The author's ratio of hours played to price is very different from mine, and surely from those of many players. There's no real basis for his argument that I can see. We live in a world where lots of gamers routinely drop $80-$100

I can relate with the sentiments mentioned in the article re: disappearing nav bars. I often find that if I scroll upwards without intending to utilize the nav bar, its sudden appearance causes my eyes to dart to the top of the page, moment

There's an experimental web interface that's part of the project. I imagine that an ncurses interface could be built on top of the xiki API in some fashion, although I don't think that is really a use case that the creator ha

I've been psyched about this project since it was brought up a month or two ago in a discussion about tree viewers here on HN. Its pretty compelling, even if it may not integrate well into developers' workflows. Now I've just

The music was fine, not that big a deal. Altogether the video didn't blow my mind like the short screencast on xiki.org did, but that may be because my mind was already blown.

GNUStep's Objective-C framework makes it easy to port desktop apps written in Obj-C over to other systems, and includes newer features like ARC, so I wouldn't say Obj-C locks you into AppleLand at all, at least for desktop apps. F

That's an important corollary to the author's actual point, if you ask me. Sure you shouldn't make golden calves out of bad old code, but also don't be the guy that mercilessly hacks apart other people's code withou

I second this. His emacs/elisp docs have been exceedingly helpful for me in the past, certainly helpful enough to warrant a donation, regardless of any reputation for being difficult to work with.

Looks very cool, this is going on the list of libraries to play with!

To me, a large part of the value proposition behind angular is in a) making your app as declarative as possible and b) isolating resuable and imperative code in modules (directives or services in the parlance of angular).

This reminds me of _Count Zero_. The whole plot about a scientist leaving one corporate nation-state to work for another, and having to be extracted by a team of commandos so his old bosses don't kill him.

I dig it, I'm going to give the bookmarklet a go. I appreciate the keybinding of space bar to pause, thats a big pain in the tookas with RSVP apps, i find. Adding simple keybindings for increasing and decreasing speed on the fly would

Tmux has emacs-like bindings turned on by default, so don't be afraid. =)

The author supports his thesis by taking statistics which are adjusted for overall volume of google traffic, then de-adjusting them. That right there invalidates the results.

This one _blew my mind_ as a kid. I probably squealed with delight when I finished it.

I love how the author mentions Chromium in passing, without even suggesting the possibility that those who like Chrome can just use Chromium instead, and opt out of the so-called botnet of Chrome.

I think he's paraphrasing/summarizing. I like the idea, myself, kind of like an orchestrated BookCrossing. I'm a little too fond of most of my books (especially the hard to find ones) to lend them out to friends let alone str

Can someone tell me the key differences between the actor model and reactive/dataflow programming? I haven't seen any references to erlang in conversations about Reactive programming, which seems odd to me as erlang's lack of

Thanks for this. I cringed when I read "there was no underlying theory." That dog don't hunt.

To quote ESR, "Every good work of software starts by scratching a developer's personal itch." For me that truism underlies the passion that gets all good hackers into designing and implementing software. It's the very li

Did you notice the one with the passport on top of the open macbook at left? What an odd and obviously staged element... ...Almost as odd as the dual-monitor Emma Watson workstation.

Cheers to you, well said. As someone for whom SSRIs have helped mitigate serious OCD and MDD, I salute you. No drug is perfect, but the depth of suffering that millions of people would be subjected to without our modern pharmaceutical toolk

Aye, +1 for org mode. I too use org-mode extensively. Perhaps you should try using a combination of custom TODO capture templates, custom agenda views, and/or org-mode's built-in sparse tree generation to help filter through the n

My main gripe with this article is the clickbait title, in all caps. I personally disagree with the author's categorical dismissal of speed reading in the article, but that's neither here nor there. I just can't take articles

Very neat. Nice understated design and simple functionality. Probably a good project board for personal projects. Hopefully I'll be able to try it out if I ever get time to do some for-fun coding again =D

I subscribe to headspace, have been for about two months now. I find it extremely helpful. There are a wealth of different programs with different areas of focus, and about a years worth of content with daily use. I highly recommend it.

I find the A chord is more interesting - beginners always start playing it with three fingers, pros always use one. Similarly, the minor barre chord is one of those chords that - to me, as a mediocre beginner - always seemed tough to do unl

Angular's value proposition for the dev is that if you take time to learn its unusual idioms and opinions, it will pay off. Its a very opinionated framework which contains some concepts most web developers aren't terribly familiar
