While appreciate Zed's effort, I think he tried too hard to differentiate from Dive into Mark's one. I found the book mind numbing. It's Python the boring way, the first 70 pages are dedicated to displaying strings!

Programmers are a very different crowd, they will give you throwaway accounts to get past e-mail barriers. They will mark you as spam in Gmail, lowering your reputation. Don't push programmers stuff they don't want, let them reach you easil

Yes, unfortunately. HN lately is much more about entrepreneurship and startup PR than it is about crafting software. Not that it's bad, it's just that the ratio has gone out of hand. I question wether "Hacker News" is an appropriate name fo

I grew up in Mexico and I can see the logic behind this, I don't think it would work in practice: People usually give bribes when they've done something wrong, not when they are entitled to something. If a clerk asked me for a bribe in exch

The difference between this guy and most hackers is that hackers see programming as a method of building stuff . I'm pretty sure his day job must involve "engineering" in the sense of connecting code and applying best practices, but not to

Perhaps you ought to hone your reading skills: I'm speculating Microsoft considered it seriously enough to put it in code, not that it was a good idea.

The site has a commented out css file for Twitter's widget http://twitter.com/about/resources/widgets and its code in the minified js file, it seems they chickened out on displaying realtime tweets about IE9.

It fits Stack Overflow's Creative Commons license, it gives credit and states the license. Just plain legal content republishing, and Google being crappy (as usual).

Note that hsl is a breeze to set, but a pain in the ass to get. Browser engines convert it to rgb(a) and if you want to check if anything has, say, saturation 100% you must first convert back to hsl from rgb. To make matters worse, the hsl

The 'last snapshot as a splash screen' actually traces back to Jeff Raskin's work on the Canon Cat. It counts on the user trying to remember where he left off while the program loads, so by the time you think "aha, I was gonna send an e-mai

I'm willing to bet the author is either A) not a touch typist or B) Comes from Windows/Linux. It's not the author's fault, of course, but it has been around since 1984 and it's unlikely to change. The 'native' way to type commands on a Mac

Being too cocky about the experience and depth of knowledge I had at the time. I was a big fish in a small pond, and I outperformed my peers, but on once you go up the professional ladder you realize how little you know.
