Recurring theme: In languages with string interpolation, don’t use double quotes unless you really want interpolation. #singlequoteeverything #bash #perl #python #ruby #shell

Still can’t believe that #Ruby’s «caller» returns an array of strings.
♫ You’re a sad, sad robot. You’re a sad, sad robot. You’re a sad, sad robot. You’re so alone. ♫
Passing a block to #Ruby’s Dir.mktmpdir() is turning into a royal pain on block exit: File locking issues on Windows, order of deletion of files and symlinks to those files on Linux. Dropping block and manually invoking FileUtils.rm_rf() instead.

Now this thing about the swipe direction on a post in #Felix being the opposite that of a certain other client drives me nuts.
Dang, #Felix’s reply behavior to a post with multiple mentions is awesome. Don’t ask whether to “Reply to All”, just include everybody, but select all IDs other than the first so that you can quickly remove them if you don’t want them. Nicely done.
sigh There does not appear to be an #ADN client in the #Amazon #Android app store, which is a pain for those of us who refuse to use #Google #Play.
