Yeah, I'm pretty certain that he means using var_dump on a live server (especially of $_SERVER) is incredibly dumb.

Not all 2FA requires an iPhone. Any phone with SMS will do.

Just a friendly remind of the sites that support 2FA, Apple is on the list: https://twofactorauth.org/

davis··on Steve Ballmer steps down as board member at Microsoft
I think you'd be interested in reading Thinking Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahneman.

Specifically, he addresses CEO's as well as the stock market. I think equating Ballmer's leaving of Microsoft to the stock market success is coincidental at best.

Thank you. This is exactly what it is.

Fitz actually jokes about METAFONT in the video at 11:29: http://youtu.be/0SARbwvhupQ?t=11m27s
davis··on Put Yourself Out There: The Myth of the Genius Programmer
I disagree. I could concede and agree that a bit of confidence is needed, but certainly not overconfidence.

Well of course there will always be outliers =]. I prefer the Satoshi Nakamoto outlier myself.
davis··on Neovim Newsletter – Issue #1 – A New Hope
The code is just being refactored so a lot of the code that needs to be patched still exists. The patches are all quite small as well; it just exists in different places.

Take a look at some of the patches to see:

- https://github.com/oni-link/neovim/commit/24c22daf94f8f38f83...

- https://github.com/oni-link/neovim/commit/80c6f97da6e5c49f35...

I don't think it would have been better. We don't need another TextMate 2 on our hands.
davis··on State of MetaFilter
That's strange because I feel that AskMeFi is what keeps me going back and visiting.
davis··on Global heatmap of cycling and running routes
Yup, I can also confirm those are mountain biking trails.

I used to bike past here every weekend 1.5 years ago. I clicked on the link because it said Minneapolis but I didn't expect it'd actually be a place that I've been before.

Possibly this will answer your question? http://www.reddit.com/r/vim/comments/1yqqhl/bram_responds_to...
davis··on Neovim's Next Feature Poll
Thanks for the feedback. I created the poll so I'll be sure that when we create the Bounty we are clear in that the underlying API is what we are looking to improve.
davis··on A Programmer's Guide to Data Mining
Here's the link to the online Stanford course: http://online.stanford.edu/course/statistical-learning-winte.... It is being taught by two of the authors too. I definitely recommend checking it out.
davis··on Ask HN: Plans for 2010
Are you me? =]
davis··on Happy holidays from Gmail: Free snailmail gift cards
That's an interesting take on it, I wonder what they could possibly use a 255 character Christmas greeting for.
