yobriefcase··on The Weird and Wonderful Characters of Clojure
Neither did I until I started writing about #( and decided to see what would happen. The joys of being nosey.

If you can link me to some examples of this I'll be happy to add them.

(edit) I have a comment around the fact user defined reader macros are not supported in Clojure (save for a hack). Is this not the case anymore?

Is there a simple way to browse all? Am I missing something here otherwise I'd need to know the name of the theme and knowing that I'd guess I'd already know what it looked like?

Let see how we could improve this. Browser Extension/Plugin with a site whitelist. When you browse to the site and there is significant content below the fold you get a tiny popup informing you that scrolling will start in X seconds unless you hit cancel (or perhaps just move the mouse).

All you would have to do is browse to the site (I imagine, ReadItLater, Readability etc. to be typical sites people would use this extension with).

Just a though.

Good point. I haven't used a mouse with a middle button or a mouse come to think of it) in a long time. Difference? None. Another option for the mouseless people, like me, is always good right?

OK there are 2 values you can adjust - the interval (how many ms before it attempts to scroll again) and the increment (how many px's it will jump). You can adjust to your taste if you prefer something else.

I was worried about scrolling on different browsers looking a bit rough - it's something i'll need to tackle soon.

OK the bookmarklet is being pushed as we speak should be available in a minute or so. Thanks for the feedback.

Very basic evening project I threw together. Currently not supported in many mobile browsers but desktop ones appear to work as expected (no promises).

Came into existence because I feed my son at around 3AM and scrolling all the time is a bit of a pain. So I just set this up and let it scroll for me.

Written in Play 2 (Scala) but it's mostly static HTML and JavaScript so thats largely irrelevant.

yobriefcase··on Ask HN: Advice on when it is acceptable to simply "hack something together"?
Interesting. Your answer has really made me think. I guess my problem is the feeling of never really finishing anything (to a satisfying level anyway). I suppose its not a big issue as everything is just for fun and not for business.
