> I wager there are at least some decisions a PE needs Director approval on (where the reverse is never true).
While a PE is probably not /asking/ for Director approval on their decisions, I would say they do have the power to create almost as much business impact by making good or bad decisions in their work -- both formal decisions about things like architecture, stack choices, etc as well as informal decisions like how they treat their teammates, who they recommend for hire, etc. The old trope of "the old greybeard in the corner who won't let us do anything" comes to mind.

Circus Galop was actually originally written for player pianos, not "in" MIDI, but with a surprisingly similar goal in mind to black MIDI. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circus_Galop

Re:Ducksboard is joining New Relic
on Wednesday October 08, 2014 @12:42PM (#8427856)
But New Relic isn't necessarily designed to be a tool to save you hosting $ (although I suppose it could). What about as a tool to save engineering hours, and increase conversion rates by reducing error rates and improving performance? Maybe the "worth it" changes then -- especially when you consider that we have a Lite product that's absolutely free for unlimited apps, servers, and request volume -- just limited to 24 hour data retention and missing some of our more advanced/in-depth features.
I work for New Relic, obviously :)

iTerm2 (http://www.iterm2.com/) is a mighty fine drop-in replacement for Terminal.app that adds a whole basket of useful features. I live in it and love it. :)

Well, hang on there. I'm not here to become Mr. Homebrew Defender, but saying 'this project has 400 pull requests, that's a problem' isn't fair at all. The majority of those pull requests represent users updating formulas to new versions of things, or adding new formulas, not fixing problems that prevent things from compiling.
Like any solution, particularly a 100% opensource solution, it's not perfect, but it does do the job, the majority of the time. YMMV, but I have 24 Homebrew formulas installed and have had zero problems with any of them.

Re:Tools I Use - tmux
on Sunday January 08, 2012 @01:20AM (#3439018)
I use screen regularly, but mostly to be able to attach and detach to sessions as I move between work, home, etc.
tmux users frequently tout its ability to do nifty split screens and other window management, but I'm not sure I understand the value of doing this over just starting another iterm2 window/tab and using regular window management tools. Cmd-tilde or Cmd-tab is one less key than Ctrl-a, h.... :) What am I missing?
