Would you let it dry naturally? Or do you have any tips for accelerating the drying process?

Hmm, info? Also, it's been about two days since the spill. Would it be harmful to wait for these chemicals to arrive, rather than cleaning right -now-?

So basically: a completely inaccurate statement.

Considering this is completely about graphics, the parent comment is totally valid.

Speaking of SBCL, I really wish someone would make SBCL stable on Windows. Please. (Windows XP, Vista, and 7. Don't even worry about 64-bit right now, just get 32-bit fully functional and stable.)

Yes.

In practice, not really. People just ignore what they don't use.

I don't believe there is hardware acceleration for the iPad.

Any high school senior who self-describes as a "pretty badass dev and designer" desperately needs more education. And what if he is a pretty badass dev and designer?

Actually, I didn't know.

Okay, then it was to pad the js file to 1024 bytes, because 1024 bytes is more interesting than 1014 bytes.

Probably because he wanted to keep 1-letter variable names, and 1024 is more interesting than 1022.

I was about to give up and call it "boring" until I read this comment!

How about accepting the apparent fact that we are completely alone, instead of trying to satiate our immense egos with fantasies about why someone else would possibly want to ignore something so important as the human race?

Yeah, check 'em out: http://www.amillionpixels.us/sourcecode.htm There are surprisingly many useful snippets. For example, a single header and source file for an entire, complete A* pathfinding implementation! That's a massive timesave

[Schmidt] predicts, apparently seriously, that every young person one day will be entitled automatically to change his or her name on reaching adulthood in order to disown youthful hijinks stored on their friends’ social media sites. Does

.... Something is obviously being lost in translation here. There are certain programming problems which can be solved once and used forever. The problem wouldn't necessarily be considered a single function. However, it isn't a massive pr

I think any action taken today is unlikely to preserve resources 500 years from now. You'd have to start some sort of monastery devoted to hoarding helium. (This is harder than it sounds. Helium diffuses through metal tanks.) Okay, I godd

I'd say having a firm grip on reality can only make you a better programmer.

by palish 16y ago
The whole reason to even list any programming truths is because they would make you a better and faster programmer.

Ah. This is a pretty interesting discussion, I think, so let's try to figure it out. One of my points -- disregarding whether the concept of quoting a price is good or not -- is that there isn't anything fundamentally wrong about this form

No. As soon as your function has a dependency on anything else whatsoever, it can no longer be copy-and-pasted into another project A snippet consists of functions which accomplish a specific task. The important part is that the entire snip

It’s easier to throw away bad code and start over than to change it. You had me nodding along until I came across this. This single sentence is not just wrong, it's so wrong that it unfortunately calls the rest of the article into quest

My point was that your fundamental assumption is wrong. HN has a fantastic design. I believe the trucking site is just as effective.

It's interesting that you imply http://www.highwayfreight.com/index.php is bad design, when you consider the design of the website you're typing into. :) My point is, you have to find actual opportunities. A shiny website may not be o

This. In fact, a friend of mine swears by writing C++ in a style called "snippets" --- meaning, whenever it makes sense to do so, he writes new functionality as a single header and cpp file that has no dependencies whatsoever on other head

It's not really acceptable on HN to editorialize the title like that. In fact, I believe it's explicitly forbidden.
