DCS sure are thin, but sound is preference, and so some of us see ABS DCS as the best sounding keycaps on the market.

Custom DCS runs (SolDark, 9009, Reaper, WoB, etc.) in the past few years sold well and are generally appreciated and sought after.

Been in the software development industry for almost 19 years now. The last five years have been pretty much what you describe. Yes, I can certainly relate. I've been largely driven by passion, but passion is no longer here. And I'm bad at discipline, which should be my new driver now, I guess. :-)

Muie PSD!

> I don't know why the author thought so deep about it.

Because “beautiful” is a pretty abstract word. It kinda invites to a debate. Don’t you think?

> In conclusion, the newly added měilì 美丽 ("beautiful") in the Party constitution is completely unrelated to the abstract ideal of "beauty" of the Platonic or Aristotelian sort.

This is a pretty interesting remark, in the eyes of a westerner. Care to comment on it?

I was referring to the company (the employer), not the employee. From the article: ”The company had presented him with printouts of his private messages to his brother and fiancée on Yahoo Messenger as evidence of his breach of a company ban on such personal use.“

Hm, no. Long story short:

In order for a company to be allowed to monitor, they would need to pass some kind of audit, they would need to prove that they don’t store, for example, sensitive personal data, etc.

What. Is. This. I don’t even.

The glyphs files are the sources. They can be opened with Glyphs (http://www.glyphsapp.com/).

Here’s how you disable “EcoLinks” if you have this extension installed and enabled:

Uncheck “Enable EcoLinks”.

> Building a social network is not easy. Social networks have value proportional to their size, so participants aren’t motivated to join new social networks which aren’t already large. It’s a paradox where if people haven’t already joined, people aren’t motivated to join.

Value is relative. For stakeholders, value is indeed given by the network’s size. For users (participants), it’s very debatable whether size equals value. The author seems to be mistaking the two perspectives for a single one. No paradox here.

Ymacs is written by Mihai Bazon. It has nothing to do with Bellard. http://www.ymacs.org/

Edit: And it’s _written_ in JS, not ported.

The `for … in` statement iterates over the enumerable properties of an object¹. It’s not for arrays.

“Best viewed in Netscape” still wins over “Download for Windows (x86)”.

Yes. So much about differentiation.

What about `console.info()`? Or is it a bit too adventurous?

Yes. It will not break, though.

Unless you’re running it on an old IE that doesn’t host the `window.console` object.

`(new Error()).stack` is non-standard. But that’s a nice hack, nevertheless.

Calling `console.log()` in “production mode” is a bad idea, anyway.

Ideally, you’ll want those calls stripped at some point, in your build script.

“For those looking for commercial support, StrongLoop (Ben Noordhuis & Bert Belder's company) has released a distribution containing node v0.10 that they will support on Windows, Mac, Red Hat/Fedora, Debian/Ubuntu and multiple cloud platforms. You can download their Node distribution here.” —http://blog.nodejs.org/2013/03/11/node-v0-10-0-stable/

Anonymous methods and closures are not the same thing. You may have anonymous methods that don’t access outside scopes, so they’re not creating any lexical closures.

The syntax of anonymous methods is consistent with the overall language syntax. Yes, Pascal has strict types and `begin`… `end` instead of curly braces. It tends to be more verbose than, say, JavaScript.

Web Components is the storm that will wipe away all these frameworks: Backbone, Ember, Angular, Knockout, etc.

Unfortunately, we’ll have to stick around with them for the following couple of years, probably, as for now, most of the Web Components APIs are available only in Chrome Canary and Firefox dev builds. Monkey-patching (AKA “shimming”) to the rescue…

In my opinion, the more certain nowadays libs resemble the Web Components specs, the more clear the developers’ choice towards those libs should be.

It’s the “playground”. You can play with it here: http://benvie.github.com/continuum/

As for the editor, it’s CodeMirror.

This is a fine example of what hacking is about.

Thank you for publishing this.

Because it’s related to monads and this is HN. ☺

It’s the result of a bug in Opera’s JavaScript interpreter, parsing a minified file. ☺

And we know, as well, that this so-called-argument is an ad hominem attack and a red herring.
