No one suggested this. I think people would be less mad about the situation if they thought about it from the bicyclist's perspective.

Or rather, that assumption is irksome, rather than its truth.

My primary goal when biking is to stay safe. Everything else is secondary. I want you to get where you're going quickly but I will not feel guilty about making you slow down if it's going to keep me alive.

I think a lot of the car rage at bicyclists has to do with this unfounded sense of entitlement. I suggest you read up on bicycle laws.

(tl;dr: It ain't your lane)

There are a ton of reasons for not being in bike lanes including snow, pot holes, glass, other debris, and the very real potential of getting doored.

Heads up, there's a typo in the first sentence: achieveing -> achieving

It's a bit confusing that the site (ThePaperBay.com) has the same theme as your blog.

Maybe it'd be better to think about this as a list of priorities, where there has to be ordinality. For example, developer happiness is the first priority, and ease of parsing falls somewhere further down. When Matz was creating the language, when he came across a problem with multiple solutions, he picked the one that would result in highest developer happiness, not which one is easier for the parser.

Is that a better way of wording it?

Can someone explain what this means and why it's happening?

Ah okay. Cool, thanks!

Worth noting that outing someone requires an immense amount of courage.

I think the more privilege you have, the less courage it takes.

If they're open source, you could fork them with better names. You could even set up an rsync type script so it's always up to date. This could nudge him in the right direction. This would fork discussion in that community, forcing everyone to use two names for a while. But it's probably worth it.

For those who are interested in more than the cursory description offered in the article, I also came across this:

Let me know what you think! Thanks :)

Marco was right: http://www.marco.org/2011/11/02/scaling-down-the-mac-pro

You might want to put the description at the top of that post, and in the README on github.

I'm not sure if Svbtle has a policy for this, but I'd appreciate an "(affiliate link)" disclaimer after a link to a $63 book.

I had a blog post sitting in my drafts folder about Aaron Swartz and David Foster Wallace. It was waiting to make it perfect, but I don't think it ever will be. Thanks for this post, causing me to tidy it up and publish it.

Here it is, for those interested:

Good idea, especially when combined with online learning (cousera, etc.)

A friend of mine in Germany used to meet up with an American studying abroad at his university for 2 hours a week. One hour they'd speak English, the other German.

I imagine it's not that uncommon.

Desktop. Bumping line-height up from 20px to 30px makes it significantly better, IMO.

Some line-spacing would do some good too!

Measuring innovation solely by patents seems like a patently bad idea.

I see what you did there.

Very cool! You might want to change

USER_AGENT = "Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_8_2) AppleWebKit/537.17 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/24.0.1309.0 Safari/537.17"

to something a little more honest though, unless you have a good reason for keeping it.

This reminds me of the first iteration of color.com

Obviously Instagram has the benefit of network effects.

The cultural differences among states do vary, but not to the degree countries in Europe do.

I was curious so here are some population figures (from wikipedia)

    Eurozone: 332,839,084

    EU: 503,492,041

    Europe: 739,165,030

So 45% of Europeans (66% of EU citizens) are in the Eurozone.

This is a great marketing idea.

Care to elaborate on why?

Github's tagline is currently "Build software better, together." Wouldn't this help people create better software?

I'm not saying they should automatically add secret_token.rb to gitignore, just that they could let you know you might not want to do that.

It'd be nice if github would suggest adding secret_token.rb to .gitignore when it's uploaded.

Just a theory, Twitter could support Anonymous and suspended their account very temporarily to attract more press for the YourAnonNews account.

I don't necessarily I believe that, but it's a possibility.

Hm, the scribd link is prompting me to download the pdf
