This would be amazing if it weren't for the theme switcher and text at the bottom.

It would be nice if it saved all the things I upvoted. Other than that, this site has been added to my daily (hourly?) routine.

I guess it's just the drive of being the strongest, or the richest, or whatever the goal of the game is. It's pretty satisfying to see your name on some sort of leaderboard. The text based nature doesn't bother a lot of people even now. The

I used to make these types of games all the time when I was younger, and they're still pretty popular. I guess it all started with A3 http://alienaa.com and some space trading game I forget the name of. They were probably just a natural e

It seems to work well, but the design and layout could use some work. Some parts seem lifted right from Reader, while others seem like they were stuck in as an afterthought, like the article content being underneath the article list. Some t

I came in expecting to suggest Io, but it looks like somebody picked it. Seems like the people in your course have a genuine interest in programming, the same can't be said about most of the people in my courses. Try something like K, a ver

Even after reading the whole thing I still couldn't figure out how Jack used the rope to escape from the tower.

There's rush: "rush is a replacement for the unix shell (bash, zsh, etc) which uses pure Ruby syntax" from http://rush.heroku.com I haven't used it though, I actually switched from bash to fish about 6 months ago

Lately I've been using Textadept - http://caladbolg.net/luadoc/textadept2/manual/1_Introduction... - and I like it a lot. It's a lot like vi in that most menu items have a key sequence, you can split buffers, but everything is in GTK. It'

The script hangs and freezes in my browser, even on the tutorial page. I get the wait/stop script prompt every time I reload it. I'm using Firefox 3/Ubuntu.

I use jQuery. I only briefly checked out prototype before I found jQuery, and I don't remember anything about it. Like most of us, I got tired of using the same thing over and over so I checked out MooTools and didn't like that it had all s

The fact that people are following you means you have an intended (but debatably attentive) audience.

Did teachers in the 1950's feel the same way about Caulfield as teachers feel now about Potter? I'm sure they did, and I'm just as sure that in 2050 Potter will be just as dated children will have just as much trouble relating.

Why is everyone jumping on this as a negative? Goto isn't inherently evil. Of course in most cases there is a construct that would be a better fit than goto, but it does have its uses. As far as readability goes, odds are a programmer isn't

People can actually jam debatably useful things in the tweet limit. If not useful, amusing. Check out http://twitto.org - a PHP framework that fits in a tweet.

I actually preferred CakePHP to CodeIgniter, and really only on the basis of aesthetics. I don't like This_Case :( I was going to say Catalyst, but Mojo looks way cooler. If I were you I'd give it a try

The take on web 3.0 is interesting, at least it's not full of crazy shit like the people who talk about the internet becoming the operating system and localized storage becoming completely useless

Cool, a blog post linking to a blog post. Even then it has nothing to do with programming a Twitter client, it's about how to use NetNewsWire to read tweets, which is at least kind of cool I guess

How would they? The main reason I use RSS is so I can see the whole article, not a Twitter-sized blurb of the article. That feed actually seems a lot like HN and Reddit, where it aggregates headlines and links, and provides comments.

Why is it that people hate active whitespace? I think it's great that the parser can detect where blocks end just by maintaining a nice code structure. I guess people are just against it on principle? Just in edge cases where indenting woul
