I see 403 in Chrome DevTools, though.

Maybe: > VBA AROUND(20) VB6 | vba -vb6 would work?

So glad to see him articulate what I've always felt about x-exprs. It often gets overlooked because we all understandably want to hype something in a language that's really cool, o…

>some staff "sympathetic" to the Muslim Brotherhood I think you're accidentally overstating the strength of their case, probably just the clause-level equivalent of a typo. They ac…

DrRacket IDE. Definitely.

So, I just started learning Haskell and I learned a bit of Standard ML in the past. I was/am expecting Haskell to be broadly similar to ML - what's the main way the two languages d…

That's true, but on Wikipedia they do. Especially for cases like that - if someone has more 'sway' on Wikipedia than you, they can (and will often) just say something like "Thanks …

Theoretically 6 & 7 should be a big red flag (the biggest possible UX red flag) to Google regarding the specific Quora page visited - I know that I almost never see Quora results i…

It began with 'C', I don't like to use or even mention it when there may be Americans present, and it was plural... I never said it was a particularly clever review. Although it di…

I don't personally think that is a hatchet job - the quote seems harsh, but it's not the full extent of the review. > The sublime moments come when Donen calms down and concentrate…

What's wrong with writing JSON by hand? I've never touched YAML before, but JSON seems pretty clear to me - doesn't feel much different to writing a list naturally. Is YAML one of …

I agree. Game dev is a very different way to learn to code, and one that's more accessible when you don't have specific guidance. If you just want to do indie game dev, it's great,…

It did make me do a double-take the first time I found out that Chthonic's blood-soaked bassist was called Doris. Taiwanese band, not Chinese, but this particular cultural quirk do…

Quick'n'dirty construction of custom mutable trees, I guess? Don't know about important. Best guess I have.

Just commenting about Facebook ads, the rest is pretty accurate in my experience - On FB, that's the remarketing side, and it's a lot more manual. Generally the goals and data will…

Have you tried uPlay? It's genuinely worse than Origin in just about every way.

Looking at Steam, there's a huge undercurrent of games that don't get pushed, don't appeal to the hardcore, but that - in aggregate - sell a very noticeable amount. Hidden object g…

On What Matters by Derek Parfit. Happened to be vol. 1, but vol. 2 is also fantastic. Honestly, Reasons & Persons would also make a fine gift.

I think it might take a while. http://coolconversion.com/math/factorial/What-is-the-number-...

I guess that makes sense actually, I think I only even ran into an issue where bytecode was actually relevant because I'm just a hobbyist programmer. So I like to explore things th…

This line also stood out to me: > [Oracle]: even Java programmers don't learn about Java bytecode. Uh, what? I'd hardly call myself a dedicated Java programmer and I've learned abo…

I agree. I also think that dog breeding should be illegal, though, which is a much less popular stance.

I mean, it's often much worse. http://www.petpugdog.com/pug-breathing-problems http://thesharpeivet.co.uk/services/skin-problems/ http://web-dvm.net/what-has-happened-to-the-german…

How does Truebill make money? It seems a little too good to be true to be free. I mean, I can think of a bunch of perfectly acceptable ways to make money off this (selling anonymou…

My fairly crude theory is that those sites have slightly broader and thus less tech-savvy userbases, so searches might represent ingrained ways of accessing the site more than they…
