"open" is nice compared to "xdg-open"/"gnome-open". It seems taken on Ubuntu (and it's easy to alias), but it would be more obvious

Jeff

I like how the #osx terminal rewraps text as it resizes, and its ability to clear all scrollback excluding the current line (cmd-k)

Jeff

Love that tab completion in bash on #ubuntu works for much more than local paths, including git commands and scp remote paths

Jeff

In #cplusplus, a deeply included header will sometimes remove a dependency that is unknowingly relied on elsewhere, breaking the build

Jeff

Considering a system, we tend to focus on intended uses to the exclusion of alternate ones, such as how it can be used against us

Jeff

#python taught us that tabs are sufficient. #cplusplus could allow omitting brackets in more places (eg single statement try catch blocks)

Good stuff happening this weekend at the Rocky Mtn Pinball Showdown, and the Ubuntu 12.04 release party w/ @system76 and @novacut

Jeff

#featurerequest explicitly pass default params in #cplusplus createDir("a/b/c", default, true). Named params would be even better

Jeff

We use system() wrappers that collect stdout, chain stderr back up, and throw on non-0 exit. Helps with scripts that invoke scripts

UIViewController: What problem is better solved with a second hierarchy that parallels the UIView hierarchy?

Jeff

Is it a sad state of affairs for IDEs when XCode 4 is a big improvement, yet I'm nearly constantly irritated with it? #cpp

Jeff

Started playing through Trine 2 for Linux. All around a solid game and better than the original in all aspects so far!

Jeff

Made an std::enable_shared_from_this clone that works in constructors, but part of me realizes intrusive_ptr is a better option

Jeff

I miss Google Code Search. Even when a API call appears simple, finding it used in practice may reveal useful techniques or caveats

Jeff

When automating a task takes more effort than just doing it at a given instance, too often do I take the regrettable path

Jeff

#cpp11 "=0" seems strange now that we have "=default". What if you want both (ie for a destructor)? "requireoverride" feels more fitting

Jeff

Got a lot done today on shifting engine Linux support from Xlib to GTK+ (after discovering recent work on gtkglext for GTK 3)

Jeff

OSX's Preview/QuickLook supports Collada files (including animations). Very nice

Jeff

Would be interesting if a class definition could specify the type of the this pointer. You could make it a shared_ptr or the like #cpp

Jeff

Google Voice has an impressive amount of useful features
