You can use profiles.google.com/yourname (if you haven't excluded your profile from search)

Is there a perspective to looseleaf getting a couchdb or mongodb backend ?

Oh that's nice. Looking forward to reading it.

Is there a similar resource for Android ? I don't currently own one, but this kind of writeup would be helpful to estimate the effort to get into developing first things for it..

Rotating text by 3 degrees is the new marquee (or blink ?).

Oh, i forgot: You can add the --watch switch and get your scripts compiled on save.

Is this about tracking via cookies only, or cookies in general ? Does it mean I have to ask for consent to use ganalytics as well ?

If you build those simple 1-file-testservers with node, simply write them in coffee and then start them like "coffee myserver.coffee".

If it's more elaborated, you might want to set up some kind of build process and then use the generated js files. You could use a simple Makefile and compile your coffee files with coffee -c -b.

The problem is that they don't actually have a braveheart type there. They don't have a leader, and they will reach no progress. Eventually the military will take power and that torture guy Suleiman will become the leading figure. He will choose a couple of opposition 'leaders' to talk to, implement some fake democracy simulation and carry on the game.

It's really nice to believe that something is going to change, but there is no reality to it. Believing in symbols of western democracy like mass demonstrations - fine. Those people need a ruthless leader and a march against the current government though. And they won't have it.

And they really do !

So the perfect setup would be to use your work as alarm, and then wake up and find the work done ? ;-)

Will 'while' be replaced with 'aslongas' ?

Maybe you should market Perl as uncool and weird and without annoying yuppies like DHH. ;P

Maybe it would be a good idea not only to have coding standards, but also automatic handling of auto-formatting code when checking in. If you have a highly flexible coding style system like uncrustify for example, and check ins would be guaranteed to be automatically formatted, you could simply tell vim or emacs to format it with your coding style when opening, and then auto-format it for check in.. I know it's oversimplifying, but maybe it would help some people.

To quote the movie character Mark Zuckerberg: It's clean and simple, no Disneyland.

I'm german, and that was my impression too, the rational style is great. I'm looking forward to read analysis on differences between those reports and official statements (in particular Bush era).

It feels like reading a history book almost in real time - This is the kind of stuff i would expect journalism to deliver as their daily work. If it was a newspaper, I would subscribe for that.

I didn't say the whole meaning wasn't desperate ;-)

No, a community is a group of humans who share a common interest and therefore gather in some form. This would apply to people who are not interested in direct contact as well, it's what separates them from the rest and makes them a community devoted to that special interest.

Why ? People live in big cities, don't have to worry about other people around them, and it's still a community.

MySQL has been saving tiny little kittens for years.

When I last tried Lisp (SBCL) i was surprised how hard it is to find standard, common sense 'batteries' as you would in python, and how hard it is to get things going if you're not experienced. I think the point where I jumped out of the boat was trying out 'Hunchentoot' or something like that (webserver).

I haven't seen that with Python, Ruby, C++, Java, even Haskell feels 'modern' in that way. Why must it be so hard to get simple stuff going ?

(Note: I like function programming concepts, but I would expect a programming language to be easier to bind into a context of reality.)

Could you implement sorting by points or by comments with jquery?

That site needs a filter to only read the setups that don't include a MBP.

I recently did something similar and was surprised to see the python sort command be way faster than unix sort.

The only thing is that you have to split it up and merge after sorting (for which unix sort was ok enough).

Not sure why I got that result, but even with increased buffer size for unix sort it didnt much differ. I also didn't run the splitted sorts in parallel, which would of course have been a good idea.

The site is awfully slow at the moment. Is it written in Ruby ? That would make the benchmark even more convincing ;)

Distinction by design is easy, but your site is distinctive because it is a simple and useful tool. The 'distinctive' style will grow with its use becoming more clear and widespread.

Besides that, it really doesnt look like every other site. Almost all other sites are spoiled with eye sugar.

Knowing XSLT for a while --

I wouldn't use it for a web framework, it just seems to be the wrong place. I use xslt for simple document transformation. Say you often have to deal with ridiculously complicated xml files and want to adapt them quickly and in batch to something, then using xslt is a nice way to go.

You should know functional programming to get anything more done than just throwing out some nodes, though. And the hard part about xslt ist actually xpath, which I still have problems with even after years to get the syntax right..

(I'm not a daily user, but it's my usual tool for that matter)
