There was a tryruby repository at Github, but I don't know if it was all that was needed to run it. One of the things that bother me more is the fact that he also pulled the plug o…

I read his original blog on advogado today. There's a mention of his father undergoing a mental breakdown, and of his sister having drugs and alcohol problems. It ends like this: -…

It was there when he wrote the chapter, with the comic section attached next to it. There are other allusions to him leaving the scene/dying in other writings.

It may not be the right place to discuss these matters, but it's the only place I have (with the programming reddit, but the userbase is different).

The hacker side of the sentence is not debatable. He wrote a graphical toolkit, a sound synthesiser, an HTML parser, html template language, a language (grammar, parser, vm and jit…

There has always been some dark corners in _why's writing, with some dreary biographical detyails permeating. I 2000-2001, his parents divorced, and his father went through a menta…

The interresting part is that you can define on the spot a single usen, throwaway function to be used as a parameter of a function that accepts functions as arguments. Another prop…

It makes sense for the author to use it, since he wants to emulate the behaviour of the "Recent Applications", etc. Dock folders. A bounce is unwelcome in this case, and the other …

When I was an intern, I witnessed, helpless, a newborn losing most of his left hemisphere in the first hours of his life because of a massive meningeal hemorrhage (he's hemophiliac…

The perception of auras is a kind of synesthesia (emotions => vision). It can also be related to optical illusions (like contrast amplification). Spontaneous synesthetic aura perce…

I'm using Chrome 2.0.172.33 and I don't experience what you are describing.

"Rational person" is an oxymoron. A sufficient amount of harassing and violence (both mental and physical) can lead someone to mental breakdown. The threshold may vary from one per…

Actually, I think that we should give it a user-parsable name, quite like Microsoft did when they switched renamed Palladium (easy to remember, easy to target in the media) to NGSC…

The feedback mechanism is priceless here. Becoming increddibly good at something nobody wants is somewhat useless.

It's usually a consequence of not caring much about one's appearance due to your lack of social skills ans poor self image. Beauty comes in part from your attitude, too.

It will look identical assuming the 262k colors monitor reduces the gammut using the same method used for that image.
