Just an appreciation post, not a question. I have reached out to graphviz as my tool of choice for diagramming for my entire career. Sometimes years go by without me using it, but I always end of finding a place to use it. Recently I star

I don't see any information about the source code... No mention of Open source on the website.

I've worked with developers who use this pattern frequently for code execution. try{ .. business logic .. } catch (NullPointerException e) { .. else .. } Rather than a null guard. That's what occurred to me.

Makes me think about the stratification issues I have on my phone these days - some conversations in What'sApp, Telegram, Signal, Riot.im not to mention text messages, email etc. Becomes exhausting.

I live in Brooklyn. In lower Manhattan they might be unnoticed, but that is not New York. Queens, is not Manhattan. You're talking about a major gentrification event. Can't handle is bad wording, but it would seriously exacerba

I just don't understand why this conversation seems to be dominated by financial discussion. The main problem that many NYs had with the Amazon deal was dilution of our culture. Dumping 25,000 high earning employees into a complex an

Support at this scale is a hard game. I know some of the guys who work over there, and they make a valiant effort. Training is exceptionally hard. Databases are hard to manage, and it takes years to learn to diagnose their function on unkn

I really don't get this as an indictment of MongoDB, or their OpsManager product really. They used the version of OpsManager that doesn't manage the deployment - is specifically not a deployment manager. Mongo does offer a mana

YouTube works fine in Firefox. I use it all the time. It works well in mobile firefox as well.

TLDR: all standard applications for working with files are unaware of resource forks. This is confusing, and hurts new computer users. #consideredharmful

There are plenty of places people do this already. For example, this is common behaviour in Manhattan.

This is the answer I was looking for. Funny, I've been a long time linux user, and never knew about these internal names. It does seem like a slight against our Ubuntu, Debain, Mac OS, Windows et al. comrades. Without any context, &qu

I don't understand the joke in calling it that. It just seems petty. Is there something I'm missing?

I have trouble believeing that you can back any of this up. It seems extremely unlikely to me that the number of people who want to "prove that women can run companies" outnumbers the number who want to prove that women can'

I believe that the Servo project ( https://github.com/servo/servo ) is attempting to address exactly this.

This article annoyingly misses to mention THE reason to use Firefox over Chrome. Supporting Mozilla.

Can you clarify this? Generally, if you've published a package, it's possible someone has downloaded it. If you take it down, that's going to be strange and unexpected behaviour for those people.

People should consider checking out Wand as well. Really nice wrapper around ImageMagick. Very good pythonic interface.

This is ridiculous. One uninnovative developer getting excited about fewer choices and lower quality in iOS application.

The gotchas are fine, but the explanations are very poor. I'd like justifications or references. I would prefer Ben Alman, Douglas Crockford, John Resig, Paul Irish, or one of the many talented people writing about javascript if you were a

Hi frumious. Sorry that the readme is light in this area. Before loading the data, just start a connection to mongo, and `use geo` `db.ny.ensureIndex({"geo": "2dsphere"})`. And you'll have your index.
