  1. @dastels i like to have min and max methods defined on Numeric, then I can just say x.min(1).max(50)
  2. Totally use these all the time now: class Numeric def min(min) self < min ? min : self end def max(max) self > max ? max : self end end
  3. Microgripe: Not sure I agree with Extlib defining String#/(path) as +'/'+path -- I always thought it should be String#/(delimiter) -> array
  4. Do any of you actually use Bespin to write code? https://bespin.mozilla.com/ I'm thinking no...
  5. Thinking about actually trying the switch from Vim to Emacs today.
  6. Doh... been using find, grep and rak. Just *now* learned about ack. Lesson learned: "Need text search/processing? check Perl utils first."
  7. @pjhyett better than having to borrow money to pay to see your own credit score.
  8. @gilesgoatboy DEAR GOD!!! AWFUL!!! thanks for that! :-)
  9. @gilesgoatboy when did anyone ever say "crush it"? i know that wasn't an LA thing cuz i lived there for 10 years...
  10. @evanphx i changed my last name when I was in Hollywood for ten years too, but then I changed it back when I left.
  11. @evanphx wait you changed your name TO "Evan"? That's not terribly inventive. I would have chose "Gorgonosh the Daemon-Vanquisher Phoenix"
  12. From Haskell Job board:"We have an interesting well paid job at a large bank, extracting numerical values from free format text." um...grep?
  13. http://mirrorplacement.com/blog/things-not-to-do-in-your-ruby-on-rails-interview <-- tip number one, don't wear a suit. love it.
  14. drain you of your sanity, face the @thing that should_not be_nil
  15. Tuples are shit.
  16. Cleaning out junk- awesomely insipid Java Developer Journal magazine cover from 2005! http://tweetphoto.com/6095610
  17. Dear open-source software system software developers: PLZ to put more ANSI colors in console applications. Thanks.
  18. That was a reference to http://www.javascriptlint.com -- Frigging handy for debugging syntax issues in massive js files w/o a browser.
  19. Can't believe I never used this before. Its so damn handy. I even have <C-j> vim keybinding now: :!jsl -process %
  20. Hey super Ruby gurus. Why how come Proc.new{return} blows up but proc{return} doesn't? Sure is nice that proc{return} is an option...
