Fun fact: the latest version of this software uses SwiftKey under the hood - http://swiftkey.com/en/blog/swiftkey-reveals-role-professor-... (Disclaimer: I used to work for SwiftKey)

Sorry, can you explain why? If the checksum is provided (as part of the sh snippet) by the website with the SSL certificate, isn't that enough reassurance?

Would this be better if the pasted command included some checksum which was checked before piping into the `sh`? Can anyone who's better at bash than me give an example of how this could work in a relatively cross-platform way?

Would there be any adverse effects on the world if people took note of this, causing the distribution of birthdays to change so that there was a significant spike during the May-July low-risk period?

If you had a language model (say, trained on existing comments from Reddit), you could encode the data in the comments in English, and make the abuse a little more subtle.

I'd be pretty keen to do some of these: work outside of the UK, work in a small/efficient team, write some more Elixir, learn more about data science/statistics, live somewhere I can get better at kitesurfing.

I can't imagine that propellers play nicely with kites...

I guess the drone wouldn't be able to launch from the water if it had landed upside-down?

(As a concept, this is amazing - excited to see how well it works in practice.)

I left my job in the UK nearly nine months ago. I travelled overland through Europe to Turkey while working on a couple of freelance projects, mostly staying in hostels. Since then (and after spending a month over Christmas with my family), I've been in India for nearly four months, working on more freelance projects. I'm going to try somewhere more digital nomad-friendly soon though.

It's hard work. As one of the other comments mentioned - travelling itself is time consuming. But I think the biggest issue for me travelling alone is a lack of regular social contact. I suppose I'm a relatively solitary person - I enjoy spending time with people, but can survive without it. Europe was way better for meeting people (in part due to staying in hostels). India is tougher in that respect - but it's cheap, it's such an amazing country, and the people are friendly. Having the opportunity to read more has been cool. And learning to kite surf.

I've been really lucky to have worked with some awesome clients so far (in part because they've been both understanding and just generally curious of my lifestyle - but also just because they're great people working on fun projects).

The digital nomad lifestyle is something I'd wondered about for years, and I knew it was something I had to try, even if just to get it out of my system. Travelling without a time- or money constraint changes your experience for the better, I think. I have no regrets - I absolutely recommend it, even if it's just a short-term thing that you change your mind about later on. And yes, pack light :)

I second the 'CLR via C#' recommendation - this made a huge difference to my understanding of the language.

I understand that notifications could be helpful in some cases, but I actually like the fact that people don't get notified when someone replies to their comment, and I had assumed this was deliberate. It seems to make debates more objective. For example, if user A makes a statement, and then B disagrees, I like the fact that C can come along and backup A's points, rather than a defensive response from A. (Having notifications that were delayed by an hour or so might make for a good middle ground.)

In the same way that "Netflix" sounds like the perfect description of Blockbuster?

I love the 'Goto Symbol (in Project)...' feature, but I really wish the input would be populated with text you have selected in the editor. This way you could jump to a function/whatever underneath the cursor by doing something like: Cmd-D, Cmd-(Shift-)R, Enter - instead of copy-pasting, or retyping the symbol. I added this to the mass of suggestions in the ST forum, but I guess it has been lost or rejected :(

I haven't read it, but a really smart ex-colleague is the author of 'Debug It': https://pragprog.com/book/pbdp/debug-it

I was aware there was something similar on the command line, but hadn't explored the details. This doesn't sounds as convenient as (a hypothetical responsive) SourceTree, but thanks for the pointers.

The main thing I like about SourceTree is that it makes it easy to stage 'hunks', or select lines to stage. I also like that (as with UIs in general) it makes it a bit harder to make mistakes (by, for example, typing the wrong flag on the command line).

But it's become unbearably slow. I really wish they'd fix this.

Ctrl-T, N, Enter :/

This is cool. I had a similar idea in mind when I started working on my elevator project [1], but got a bit distracted with supporting multiple buildings.
