Glad you liked the post! Functional programming is an amazing tool, but I found it super hard to program real world applications. Object oriented programming is much more useful for that, because it represents more effectively the world tha

Side projects! They maintain the little spark inside me. Concidentally, yesterday I wrote a piece about motivation and side projects, maybe you can get some ideas: http://cfenollosa.com/blog/you-only-do-it-when-nobody-e

I wish you could get some feedback from you on this topic. A mix of impostor syndrome [1] and trying to be comfortable at your job end up consuming you. For me, side projects helped awake the "hacker" spirit in me, or plainly, chi

I honestly don't think so. There is a lot of value on Reddit, but I bet that 90% of the visits and content are basically memes and imgur pictures. The part that could "become Quora" may die without the other.

This is so exciting! I never got to write my own boot sector in college, our lab exercises were kind of advanced and we had a lot of starting code. That document inspired me to create a Github repo with only the code, split into micro lesso

I find it interesting from an EU perspective, since the Spanish media and government are following the path started by France a year ago [1] and more countries could jump on the bandwagon [1]: http://www.reuters.com/article&

Despite the amount of similarly titled articles that appear on HN weekly, this one is really, really good. Don't miss out on it.

I second that. Flash does not work well for me, a fully functional HTML5 version would totally get my money.

I agree in that a shell script is not the best platform for a blogging engine. However, 1. It has literally zero dependencies (other from bash, of course) which is kind of the goal of bashblog 2. If you examine the code you will notice it&#

werc is great, I have used it for websites and works wonderfully. bashblog is focused on blogs, and doesn't use templates (though they can be hacked in easily, I do so on my personal page)

You are right, the ideas are very similar, though the approach is quite different. Actually, I tried nanoblogger before writing bashblog, and I found its design a bit old-fashioned and too configurable for my needs. It just looks like a Mov

If you watch the video you can see that the RSS code is used to receive RSS feeds (I guess for those people who don't have internet access) and the Twitter auth is used similarly to receive Twitter updates (e.g. they show :twittersearc

Well, one could always take a picture of the screen. I guess that, once an image is displayed, it can always be captured by some means.
