   I use Dokuwiki, but any wiki would do. I love the fact it keeps static files on the server's drive which unison syncs both way to my hard drive -- I can edit on the web and see the changes in my vim, or edit in vim and see the formatte

   As far as I can tell, you are right, although in my view maybes are one step ahead: they form a monad. (Not saying there's anything stopping you from doing the same thing with nullables, but still they're a slightly different conc

   At the office our jaws regularly drop at JetBrains' attention to detail, too. PHP development would be nightmare without their tools. If you're ever reading this, thank you guys very much.

   I was looking forward to this very happy ending.

   I and my friends regularly sound exactly like the output of a markov babbler. "Hey, look, this is not encryption, we're just dumb!"

   You should never be able to "sum" different types, and definitely not different type families. And I don't want a warning, I want a huge fatal end-of-the-world big red flag error message blinking on my screen until I fix it.

   By this logic you can write really fast programs in Haskell, because it avoids computing unused values (and therefore complete calltrees). (Unfortunately, the management of such calltrees -- thunks -- often has higher cost than outright com

   Bret Victor has been fantastic inspiration for me. I believed no programming video can make my jaw drop any longer, but Bret pulled it off. Hugely recommended: http://vimeo.com/71278954

    How can you not jump out of your chair and start dancing occasionally and still call yourself a programmer?

    Fragments indeed don't get sent to the server, and are usually used to track your location inside the document (be it jumping to section headers, or using js-generated dialog boxes, etc.). In an ideal world, this fragment is not change

    Changing the hash, and therefore the URL, adds a new entry to your history. Lots of sites, even popular ones (looking at you, Skydrive) does abuse this and ruins the browsing experience. I have to remember which sites are implemented this w

    Have you tried blocking the IP and see what that might break?

    I panopticoned multiple times, but never figured out the reference you made. Care to elaborate?

    Except that OpenID is a distributed protocol, which the Internet should so obviously use for authentication, not FB/G+.

    I downvoted, because this is very short-sighted. IRC is simple. Blogs are simple. They had their time but they didn't win. They should have, though.

    Yes, it is called the Internet.

    It's the easiest problem for a company to solve, but unfortunately it requires the management to also do their work.

    I always attributed this to the three virtues of great programmers. http://threevirtues.com/ Even the extremely negative comments are usually written in good faith here. Minor incremental improvements such as div styles wil

    1. Make an executable. 2. Put it in your PATH. 3. Profit. The long version is more complicated than that, but you need to tell more details first.

    More importantly, shouldn't the contest organizers comment on this?

    Absolutely yes, up to the point you're working with text. When objects (either implicit or explicit) start to interact with each other, shell scripting falls short quickly.

    I've been thinking about this for some time now. If the browser is really to become the common platform for most applications in the future, shouldn't they be able to declare whatever interaction they desire? There are long articl

    I very much enjoy the fact that all valid criticism is usually posted and upvoted on HN, as opposed to hurray comments only.
