's such a tremendous gap in security it should be a story, script kiddie, government agent or other.

I think that if you attack and damage entities seemingly at random then its a brand of terrorism. Its not al-queda and its not taking a plane from the sky and yeah terrorism is such a loaded term that we've grown to equate with real evil, but as a method? Its terrorism.

There are other -ism's that could apply as well.

In my experience, there are few departments that have automated tests that could assist in shortening the testing cycle. If there is a bug with a new version of firefox then it will take 3 months to fix it because of the long development and deployment cycles exacerbated by a heavy bureaucracy.

> Please can we drop the IE6 nonsense now? The remaining market share is negligible and the arguments are academic outside of niche markets

When last I checked in with some former co-workers, JPMChase still used IE6. Its a relevant problem.

I love coffee script. With coffee script and backbone I've been able to take an extra step in creating manageable complexity on the client side. I was never the greatest javascript programmer, and coffeescript allows me to not worry about all the things that tripped me up (prototypical inheritance and all the different ways to implement classes/inheritance) and concentrate on the problems I'm trying to solve with a clear set of rules.

Coffeescript curates the good parts of javascript for you and adds the syntactic sugar that cleans up the gnarliness of javascript.

As another developer that definitely isn't in the 100x category, those are some nice sentiments to hear.

One of many many fails was:

Don't use IDs in selectors. #nyanCat {

What's the thinking behind disallowing ids in selectors?

Might that be another advantage of cloud computing? To spread the cost of DDoS defense infrastructure across many websites?

Or maybe that Anonymous idealism was a fraud and lulz, as peers, could see the hypocrisy much clearer, as everybody in their community likely do what they do because of the thrills and ignoring the pain caused. Lulz admitting it is likely taking the high road? or is that too tortured as twist.
