rustc

Don't know if it's only me, but I keep changing/cycling fonts and color schemes of my terminal every few weeks or so. Currently using Source Code Pro with ZenBurn. Will give Ubuntu Mono a try tonight.

A little off-topic, but could you give some (Perl) code examples of this:

> You feel initiated into an inner circle. You feel like you’ve discovered LISP in an alternate dimension (but you haven’t).

Can anyone who has tried Ember and Angular on moderately sized apps (500-1k+ LOC) compare their experiences?

I'm using Angular, I love how little code I have to write to make testable apps with their two-way binding, and dependency injection. I went from 0 to Todo App in about an hour after I started to learn Angular. Should I give Ember a try?

If you can still change the options, please change Vi to Vim, as I'm sure most of the people voting for it actually mean Vim.

I was having several issues with phpsh (and it looks like it hasn't been updated for 2 years now - https://github.com/facebook/phpsh). Just tried Boris and it seems to be working good!

I wonder why the 9 lowest ranked frameworks are all in PHP...

Seems like a good place to ask:

I have good programming skills, but I know almost nothing about micro controllers. What would be a good place to learn more about these things, and what you can build with them? Would prefer something which teaches more about the electronics/hardware part than the programming one.

Thanks for the link. They're good, but I'd really like to see the comparison of memory safe version and parallel version, compared to languages which compete on those fronts (as the comments on that post have already requested), as that would really be the selling point of Rust IMO.

I'm a big fan of rust (hence my username), and would like to know if there have been any non-trivial benchmarks of Rust's compilation time, and the performance of compiled executable.

Last I checked Rust took about 40 minutes to compile itself on my laptop. Is it still the case? (I haven't touched Rust for a month or so.)

Also, is anyone using Rust in non-toy projects? (Except Mozilla's own servo.)

Any details about shipping costs? And will non-EU countries also have to pay the VAT fee? (Hosting companies do not charge VAT for non-EU customers.) 91 euros seems to be too tempting. :)

Hey Chris,

I love the idea of Light Table.

I'm sorry if I missed a post, but when do you plan on officially releasing the source code to the public? I'd really like to play with it.

Slightly off-topic, but I've been intrigued by one way functions for quite a while now. How does someone go about making a one way function like MD5 and SHA1? How do you know it can't be reversed easily?

I'm not OP, but HTTP Headers show:

    X-Powered-By: Phusion Passenger (mod_rails/mod_rack) 3.0.19

So most likely a Ruby app, and probably not Rails as no asset pipeline has been used.

Two great ones by Rich Hickey, the creator of Clojure -

Are We There Yet? - http://www.infoq.com/presentations/Are-We-There-Yet-Rich-Hic...

Simple Made Easy - http://www.infoq.com/presentations/Simple-Made-Easy

I think "General Practitioner".

If JetBrains actually made this, I'd use it.

Thanks! This is exactly what I was looking for! Short useful snippets which demonstrate extending Emacs with Emacs Lisp.

A little off-topic, but how did you generate/get the loading animation on the demo page? Looks very neat!

I've not participated much in the new SE sites, but I feel they do not hate discussion threads as much as the original SE sites.

Using Ruby 2.0.0-p0, Lua 5.1.5, and LuaJIT 2.0.0 on my machine:

Lua: ~400-420ms

LuaJIT: ~390-400ms

Ruby: ~600ms

Just curious: how much do such prolific programmers usually charge? (Hourly/daily/etc.)

How does this compare to DigitalOcean, which is about a quarter of the price of this? ($19+ vs $5), for similar specs?

Nice idea.

There should also be some more tags or things that would help someone narrow down results to less apps. Currently all categories seem to have 3-5 pages with 10 apps each, with just a line of description and URL.

Curious: What happens if the individual in question is NOT in the US? Can this still be done?

Looks like it was deleted. What was it?

I may have missed it, but what features exactly does this have over Vim?

Completely agreed. Just defining a "multiple_of" method which takes n as a parameter would have better than the method_missing hack.

Any HNer uses K/Q/KDB for personal/commercial purposes? What do you use it for?

Very very well done.

I wonder if there's anything comparable open source version? I'd like to hack on it a bit.
