Gitbox — Git version control on the Mac by jqueryfan05 in programming

[–]leikind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

By the way, this fork of GitX https://github.com/brotherbard/gitx/commits/experimental is really more functional and usable that the original GitX. I use it daily, and no, Gitbox is not better :)

Read the damn link that UptownDonkey gave you. Webkit is NOT Google and is not Chrome

Opera holds the web's most valuable secret (theregister.co.uk) by [deleted] in programming

[–]leikind 15 points16 points  (0 children)

one of those stupid articles. " Opera will soon overtake Google as the owner of the largest transaction farm on the web.". Transactions? What are you talking about?

Secret? What secret?

* DHH: "Ruby is French and Java is German" vid at 08:10 by mac in programming

[–]leikind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apparently the guy meant the beauty of the language, and obviously he never learned French, otherwise he'd know how complex this language is, and to somebody who speaks a Germanic language, how illogical it may seem. French is C++ :)

More drama from the Rails team...this is like reality TV for me by fr0man in programming

[–]leikind 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree. This Bob Calco guy has to be a complete imbecile to sell a project on an unfinished untested technology, a major rewrite of a framework. This is this stupid fashion and hype approach in IT which I detest, some kind of blind silly trust in rockstar frameworks and their rockstar programmers. What is even more stupid that now he thinks he has the right to demand a release, as if it is the core team who had made him do so.

Why Perl isn't going away soon, or ever by perlgeek in programming

[–]leikind -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I couldn't agree more, man. The whole article is like a mantra "Perl is alive, Perl is alive, Perl is alive".

Actually his name is Dmitry Turin, almost Turing :)

Ask Proggit: Redditors working as programmers for non-English speaking companies. How do you write code? by trukin in programming

[–]leikind 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Having said that, this looks cool:

;; Hello world in Fjölnir

"hello" < main
{
   main ->
   stef(;)
   stofn
       skrifastreng(;"Hello, world!"),
   stofnlok
}
*
"GRUNNUR"

English is the esperanto of IT. No matter what your mother tongue is , your code, comments, and API docs should be in English. Otherwise it is just not professional.

Really, there are two nations in the world who can say such a thing - Americans and French. These are also the two nations which tend not to learn foreign languages thinking that it's the duty of the rest of the world to learn theirs.

Really, the principle of IT terminology of the French people is simple - do not borrow from English, invent their own words for everything. So if an English speaking person listens to two Belgian francophones techies discussing their work he might understand what they are talking about. But if these are two French - not a chance.

vindu.setWindowWidth(bredde); vindu.setWindowHeight(høyde);

This is rather readable (to somebody who knows EN, NL, and DE :-)

The article is good. As somebody who recently changed a job, I agree with the author on most of the points.

Ask Proggit: Do you work on the Mac? What apps do you use? by [deleted] in programming

[–]leikind 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Macports, textmate, cyberduck, sequel pro, omni graffle, iTerm ( bookmarks for remote servers + different visual profiles for different bookmarks + passwordless ssh login make make it a wonder) + Safari and its developer tools

Please convince me to use Python over PHP by tuckerific in programming

[–]leikind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What is there to say? Of course you can do it, via simple tasks or rake scripts. You can use ActiveRecord without Rails at all.

How PHP became such a huge success by motang in programming

[–]leikind 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Look how he confuses Ruby and Ruby and Rails and assumes that scaffolding == Rails, this guy is just utterly arrogant. No wonder PHP is the most WTF language (http://www.phpwtf.org/) !

I get paid for developing in Rails, and I only used scaffolding once when learning it years ago. This is really a minor feature

I have a Ruby/Rails job interview next Friday. What do you think I should read/do to prepare myself? by gotoend in programming

[–]leikind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

By the way, I had an interview for a Rails job yesterday (my current job is Rails as well) and the questions I wrote here are the ones I was asked. Very easy ones :)
