meh, discord hasn't done anything interesting in years. i'm mostly on Sup these days https://sup.net/i/rgc-fnqc43h

FooIsBar doesn't need to be a subclass of X, does it? The polymorphism comes from the interface (implements `quux`), so inheritance doesn't seem relevant. Feel free to correct me i…

So it means you're used to following through on your curiosity, and capable of fast growth? That's at least what I'm getting out of it right now.

How does this work?

Revision was always emphasized to me, but I never understood why. I always thought I was above it. After I became a programmer and had to look at old code I’d written, I finally un…

This isn’t as big of a deal as the headline makes it out to be. The article describes a video playback issue that Apple’s already released a software fix for.

mrjob doesn’t contain any Cython. The author was just stating it was a challenge getting Yelp’s codebase (which contains some Cython) running on EMR.

The author misspelled MacBook :(

I really wonder what “high-quality Web pages” are. `What is Hacker News?` doesn’t give any results either.

Realize we are all big time nerds with smartphones. Everyone else doesn't have one (yet?). And when Twitter started out, even fewer of us had them.

Doesn’t this seem too basic to have been voted up so much? That is, compared to the rest of the technical posts that are voted up. And perhaps MemcacheDB ( http://memcachedb.org/ )…

In the beginning, you mention that you use bash as your terminal. You might want to correct that.

Now that was idiotic.

The page also has a color scheme changer on the right.

I ordered one because I can’t wait to find it lying around a couple of years from now. Seems like this could be awesome bookshelf material.

Do the eggs have to be in there for it to stand up?

I found this interesting near the end: http://emulators.com/docs/nx13_olpc.htm . The author wonders about A New Era For Personal Computing? I think three years later, a lot of us a…
