    Hey, I'm the original author of the repo -- I noticed a bunch of stars coming in and figured it was coming from Hacker News, heh. I should probably go and make it clearer in the RE…

    Oh wow, earlier this year, a few friends and I built a proof-of-concept of emotion-targetted content delivery in news feeds for a hackathon [1], as a way of warning people that thi…

    I wrote the original Homebrew formula for exa and remembered adding support for the Git-less install, so I was surprised to see it wasn't there anymore! Seems like it was removed i…

    Note that this video is of SethBling pulling off the credits warp for the very first time, when the current setup for the warp was unknown. Here is a video of Seth performing the w…

    It's amusing to watch repositories being added in real-time. I'm a fan of the Lucky (777) and Mark of the Beast (666) hash-related achievements.

    UBC's introductory CS course (CPSC 110) uses HtDP/2e as its "textbook". Given the progress that the majority of students make throughout the term, I think it's quite successful in …

    Thanks for continuing development on Skeleton! My current blog design is largely based on Skeleton 1.x, but it looks like I'll be updating it this week.

    It's a visual representation of the most optimal tic-tac-toe strategy based on a given game state. Assume you're playing as X, who goes first. The largest X in the whole figure is …

    Greg's blog is what inspired me to use Pelican. I'm currently using Travis CI to automatically build and push changes made to files in the source branch to the GitHub Pages branch …

    Awesome, thanks for updating Local Euler! It was unbelievably useful that there were already text-only versions of lots of the puzzles when I started putting together EulerPy. I'll…

    In retrospect, I probably should have contacted you before using Local Euler in this project. Hopefully you don't mind.

    Thanks for the kind words. It's fantastic to see people making use of my project!

    It would definitely be cool to implement a `--hint` function to complement `--cheat`. However, in order to do so, I would need to find a resource that contained said hints on a per…

    Hmm, I'll have to keep this in mind when I get to adding problems like this. Time to convert GeoGebra images to ASCII art /s!

    Ah, I like this idea. I'll look into implementing it. Edit: I just realized that implementing encryption with respect to the problem answers would imply removing the `--cheat` opti…

    The solutions that are stored in the package are only plain answers - not actual algorithmic solutions to each of the problems. I understand the concern, but in my opinion, if some…

    Good point; I'll keep this solution in mind.

    Comment #7957335

    I considered this, and figured since the solutions are stored by the program anyways, it would make more sense to include the functionality rather than to omit it. Naming the optio…

    Oh wow, didn't think this would get posted to Hacker News. I only submitted a link to /r/learnprogramming and /r/Python since, being my first ever Python project, it seems pretty r…
