That doesn't work for me. git commit -a --amend prompts for commit message in $editor git commit -a --amend -C complains about lack of input Maybe this is a git version specific thing.

Exactly. And if you know that you just want the SVN/HG commit-everything, just add a -a. Pretty intuitive. Once you get used to having the ability to create arbitrary commits from a huge changeset, you'll find it aggravating when everyone e

Absolutely. Hudson is great (I would even say invaluable), and Kohsuke, the founder, is an inspirational programmer.

The page states it is only your first 30 created repos; did you have 30 before Leiningen?

Google did try this. I don't think it ever left the lab, but I used it for a while. I think they may have canned it; I just realized I haven't seen it in a while. It was called searchwiki. I think it was originally just supposed to apply to

I'm sure the price reflects a compromise in savings between the hotel and the consumer. While this is a simple example, removing inefficiencies like this is a good thing for the company, and a good thing for the consumers. By the way, much

Fascinating. I find it particularly interesting that Jobs, since moving back to Apple, has done nothing interesting with the Web, but so much with the desktop and hardware. Sure, iTunes delivers music over the Internet, but it is not a web

This article made me realize that Google's engineering/metrics based approach is more suited to some tasks than others. There are far too many possible views of the map to "design" by hand, but the algorithmic tricks that Google is so good

Hey, those are great! I don't know how I haven't come across those- feels like I've explored every git resource on Google. Maybe I should've used DDG :)

Nice! I also had a tough time understanding the manual on this topic, so I made the following diagrams: http://cmurphycode.github.com/Git-Diagrams/ (Source is on GH, so you can send changes!) I printed out the get/reset diagram and referr

You can use the visual mode for selecting text, then operate on it with the usual vim business. There are commands built in for a lot of actions, and if there is a right click option that the extension doesn't provide, you can always write

You can search for text easily with chrome or firefox. With firefox, you can hit the quote key and search the links, pressing enter to navigate to the page. F3 goes to the next result. The same feature is not available in Chrome natively,

What's the difference? We're substituting having superior intellect with having the willpower to work hard. It seems weird to say that at first. But the more I think about it, the more I think there must be a reason why some people do per

I agree completely! I suspect the solution to the CAPTCHA paradox will be something we haven't even considered. In fact, I don't think we can even solve it directly- we have to approach the problem from a different angle. For example, we ca

This is fascinating. It reminded me of another documentary on conjoined twins who are fused partway down the spine. Almost the complement of these twins! The wiki page for the other girls has information and links: https://secure.wikimedia

Using rebase this way is not harmful, but the author didn't explain the situation when it is! As usual, the Pro Git book does a great job explaining: http://progit.org/book/ch3-6.html In short, if your team develops with an old-school, SV

The historical question is very interesting, and I'm going to have to look into that more. But I suspect that artisans (a class that has changed a lot, if not died out completely) were very passionate about their work. With the huge amount

There's an old quote I've heard attributed to the military, but I'm sure that's not the origin. "Slow is smooth, smooth is fast" Practicing fundamentals slowly is the traditional advice in everything from piano to karate.

I like the !:-, even though it's super ugly. It's the perfect complement to alt+. !! is a classic, but the article mentions it.

Here are some of my other favorites: ^foo^bar replaces the foo in the last command with bar example: less setup.conf, ^less^vim alt+. recalls the last argument of the last command (in emacs mode, anyway) example: less setup.conf, vim alt+.

Would you accept an approximation for results as you type, with the true, exact search happening when you stop typing? I think this would be very useful, especially since I don't need to search the absolute real-time index of my emails 99%

There's always a chicken-before-the-egg argument with companies like Apple. Do people love using their products because of their marketing, or is their marketing effective because people love using their products? I think it's naive to say

This is a classic engineer response. It's not about who does it first, it's about who does it right. We didn't have the technology to implement this properly 5 years ago. I've never seen the Ovi Maps tool you mention, but I'm willing to bet

I find careful measurement of activities is extremely helpful as a starting point for life change. After a certain point, you can leave the measurement behind, or at least back off the intensity. This is fortunate, since keeping such carefu

I don't think it's as simple as keeping moving. I lost that flexibility fairly early on, certainly in the middle of playing multiple sports through high school, and I'm still very active today. I know I don't do enough stretching, though. I

This is the stereotypical Asian squat. Interestingly, young children do it by default. I think we lose flexibility as we age. I can't squat back on my heels without straining my shin muscles to keep from falling backwards, but the more I do

We used to think that the performance gap between people was completely accounted for by their innate intelligence. Now, we know that working hard is often even more important. Do you think there's an innate ability to process information t

Great idea. I'm convinced that we can find a way to tap into all of the wonderful data on the Internet. Right now, it's just too hard, which is one of the delights of reading a well-researched article.

Most of the recent criticisms of TV that I've seen don't spend much time recognizing that the human brain needs downtime. As a way to veg out after 12 hours of programming, TV isn't any worse than reading a trashy novel or whatnot. I think
