It looks like each page a user navigates to is appended to the URL. I hope the team develops the notion of "browsing modes" with the option (on by default I would think) to use canonical URLs for a given page. Otherwise, a user trying to visit a bookmark at a later date will (1) wait for all prior pages in their browsing stack to load before the page they bookmarked, and (2) may potentially exceed a maximum URL length depending on how that particular wiki is served.

Similar comics existed (and exist) growing up in the U.S., but they are less prominent in comic book stores, and more prominent in traditional book stores or the Sunday paper. E.g., Calvin and Hobbes (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calvin_and_Hobbes).

> increasing connascence

Well, you're trading connascence of position for connascence of name, which in this case is much better because you are providing context for the argument data.

If preservation is the goal, maybe the plants ought to be spread around a bit. Sounds like the theft could be a net gain for the species (shrug)

> What a terrible article

Those are quotes from interview subjects, not editorialization. If the subject's opinion is horrible, you want that to show through in the article.

Then don't upvote it. Asking that people prescreen their submissions to not offend your subjective definition of "interesting" or "informative", is introducing a chilling effect.

Their primary computer must be one of those.

It makes coffee? Seriously, same idea, but it's still newsworthy because it's a bad, bad, dangerous idea.

Makes sense, thanks.

Was his prior history as @N already lost at that point?

Absolutely sincere, but pre-coffee as well :)

Yes I agree with that. Sorry for not taking the time to make a coherent argument :)

You may have missed my point, but that's probably my fault :P.

What an incredibly important book for little boys, to normalize learning from women early on so they don't grow up to form stereotypes like "programming is for men". Bravo!

This seems really useful, but I don't think Github would approve of the Octocat usage: http://octodex.github.com/faq.html

I understand the desire for a challenge, but you might consider not submitting them. Effort goes into advancing a candidate's application at each stage, so someone out there is wasting their time so you can get your "good job!" boost.

I had never heard of it until now, but now that I've seen Jade, it doesn't seem like a replacement for Markdown at all. I use MD to add semantics, formatting, and links to text. 99% of the Markdown documents on my computer will never be rendered as HTML.

His friend would have made a lot of personal progress in their understanding and abilities.

What about long-term maintainability of a large application? Rails has its issues there, but a body of best practices has grown up around maintaining long-lived rails apps. I wonder what the author's opinion would look like were it building the single app that is core to their business, and maintaining it for 3 years, instead of spitting out a Meteor app for a client every 6 weeks?

I've worked several programming jobs since switching to Dvorak, and it has never been an issue---it takes < 10 seconds to change the layout OS-wide. No need to request a special keyboard (and I leave my keycaps as QWERTY because I touch-type anyways).

...because Obama lived in Indonesia?

Except the most successful political fundraising machine in history that ran on Jekyll [0] :P

How do you prove that onions.io is running https://github.com/onionsapp/Onions-Rails-API?

It's ads and trackers all the way down?

Whoosh!

A hand-drawn sketch of the planned UI would look less vaporwarey.

Considering what we've learned, anyone's definition of "appropriate measures" has probably changed.

There must be more to it. I have accounts for Google and Dropbox, using the same email, in Google Authenticator.

This comment is verbally abrasive. I find the site very clear, legible, and intuitive.
