   Agreed with the first part. Never heard of it, looks cool. As for the second, I disagree: https://wit.ai/docs

   That sounds pretty cool. I found C for Dummies at my uncle's house and got lucky. I loved it. I've always wondered what alternatives there are. Most of the college textbooks I had were too dense to get into, but I think I remember

   I wouldn't say they're the opposite of Markdown, but that's not really the point I was getting at anyway. The poster I was replying to was saying that two of his issues with using HTML to write documents were the verbosity an

   I haven't seen it used outside of Rails apps, but have you ever tried Slim? I understand there's a similar tool for Node.js called Jade. http://slim-lang.com/ table tr th Col1 Header! th Col2 H

   I'm definitely hoping that's not the case... I did have this "no wifi" experience happen once before with this phone on, I think, iOS 6, and I did the "Reset Network Settings" trick and it worked again. EDIT: A

   In a related but different issue, my iPhone 4S has not been able to connect to wifi since I upgraded to 8.0. 8.1 didn't fix it. It notified me of some patch today; I hope it works. I tried a few different tricks I found by Googling, li

   I don't understand what this means... Can you explain? Here's my basic understanding: MRI is a single process, with multiple threads... They can't run in parallel because of the global interpreter lock (which is used because

    Thanks, I went through the slides and then found this. Contrary to some of the other posters I actually found it kind of interesting. It sounds like this guy, at least, is thinking of a lot of the problems and questions me and my coworkers

    I was about to ask, "Anyone know the significance of the part-way filled red-links?" Did an inspect element/hover over the links and it shows the percentage that the site is blocked, which seems to be the same as the proporti

    FWIW, I really liked it. I thought it was pretty clear and comprehensible. Of course, that was like 10+ years ago now.

    When I was in school, we used something called μC++, developed by a research group there. It implemented coroutines, tasks, and monitors. http://plg.uwaterloo.ca/usystem/uC++.html

    After this past year with all of its vulnerabilities, I feel so uncomfortable when I really consider it. I make online payments at least a few times a week using my credit card. I log into my web based email multiple times per day. I feel s

    I do have an Air (same model as OP), and found that WASD didn't work.

    This is sort of the conclusion I was coming to. I am glad to hear someone else express it :)

    That was really cool. Thanks for the link. I liked the discussion of unicode/multilingual stuff (brief and inconclusive though it was). Basically it sounded like if a language has a steno solution then this could work for it. I liked t

    I've faced this problem in my own tests. I want to achieve total coverage so that I know that I've got all the cases covered, but then I end up testing the implementation rather than the contract. I'm not sure what to do abou

    Can anyone compare/contrast this with the book Secrets of the Javascript Ninja, by John Resig and Bear Bibeault? I've got a copy of that around that I've been meaning to read for a while.

    Interesting. I'll take a look to see what domain specific properties exist.

    I guess I just figure these two are sort of overlapping. If you use .jshintrc why do you need this tool? (The neat idea being: if a project has many languages, you can share code conventions for all of them in one place.)

    The idea seems very cool, but I wonder if there is anything like this that could have more language specific stuff like "in JS (or Ruby, or ...) format your hashes/object literals/arrays/constants/... like so."

    I don't think that's fair. What if he doesn't know how? He could propose a patch sure, but exploiting a code base may not require in-depth knowledge of it, while making a good patch to it is much more likely to. (I suppose in

    Thanks for the link. I'll probably end up watching this. I watched the Carmack talk as well. Small note, but some things that kind of annoy me: 1. Audio sync issues -- the mouths and the words don't line up. I may just download th
