Whoa, hold the phone: List of animals in The Simpsons is notable but Nemerle isn't? How does that remotely make sense? The man hours undoubtedly expended in maintaining that list boggle my mind.

The one thing that has always blown my mind on Wikipedia is that they have "votes" all the time where people edit in their opinion, but then a decision is made which may or may not take the votes into account. They're actually pretty clear

Missed the amusing ? Nobody would rightfully assume that storage is the problem. I know how much storage costs. The commenter I'm quoting wrote that tongue-in-cheek, and I thought I had given enough of a hint there that I was repeating it

This betrays a bit of a self-confidence issue on the part of the author, as does http://blog.carolynworks.com/?p=537 (more revealingly). It also plays like a specific issue trying to be painted into a gender issue, which it really isn't.

I wasn't pointing fingers at you in this, as I said - I was responding to the question directed at Paul. Now, I'll respond to you. I thought this privately, but your comment kind of pushed me over: I'm not sure if it's intentional, so I apo

I can see the other side. YC's requirements are not a surprise (and are quickly Googleable). If Jon's cofounders weren't on board with YC's requirements (namely, moving to San Francisco), that's something he should have been aware of before

Near the end of the post, they responded to this: > Well, first off, it's supposed to be fun. If you don't see the joy in either of these puzzles, please don't apply. If you don't consider implementing something like tgrep fun, you're i

With respect to the author, the conclusion here is very flawed. If you search for Bing in Google, you get Bing all over page 1. If you search for Google in Bing, you get Google all over page 1. That's not the result of Google capturing clic

For a site that -- at least on the Web site -- does not wish to be compared to TechCrunch (as evidenced by the footer text), why even include the footer reference to TechCrunch? I get that was the stated goal here, but that footer is confus

It isn't running out. It is out. I edited out over and replaced it with depleted to satisfy the concern about the headline, but I didn't even like doing that. The cavalier attitude that "nothing is really wrong, keep doing what we're
