I came here to quote that same piece, but for a different purpose. I am in complete agreement with him. I think writing grep-friendly code is a good thing. I do my best to make all my Perl code easily grepped, it just makes debugging infi

I was rickrolled on the 7th comment I read. I don't think I've ever been rickrolled on HN. I think they just underestimated the need for moderators. Though I can't really fault them for that, a good moderation system is tough.

If an employer was a discriminating kind, they'd already have access to a lot of information they would need, even without the internet. Your sex and race are instantly apparent, age and many disabilities can be guessed, national origin can

I don't know if you can read 100 good things daily , but you can easily get the equivalent of 20 really good books a year just by reading occasional links from Arts & Letters Daily at http://www.aldaily.com/ . (I'm not affiliated with
