Polos can go to hell. I usually wear nice jeans and a black t-shirt to work (but then, the CEO appears to be wearing bright orange shorts), but if somebody said tomorrow "jdpage, we need you to dress a little more professionally",

While I like this (for reasons that others have already mentioned), the lack of an italic version is a bit of a killer for me, along with the lack of full latin-1 support. If you haven't seen it yet, Fantasque Sans Mono (formerly Cosmi

It doesn't, because of the finite number of entries. The scheme classifies sequences by an arbitrarily-large, but finite, prefix.

Ooh, I'm seeing some non-ASCII characters here. How are you handling that? Can I use => instead of ⇨ and <- instead of ←? How do you usually type those? Is there a way of ASCII-ifying or de-ASCII-ifying source files?

I realize that you were highlighting some specific, well-known examples, but I'm finding it pretty funny that you could have just said "the nth root of any integer", which encompasses all of the numbers and sets you mentioned

The separate Messaging app currently has stickers, I don't see why they'd remove them. And yes, the Pusheen emoticons are the best.

At time of writing there are three links to tarsnap.com on the front page: this one, scrypt, and spiped. I think that means that you win HN, sir. It's been a good run everyone, time to wind things down.

Sorry. That's actually the original (and still an acceptable) spelling, and I rather prefer it. English doesn't really have enough vowels, so distinguishing between `e' and `œ' makes sense, orthographically. I also tend

On thy own heads be it. Here is the code, as written when I was 16. You'll need Tcl 8.5 to run it (8.3 is probably fine, but you'll have to change the line at the beginning), because all the cool kids implement interpreted languag

Yes, but there is a point at which it's better to just hand-write some code which is equivalent to the automaton, rather than trying to use a regexp. This is what a proper email-validation regexp looks like: http://www.ex-pa
