Didn't really work out for me. I listed my project[1] there, but for some reason it's detected as having 0 issues. Additionally my project is listed under JavaScript repos, while i…

The same would happen with cars if the drivers didn't care of getting to their destination faster, just enjoying the ride for the ride's sake.

Maybe it's because you can write the latter also with plain grep: grep 'silver.*needle' haystack

Now that would take the gray comments a step further by making them completely invisible :) I can't really see the benefit of hunting the comments from your code with cursor. It de…

Neat, but it's still a very linear narrative, with the addition of having to type in commands to be able to read the next section. Would have been much better if the review was exp…

Just like you can't look at the sun directly - because it's too bright... and Hubble is constructed to mainly look at the faint objects far-far away.

I'm a bit disappointed, that the author didn't built a turing-complete interpreter. Frankly I've seen several of such articles which tell you how to build this kind of deterministi…

So what's the big difference of doing it on server side v/s client side? You can get it wrong on both sides. Especially what's wrong with a templating system? A templating system o…

Maybe the author hasn't read it. He only included the ones he had read. I'm more surprised that under the title "everyone should read" are three Joel Spolsky books.

I've been switching between 2 and 4 spaces through my whole programming career. Even now I'm switching daily between different languages and projects with different amount of inden…

What struck me most was having multiple-choice answers on a math test... WTF? You shouldn't be able to just guess the answers one-out-of-four. When I was in school (not in US) ther…

It's not really automatic interpolation. You have to very explicitly place the variable name inside ${var}. I'm puzzled in how you would think this will happen accidentally, or mor…

I would argue the contrary, that the very reason why HTML took off so fast was that any fool was able to craft a site, and it would work even if it had a few bugs in it. Failure to…

You seem to suggest that money is a better motivator than reputation. Money is a motivator, but it's often the wrong kind of motivator. Money can bring in people who do it just for…

The Wikipedia page doesn't really explain how the language works. The manual is a much better source: http://shakespearelang.sourceforge.net/report/shakespeare/

Care to explain how Linus got it wrong? I've never used Monotone, but searching the web I could't find a single thing in which Monotone was better than Git (although I did find inf…

3. For a limited time? 20 years is pretty much forever in the software industry. So sure you might start to look at alternative ways, but it can be quite hard when the obvious solu…

Do you know anybody who acquires new knowledge by reading patents? 1. Because of the legalese language in which patents are written it's pretty damn hard to even understand what is…

Well... you can do all these things when there's no DRM at all. It's like counting up all the things you can do in a new modern prison, but it's still a prison.

IMHO Github code search totally sucks. It's better than nothing, but it feels like the bare minimum - just a normal fulltext index applied to source code. - It's not case-sensitive…

But the thing is, they are not primitives: > Although you might expect int and double to be primitive types, they're actually interfaces that extend the num interface. This means t…

My hopes were high, but the more read about it, the more it started to look like Java: class Foo implements Comparable Observable Deniable ... Why not have interfaces like in Go, w…

Well, in PHP you already have a mandatory '()' at the end of function call - so it's pretty hard to confuse the two. Additionally if your language has first class functions, it wou…

> Remind me to call my wife before I leave work Might be implemented as: while (get_location() == work) { sleep(1min); } go_back_in_time(10min); trigger_reminder();
