It's probably worth $119 to demonstrate to potential hires the pride they take in their code. Unless a site is post-processing their code like Google does, I would expect it to be beautiful.

Someday the iPad developers will realize that users want to access their content from several different applications in a compatible, centrally accessible manner. They will want to combine a picture from Hipstamatic with a song from iTunes

Arguing with the faceless Apple executives via the internet is wishful thinking, whether you succeed or not. Also, you don't downvote comments because you consider them wrong or refuted, you downvote because a comment was not beneficial to

This isn't really a refutation of what he said. If enough of the proverbial sharecroppers complain, it MAY be worth it for Apple to improve conditions. You are still at their mercy, however. Also, it's ridiculous that people are voting raga

Why is GHC doing thread scheduling?

No, I don't believe Haskell has first class continuations.

How about if the first line begins with a '>', the paragraph that follows is not included in the body. Example 1: >I actually want a subject This is my message Example 2: This is my first paragraph (and subject). This is my second p

Why? Is there something special about using 555's that I don't know about? A 2 bit full adder is a really simple circuit...

CLiki is usually pretty outdated and incomplete. These are probably the best resources for a new CL programmer (in no particular order) http://common-lisp.net/ http://www.gigamonkeys.com/book/ http://www.lispworks.com/documentation/Hyp

Virtualbox (I tried with the latest as of late January) would not run Skype for me. VMware worked immediately.

I apologize for the confusion, but that still doesn't change much. See these papers on Nemerle: http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/events/sscli2005/pachols... http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/um/people/moskal/pdf/msc...

That statement is false. Take Factor for example. It has been hosted at several conferences, has an active community of users, and has an academic paper published in ACM. http://factorcode.org/littledan/dls.pdf Perhaps what you meant to s

webOS is already very open. It's basically a linux kernel with a few binary drivers for the radios, and there really isn't a need to hack on those.

Weird, the Pre2 hasn't even hit a major carrier and they are going to Pre3. Also, awesome.

I'm predicting an HP-Palm/Nokia combined effort. HP and Nokia already collaborate, and webOS is the closest Nokia will get to an existing "ecosystem" that they could thrive in. Palm has crappy hardware, and awesome software. Nokia has excel

Has your reading of HN directly resulted in a measurable profit for yourself or others in a commonly accepted currency, such as USD or Euro? If not, then it is leisure, not business.

by oconnore 16y ago
No you don't. You made this post to feel pompous and self important. There is almost nothing serious or business related about reading hacker news (although in general it is good, rewarding, and fun to stay up to date). It is entertainment,

You should submit a bug report.

Yes, I understand that. You can configure the system tray to hide icons from specific programs. That way you have every icon except for Opera. The program need not include an option to hide it. Right click > Properties

by oconnore 16y ago
Every OS I have ever used has a way to hide system tray icons. Windows has had this since 98, both Gnome and KDE have it, and OSX has it. What is the problem exactly? And how are you so annoyed by a 16x16 pixel red O? Please never try to dr

Those two things are not equivalent at all. I don't think you understand what you are talking about. S-expressions define a class of syntax styles. By themselves, they have no semantic characteristics at all. Macro's are a way in which the

cageface missed the major reason why Lisp in general is powerful: prefix notation is really the only clean way to implement macros. The rest is just icing on the cake.

Privacy isn't about doing things wrong and getting away with them. If that's your rhetoric, why should my wife not have every right to catch me cheating? Privacy must be a terrible thing only useful to terrorists and adulterers, right? Just

I don't think there is anything simple about learning PHP to find a few blog comments, or learning to use a 3rd party DOM parser when you are already familiar with tools that apparently work for this one-off application.
