Re: The *nix Rube Goldberg Machine – .bat;.cmd done better

Sweet, yeah that works much better! BTW I didn't know you could use the $() syntax like that.

That's why I was using the for loop so that I could pass along the arguments.

This is way mo 'betta

Thanks!

Would you be able to just do this?:

echo $(find . -name 'BottleRunner.exe' | sort -r | head -1) $<at>

(comment field wouldn't let me put an at sign)

</at>

Boy, you could use couple of hours learning powershell.

I use msys, specifically the default install that you get when you install msysgit.

Which bash environment are you using on Windows? Cygwin? Msys? Something else?

Re: The *nix Rube Goldberg Machine – find/grep/vim

The *correct* way is to use -print0

~> find . -type f -print0 | xargs -0 grep dovetail
That says, print the output using 0 (-print0) as the delimiter and pipe that into xargs setting the delimiter to 0 (-0)

I assume you ignore paths with space because of The Separator Problem (pi.dk/5). Consider using GNU Parallel to get that to work.

Thanks! I didn't know if that would annoy some people

Compliments - it's like a story line, super fun to read. As compared to most blogs that just present information.

Thank you?

Uh....yeah... ;)

Nice intro to *nix command line.

One small correction - sed stands for Stream EDitor, not String Editor.

My apologies, this was meant to be a satire post making fun of our industries reactions to rant/troll post with their own rant/troll posts.

Hence the definition: refers to a pompous, self-congratulatory discussion where little to no progress is made

Much of it is done to feed egos or draw traffic to their sites, rarely do they actually add value to the conversation.

This post is in fact by my own definition a troll post and should not be taken seriously in any way.

This post is offensive and distasteful. If these continue I will no longer come to or recommend los techies.

Re: Huboard – Github issues made awesome

You have described it very well. Now a day, I feel that, no need to go out of the internet because Internet itself, showing many different and unknown information to us. Today I have got an useful information from your blog...

I can't wait until the disgusting curved drop shadow trend is finally dropped and in hell forever. It's such a terrible effect. It makes all interfaces look like shit by making you perceive them on a wavy, ugly, impossible surface that assaults your eyes with visual poison. Throw up.

I've kicked around having WIP limits.

Naming your labels
1 - Development - 3

I could use the last number as the WIP limit. In theory WIP limits aren't enforced, I wouldn't restrict you from dragging more cards into the column than the limit. I will just indicate a problem, such as turn the background of the column a different color (like red).

Metrics and trending are difficult to do right now, because huboard doesn't have a datastore everything is pulled realtime from the API. Somewhere down the road when it grows, I'll need to add in a caching layer. When that happens I'll re-evaluate adding a datastore and then it would be possible for those features to be added.

Looks interesting but I would not call it a kanban like board as there are no kanban elements to it such as the basic WIP limits. But it looks like a nice simple Agile workflow board. Github integration is awesome.

Since this is a tool for developers, and not for general consumers, I'm not sure that IE support is a priority. Most developers don't do their development work in IE, even .NET programmers. I never use GitHub or do any debugging in IE. I only open IE to make sure things work. But, as I said, since this is just to manage your projects, then I don't think IE support is a priority.

Just my $0.02

Oh, and, great work!

This is really ambitious of you. I like it. Hope it gains more traction in the OSS space.

I use it and like it a lot. Great work Ryan.

Also, screw IE support. Concentrate on the awesome. Likely it will work fine with IE 10.
