You don't have a problem with one of the most trafficked sites for programming/web startup-related news implementing HTTP incorrectly? Do you ignore whether your HTML is valid just because the browser rendered it correctly?

Desktop Linux users are flocking to a distro that looks like an uglier version of Windows 2000? "Tonight we're gonna GUI like it's 1999!" I guess if they had any aesthetic sense, they'd probably be switching to OS X...

Looks like it uses a kernel interaction of some sort to implement memory barriers in software (whereas Vega provided hardware memory barriers): http://www.azulsystems.com/products/zing/c4-java-garbage-col...

Even if all your databases are running at LUDICROUS SPEED thanks to SSDs, his argument is still irrelevant. That same LUDICROUS SPEED can be applied to technologies which can be used to mitigate the computational times of slower languages (

Please don't take what Cringely has to say as an accurate barometer of the Ruby community. While I'll freely admit that Rails (and web applications in general) is an enormous part of what people are using Ruby for, it's used for many non-we

This article conflates "dynamic typing" with "weak typing" all over the place. First he whines that type declarations aren't mandatory (at least within the scope of what a type inferencer can resolve), claims the runtime won't be able to de

Zed had two parsers: a server parser as part of Mongrel and a client parser as part of RFuzz. I actually used the client parser from RFuzz in my Rev/Cool.io libraries. I talked to Zed about his plans for these, he wanted to do a unified par

Here's the new one I'm working on: https://github.com/tarcieri/http httparty does a few of the same tricks, but I still find its API a bit obtrusive. At least it automatically parses JSON! (my library does this too, if an appropriate libr

If I try to ask for a large number (say 1 million) I run out of RAM: $ node app.js FATAL ERROR: CALL_AND_RETRY_2 Allocation failed - process out of memory Somehow you're using O(n) RAM to do the calculation. Seems bad bro. This co

Fibonacci isn't a kind of problem that should be bounded on RAM though. Something is fundamentally broken with the way this is implemented.

It's τ/2. The area of a circle is τr²/2. You may be familiar with the idea of x²/2 from calculus: it's an integral, which can be used to compute areas.

The section of the Tau Manifesto on the area of the circle (which the author describes as pi's coup de grace) was the one that convinced me tau makes more sense.
