No offense, but I don't think the post was direct towards you. It's like when Smashing Magazine puts out "here's how you write a 5-line JavaScript" function. The post is obviously directed towards designers with little programming knowledge

I instinctively cringe whenever I see an odd looking 'rm' command.

Checks out fine with 3.5.3 on WinXP, but I'd point the finger at that poorly-formatted HTML.

I'd say it has to do more with the use of the pipe character on the command line than the typography angle of it, but I could be wrong.

Borlaug had no problem with people buying organic (e.g., "Let them buy it. Let them pay a bit more. It's a free society."). His issue was that first-world people shouldn't completely abandon the advancement of genetically-modified food as i

Programming isn't that hard? Writing code is easy, writing good code is hard, otherwise more people would do it, right?

It's up for me now. Looking forward to reading the book, Peter.

Good catch--I edited it to correct the wrongness. Fingers going faster than the brain on a Friday morning...

Different strokes for different folks, my man. The business-oriented people can read Founders, the technical-minded people can read can read Coders, and then the intersection of the two can read both! I personally find the idea of this book

Fonts can be embedded into PDFs, if I remember correctly. Most PDF creators handle this for you automatically by default.

Thanks for the response. That does make sense.

I read through the code, but I don't really know Ruby that well, so I'm not 100% sure of what the exploit was. Looking at the patch, it appears that their "check for UTF-8" function wasn't perfect. Is this correct? If so, how is this exploi

All PDFs that are linked to on HN link directly to the PDF, as well as to scribd. The title is linked to the former, the "[scribd]" is linked to the latter.

Just pre-ordered my copy. I'm really hoping that the content meets a certain level of technicality. The fact that it is written by Peter Seiblel and the interview previews on each one seems to indicate that it will be. I'm looking forward t

Defense contractors and other high-critical systems (think airplanes, space shuttles, missile command) would gladly pay for and accept that level of complexity.

Completely tangential, but how did you get into consulting? I'm also in my 20s, in a tech-heavy area (RTP, NC), and have been considering doing something like that on the side, but have no good idea where to start.

It's not only the net total of the amount of money in the market, but also its movement. If everyone had a million in the bank, but no one was spending, the economy would suffer.

I don't think he was focusing on performance. Bill Buzbee, of homebrewcpu.com, built his the same way, with wire-wrapped TTLs. He did it because he wanted "touch the magic" of those early machines. I imagine there is something very satisfyi

I disagree with your point about the performance issues. I've had increasing issues with Flash video stuttering (audio stays fine, but video freezes momentarily until it "catches up") on Firefox. I recently switched to Opera and these issue
