Unix tools are very powerful, but they are not as intuitive as I would like. It would be nice if we can have an httpie for process management, one for text manipulation, another fo…

I still hold that grief. If not for SC2, we could still be watching another Flash vs Jaedong today. So SC2 basically killed a source of entertainment for me.

> Seems Larry decided he knew better. Apparently he did. In the same biography, Isaacson wrote that "asking for advice to run a company" was just a clever way for Larry to visit Jo…

Very often articles of this nature end up being either too abstract and too vague or too detailed and I would lose focus midway. This is very finely written.

I like advantages (1) and (3). I have a bad feeling about (2), however. And there is one immediate disadvantage I can think of: the required comments for down-voting would dilute t…

Huge opening theory and high draw rate are primarily the reasons why I switched to another mind game called Gomoku. Gomoku, when played at a high level, requires as much depth as C…

I am still patiently waiting for a more up-to-date of Okasaki's classic with examples written in Haskell.

Seeing how down-voted you are makes me scared of the US work environment. Looks like the only way to avoid any potential trouble is to act like a robot not just at work but also at…

I may as well throw in my implementation in Go here: https://github.com/seri/goalgo/blob/master/st/llrb.go LLRB definitely isn't as sweet as advertised, but saying it's a scam is a…

Thank you for this. Got me really interested in folly now.

Does anybody know a stable Lua package for HTML scraping, preferrably similar to Nokogiri or Beautiful Soup?

Under free opening rules, Gomoku has been proved to be sure-win for black, aka the first player. This work done by Victor Allis could be part of the reason why Gomoku is undeserved…

Yup, Gomoku is a much more difficult game than it looks. Indeed, the game is challenging enough that there is a world championship every odd year. You can find the games from the l…

There's a reason these guys don't call themselves a "social utility" anymore... But anyway, that's a whole 'nother subject I am reposting my comment on Google+ as it seems relevant…

I independently ended up with the same impression with the OP. Go feels just like a statically typed Lua. Not only does Go inherits Lua in some specific language features as pointe…

First of all, I should state more clearly that I am describing my view of a dream editor rather than what I think should be done right in the Vim community. That editor will keep t…

Likewise. Although the API documentation for ST2 is not yet mature as the API itself is changing, having written against ST1, I must say the experience feels much more intuitive an…

I was less impressed with Microsoft's performance than their team spirit. After all, the mere fact that MSFT has way more employees than the other teams already means that they sho…

That was awesome, sir. I love the attention to details in the scenario you described and your analysis. I only picked up the hobby of watching Starcraft about 6 months ago (I watch…

Day9 hosted an event called The After Hours Gaming League in which eight tech companies will compete each other for charity. The event has just finished its first season with team …

I disagree that our country would be a better place if we all spent even more time blowing sunshine up each other's butts. I completely share your view. In fact, the software indus…

The content of the orignal post may be questionable, but I feel it was written in a way that would trigger a heated debate. For that, mission accomplished. There has been many wise…

I use FuzzyFinder ( http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=1984 ) instead of Command-T, and I would also add: Endwise: https://github.com/tpope/vim-endwise , Matchit: http…

You caught me. In the past, I used to express my opinions, which are often strong and controversial, aggressively, but over time, I learnt that it's in my interest to make a consol…

And IMO isn't nearly as good as the earlier one. "I Am Nothing" has a self-help tone that puts me off, and the number of sentences per substance is too low for my liking. Paul Grah…
