   Pandoc has almost all these features: http://johnmacfarlane.net/pandoc/ I think it's lacking the #include/#input feature, and I'm not sure whether it supports labels and internal references, but apparent

   I loved that. But I fear a blog post can't do justice to Pausch's excellent delivery.

   I love this speech so much I wrote an italian translation for my blog. Which other speeches in science do you think are worth a translation?

   This is tangentially related, but here is less OT than in most discussions :) I'm currently building http://www.bandol.it , a Humble Bundle clone targeted at Italian Independent Music (and, maybe, books). I'm experienci

   There seems to be a tiny bit of difference in Ruby too. This code: require 'benchmark' def random_string(length) result = (1..length).map { (65+rand(26)).chr }.join result[rand(length)] = rand(10).to_s if rand > 0

   It's from "Monads and Gonads", a talk delivered at YUIConf 2012. Here it is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=d...

    This is in fact the consequence of a fact first proven by Euler: every even perfect number is of the form (2^(p-1)) * (2^p - 1) where 2^p - 1 is a prime. That is, it's p ones shifted left by p-1 zeroes.

    I can report that the Parse course is now correctly working. Thank you! I'll check tomorrow if I'm still having issues with Twilio. I also got my provision rejected from Sendgrid, but I'm trying to solve this on my own. EDIT: Solved! Than

    I'm a fairly fanatical Codecademy user, so this is not news to me: I've been testing these courses since at least two weeks :) Unfortunately this means I'm having all sorts of data integrity issues: for example, I can't access the third les

    This is a very serious blunder on my part! That's an important resolution to support.

    MS_BTW_UPD (which stands for "Milliseconds between updates") was changed to 18. Thank you for your feedback!

    I agree: it's barely usable as it is. I hacked it this very night, and those were the best controls I was able to build. Thank you for playing and for the critique!

    NestaCMS got my vote, because it's what I use for my blog. Is it really a static site generator, though? It can be used as one, I guess, but I think of it as a dyamic Sinatra app.

    Unfortunately not available to italian customers, who'd have to purchase it at 19 euros (23 dollars). Is there a legal workaround?

    I am interested. I am a beginner in several languages (Ruby, Python, JavaScript, C) but I've never written serious software in any of these.

    I really loved this! I liked the fact that I could read other people solutions. Is there an equivalent for Python, or any other language?

    >Aside from the article itself, I am confused by the title. Are they meaning to call themselves a "design legend"? I think they are calling Mike Kus a design legend, who taught them these six lessons.
