I like to call the incognito window my nytimes reader. I paid for the nytimes for a bit but it costs more per week than a monthly netflix subscription and it feels stupid to pay for not knowing how to use the incognito window. It's lik

I made an irc bot, not an irc client. An IRC bot is a great way to learn a new programming language. You have to learn how to use threading or asynchronous operations to get multiple connections, you have to learn how to use TLS for secure

The string manipulation is good in Rust, but in Rust strings are unicode and characters are unicode codepoints. IRC is an ASCII protocol and so I went with using binary slices `[u8]` for parsing. For network stuff I used openssl[0] and std:

Congratulations! I'm loving Rust, it's my go-to default language now. I'm going to start messing around with piston.rs to make some basic 2d games. I already wrote an irc bot with Rust. For those wondering, stable just meant

React is probably too hard for casual scripters. I disagree with the OP's point about it being the new jQuery. It is however perfect for a solid engineering solution to building great web applications. It's for engineers who care

Great, can we stop calling it a bubble now? Like if there were an actual bubble in the bay area, bad trends like this would have popped it? The thing is things aren't really see-sawing. The pendulum isn't going to swing as hard as
