That is definitely it, it looks like Youtube uses MySQL/MariaDB. Thanks for the link.

It looks like there might be some missing parts to this. I was under the impression Google has a layer of MariaDB databases somewhere.

Thanks. I think this was the reply that actually helped me understand this.

Firefox 38.0.1, Windows 7 here. Works fine for me.

Granted, it's not the same, but my programming career started with RPGMaker. It's a point-and-click interface to make simple 2D RPG games for Windows. Much of the point and click interfaces let you create programming constructs like if-else conditions, go-to statements, and loops.

I was intimidated by the idea of using a real language, instead I liked just pointing/clicking my way through things. This was the case until I wanted to make something sufficiently complicated that doing it in RPG Maker would create spaghetti code.

For me, after spending years playing with RPGMaker 2000 (I was 11 when I started), moving onto a real programming language like Python was completely effortless. It was a transition from "I need to click this to make this if-condition" to "I need to write this if-condition here".

Firefox 36, OS X. This doesn't seem to be working for me at all.

This was a great short read for a Sunday morning, thanks for posting this.

Just yesterday, I read Sputnik Sweetheart, and convinced myself to read more Murakami. In the process, I've noticed his works tend to be subtle, and yet are very good at making me feel all sorts of emotions in the process.

I like the desk in the last photo, what kind is it?

How do you feel about online banks, like Ally?

I'm not sure if you've noticed, but when zooming in/out of your docs page there is a huge, noticeable lag where it blocks out the page completely to reload it again.

I wasn't able to win with this one, but you might want to give the logarithmic flappy 2048 a try. It's the only one I'm able to do absurdly well on: http://logarithmic-flappy-2048.ajf.me/

SBT, also known as Slow Build Tool in my office.

>Specifically, sites where you can post links and comment on them

Digg does not allow commenting, as the OP desired.

This looks really great, and I had fun playing around with it.

One small thing that stuck out: there isn't any way to make a newline. You have to make an entirely new comment. Or is there some shortcut key I'm missing? On a lot of text editors, it's Shift + Enter.
