(reduce + (map (partial + 2) (range 10))) ...reads great in my opinion. Surprised no one else has brought it up.

Ranges are inclusive, so: sum $ map (+2) [0..9] Nitpick, but it confused me for a second.

At least on OS X, Firefox is as well behaved as you might expect when forcefully triggering an infinite loop on beforeunload.

I've also found the lack of parametric polymorphism a huge pain point. Type safety is constantly sacrificed to allow for code-reuse and nicer APIs, leading to really awful code usi…

Personally I'd prefer .dev for local development ala http://passingcuriosity.com/2013/dnsmasq-dev-osx/ . Let's petition Apple to make this default in OSX. Game, set match.

A better ls! I love the git integration.

I concur. I was in a similar situation at the beginning of the year. Started a new company with a couple friends, and it's rekindled my passion for programming and forced me to gro…

Would be extremely appealing if it borrowed more inspiration from Jade than Haml.

Not much different, really. The biggest practical difference is that Python generators implement the iterator protocol which means it's possible to easily iterate over them with fo…

There is some history of irc channels associated with HN, consider visiting ##hackernews or #startups on irc.freenode.net instead.

I've noticed that, and have been taking advantage of it. Any downside to using `this`, besides potential scoping issues?

Speaking of McIllroy, reminded of this relevant story: http://www.leancrew.com/all-this/2011/12/more-shell-less-egg... .

I found this is an attractive and well thought-out resource for understanding vim motions: http://naleid.com/blog/2010/10/04/vim-movement-shortcuts-wal... .

With a bit more background (on lambda calculus) I think this would make an interesting intro to lambda calculus for Python developers.

I have experienced OSX's "swappiness", having gone as far as disabling dynamic paging in an attempt to avoid it. Upgrading memory was the only real solution. A little bit of resear…

Using jslint has saved me a lot of time (I lint everything on write in vim using syntastic). Syntax errors can pass silently leading to difficult to find bugs. Using strict mode he…

I usually just provide a default argument to get: dispatch.get('two', default_strategy)

Who wants to begin work on CoffeeScript-for-Dart? Possibly call it Arrow or Bolt, although I'd find Dash endlessly amusing.

I'm not about to remove Gentoo from my older servers, but I'm probably never going to install it again. Not having to compile everything is a huge win. The Arch build system is fan…

I prefer the crippled lambda. If you need more than a simple expression, you should write another function anyways. The restriction leads towards easier to read/maintain code.

I've found uwsgi is great for multiple site hosting. There are numerous ways to configure uwsgi for this purpose, one of my favorites: http://projects.unbit.it/uwsgi/wiki/VirtualHo…
