How can I avoid the Carpal Tunnel Syndrome? @Calmarius turns out the twitter feed I was looking at is old too, he has a new site at zedshaw.com, but this article doesn't seem to be there yet. |

How can I avoid the Carpal Tunnel Syndrome? @Calmarius it is down for me too, but his twitter feed still points to that URL twitter.com/sheddingbikes If I find it elsewhere I'll amend the post, for now the only thing to do it to hope it comes back. |

Being IDE dependent. How can it harm me? This is a fascinating question to me; I have never programmed in anything other than Emacs or Vi. As a consequence I have no idea what an IDE gives you that you could even become dependent on. |

What tools/strategies do you use for planning and why? Same here; very flexible and powerful. Easy only if you are already quite confortable with emacs I would think though. |

Attributes of an Ethical Programmer? I really like the words hack and hacker in their non-criminal uses; preserving that is a losing battle it seems. For some ethical guidelines see the ACM code of ethics: acm.org/about/code-of-ethics |

Why do people disable JavaScript? Also, bad neighborhoods is rather relative here. I would think in general the nobel prize website is considered not a bad neighborhood; however there was an exploit that used it a while back: techspot.com/news/… |

Why do people disable JavaScript? Craig, paying for software has nothing to do with it. There are plenty of security holes in paid for software; and there often is a gap (in time) between the finding of a security hole and the patching of it. (there is a gap in, I believe, a windows library that can be abused by a pdf from the web; likely will be patched tomorrow, but has been known for some weeks). Disabling javascript helps for many of these exploits. |

Can somebody explain me what are lambda things in programming? Note that the terminology historically comes from wanting a good way to talk about the function represented by an expression. The function represented by x+1 is then written lambda x. x+1. |

How can you learn to design nice looking websites? As a free alternative to Photoshop you could try GIMP, see tutorials at: tuxradar.com/gimp |

Languages on a resume: Is it better to put “C/C++” or “C, C++”? One would really hope it doesn't come down to distinctions such as this. |

What are the 'must know' Emacs commands? another not command, but nice to look at ido-mode. |

What are the 'must know' Emacs commands? org-mode is great for notes. Not a command though. |

A measure of development speed I would expect that a certain "win" is only past a certain complexity and experience level of the programmer. Measuring with just beginners mostly misses the point. Really using a language well requires language specific experience. |

Which comments instantly ring alarm bells when a programmer says them? @Tom that is only true if you believe everything is computable; this however is provably false. I agree that surely the build in question must have been though. |
