   This is beautiful and succinct. It makes me wonder what part of this whole operation can even be considered a "success."

   That's a technique Steve McConnell calls "The Pseudocode Programming Process," and while it's verbose, it's not a Bad Thing. I don't do it, but I'd rather have comments like you posted than none at all.

   I'd like to see someone make an animated .gif with those images.

   It was only slightly obnoxious, which I prefer to dry, soulless presentations.

   I feel it's excessive for collecting what is essentially free.

   How would you say your pure chicken would compare to a USDA Organic chicken I can buy at the store?

   This almost sounds too good to be true. I wish they would release more nutritional information about the "chicken." And give it a good name.

    I think small developers that use XNA and publish to the Indie section of the Marketplace don't have to worry about $40k patch fees.

    I believe this approach raises the overall quality of games in the Marketplace. A developer on Xbox Live Marketplace will be less inclined to rush out a broken game and release updates every day until it works. If they have to pay $40k/upda

    Exactly. He didn't say, "Well, I guess I don't need this. Here, I'll just let my employees deal with it." He made a conscious decision to not increase his wealth for the benefit of others.

    Not to mention these cities and neighborhoods are very pedestrian-friendly as it is, since they were around long, long before cars were invented.

    I'm used to seeing parentheses around numbers when talking about ordered pairs, or in the context of matrices and dot products, etc. We do use dots to represent multiplication, but they're not on the "ground", they're mid-height, aligned wi

    OK, I can get used to that if I had to. I don't understand how lists would work though, like I ask here: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4257721

    Thanks for the insight. One more thing I can't figure out based on your reply is: how do you differentiate a decimal number from a list of numbers? For example, consider the list: 12.3, 7.6, 3.2 It's easy to see the three different

    Somewhat off-topic, but this has been bugging me for years: for countries that use , instead of . in decimal numbers, how do they pronounce it? ie For the number 12.3 million, I could say "twelve point three million" or "twelve dot three mi

    Yeah, and it's pretty good. We should grab a beer and watch it sometime.

    Thanks, I really appreciate how you broke it down. One thing that I was wondering about that you don't address directly is: how do you compile/execute your code? Do you have to exit vim every time, run your compile/execute command, then rel

    I like this idea. It'll be difficult to convince the best and brightest to start using your site when they have their pick of the entire internet. Tell them that you have a space already prepared for them, with a curated list of all their p

    It's one of the top level comments: http://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/tmtd4/what_are_th... The list at the top of the page is perfunctory, the rest of the top-level comments are meant to add to it.

    I don't think VCs should be worried about Kickstarter, at least in the near future. A VC can see the long-term value of a business idea, whereas Kickstarter supporters are just excited to get their hands on a shiny new toy. I think it's a l
