> The whole idea behing LD is to improve and motivate yourself. There are no rewards. If you're cheating, you are not cheating anyone else but yourself. Yeah, maybe some nasty setup like that is not necessary at all. Just a big time

I guess it depends on the children and possibly on how well you can handle them. It's certainly pretty hard for our parent/child combination, I couldn't imagine spending even a full day alone with them, and my wife is always

I really didn't mean to say this only affects parents. Busy people (which definitely includes working college students) generally seem to have to make too many sacrifices to get 48 hours in a row off.

Based on what I've read, 7DFPS allows you to use the full 7 days for development, I could get about 12 hours of development in in that time span... The same goes for 1GAM, you have 30 full days for it in theory. I don't think peop

I'd rather be an understanding partner myself and not ask for this. We have two small kids though, I imagine it's manageable with just one.

One of these things parents typically don't get to do :( I'm pretty sure I'd join a "48 hours in 30 days" style LD, that could actually work for me. Is anyone aware of anything like that? edit: Just remembered that

While this is impressive, I find it surprisingly slow compared to much more demanding applications with bigger code bases compiled via Emscripten. Any ideas why?

C++98 with TR1 comes close enough, it's what I use for lack of C++11 compiler support. The funny thing is that "C++ as most people know it" is pretty far from "C++ as it was intended". Luckily, C++11 is nudging ever

You're right, it is generally desired, even Stroustrup (author of C++) doesn't want you to manually manage memory unless you really have to. That's why there are smart pointers and why you should work with values as much as y

That's a static page cache, not really the same thing. And I'm pretty sure they're doing this already, or are about to.

You're looking for a sales pitch for Scala? I can't provide that, but I'd argue that having the same language on two rather different platforms is pretty cool/useful in any case.

The opt out rate is below 5% right now - that's what the opt in rate would be, probably even a bit less. There's no way to get any site interested in improving their ads like this. It's definitely controversial, I wasn't

Oh wow, you're right, there've been some changes lately. Edited that above. Last time I checked it seemed pretty dead. I don't mind forks at all, that's why ABP is open source. Just thought it's a pity it was unmain

I work on Adblock Plus and would like to clarify some things: 1. Adblock Plus is fully open source, has always been, will always be. Everything else we do is open source too, including our infrastructure and backend systems. ( https:/&

I'd suggest a good book over Wikipedia articles, most math articles are particularly useless for learning stuff IMO. I learned quite a lot from "Mathematics and Physics for Programmers", although I wouldn't call it perfe

Here's a gotcha I find more interesting than strlen: Right shifting integers instead of dividing by powers of two, e.g: 1337 / 8; Becomes: 1337 >> 3; Compilers ought to figure that one out, shouldn't they? Well if 1337

I'd say Mozilla/Firefox somewhat counts. They acquired Netscape around 1998, and although they eventually ran Netscape itself into the ground AOL-style, they allowed the devs to work on Mozilla for quite some time. Long enough so

I love contributing to Mozilla. I contributed to a bunch of projects in the past years, including Chromium (a very friendly bunch BTW), but Mozilla makes me feel like I'm a real part of this, not just some guy sending a patch. - Litera

After 4 years of Git and 1 year of Mercurial, I like them roughly equally. I love cheap local branches, I also love MQ. They're just tools, I wish people could get over this kind of stuff. If this is really about getting more contribut

> Sure, but what is the opportunity cost of reading all of those posts No idea, I just do it for leisure. And frankly, I hardly read any TFAs posted to HN. I first read the headlines, if something seems interesting, I skip to the comment

I can see how HN is bad for the author's well being, but certainly not for mine. I don't feel bad about reading other people's success stories. I don't feel any need to switch languages/frameworks when reading about

I somewhat agree with TFA, but I think it fails to consider that there are (at least) two different types of open source project: 1. Rails, nginx and other stuff that is used by developers generally has a higher chance of getting useful con

That's certainly pushing it too far. His "I don't recall" crap (and the downright lying in the judge's face) in 1998 threw the web a decade back. And that's just one horrible thing of many he did to technology.

Sorry, but that's just wrong. To work with people in different time zones, you have to be truly asynchronous and somewhat spread out. To work with people with different cultures and native languages, you need to put some extra effort i
