  1. If you go to a URL that doesn't exist on support.microsoft.com, it redirects you to new URL to 404 you. Sigh.
  2. @Rhadamanthos Right, but some people don't have an experienced person to learn from (Nick for me). :)
  3. (OK, I was sort of cheating) RT @djco: @garybernhardt, except when you have merges. mq doesn't do merges...
  4. @mcrute Right, it does the same job as rebase. Except it makes a mutable copy of the repo; you don't have to set the thing up ahead of time.
  5. I love Interface Builder.
  6. @dgou I love the immutability as well! But sometimes accidents happen and are found later. I've never done what I just proposed though. :)
  7. In hg, if you *really* wanted to, you could convert the entire history to an mq queue, manipulate it, then re-commit it. Rebase be damned.
  8. Microsoft just emailed me about Windows 7, with no way to unsubscribe. Marked as spam. Jerks.
  9. In bash, you can say "~" to refer to your home directory, but also "~bob" to refer to bob's home directory. People seem not to know this!
  10. @mcrute s/start with/contain/. "files_have_been_uploaded"; "download_is_ready". ;) Hadn't thought about that before, though!
  11. @srbaker Lies. ;)
  12. @srbaker I've been thinking about coverage overlays a lot recently. Unfortunately it'll probably be a lot harder for Vim. :(
  13. @dgou Right. I like to be able to read the code from top to bottom, but I still have some habits that fight that. :)
  14. @mbria I do Python and Ruby now (and have for years). I think that C just warped my brain my early days and I'm still fighting it. :)
  15. @mbria I blame C. For whatever reason, I disliked forward declarations, so I wrote my modules upside-down. :(
  16. A useful rule?: If you don't understand, throw in print statements. If you need more than a couple, revert, refactor, and try again.
  17. I still have a habit of declaring higher-level functions after the functions that they depend on. That's horrible.
  18. The Jones polynomial is currently kicking my ass. :(
  19. @mrotondo Dude, I just got rid of a copy of "Thrilling Sounds of The Haunted House"! That's crazy. It has to be pretty rare.
  20. @ronhopper Yes, but I want any *and* none, so I can say whatever I need to without a "not"! :)
