I wanted to use date-fns on the current project. But, the gotcha is due to its lack of timezone support many of its functions are inherently broken (e.g. startOfWeek). So, if you n…

Funny, I have the same story from the other side. They could have chosen to not alienate and lay off the clojure team. We were pretty happy, working on interesting projects, indepe…

Actually, though... If they've been monitoring everyone's internet traffic, it's feasible they have unwittingly downloaded illegal copies of media. Meaning they've committed copyri…

How does he use Emacs without Ctrl, or Alt? edit: For that matter, how did he type "ps -ef | grep -i os12" with no "|" key?

Based on their feature list, it stores your email addresses and passwords encrypted on their servers, with your inky account password being the decryption key. The idea being that …

> Perhaps the game should be to transform one block of code into something different in as few keystrokes as possible. Related, http://vimgolf.com/ but vim-specific..

So far the biggest annoyance is truncating results.. It's cute, but not very useful when exploring output. For example: (.. System (getProperties)) produces a lot of output, and I'…

And yet they still make a healthy profit.

Sometimes a quantitative difference becomes a qualitative difference. For example, motorcycles are just faster horses (in some ways worse, like for off-roading), but you could hard…

It seems disingenuous that this article completely ignores Google as a source of innovation in the last 15 years. A company which (pretty successfully) organizes the entirety of hu…

As a counter-argument to the "don't aim for 100%" thing, I would say that code coverage is more important in interpreted (and loosely typed) languages. Particularly with preventing…

Cool! Just bought a tp-link wr703n for use as an Arduino wifi bridge (24 USD). We'll see how it goes. Thanks for the tip! That Ralink USB dongle looks like a great way to hook the …

Also, would this include just guessing passwords? As that seems to have fallen into the common definition of 'hacking'...

In Vinge's novel Rainbow's End, there is a group called the Friends of Privacy which basically exists to obfuscate and inject noise into the identifying information found online.

There was a project called Hyperarchy I saw a while ago (their site seems down), which had the idea of 'delegating' your vote to experts you trust on certain topics. So you could s…

I didn't notice the 'kudos' button, but went to look at it, and accidentally sent one. Makes me wonder how many of them were accidentally sent by people hovering to see what it was…

Better yet, a calculator, like Heroku.

> maybe an equivalent dose of pain to counteract the plesure? So, they would have to watch it again?

Linode also has London-based servers...

I like the Noun Project, and I think it's cool, but I doubt its utility at the moment. For example, they have an icon for 'Kiwi', but none for 'Save'? Edit: They DO have several fo…

Awesome, I will give this a try, thanks!
