I have been using https://github.com/scmbreeze/scm_breeze, and though not as feature-packed, it does make the workflow fast.

I've been using this for probably 6-7 years now and it's become a standard part of my workflow. I've never had problems using git, but scm_breeze makes things faster (shorthand commands for common operations), and adds some nice bells and whistles. It's never caused a problem for me in the entire time I've used it either.

A few weeks ago, I spent some time in reading O'Reilly's Beautiful Code (http://shop.oreilly.com/product/9780596510046.do). The book is essentially a collection of essays from various programmers describing what they think of as beautiful code.

I particularly liked Brian Kernighan's description and implementation of a regex matcher, and Travis Oliphant's discourse about multidimensional iterators in NumPy.

Worth a read.

One of the first tech talks I remember was Bryan Cantrill at Google, and I vaguely remembered that he mentioned at the beginning of that talk that he had contributed to a book called Beautiful Code, so I double-checked and it seems to be the same book.

Looking back up the talk, it points to his review of the book here: http://dtrace.org/blogs/bmc/2007/07/28/on-the-beauty-in-beau...

> More specifically: read [two specific chapters with very different attitudes on what makes code beautiful]. It seems unlikely to me that one person will come away saying that both are beautiful to them. (And I’m not talking new-agey “beautiful to someone” kind of beautiful — I’m talking the ”I want to write code like that” kind of beautiful.) This is not meant to be a value judgement on either of these chapters — just the observation that their definitions of beauty are (in my opinion, anyway) so wildly divergent as to be nearly mutually exclusive. And that’s why the title is perfect: both of these chapters are beautiful to their authors, and we can come away saying ”Hey, if it’s beautiful to you, then great.”

Yes, each successively clicked affiliate link overwrites the previous one.

Any metadata? No, affiliates just see which items were purchased and the quantities.

Hope that helps.

That's interesting - thanks!

Hey hey, wait a minute.

I searched out Code (http://www.leandomainsearch.com/search?q=Code) and tried to register codejet.com ,which was shown available by you , but, it was already registered. Similarly, I tried to get Codehit and again, it failed. Could you please explain?

This is a case of his fast, DNS-based checking method not providing accurate results. You can see the difference by running nslookup and whois on the domain. Nslookup just uses DNS, whereas whois goes to the registrar/internic.

$ nslookup codejet.com

Server: 1.1.1.227 Address: 1.1.1.227#53

server can't find codejet.com: NXDOMAIN

$ whois codejet.com

Whois Server Version 2.0

The results are not perfect.

I added a "doublecheck" link on the registration dialog box that allows you to confirm before following through to the registrar.

If you want to learn, get that version control book by Erik Sink. And like other best things in life, it's free (including shipping).

Yes. :)

The writer was, at some point in his life, a spoiled teenager. Most of my friends and other teenage students near me, (By the way, I'm from India, 15) love to do their homework, as, it's challenging and we feel something after completing it. Same is the case for most of the teenagers in other parts of my country, nearly everyone does their homework properly.

It's the BBC, so I guess the writer is from the UK. In which case, she is propogating the "I'm an idiot and I can't be bovered to work" attitude that seems prevalent among some of the youth there. Shame really, and from the BBC too.

Yeah, we sure buy this...

I am from India. I find the remark quite plausible.

really? what about Bangalore?

Works fine, except that scrolling doesn't work on an iPad.
