Couldn't you do almost the exact same thing using pdb, without all the C API / register stuff? Maybe I misunderstood the post, but it sounds like you're just stopping right before the request returns, reloading the module, generating a new

Where's the demo link? I couldn't find one, but I'm assuming nobody would write an HTML5 tutorial without a link to a demo page...

Is there a well-known framework or JS library that most of these "scroll to animate" pitch decks are using? It seems like a lot of work to roll your own, and I imagine the designers have better things to do. They all seem to work roughly th

In my opinion, that IS an ambiguous question. Not in the sense that it's hard to understand approximately what you're looking for, but that it's not obvious how to choose the right answers. I agree that this kind of moderation can be a bit

This is interesting - I actually wrote a tool very similar to Grc a while back: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/rad It uses the same idea of config files specifying what regexes to look for and how to color them. This tools looks a little mor

Seems like there's a lot of consensus here that Modafinil has no known dangerous side effects. I'm a little curious and concerned about the potentially fatal skin conditions (SJS, etc.) mentioned in the wikipedia article though: http://en.

Awesome concept! Thanks for building this. One possible issue - There needs to be some kind of search for finding similar "VimBits". I wanted to add some of my favorites, but I have no way of knowing whether they're there already without re

Try to figure out how you could trick a setuid program into running your date program instead of the real one.

Then why work through the examples? The "learn by rote" method he's using here is designed to help people with little or no experience catch up quickly, and remember what they've learned without the many years of daily use. If you just want

I would second this. Managing with pathogen is really finicky and a huge timesink if you screw things up. The newer versions of Vundle are fantastic, and give you features like lists of your current plugins and searching of the plugins repo

"And if you did multiple jumps, you can backtrack with <C-o>." I learn something new with these posts every time! I've been wanting something like this for a while.

I've found http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Table_of_mathematical_symbols to be helpful when deciphering formulas. It's hard to remember what all the notation means sometimes.

Looks like a great idea. What's your experience with it? Does it have a good selection of packages, or just the bare-bones?

I'm curious about the small dips you can see in the long term view of Firefox's browser share. They all seem to match up exactly with a bump in one of the other browsers' share (mostly IE or Chrome). Is this because Firefox users are prone

Homebrew tries to use the default libs and utilities that come with OS X / Xcode. MacPorts and Fink try to create their own little microcosm of a Linux system complete with all libraries and utilities. They generally seem to fail at this be

Although I do think it's a nicely done app, I have to question its utility. Not Hipmunk itself, just the mobile part. Is there really a large market for looking up flights on-the-go? I mean, if you're spending a couple hundred/thousand doll

Your shell prompt is a lambda? I wasn't aware that was possible with most terminal emulators.

To some degree, I can agree with Ryan here that a lot of software these days is unnecessarily complex. However, I also think that his view is biased because he works on a project that is responsible for a great deal of abstraction. The aver

I suspect it's partly because of the difficulty involved in measuring the quality of a given API's design. How do you separate the success resulting from the usefulness or popularity of the technology from the design of the API? That was th

I think you'll find that any "free webhost" is going to give you a lot of trouble if you want to deploy a project built on a modern web framework. Rule of thumb: if it doesn't have SSH access, and it's not a Platform-as-a-Service like Herok

I can't believe I've read this far into an epic flamewar already, but thank you for making the one comment I can get behind. My experience with most development teams is that they have their own custom version of whichever framework(s) they

Your premise that the web is somehow less effective because you can't scrape data from pages easily doesn't make much sense to me. Have you taken a look recently at the plethora of web APIs for just about every purpose? The modern way of co

using only the second "<" would result in bash being called with a argument like "/dev/fd/N", which is where the output of the subshell is coming from. The first "<" redirects the output of this file descriptor into the stdin of bas

alright, never mind what I said before: http://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/process-sub.html Looks like the equivalent of the "read" example partway down the page. curl is actually being executed in a subshell.

The admin functionality IS in a separate app. The app just happens to be bundled with Django. Take a look at the folder structure for the admin code in Django (contrib/admin). It has the same structure and conventions as any user app.

I think the parentheses are just for grouping of the second command. The "<" means feed the stdout of the second command into the stdin of the first. So what's happening here is the output of curl (a script) is being fed directly into a

Their whole argument seems to be about the use of simple hotkeys (cmd-p) vs menu items (File->Print). Text editors are a completely different application of the same input devices. I also think that studying the efficiency and speed of
