Nice. I learnt about inotifywait only a couple of days back and chose it over bazillion other watch modules in various languages. In fact I think it could be called the "Poor man's auto-anything for any language" :-) For eg.

When I was in college, me and my project team mates used to go to this fabrication workshop for project work once per week. I was kind of a counter strike addict in those days. The workshop was inside an old building and at one particular s

+1. Also, being written in uppercase, it seems to be an abbreviation but I couldn't find a possible expansion on the site (Assuming the intended meaning is something other than Read-Eval-Print-Loop)

I can somewhat relate to the conversations in the article. While I admit that I don't think I used OOP correctly, since I started using more functions instead of classes (in Python, my primary language), I observed that it has been mor

Fair enough, but why not render the content along with the page for the first time instead of showing nothing for a few seconds?

Heads up - On every blog post it seems to be showing the same figure for "x other readers are here" which is misleading.

Wow! This is exactly what I needed. And it also reminds me that my Emacs config desperately needs a refactor. Today seems to be a good time to do it :-) Thanks for sharing! (and of course, for writing it too in case you are also the author)

I clone repos very often to browse the files in my editor so I didn't like the change initially (and I still don't like it very much) but then after getting used to it I felt that the clone-download section could be positioned abo

As the other reply points out, Quack indents exactly like DrRacket but your other reasons for sticking with DrRacket are totally valid. My primary motivation to move to emacs is that I find myself doing too much of "C-x o" in DrRacket!

What do you mean by "DrRacket indents better"? (Genuine question :-) and not to start a war between emacs and DrRacket) Just this week I made the switch from MIT/GNU Scheme to Racket for solving SICP exercises. Have been using DrRacket but

It's very tempting. Frankly, I had enrolled for the course mainly for functional programming and not Scala but towards the end I started liking it. But, at the moment my main languages at work are Python, Erlang and Javascript and I still h

Author here. I completely agree with you. Could have known all this before had I just read the itertools docs beyond permutations and combinations. It was only after using Scala's groupby while solving an assignment problem that I thought

Yes, it's different from the money-green association. I wonder what made me think it was normal and everyone else thought this way too!

Whoa! I think I may be having a weaker version of the same type of synesthesia that you have described. I tend to "imagine" colours when I think of certain letters, numbers, days or months. I don't feel this way for each one of them though.

+1 for using backbone models/collections for message/messages. I have been working a lot with XMPP and Strophe.js lately. Will definitely give it a try.
