Yeah, I didn't see anything I'm interested in as a "power-user".

OSX lately has decided to hide a ton of features out of the box that require changing values in Terminal before being useful. A quick list I know of: - Hiding full paths in Finder - Launchpad can't actually delete things. - Library is hidden

Other weird default settings: - Scroll with trackpad is inverted

It also doesn't have Ubuntu's nice window snapping or Windows' snap to sides feature, which is a big time saver.

Finally, I don't feel like "port iOS features to OSX" has been a win for Apple. It just seems to confuse people by adding more crap to the OS.

So the answer is to paste it into an editor first?

This is evil.

Please don't force users to do something they can already choose to do.

The author invents new words regularly in this article.

Stephen King's "On Writing" talks about this, and I'm paraphrasing:

"Writers who invent words are bad writers."

Which is more Pythonic?

list() or []

dict() or {}

set() or ????

I would argue that the left is more pythonic and expressive.

I wanted to reply, but then it asked me to sign up for Google+.

Then it hit me: That's exactly it. Google+ is Google's way of controlling an entire ecosystem of replies to topics. That's exactly the problem with Google+.

Google Reader was great because it gave you a window into the internet. A window that you could shape however you wanted.

So what does this mean for those of us who have made the jump to Distribute? Do we now jump back to Setuptools in a year or something?

I see this all the time too.

This, despite the fact that my audience knows me by my pseudonym and not my real name.

"Don't write something informative and realistic, make a call to arms!"

The whole point of an internship (or underpaid, monkey coder job) is to get your foot in the door, to get some residue on your resume, and to work with a real team trying to deliver something for other people.

You're naive if you think that you, by yourself, can imitate the processes, procedures, best practices, tools, standards, guides, and mechanisms that a large company can provide, and learn from it all to boot.

I'm all about "hoisting yourself up from your own bootstraps", but sometimes you need other people. Internships are about immersing yourself with other people, not trying to take the mantle of some superhero and thinking it's going to help you fly better.

Yep. I've seen this too, usually as the "Blocked" state at the end of the process. Items that go in the blocked state need a blocked reason.

Bingo. The whole point of Trello is to mock up some manual end-to-end process. The natural state of this is columns that consist of "Backlog, TODO, Doing, Done". More advanced versions of this look something like, "Vetting, Grooming, Backlog, TODO, Doing, Done".

The circles kind of kill the whole point of a taskboard, IMO.

YouTube has asked me over and over for the past year to use my real name on YouTube.

NOPE NOPE NOPE.
