   Sure, but on most sites that have a "karma" type of system, it doesn't serve as that great of a measure of how you're contributing to the community - it serves as a measure of how much the community agrees with your opinions. I mean if eve

   I think this looks really promising - I personally found learning to work with ASDF to be one of the more challenging aspects of working with Common Lisp.

   I'd recommend learning your way around both vim and emacs. I'm primarily an emacs user myself, but vim comes in very handy once in a while. You can edit code in an extremely productive manner in either editor, but you will be able to (prett

   I can not imagine writing a headline like that for a resume. I would feel utterly ridiculous, like I was writing an upsell for some crappy sold-by-infomercial product.

   To be fair, you should probably take everything anybody says with a grain of salt.

   It's too bad issues 1-71 aren't available. I was really interested in comparing the content from the earliest ones with the latest ones.

   I would think that it would have a meaning analogous to "grow a set of balls, because you're about to need them".

    I had a bit of trouble with it at first, until I realized that I was supposed to be pulling it apart and making it bend to my every editing whim. The combination of keyboard-focused editing, on-the-fly extensibility, and decently thorough a

    I'm fairly certain that INTP is more the norm when looking at the set of people who would be interested in HN. (Well, obviously. I mean that the stereotypical programmer / hacker-in-the-classical-sense seems like they'd fall close to INTP)

    Indeed. I live in a house with a few other people, and we make music a lot. I'll play the drums for a bit, and guitar for a bit, and when we're done I can generally be much more productive coding than I would have been if I had just sat dow

    As far as I can tell, the convoluted and cumbersome parts of AJAX spawn from two directions: Differences in browser implementation (so we have some boilerplate to figure out what we actually need to do to make an XMLHTTPRequest) - which is

    I like that we live in a time where it is getting easier for people to make their living doing what they love. Personally, I think it's pretty obvious that we haven't been able to practically accomplish this for very long, and there are a l
