I wouldn't buy anything from them but I think it's keeping in the spirit of the community.

That's also the equivalent of saying "a single line of source code identical to other source code is copyright infringement". Sometimes it is, sometimes it isn't. Sometimes there are limited ways to express obvious ideas, so I don't get h

You can open windows on the 35th floor of my apartment building here in NYC. It was built in the early 1900s, so perhaps it's related to architecture choices / liability issues which weren't around back then.

Definitely. I would have liked the test to be "would you be comfortable using this word in a sentence? (if you had to)" Even as a native speaker there are times when I know the definition of a word, but opt for a simpler word because I do

I think what he means is that you can actually design a site for your project and host it on Github. For example: http://mxcl.github.com/homebrew/ Are there any non-google sites that do this on google code? As far as I can tell, all of

Also, your API key may be at risk if you append it to a URL that you proxy. For instance, we're doing this proxying with Tumblr (sans API key, fortunately) and they occasionally issue a 302 redirect and tack on some parameters. (for cachin

If they wanted to be especially clever, when you muted/turned down the volume while a song was playing they would continue to advance the progress bar while not actually streaming the song, which might save them some royalty costs.

In Github's case, most of the projects there are libraries and the users are developers. The people who like Github probably expect the first thing they see when they show up to a project to be the code. And I'd wager that for many develo

The guy who actually started Gilt Groupe, Kevin Ryan, got his MBA at INSEAD. Not that it changes your point much.

If the real-estate sites really make it impossible to cancel, why not call your credit card company and get them to issue a chargeback?

The quickest and easiest thing to get you up and running might be a grid framework, like grid960 (960.gs) or blueprint (blueprintcss.org). Though off the top of my head, I can't think of a way that you could maintain your current layout but

When I used to work at LimeWire, Google would do the same thing to us. Not only did they sell adwords to the malware sites, they refused to allow us to buy adwords.

It would still be possible, from the javascript itself: if(document.location.host != "jquery.com") { document.location = "http://jquery.com"; }

While most Firefox extensions are in JS, I believe you can bind to native c++ as well.

I don't know anyone who suggests that there is a glass ceiling preventing women from taking advantage of nepotism. As I think about it a bit more, I disagree. Luck/hard work/getting noticed by definition really isn't about anything other

Or you could just start your own company and give yourself whatever c-level title you please.

I wonder how much of that is due to Heroku? Back in the day you'd either spin up a VPS or host it on a spare machine that was doing something else. Now you can throw as many projects as you want up on Heroku and they'll live forever.

When I choose a poll option I immediately get taken to a page with just an ad on it. Perhaps one of your advertiser's use of document.write is to blame?

Sure, but that just means that QA knew something about how the application worked that the developer didn't. In an ideal world the developer would be familiar enough with the product to write good tests. In the reality, TDD is good for ch

Somehow I think you'd get into a pretty big fight with the New York law schools. Not to mention how much it would suck to have taken on $100,000 in not-dischargeable-under-any-circumstances debt and then not be able to get a job because yo

The only problem is that someone can MITM your connection to the http page and send you back javascript that steals your password.

Bug trackers are often pretty terrible at promoting passive aggressive behavior as well, if you don't have good communication with the person on the other end. Reasons to close often look like: INVALID, DUPLICATE, WONTFIX, WORKSFORME.

Yes, you're absolutely right. I meant that in usage you generally either instantiate a plan object and use it as a hash or you instantiate an array and use it as an array, but when you instantiate an array, you can treat it like any other

No, it's about as unhelpful an answer as you can get. Why would you even bother? Would you answer him the same way in person if he came to a Haskell meetup?

Maybe I'm being to generous in reading it, but I took the original question as "I'm familiar with Node and the problems it solves. I'm interested in Haskell; can it solve those same problems?"
