From the other comments, I feel more alone in this camp than I thought. I've taken the stance to not even consider a user, browsing sites I develop, with javascript off. It's such an integral part of the web by now, and without it

While it was semi-promotional, they offered him it as a sort of compensation. Should a company not be allowed to give out their products for free for compensation?

I wish there was something like this for Haskell :(... Currently I'm aware of threepenny-gui[0], but that launches in the actual browser (correct me if I'm wrong), which isn't exactly what you'd want. [0] https:/&#

Awesome article! You really cover a lot, in a short but easily digestable write-up! It might be a little fast for complete beginners though :/... I've come to be quite happy with my current VIM setup. I'm using, * haskellmode

While I couldn't find any specific info, concerning compiling applications with HHVM (it seems to just perform JIT), this seems to suggest you can type check without having to go into the runtime, "Hack provides instantaneous type

Actually, for a large codebase written in a dynamic language, introducing gradual typing to slowly convert all the dynamic code, into more stable statically type code, can be a quite nice approach (compared to rewriting the whole codebase).

I'd especially love that for eCommerce systems as well. They require a bit more of a commitment than a CMS (at least that is the usual case). Right now, the only mature ones I know of are all PHP based :/.. I hope that's just

I didn't know people still used that. What would you want out of the RSS feed from this site? (Actually curious :3..) Edit: Ah, didn't see the trending updates before now. Altering my question a bit: is there a lot of ppl on HN us

They could do that: Pay $300k for professionals to maybe or maybe not find something, and get limited PR Or, what they do now: Get good PR and if someone manages to win the competition, it means they found flaws which the pros would, hopefu

Regarding nootropics, gwern has an excellent writeup on different ones, and how he tested them http://www.gwern.net/Nootropics . You might already have seen it, in case it might be helpful to others.

Very easily. But that might be because in Denmark, it's rather the exception than the norm that people don't know english. Of course with varying degrees of proficiency.

Except for maybe Haskell[0] and Lisp[0], I've begun to feel like there isn't any language that I can't quickly learn with how I'm able to google at the moment. For example, I'm currently helping some fellow students

Have you considered using Mailbox[0]? I also do the Inbox Zero thing, and absolutely love the overview it gives me of what I need to do. With Mailbox, you'll "snooze" mails and it'll be like they get delivered to you at

Then they probably shouldn't be running this plugin in the first place. It's more for the people that can occasionally forget to commit, and their commits end up being huge.

This has probably been the most stable Alpha I've ever seen (it's been +3 years in alpha). I wonder what their requirements are before they call it final release.

I use TextMate 2 and MacVim. Used to use TM 1 back in the days before TM2. I don't know why, but there's something about the feel of ST2/3 that just irks me.

Depends on which category you fit into. You use dev tools and stuff like homebrew/macports a lot: fresh install is a lot nicer. You don't use the above that much: Upgrade is fine. As for the packages, I had a lot of different pack

Some minor hassles, most will work when updating packages. You'd probably have to reinstall macports though, if you're using that (don't know about brew). I can recommend a clean install though. I just did that myself on the

Is it really? Try: "Nobody wants to buy the app" vs "Ppl on X OS wants to buy your app".

I'd rather one great looking, well functioning app on one platform, than mediocre crap on several (but hey, I'm also on a Mac).
