Was the link on /newest or on the front page? I think it would be helpful if usernames on the new page appeared in green not when they were created within the last week, but when they had never submitted a link that was subsequently upvoted

It's a non-linear function of age, points, flags and perhaps other factors too. But the source is definitive, yes.

Care to tell us what that way is? Bit rude of you to link to that without warning. (The natural assumption is that the link is to an explanation/discussion of this problem, not an instance of it.)

(Repost from original thread.) Tax legislation is the domain of national parliaments, not the EU (except for aspects of VAT, anything else?). Tax harmonisation requires a treaty change and agreement from all 27 member states. On unfriendly

Possibly, although as far as traditional unix shells are concerned, they're the same thing.

The author confuses a terminal with a shell running in a terminal. I'd like for my terminal to be able to open a stream of html in my web browser. Use case: running `man blahblah` in a ssh session opens a nicely formatted page in a local br

Can you do a proper blog post on this, with screengrabs, and then post that? The results page I'm getting has one ad, but no "McAfee Secure" link (top right or anywhere else).

Some sites I use detect AdBlock, and either ask for me to switch it off or to give them a donation. I've always assumed they detect it by noticing that a function defined in the ad-serving js is not present in the page.

I don't check how long an article is before I start reading it, but if it goes on for too long without getting anywhere I'll stop.

No, bash is not a monad. Really. This sort of article tends to obscure more than it illuminates. Bash runs the commands of a pipeline in parallel, so you don't get the sequencing of side-effects that monads provide. You'd better off saying
