Exactly what I wanted to say. It's a bit like Facebook where everyone seems like they've got more interesting lives than yours - but that's just people cherry-picking the interesting bits of their lives and putting that on di

This is not the sort of game I'd normally play (not a massive strategy or sandbox games person) but I was very impressed with the campaign they've put together. They've got a playable demo, a lot of media acclaim already, and

That was my first thought too. I've got permanent tinnitus even though I'm in my mid-twenties (brought on due to headphone abuse when I was a teenager). It sounds more like a high-pitched tweee sound than a hum, but I've he

I was thinking more of a post-apocalyptic sci-fi story. > We lost everything in the Big War. Luckily our last supplies of Bash built-ins were left intact. If we pool our resources and use our remaining executable bits wisely, we might ju

I can definitely see that working. As long as you differentiate it enough from a volume icon.

I did specify "fantasy" for a reason. If you're writing fantasy you want your names to sound natural yet unlike anything your reader will seen before. Hence why I guess many names in fantasy novels (I'm thinking Song of

Any chance she could open source that? My friend's writing a fantasy novel and I think he could really use a realistic-sounding fake name or two.

I did see a TempleOSv2 account (or something similar) posting on a couple of occasions. Also dead. In the light of that I'd say it's more of a problem with the person than the account.

I looked at the images and my initial gut reaction was "aww, I can't be afraid of _that_!" even if I still find the idea scary. I think it's a very successful design.

I was actually thinking about the s&m angle just before I read your comment. I wonder if there's a similar debate raging on in the s&m community?

"...it starts currently as opt-in". Not a massive fan of that "currently". I don't own a smartphone and deleted my FB account years ago, but this still makes me squirm.

Lithium is indeed a forum community thing. My housemate works for them as a forum moderator for eBay. To the topic at hand, I'm not really sure whether the title of the blog post or its contents scare me more.

It's really interesting to compare and contrast the Cabal method and the idea of design by committee[1]. This must be one of the very few stories I've heard of where a committee with a rigidly defined structure actually succeeds a

This seems like a good option for most gists, but for parent's specific use case it would just say "Primary course". (This seems like more of a problem with the specific gist rather than with your idea.)

Fully agree, these were the same things that popped in my head when I saw it. Though I have to say autocomplete for !commands is an excellent addition.

You can still pass in callbacks to them. So if I got the parent's intent right, you've got: function bunchOfAsyncThings(callback) { var function1, function2; function1 = function (callback) { // do s

Ha! I was just about to say this reminds me of Kurt Vonnegut's Slapstick, where people get automatically assigned to an extended family. Then I clicked the link at the bottom.

Interesting idea, but could you elaborate on the practical side of this? Here's my take on this, in the form a ramble: Intellisense works really well for code because there's a finite set of, for instance, methods you can call on

This is excellent, a friend of mine based in London was specifically looking for a way to learn programming on the cheap. I've sent him the link. One thing - you should probably add a loads more prominent link to the foundersandcoders.

I've been a staunch Xubuntu user for the past couple of years and I'm completely pleased with my setup, but I'm interested in giving Gnome a try. The main thing that's holding me back is that my machines aren't mass

How did they get the domain name I wonder? I thought .cat was reserved for websites that promote the Catalan language and culture.

I read about Neovim on HN when the developer (Thiago de Arruda) was crowdfunding it to make it his full time job. I remember Bram had refused (ignored?) a few pull requests from Thiago, which is one of the reasons for Neovim. I was wonderin

Isn't this the case with Vim, too? Perhaps an amazing text editor is a project that's easily given to being a one-man-show. A single developer writing code and then thinking, "I need to make myself a better tool than this&quo
