TROPHY CASE

Is there an extension that prevents opening multiple tabs of the same page? by Reddevil313in chrome

[–]KerrickLong 4 points5 points ago

It's built into Chrome. Go to chrome://flags, and enable the following:

Focus existing tab on open Mac, Windows, Linux, Chrome OS

Typing a URL of an existing tab into the omnibox results in refocusing the tab instead of loading in the current tab.

Most important question answered at 2:00 - Open source hardware? Not now because they use a chip that's not generally available, maybe in the future.

Show /r/programming: I made a ruby gem to give you the power of Google Search in your command line! by KerrickLongin programming

[–]KerrickLong[S] 0 points1 point ago

Haha, I actually add 1 to everything I show the user (and subtract 1 from everything the user inputs) so that the first result appears to be result 1. :P

[–]KerrickLong[S] 2 points3 points ago

It's a one-trick pony because I put it together in ~12 hours (including time spent researching, eating, taking breaks, etc.) and I'm a brand new programmer. This is my first Ruby project--in fact, my first non-JavaScript project.

Show /r/ruby: I made a gem to give you the power of Google Search in your command line! by KerrickLongin ruby

[–]KerrickLong[S] 1 point2 points ago

Thank you for this list. This is my first gem, and in fact my first non-trivial ruby project.

  1. For some reason I thought fewer gem dependencies would be better.

  2. I mentioned that it's only tested on 1.9.3, but yes I should mention specific incompatibility with 1.8.

  3. I'll look into that.

  4. I'll be honest, I don't know a thing about testing. I'll definitely look into that, because automated testing sounds so much easier than manually going through and using the app over and over in different ways after every change.

  5. I'll keep that in mind, I didn't know of that convention.

  6. So I should just list each file individually?

  7. I'm sorry. I know. I wrote it overnight. I'm sorry. I know. I wrote it overnight. I'm sorry. I know. I wrote it overnight. I'm sorry. I know. I wrote it overnight.

  8. I only did it because I wanted to keep lines under eighty characters. I didn't know about the backslash bit.

  9. I'll look into it.

  10. I'll look into it.

Sorry, I didn' know if /r/google would appreciate the link to the CLI app as much. :P

The future for many graduates that colleges never tell you about. by Mind_Virusin occupywallstreet

[–]KerrickLong 3 points4 points ago

If I continue to make so little money that I am annually evaluated to pay $0/month, the remaining balance will be canceled after 25 years. I don't see anything about taxes on the forgiven amount, though.

That said, I doubt I'll be earning this little for 25 years. Hell, I hope I start earning more ASAP. IBR is a good way to cushion against the problems many recent grads are having getting jobs, because it's universal--no worrying about asking for a deferment and hoping you get one.

I make about $600/month. Under IBR, I pay $0/month.

I love 15 yo jackasses with overpriced camera equipment. Here's why by droelf1213in photography

[–]KerrickLong 63 points64 points ago

I can classify who isn't a photographer. If you've never taken a photograph, you're definitely not a photographer.

Trollop - a commandline option parser for Ruby that gets out of your way by KerrickLongin ruby

[–]KerrickLong[S] 0 points1 point ago

I'll be honest: I don't know anything about OptParse, I was just regurgitating what the author said on that answer, and on the trollop page. :P

Trollop - a commandline option parser for Ruby that gets out of your way by KerrickLongin ruby

[–]KerrickLong[S] 2 points3 points ago

The author wrote a vitriolic comment about it: http://stackoverflow.com/a/1012930/126329

Basically, it's a single file with relatively few lines of code, no libraries, no gems necessary, and best of all it requires you to type very few lines to implement.

Free today only (5/23), my Kindle book about the best Chrome extensions by thealoofin chrome

[–]KerrickLong 0 points1 point ago

Why not make it a blog post or website?

Edit: It's only free today, so I'm guessing you made it a Kindle book so you could charge for the time you spent compiling it?
