Something tells me you just read the latest XKCD.

I'm surprised to not see Formencode's validation on any of these lists: http://www.formencode.org/en/latest/Validator.html

Have you looked into SaltStack at all? The default is to write states in YAML+Jinja but you can change it to use pure python, or a PyObjects renderer that gives it a very pythonic API.

Not necessarily. Bike shedding refers to arguing about trivial issues. Naming can have a huge impact on how something is perceived so I wouldn't call it trivial.

I just rolled out a measuring tape to 12 feet and I'm quite certain my local traffic lanes are nowhere near there..

Seriously! I'm in the middle of watching it too; What total BS!

jdipierro | 12 years ago | on: No Need for RVM or Rbenv on OpenBSD

I agree. I don't just use RVM because my OS doesn't have the latest version.. I use RVM because I work on a project that uses jruby, and another that uses 2.1.1, and yet another that uses 2.0.0. Those projects may also require different versions of the same gem. With RVM I can have a .ruby-version and .ruby-gemset file in the projects root and RVM takes care of switching the version and gemset when I move into a projects directory. To quote the article: This seems like a much cleaner way of working!

This.. Is the best flappy game ever!

jdipierro | 12 years ago | on: Facebook isn't broken, I'm just not interesting

I don't know if you can get as fine-grained as "posts relating to programming" or "people you haven't interacted with in X days" but you can add people to "Lists" and then switch your wall view between those lists. One person can be in many lists.

jdipierro | 12 years ago | on: Facebook isn't broken, I'm just not interesting

This is exactly what I was thinking when I read the 'The Facebook experiment has failed' article. It seems like just another case of people not knowing how to filter their wall feed.
