my first though, after seeing this, is to write a vim mapping that will let me listen to a file instantly.

I'm surprised no one has suggested a vim or emacs plugin that does this yet. Anyone? I don't think this would be too difficult to write in vim, which has built-in auto-complete fun…

It doesn't look like he used 1.0 in the video. Did I miss something?

Why is it anti-aliased? Also, what license is the code?

Nice! I love little glimpses like this to hacking and the web and the culture around it all in the 90's. I used to read this during finals, when not sleeping enough and needing som…

LOVE2D provides a very easy way to deploy binaries: http://love2d.org/wiki/Game_Distribution Also, py2exe is reliable and not that difficult to set up, but py2app is a bit of a pai…

Also, I understand that some people (including me) do have fun tinkering with low level details and tiny optimizations, but when you're making a small game with a small (even solo)…

LOVE2D is a joy to work in. It really is fun, it makes particle effects and physics and sound easy. The community is awesome. I have been working, since September, on my senior pro…

Yeah, this is funny, there is novelty here, etc. A story counting profanities in source code/commits/etc. pops up every now and then. I've found that the only real profanity in a s…

I'm happy to see that, while he did something wrong, because he was honest and openly remorseful throughout, he ended up not going to prison. The cops even seemed cordial, they let…

Markdown is a good start, the minimal syntax is nice to look at, and it could be poweful with an inline scripting language to define macros (Ruby, Python, Lua).

I read an article a while back that said after the engineer that wrote GOAL left the company, they stopped using it and went back to pure C++ or something. Hearing that they use Ra…

Yeah. I think what you (and I) really want is a phone with a two-color LCD screen from seven years ago. Actually, I think those are called tracfones, but they have a stigma of bein…

Thanks, I've been looking for a good tutorial on this for a while. Going to try to implement this in Minecraft (it's funny how Minecraft has incidentally made circuitry easier to g…

Peter Serafinowicz, one of the two guys that created and wrote the show (he also plays the tall scientist in it), also made the music for it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Ser…

I didn't know that, are they still sending out these coupons?

I could rant about a few things that bug me, but please let 2.8 bring a single-window UI. That would confirm to me that they're slowly getting towards something more usable.

I've been using this zsh function for a year or two: jr () { echo "---" echo "\n##"`date +" %a %D %l:%M%P"` >> ~/journal.txt cat >> ~/journal.txt } It usually emits 72 dashes, so t…

The Little Schemer would be great in this format.

As a vim user, I very much lament the fact that there's no good way to run an interactive shell or REPL in vim. The screen hack, Conque, the vim-shell patch, etc., don't match Emac…

I have a half-written xterm color scheme generator lying around. Has this also been already made, or is it worth finishing?

Yep. This kind of stuff can also be done with vimscript, python, or ruby, but macros are short and terse and easy to write. Vim even allows you to record your keypresses and save t…

I've been doing some research on small web servers, trying to understand didiwiki's code (a web server and wiki engine in ~2k lines of C): http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?DidiWiki This is a…
