Ruby and Swift (and other languages I'm pretty sure) allow you to have named functions nested in functions

Django Unchained - Cloud Atlas - Looper - Argo - Easily the best movies I saw this year, they were all really, really awesome.

I agree with this article, typing the code out (as long as you are focusing on it and not just typing absentmindedly) really forces you to read all of the code, which should help y…

My friend and I have been working on Protobowl, a realtime multiplayer quizbowl game. http://www.protobowl.com

It seems like sites like this are becoming more popular, or at least the idea of them is. This is the second one I've seen recently, the other is http://www.codewa.rs/ , this one l…

Sort of off topic but that app you linked, typing.io is really cool, thanks for sharing.

Wow, this is easily the strangest top post I have ever seen on hacker news. I actually can't stop laughing. I guess it's because most people just don't think about technology and s…

I have only been programming for about 2 years, but already in that time I have noticed an incredible amount of changes when I look back at my old code. Some of the things that I d…

This is exactly what I was thinking as I read the article. There really are "Crazy Coder's" out there who write obfuscated code just because they can and it's infuriating.

I saw the second video, which shows the sound and that is pretty cool. I don't really understand what the point of this is though. Why exactly would you want to sound like a horse …

This is pretty awesome, I'm going to be using it for sure. As the title suggests I definetly think it is much better than the standard bootstrap modal. You should try to get this i…

The idea here though, as far as I can see, is for people who are lazy and presumably fat. A person like this (possibly the average American) has very little will power and wants to…
