At the risk of sounding flippant: So? Isn't your public facing Facebook profile picture easily discoverable anyway? If you're submitting, for example, a college application, they already have way more information on you anyway. The same goe

There's no real unrest in El DF (Mexico City) since it's far enough away from the U.S. border. All of the unrest in Mexico is either far north (Narco terrorists) or far south (Zapatistas). Mexico's an awesome place with a lot of culture, am

> Why do we still have to name variables OmegaZero when our computers now know how to render 0x03a9+0x2080 properly? Isn't this obvious? What keyboard has 'Ω' or '₀' easily accessible? I'd be pretty upset refactoring or reusing any code

Both. However, my only experience is with the west coast and my impression is that the east coast is different in some respects. On the west coast (in Seattle specifically -- but I believe the same holds true in LA or the bay area) nearly

Possible explanation: A larger percentage of fake accounts on OKC are female accounts? Women are much more likely to be messaged, so if you're trolling it makes sense that you would choose a female account.

I lived in New Zealand (as an American) and discovered Tall Poppy Syndrome while I was there: It drove me mad. Even talking about any of your successes is seen as ostentatious, regardless of the context. The article mystifies me from a glob

Crap. This is why you don't respond without fully reading a comment. Where is my delete option? :-)

Interestingly, that's about the exact experience I had as an American flying into London City. The UK is one of the most obnoxious border I've ever crossed (Nicaragua was worse, but that was a lot more complicated because I was bringing in

Counter examples: I fly in and out of the country all the time (I believe I've returned the the US five times this year alone). I only ever have a backpack and it's not huge and I never check any luggage. I'm not dressed in business clothes

I think you mischaracterize most long term travelers. I've been traveling for a little more than two years and I'd estimate that, unless I don't particularly enjoy a location, I spend closer to a month in most places. I've spent four months

Central (in particular) and South America (to a lesser extent) have way more American travelers than anywhere except Europe (at least this has been my anecdotal experience with nearly a year in Mexico/Central America). Costa Rica is practic

I've never understood this. I have to take my (other) hand off to hit esc and get out of insert mode anyway. Additionally the fact that vim (as opposed to vi) gets rid of the diagonal movements negates a lot of the benefit for me. I also sw

Does anyone have the associated talk (I'm assuming this slide deck was for a speech)? I'm really interesting in hearing more details about the design.

I worked on a project similar to these and did a bit of research on existing solutions. If I remember correctly (I'm trying to find the document) Meebo uses a custom lighthttpd and does long polling.
