I love this, but it's an awful lot of complexity to print '9' to stdout. The first time I ran it through a python interpreter, I thought I made a mistake.

My issue with rails is one of tone. There's something very off putting about the use of the word "evangelist" in the rails community. Everyone I've spoken to who uses rails gets this far-away, misty-eyed look when they talk about the fram

I have no idea if this works as advertised, but those are some impressive looking metrics. http://munin.ping.uio.no/ping.uio.no/vodka.ping.uio.no.html Think I'm going to try installing this. I've got homegrown scripts to monitor a lot of

I used to work for a small boutique testing/QA shop. They took this approach with almost all their internal documents. In order to get people to actually read and absorb new documents and/or presentations, they would deliberately salt the

It's confusing, at best, to view yourself in opposition to another human being. You've had an account on here for 369 days and still are comfortable viewing yourself in terms of what you're not. I'm NOT Rupert Murdoch --- 'cause he SUCKS!

Thanks, but you'll understand if I choose not to take my advice from someone who misappropriates Richard Stallman's initials as his user id. Looks like Linus is available. Any takers? http://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=linus

I was attempting to point out that this post has all the qualities of spam. It's vague, it uses symbol repitition ($$$), non-standard abbreviations (opp), and seems like a scam.

We're offering this $$$ opp, sell vi@gr@ from home!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Seriously, why is this on the front page? I hate down arrows, but this post makes me desperately wish I had the option.

Do you run ColdFusion on the server side? If not, what are you using on the backend?

Ok, I stand corrected. If spez did it, it's legit. Kudos.

Ok, I'll be the first person to admit I'm an idiot, but this stack trace doesn't make any sense. First, how am I to know this is actually from reddit.com? It's an image, so I can't grep through the trace. Additionally, it looks to me lik

The original question aside (for the record, I'd find it interesting as well), does anyone else think this comment thread is kinda nasty? Ugh.

Yep, I know what you mean. I've got the O'Reilly "Learning Python" book, but I'd love something that covered soup to nuts. Start with a python interpreter, suggest and IDE (EasyEclipse for LAMP?) and get me to Django. Maybe I'm being lazy

I got proficient at the scrape method after about a week. Generally, this method involves more luck than skill and can take anywhere from 30 seconds to 15 mins to pick a lock. The pin-at-a-time method is much more difficult. I'm still no

I've heard that about auto jigglers only working on older model cars. The set I have advertises that they work on both foreign and domestic. I think my camry is a 2002. Anything post 2000 is a dicey proposition. And obviously, they won'

I wonder if lock bumping really works. I've also got a set of Auto Jigglers (btw, the police get really pissed if you have these things, so don't carry them around in public), but they don't work at all. At least, I've had no success star

Maybe restrict users below a certain karma to X number of upvotes per day? That way, you need to consider carefully which stories you upvote. Comment upvotes could stay infinite.

by ghiotion 19y ago
Karma is variable, no? As the site gets more traffic, karma points will start to go up over the board. A rising tide lifts all boats, so to speak. 7 may be a good threshold now, but will it be in 6 months?

The downarrow is a good idea, until you start to consider the cabal of greasmonkey jerks auto-downvoting everything on the new page that wasn't submitted by one of their cretin brethren. Perhaps there could be some kind of difficulty weigh
