I keep a Yahoo Pipe of HN in Google Reader: http://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes/pipe.run?_id=23159aed1a913917f8... It lists comments as well (up until Yahoo fetches the page for each article), so it's easy to sprint through them when I've missed

Something like this would work: jQuery.fn.logCurrent = function (title) { console.log(title, $.makeArray(this).join(', ')); return $(this); }; But it depends what you want to log for each element. I think Firebu

Not sure, but if the .com is still available, consider using that instead.

Nah. Netbooks don't have enough CPU cycles or pixels to keep up. Granted, I haven't owned one, but I do more than browse the internet. Netbooks typically can't provide enough horsepower to run all of the programs I like to run at the same t

Start with the basics. Ensure you understand general concepts well before progressing to the details of specific programming languages. Take a trip to your local bookstore and spend a couple hours reading the beginning of several books on p

The comments differentiate good links from bad. I rarely read a post without checking the comments first. (Though I do read the links before voting, of course.)

Piano, mostly. Actually, I'm graduating this year with a decree in both CS and music.

Awesome. I just picked up learning jQuery, considering switching my project away from a mix of YUI 2 and 3. So far, it's been enjoyable, but it'll be even better as jQuery UI improves.

Currently, TextMate. Started learning Emacs, though, and hope to get proficient in that soon (via O'Reilly's "Learning GNU Emacs"). TextMate's showing its age, for me at least, and I'm hopeful that Emacs will be more powerful and faster.

A better comparison would be with Multiprocessing, or Eventlet/Spawning.

Google shines when you must deal with a problem that occurs due to third-party code (particularly proprietary code). When things _should_ be working in your code, Google can help sort out an obscure issue much more quickly than trying to

Congrats. I've enjoyed hearing about your progress over the past year.

Skype, Ventrilo or something similar might work, depending on how many people meet at once.

Yes, I protect my gadgets with cases when possible

No, the caseless experience is more important than (normal) wear & tear

Somewhat related: They made a WarGames sequel. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0865957/ I don't know of any hacker-related movies specifically, but I'd note a few sci-fi movies that inspired technological creativity: Flubber (the hovering rob

I've not tried this, but I would wonder how much the potential for "dumb errors" increases when in that state. I already say "Why the heck did I write that?" too many times even when sober!

Summary: Author doesn't like these things about python: - Duck Typing - No constructor overloading - Exceptions in Python aren't explicit ("checked") Eh. You can't approach Python with a Java mindset and expect to be happy, just as you can'

Cool. The changelog lists lots of updates; I'd be interested to hear from those who have had more experience with Git as to whether this improves Mercurial's stance versus Git.

If you're looking for flexibility, give Pylons a shot. It's often paired with SQLAlchemy, which is an amazing ORM that can be configured to do a lot of things which will make scaling easier in the long run. (Whereas Django doesn't have mult

Now what would be really nice is if there was a similarly-easy-to-use "notifymewhenitchanged.com". Every change-notification site I've seen thus far has required a cumbersome signup process.

I think a lot of it has to do with the cost; software is more or less free to create. So the barrier to entry, hardware-wise, is much higher and requires more capital.

Two areas that I can come up with: 1. Minification -- If you want to minify your JS, you might run into problems if you don't insert all necessary semicolons. 2. Convention -- If you wrote js code with no semicolons and then showed it to ot

I use Mercurial, but have been exploring Git a little because of what you noted -- the community momentum seems to be headed that way.
