A while ago, when commenting on blogs was still a thing, I came up with an ingenious way to solve the spam problem and it worked with 99.9% accuracy. When someone posted a blog comment, I marked it as "pending" and I emailed it to

I concur. I have been programming JavaScript for 20 years and I have never used call/bind/apply. I have never been able to understand what they are for or what they do.

Thanks! I love the anecdotal evidence fallacy. It's my favorite fallacy.

You're so wrong. I built it and they came. And when I say they, I mean millions of users. Here's my blog post about it: https://catonmat.net/if-you-build-it-they-will-come

No hand waving. Structural regular expressions are starting to get popular just in the last couple of years. They're getting integrated in text editors and other tools. Take a look at this talk for concrete examples from the Vis text e

If you think about it, the Windows registry is the first and most deployed NoSQL database.

Also incredibly cool project from the author is the Pure Bash Bible: https://github.com/dylanaraps/pure-bash-bible .

I wish someone would build a visualizer/teaching tool for structural regular expressions. They are much more powerful than regular regular expressions.

Once I discovered fzf a couple of years ago, I instantly knew it was the future of shell. My entire workflow is now driven by fzf. I use it together with bash, vim, cd (and "z" command), even mkdir (autocomplete from "words&q

I have to complement your choice of FreeBSD and jails. If I didn’t have a Linux stack, I’d run FreeBSD and jails, too. I wrote my own kernel modules that do exactly what I need in my stack and use case. No need for complicated SELinux, AppA

I think the word entropy is science’s largest mistake.

I run thousands of severs. None of them have SELinux or systemd. It’s banned tech.

by pkrumins 5y ago

by pkrumins 5y ago

There was no marketing strategy. I wrote blog posts then merged them into a pdf and announced the book. My blog has 100,000 subscribers.

I hope they invent the CSS instruction in the next gen CPU so that Dan can start using it in his blog.

Python is becoming a Turing tarpit language that’s black-holing on its own syntactic complexity. Soon every single ASCII character will have a special syntactic meaning and the syntax itself will become Turing complete in more than one way,
