You might also want to look into GitHub's Sundown library. It's an awesome library and being written in pure C, you can use it natively. The reason I wrote myself is that my use case was more markdown highlighting than markdown parsing .

My favorite new feature: you can finally search through your own gists! I use gists all day every day: it's where I dump and share pieces of reusable code. It's always been a huge pain to search for something you know you gisted, but can no

You might be interested in something I plan to open source at some point: a native Markdown lexing / parsing engine meant to be used to stylize markdown for Core Text / NSAttributedString. Here's the meat of it in a gist: https://gist.gith

I was a little disappointed by the explanation – I was expecting this to dive deep into how ANSI code came to be, and how they worked. Not just "hey they exist and are neat." You're probably better off reading the Wikipedia article: http

It's not a common use case, but I've had to do it. Luckily, it's fairly easy: int count_multibytes_encountered(char *text, unsigned long len) { int count = 0; for (int i = 0; i < len; i++) { if ((*(text

I think I'm the only person who likes headers. I'm not overly concerned with compilation times and big-o notation. Computers can compile things really fast nowadays. I'm more concerned with the developer usability benefits & drawbacks o

Hey guys, it's the author here. Working on this site, I really wanted to try all of the modern best practices and try to make something really awesome. I hope you all like it!

I think it comes down simply to: don't set out to make a startup. That's the wrong mind set. You shouldn't be creating a startup for the sake of creating a startup. You should be setting out to solve a problem, and somehow happen to turn th

Instead of operating this as a charity (doesn't scale), why not sell the debt back to the original lendees at face value. (Buy back your $15k loan for $500.) I guess that wouldn't be legal, though?

This is something I've been waiting for for a while. Quality American-made basic clothes at reasonable prices is an incredibly compelling offering. I usually shop from a mix of H&M for basic nondescript items (shirts, polos, socks) and

If your experience with Office sucks, just don't buy it. There is not justification for pirating. It's a free market, and Microsoft's monopoly is long gone. I haven't used Office in years and I've done just fine. The few time people send me

I'm curious, does the use of continuations prevent HN from running multiple processes & from being load-balanced?

Woah, how massive is your screen? You're totally right though, it looks awful tiled. I'll have to take care of that. By the way everybody, I'm working on version 2.0 which is just about a million times better than the original. Hit me up if

I'm the author of a Markdown text (prose) editor[1], and can attest to Jeff's statement that all Markdown's parsers suck. The official perl regex-based implementation is a joke. Sundown is great, but only works for cross-compilation to othe

I don't think my HN id was mentioned in the application, but the co-founders were `progolferyo` and `marialegre`. I'd be super curious what you think of us now, actually. We struggled for a bit to find the right approach but I think we've c

Being rejected from YC is not necessarily the end of the world. I speak from experience, when my company first started out, we tried to get into YC S11, got the interview, but did not make it. We continued along bootstrapped for a while, an

This article serves as a perfectly timed confirmation of my plan for what I'll do next, once I've achieved everything I can where I am right now. I've been planning to apply to YC and start a hardware-focused startup in the home-automation

Maybe I should have been clearer. I don't mean that it wouldn't be possible, just not a successful business model like it is now.

As somebody who actually has first hand knowledge of this issue (I wrote and designed the tracking for a major iOS ad network), I can say that this is an incredibly misleading article. Here's what's actually going on: - Apple has deprecat

Pure C is a fine choice, too. As is Objective-C. I'm pretty sure Objective-C will outperform Java and C# both. And there's no question that the best choice would be C, for its efficiency and its versatility.

I don't find it heartbreaking at all, actually. While it may be a bummer for those who lost the gamble; it was probably a valuable life lesson. Surely they'll think twice about buying into unfounded hype, and depending on the promise of a p

I'm surprised it took so long, actually. What did she expect? Suing her employer makes her a massive liability to the firm. The only thing keeping her there was how a firing would reflect on the case and in the press. KPCB must've decided t
