This is something that I think we've all joked about at some point or another. It's strange seeing that it is real now.

Others were mentioning before today that "Twitter should black out because it's one of the few services the people in the government use, so they would experience the impact of SOPA." Twitter is a sounding board for the internet, and I thin

Right. And considering the overwhelming majority of consumers are exactly those types of people, the iPhone is a better product since it is more appropriate for most people.

If you think a 14 year old could build something as complicated as 1998's google.com, think of what an adult with training could do at the same time with the same resources. As technology advances, so do our expectations.

Is this surprising to anyone? It's so much easier to lie in a message. You don't need to worry about facial cues or consequences being as severe.

TinyProj was cool. Unfortunately the only jobs I applied to had a ton of other people also apply, and as time went on, the quality of the jobs severely degraded. Some of them smelled like a scam to me. Either way, it was a valiant effort a

It even shows which git branch I'm in. How cool is that!

Beware if you add yourself to this list, your phone will go crazy with google+ notifications while it processes all the people following you

I'd recommend re-asking this on StackOverflow. You'll probably get faster results, and it's a more appropriate place to ask technical questions regardless.

I find it incredible that 46% of projects were successfully launched through Kickstarter. Kickstarter is one of those fantastic services that enable people to do cool things that normally wouldn't have been able to be done, and I love that

Exactly. I think that metalsmithing in the past would be a better analog for programming today. It is difficult, takes years of apprenticeship to do well, but it still provides a valuable service (horseshoes among many other things). Not e

I agree, and also I'd like to add something. While it's not really an attractive job to many people, it's also relatively difficult for most people. Farming is different in that it's easy for anyone to do (it's just manual labor). Realis

You're right, I did miss that. I saw nested tags and assumed this is another CSS compiler (or whatever you'd like to call them). I guess you could say this is like Doxygen for CSS?

What makes this any better than SASS or LESS?

I think your example is a little too much. Whitespace isn't significant in C. When talking about programming languages, I don't think whitespace refers to spaces between tokens. It's mostly a reference to indentation.

I ran into this one first and started to wonder if the whole site was a joke

This is what I do. I can clone a git repo, run an install script, and have my typical vim setup running in a trivial amount of time.

These new users probably carry their expectations from the real world to the internet as well. If some merchandise from a store isn't good, you don't appeal to the company who produces it, you simply tell other people your negative experie

This is really cool, but what's the benefit of using a textarea instead of a list of small forms?

Why not have "time to submit" points work as follows: The problem details aren't shown, only a brief description. User clicks a button "accept challenge", is given problem details, and the server starts recording time until a solution is s

This is right on the money. I don't know how we are going to support the lower-class in light of this revolution. There are far too many people who are not in a position to pursue education and it is these people who are having their jobs

Probably because you didn't add anything meaningful to the comments

What's not to like about it?

That is a neat trick. Even though it's one more character, the expected way to do this would be: "dt("

I wish I knew about this kind of thing last time I hacked on node.js... I would have had such better & cleaner code. This clears up a lot. Thanks

I understand that, but I feel like a majority of the javascript async code I've seen has all been in this format. By chance, do you have an example of handler which would wait for multiple async requests to complete?
267.
by agscala 15y ago
Here's one thing that never made sense to me: lets say a request comes in and data needs to be collected from 3 different sources, A, B, and C before a response can be given back to the client. You say that it would take max(A, B, C) in o

I don't think anybody would seriously consider doing that; it wouldn't be enjoyable at all.

It's mostly because of the way JavaScript handles your 'line joining' point. It's not great, and it's easy to shoot yourself in the foot.

Excellent. I was disappointed to see that the phone I recently purchased (VZW Incredible 2) came with a locked bootloader so I couldn't install a custom rom. I had resigned myself to waiting for a hacker to come up with a solution, but no
