We still have BitBucket. Cheers.

I used to root for BitBucket earlier because I too didn't like GitHub being treated as if it was 'The Way to Have Git On The Internet'.

However, after I started working at a place which uses Atlassian's wiki software and JIRA, I don't hold them in high regard anymore.

Now, I root for GitLab.

I got so tired with todo tools/ stuff like that, I wrote my own in Go. I don't have to worry about the changes they make to their products and it works offline!

I am currently working to make it run via ajax, it'll be fun :-)

Different name, same issues. Your comment doesn't provide anything of value regarding the issues he raised.

If you think he said "there is only GitHub", then I suggest you re-read his comment.

I think some already did. Say Sina Weibo.

How to solve it: the book is definitely teaching a generic way to break down problems.

Define obvious. At least the pointer pointer version is obvious to me in this task.

Pointer pointer can't be applied everywhere. If you try to reverse a linked list in O(n) time with O(1) space using a pointer pointer, the code would be less obvious than using a prev pointer.

Yeah, Pyret!

Came here to post just this. It is an "academic" language, designed more for teaching than for any production use, but it has a good pedigree and I've had some fun playing around with it.

Em...that's just half of what OS X can do. I have the same model, but my laptop can last at least 7hours in a coffee shop.

This is the 11" mid 2012, 13" has larger battery -- I was lucky to get 4 hours with os x when I first bought the machine, the battery is now 4 years old and gives me 2:30-3 hours under latest Ubuntu.

I think the author is saying a generic runtime instead of having each language to create its own.

> but in the end environment friendly means: using less energy (in any form).

Is it? I thought it meant no harm to the environment. If the charging station is powered by solar energy, I don't see how using the otherwise wasted energy wrong.

We also thought that using oil wouldn't harm the world.

It's all about scale.

Of course some solar panels are not going to harm the world. But what if we need, lets say, 1% of the earth covered with solar panels?

If it's hard to predict the effects it might be dangerous.

I like the "house of cards" metaphor. After learning how these three companies could help each other in his biography, I think the possibility of collapse is actually pretty low.

Well, no one mentioned Bullet Journal: http://bulletjournal.com/

They've already done a good job explaining the system, so I won't do it here.

I used it when I was still in graduate school writing a paper. I managed to track tons of tiny details in the writing process.

I think the most useful thing is the task migration. You must migrate unfinished tasks from today's log to next day's log, manually. During the migration, I sometimes cross out some random thoughts that I put as tasks.

This is the time that you _must_ spend everyday. It somehow can keep up your sensation of completeness. I know some apps can help you do this automatically, like todoist, but I don't think that really works for a long run (at least not for me). I find that if I didn't do the review (migration), I intended to get slow start the next day, and gradually the system would collapse. That's how I failed todoist :(

Just my 2 cents.
