Are you certain that a user's karma factors into comment sorting? It's clear that more recent comments will be sorted to the top (temporarily), but I definitely haven't gotten the impression that existing karma scores affect anything. I d

From the article: "The not-yet-available 27-in. iMac will continue to sport four external memory slots." Another source: http://www.macrumors.com/2012/10/23/21-5-imac-has-no-user-up...

Open to suggestions? Since we're using Scheme, it would be nice to have the hierarchy of parentheses rainbow-highlighted when you hover an expression with the mouse, much like what is done at http://wiki.call-cc.org/chicken-for-php-program

Not entirely related (though I think someone actually is working on a web framework for it): ObjFW [1][2] is an Objective-C framework and runtime that provides Cocoa-like classes and methods, but with more open-sourceness and portability. I

I would probably be thinking the same thing right now if all I knew about was mindless, addictive games like World of Warcraft, League of Legends, or Call of Duty. I fully agree that pouring hundreds of hours into games like that will "eat

Leading with self-deprecating self-reference doesn't make it any less harmful and slurred, just more subtle.

Pointing out a conflict of interest, by itself, is indeed an ad hominem. Whether someone has a conflict of interest or not has nothing to do with their argument being right or wrong. It only indicates that they might be willing to put forth

Ad hominem much? Anyway, the article doesn't rest on that quote by a long shot, it goes on in enormously satisfying detail. It's a humanizing lead-in, at best. I think this is a great summary of recent research on the effects of coffee and

One of the things provided by the CoffeeScript Redux project is source mapping, which enables line-to-line correspondences for debugging. https://github.com/michaelficarra/CoffeeScriptRedux http://ryanflorence.com/2012/coffeescript-sourc

TL;DR: Several high-profile Node.js developers seem not to have used CoffeeScript for any of their public projects (unless you count forks). In addition, some unspecified expert Node.js devs (perhaps the same ones, perhaps not) made an unsp

This would probably be more aptly named "Crash course in Python for C/C++ programmers". On that note, it reminds me a lot of http://wiki.call-cc.org/chicken-for-programmers-of-other-lan... I love the idea, and I think more of these need t

Common Lisp isn't the only option. There are other communities that are geared more towards practical development, with large and growing user and library bases. Aside from the obvious example of Clojure, I'm thinking specifically of Racket

Do your research if you're planning to soup up a Macbook with an OCZ SSD. Whichever party is to blame, they often don't play well together. Mine randomly freezes for up to 30 seconds every couple of days. Others have reported worse symptoms

I'm trying that now, but I think that would only have worked if it came back in stock. I think I had the bad luck to learn of this trick right as it sold out this time. I would be very mildly surprised if they stocked just as poorly this ti

I think the original ( https://github.com/jashkenas/coffee-script/wiki/List-of-lang... ) is preferable to a static page, since it's in a wiki format.

You can convert any Textmate/ST2 theme to Vim using this tool: http://coloration.sickill.net/ I've used it myself, it works great.

How does your WM work? I was under the impression that a true tiling WM was impossible on OS X, and that programs like Slate were the best compromise. Edit: Details please.

I am ordinarily a big fan of articles pushing back against established best practices, but only because despite the sometimes whiny tone, they almost always bring something new and thought-provoking to the conversation. This article does no

I don't think this is an entirely trivial case, either. If the Surface is meant to compete more directly in the mobile space alongside iOS and Android devices, an argument could be made that it should be advertising something close to user

Yes, I'm sure this lawyer ( cough ) is merely unsatisfied with the product he purchased.
