That title makes it sound like the antimatter was on the run, avoiding the law or something.

Seriously though, I've always loved that there is a lot we still don't know about thunderstorms and lightening.

I'm curious which paypal product you use, and how it's working out for you?

I like mustang as well, but I keep coming back to desert: http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=105

Funny, I was just wondering this morning if there's code somewhere to do the "pull to refresh" action on tables that everyone seems to be adding recently. Found a good round up here: http://iosdevgoodies.joostschuur.com/pull-and-release-refres.... On further inspection the three20 version uses the EGO version.

I think you misread. It's 63% of people not using code review professionally.

I held out and I'm hoping to catch a cheap first-gen after the second comes out.

Great job, I think it looks really good as an MVP. Keep tweaking things, and keep learning!

Looks very cool. Looks like there's a Hacker News group, for those that are interested: https://convore.com/hacker-news/

Grammatically it's just fine, although I might have used "had received" or something instead to make quick reading a little easier.

Daniel, you've really fleshed out the site since last time I looked at it -- I think when you first posted it here. It's looking really good. Any update as to how the project as a whole is going for you?

Thanks. Any downside?

Could someone explain why something like eco makes sense in this context instead of just using rails (ERB) templates. Presumably you have to query the rails backend at some point to get the data. Are the templates in coffeescript for cache-ability? Thanks!

Very cool. I'm torn on the strict requirements to be listed as a tutor. On the one hand I totally understand the need to filter for quality, and if you still have enough tutors, you've probably set the bar at the right place. On the other hand I am a graduate student and a Teaching Assistant and enjoy helping people learn, although it's not something I'm pursuing professionally.

Small bug: the last two questions in the FAQ under the For Parents And Students section are duplicates.

"sick" can be slang for great or cool. see http://onlineslangdictionary.com/definition+of/sick

Good information to know. Are there more current tests that are pushing the current generation browsers to implement new functionality?

Also, that site is beautiful.

Really weird scrolling on Safari 5.0.3 on snow leopard. The background flickers through the search results. Otherwise really cool.

Good work guys. A few text/spelling errors you might want to fix. On the careers page after clicking for more detail in the "smart and talented?" section, there are about 5 places where two words are getting smushed together. Maybe a line break problem or something. And then in the thank you email after signing up, the first line, "thank you requesting ..." should be "thank you for requesting ..."

Maybe it was just me, but I totally didn't "get it" at first that these were sort of steps that build on each other and should be done in order.

So it seemed really strange to me that I had to connect my twitter account before I could follow @dropbox, and the error message you get when you click on the follow one before the auth one is not very descriptive.

Otherwise, really cool offer, thanks guys.

Here's the article: http://www.slate.com/id/2152255/

Fun stuff. Made me smile.

util.Scanner

I recently learned about them and they simplify a surprising number of simple parsing tasks.

Didn't see the submission, and haven't heard much about PD but I'll check it out. Thanks for the link!

Dang, I'd love R, C, or ChucK. That is a tough choice.

If you like parentheses, Scribble[1], a tool by the racket guys, does what you're asking for. I haven't used it extensively but the few times I've tried it, it has worked well. Here's an example scribble file[2].

Just a heads up, there's a typo. Under "Operating Systems", distrobutions -> distributions.

I agree, and I'm not advocating that everyone should always have a date on every piece of content they produce. Rather, one should think rationally about whether or not a specific piece of content will age well or not, and date it appropriately. In my opinion code tutorials and how-to's do not age well.

It looks very nice. One small UI request, you should only be able to edit one existing item at a time, so if you are currently editing one item and you double click another item, the first should be committed.

At least you have a date on your article. Half the articles I find have no date, and so then you're left wondering, 'exactly how out-of-date is the information I just found?'

Wow, that sounds like a bummer. I'm really sorry to hear that. May the future hold better luck for you.

I'm curious which sections of craigslist you look through. Web / Info design? Software / qa / db? Internet engineers?

Transitions are pretty jerky for me, but really great idea. Thanks for open sourcing the code, I'm excited to see where this goes!
