That may be the iPad you wanted but to me it just looks like a Tablet PC running OSX.

That's really cool. I can't imagine ever having any use for it as software personally but I it's small enough that I just read a large chunk of the code in not too much time. Awesome :)

I pretty much agree with you on AdBlock. Except at the moment there are those really horrible teeth whitening ads. I just can't take constantly being shown images of close up yellowing teeth.

I've been wanting to do something like this for a while. I've got various experiments using the RatPoision WM (which I use anyway) but I've never managed to get precise buffer dimensions out of emacs or deal properly with focus. How far alo

Ideally you should read an article before commenting on it.

I really like them too, it's quite a refreshing break from the full-ness of the rest of the web. It recalls a time when the web was meant distributing information as opposed to another sales channel.

Depends how hairy the code is really. Any format can be reverse engineered, but that doesn't make it open. Is it really open if the code is so hard to read it's not much easier than reverse engineering from a compiled program? I don't actua

Not especially, Stalman campaigns for free software and he has reasons why he thinks it's a very good idea. Those reasons don't really extend to interviews as far as I can see.

And the public by and large ignores them, which was my point.

I think you underestimate the fickleness of the general public. It probably wouldn't take more than a sex scandal to wipe all awareness of this from the public consciousness.

That looks amazing, what great way for your users to interact with your site. I'd be very interested in hearing those technical details as would plenty of others I'm sure.

But it's not an API, it's a data format, very different things! Supporting both just means there's two ways to say the same thing and every single parsing library has to have that extra case and the spec is just that little bit longer. I'll

The malformed example given is: {foo: "bar"} which is missing the quotes around foo so it should be: {"foo": "bar"} Since both of those would have had the same meaning the JSON spec sensibly restricts things so that only o

They are very similar aren't they? But I like 89 much more, looks much neater tucked in on the left in my opinion.
767.
by almost 17y ago
89 for me, definitely. Echoes the look of your app (assuming that is actually what it looks like in 91) and isn't too busy. I find the most of the others a little distracting, random colours swirling all over the place.

I think people might have been a little upset to find that they needed to pay a further $949.01 to access all the parts of the course :)

Absolutely, but there is fun-hard and there is hard-work-discouraging-hard and this article seemed to me to be talking more about the latter. In fact I'd say that non-hard programming usually gets not-so-fun (although it still has it's char

Programming isn't hard, programming is fun! Ok, it is hardish sometimes, but hard in a fun way not hard in the non-fun way this article seems to imply. And I really don't think your first language is all that important, programming is still

There's a lot more to erlang than a funky syntax. I don't think making it superficial look like something else will increase the number of people how can program it

It's a web poll, hardly the most accurate or fair system anyway. It's also a poll about the career choice of the next Barbie doll, hardly earth shatteringly important (although I am glad to see the choices their considering). What do you th

But the same argument applies to the original "illegal prime" under discussion. Your original comment indicated that you considered the case of an image to be different and you asked how a prime could represent an image. In fact, I'd go as

It is the nature of these sort of sites that they're always right on the edge. Let's try not to push it over though :) Maybe (probably) it will degenerate at some point like all the others have but it would be nice if it stayed around a lit

Nope, that's just one interpretation and it's not more valid then any other. Your argument is equivalent to saying something like this "129 isn't a single number, it's actually 1 10^2+2 10^1+9*10^0 (aka 100 + 20 + 9)". Anything that can be

That I see as the problem, because now a whole bunch of other people will see this and think the same as you and we end up drowning in the stuff. Because of course this sort of stuff appeals to the lowest common denominator and doesn't requ
