This is interesting but is there proof that these bitcoins have been seized? Is it related to Silk Road being shut down? I feel like I missed something. Also it looks like there is a typo in the title, the linked site says that the transf

It's entertaining to me that the google code repo created for the purpose of cloning Stack Exchange "in a weekend"[1] contains nothing. The 3 issues are kind of funny as well. http://code.google.com/p/hac

v starts standard visual(region selection) mode. Shift-v starts line-by-line visual mode. Ctrl-v starts visual column mode(which is both very cool and very useful)

file: doesn't appear to be a documented command, while filetype is [1] Searching for a few random queries with either "file:pdf" or "filetype:pdf" shows that both return pdfs, but the results that I get are differen

I swear by tabbar[1] as well as a few bindings to make switching between buffers faster. Specifically: map <C-n> :bn<Cr> map <C-p> :bp<Cr> It probably helps that I've mapped caps-lock to ctrl so using ctrl is v

I was about to make a snarky comment about how the site should include a box on browser compatibility but I refreshed the page and it was fixed! It's a fun site, worth checking out :)

On US television it's very common to hear something along the lines of "You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to an attorney. If you cannot aff

Bezos bought The Post, but actually didn't acquire wapolabs or a few other assets owned by The Post. (Not that it's hugely relevant here, but I feel obligated to mention that I'm an AWS employee)

As a huge Python fan, comments like this(and many others) have made me want to check out Lua. Is there a canonical Lua introduction out there? I'd love to give it a try.

I've been doing the exact same thing, and I empathize with you. I'm still just wary of comments like this because I could imagine them taking over otherwise useful tech discussions. Honestly it's frustrating to me that a met

As far as I know lobsters is invite only. From what I understand it's a forum I'd enjoy though. I'd love an invite if you happen to have one. Contact info in my profile.

I'm conflicted on this comment. On the one hand, I agree with your yay #2(and your yay#1, of course. TextBlob looks great). I think you're right. I have many venues to discuss NSA issues and few venues to discuss startup/p

This looks great! NLTK is incredible but definitely can be a bit intimidating. Very cool to have a wrapper around it. I'm curious to see exactly how it works and so I'll certainly check out the source when I have a bit more time

I'm not interested in googling "guinea worm" after this post, but I have no idea how this relates to the topic.

To be fair this answer currently has 591 upvotes and 1 downvote, and the question has 0 close votes. It's not exactly in danger of disappearing because of the obnoxious pedantry of one user.

It might be funny but I can't imagine that shaming engineers like that would be very productive. Anyone talented enough to be working at a place like Google is likely going to be plenty embarrassed without a "wall of shame"

Acting shady hurts your brand. Harry Brignull(the author) discusses this in a talk[1] that I found on the dark patterns website(I checked out the website after loving the article). He makes the argument that sure, many of these tactics migh

I thought the same thing until I got to the part where the author used from math import * Which gives you significantly more options. I love this idea, I have always found math in the command line to be clunky.

But many of the things the author lists are not as basic as using a steering wheel. Why in the world would an average user need to care about when "www" should be in a url? Or even need to know when the term "download&quot

Fair enough. I guess I'm just wary of articles like these because I think that nerds like me(and I'm assuming the author) have the tendency to put computers on this pedestal because we use them a lot and really really like them.

I'm split on this article. On the one hand, I empathize with the author. It can be very frustrating dealing with non-technical friends/family who use computers all the time and are seemingly incapable of doing the most basic thi

This is probably a really dumb question, but can you explain what a "chocolate-in-my-peanut-butter moment" is? I've never heard a phrase like that. OT this is awesome. Congrats to both parties, obviously a great choice.

Nate's work was practically the definition of "disruptive" when he started and it's been a joy to follow him over the years. As far as papers go I happen to like the NY Times, so I'm a bit sad to see him go. But I

I do it fairly often depending on the topic. There are topics for which I am more interested in the discussion than in the actual article. For an article like this I'm split. I'm a passionate programmer and would love to read a
