   Users on 4chan are by default anonymous when posting content or comments (replies to content). At least when I last spent time there (in early 2007) it was considered a faux pas to post content with a username as it is looked as if one is

    Has there been any effort to put the multitudes of clojure.core functions into various sub-namespaces? It's seemed sloppy to me that there are just gobs of functions which are totally un-compartmentalized.

    Digg v4 has added back the features I liked after taking them away - mostly the Upcoming section, which tends to have interesting things that never make it to the front page, and the setting that allows you to default to Top Mews, instead o

    As someone else pointed out, the programmer is Notch, the guy behind Minecraft, which is also written in Java, so I assume he has been neck-deep in the Java graphics APIs long enough to have enough of it memorized.
