The new design looks stunning next to the older one - which already looked good. Am I the only one wishing the readme was above the file list? In my case, I often read the readme and rarely look at the files, and as a landing page standpoin

Right, from the documentation (albeit hidden in the Arrays section): Since there is no garbage collection in C, you must free the dynamically allocated array with delete. delete translates to C as free and nothing in other (garbage-collect

Does it matter here from a user standpoint? The compiler is strictly licensed but the user's work - Ć code and generated code - shouldn't be tied to any predefined license, or am I missing something?

Right. Who would ever want to be able to write libraries that can run on any platform?

I haven't tried Workflowy but from the AppStore description it looks like a clone of TaskPaper or FoldingText (free form text with to dos / outlining / tagging). Isn't the main point of the poster's app that it choo

I like the premise and the simplicity, well done. But what if the app picks a MUST task that isn't actionable at a given time?

Those must be long exposures with post processing. A clear sky without light pollution doesn't look anything like that, but it's beautiful. Go see one!

Why worry about meaningful change, why work against the dysfunctional, towards peace and sanity, why care about reaching our true potential as intelligent beings on this planet when we can instead fantasize about going to Where no man has

Exactly what I was thinking. Use a scripting language you're proficient at. This article doesn't make Make look worth the trouble if you don't have a more specific reason to use it. Too much complexity, and quirks like you’ll need to delet

Mindful coding. Would you mind elaborating on that? I would have thought mindfulness (being aware of the present and being alive) would sit at the opposite end of a spectrum from coding (being deeply focused on abstract constructs). When

The fact that you might just be having an episode of impaired cognition does not actually enter your brain. It depends. I agree that it should. That said that realization doesn't make it less spiritual. Experiencing a different reality, s

In the 1950s, the researchers William Dement and Nathaniel Kleitman discovered that we sleep in cycles of roughly 90 minutes, moving from light to deep sleep and back out again. They named this pattern the Basic-Rest Activity Cycle or BRAC

You can set it as the homepage (enableable in Settings). It adds an extra step after opening a new page (either clicking on the home icon or shift-cmd-h) but I prefer that to replacing the default Chrome page (with its Most visited and Rece

Thank you. I've tweaked it to my preferences. I've gotten in the habit of writing with a black on light grey monospaced font. Removing the web font dependency (and the transition, again matter of taste) made the page snappier. data:text/htm

I started learning English with videogames too. I bought an English translation dictionary that was about half my weight to play Zak McKracken, on a 286 my dear avó owned. My tipping point came much later, with a pretty and sweet native E

I re-read myself and got uncomfortable with how negative my comment sounds. Even though it sort of ended up sounding like I wrote it to be dismissive of other's work, I didn't, I thought my experience would be useful to others as a construc

Nice read, thanks! It made me more hungry to learn about artistic processes. I have to say though, as a plug to a service that helps improve your website presentation and flow, in the context of that blog page, to me it's a big turn off. Th

Agreed, this is an example where returning true or false would be more useful. I presumed the point was assuming a situation where a method returning either a value or nil would be desirable.

I hear you, and I realize Rubyists tend to avoid ternary operators, but I think this case is one where idiomatic Ruby makes unnecessary compromises against readability. Your arguments still don't convince me the latter is more readable. Ru

I enjoyed reading that, thanks. One thing: replacing def my_method @foo == :bar ? :foo_matches : nil end with def my_method :foo_matches if @foo == :bar end doesn't look like an improvement to me. The f

If it helps you/the code (readability, DRYness, ...) then go for it. Avoiding it on the basis of guessing it would make a difference is a slippery slope down premature optimization hell [1]. I'd say code away, and when/if you need to opti

I'd recommend studying The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle. I tried to read a few books on the topic, and this is the first one that managed to catch my attention. It's straightforward and thorough, and he's very good at explaining things tha

After watching (and thoroughly enjoying) mtgx's second linked video [1] it's become a little more complicated to discern the left or the right of copyright. I think the talk's final point of speaking of "values" is very pertinent and in a w

Is anyone using GA to track mobile apps? The mobile SDKs shows a lot of potential until you start wondering about offline usage, GA being a website tracker first. I couldn't find any final answers but from what I can see it might be a sor

Interesting. Is this process - plugin based game development in Unity - documented anywhere? I assume you lose browser support, are there other major drawbacks?
