   Someone should make a protest site for that protest site against slow, glitchy scrolling design over usability.

   Maybe I'm nitpicking, but using the word "open source" for anything but source code (this project is a collection of Markdown and CSV files) sounds odd to me, and a bit like a meaningless buzzword. We've had the word &qu

   The (6) 5 letter codes read as follows, from left to right, top to bottom: THEY - THROW - GRENADES - WE - PULL - PINS - AND - THROW - BACK The final code at the bottom is a phrase: NOTIFY REINFORCEMENTS STAND DOWN - NOT NEEDED http:&#x2F

   It might be an easier way to produce obfuscated code by reading the preprocessed output. But I see your point---it's reinventing the wheel in a different way. That's the fun of it of course.

   I think that sets the address of main to NULL, so it segfaults as soon as `_start` jumps to `main`. It's known for being one of the smallest compilable C programs. EDIT: Your original post contained int main=0;

   I wonder if one could write a header file containing definitions that would make the following possible. char main[] = { movl(1, eax), movl(1, ebx), movl(message, esi), movl(13, edx), syscall(), movl(60, eax), xorl(

    I like this idea, and it's entirely possible with the CSS `filter: blur(10px)`.

    There are a few highly positive comments on this thread that read like advertisements or featured testimonials. (This suspicion is primarily based on the average negativity and skepticism by the Hacker News community :)

    I suspect a bit of sock-puppetry on this thread. The demo PDF is nice looking, but there are many more ways to generate PDF from Markdown, via LaTeX or HTML. Most people willing to use Markdown instead of Word, Pages, etc. would know how to

    This is neat, although fairly straightforward if you know about the `scrollTop` property. I foresee this zoom-scroll effect being used on actual homepages of startups, which will further separate users with slow computers and tablets from t

    I agree. This would be great in a WebGL implementation.

    tl;dr Christmas light bulbs each have a bypass wire which is initially insulated to avoid shorting the filament. If the filament burns out, the new high electric potential burns off the insulation, thus re-completing the circuit for the res

    The source does not seem to be available, and the only additional features mentioned (i.e. built with Intel's compiler and added "some extra features to really stand out") do not justify running unknown code on my machine. As

    This is a really fun simulation, but I'm bothered that I can only see half of the "sea" since it is 1.5 times the size of the screen. I changed the SCALE value to 1, but fish still disappear offscreen as if I'm not viewi

    I was referring to the veil of deprecation over `do end while` by Matz's comment that you've linked, but as long as Crystal endorses it, is it fine with me.

    As a picky individual, I prefer this variation of languages over a few but established ones. It takes an hour to fully learn another new programming language, and it adds more excitement and comfort to programming.

    I am excited to see new programming languages like this. I can name 100 duck typed, interpreted, GC'd languages, but only half a dozen native compilers for modern languages. Native binaries are much easier to deploy on consumer's

    The boot code Pure64 is really cool, and your Rust code is a good demonstration of its simplicity. I should try this out sometime.
