Pretty warty implementation. You have to pass strings and their lengths to a C function. Ah well, it's the intention that counts. :) https://github.com/GrooveStomp/SnakeEyes

Well, I'm a software developer and I can relate to what you're saying. I certainly don't try to defend poor software, and often I find myself frustrated with the current state of software. But, the reality of the situation is, you can't cha

Thanks! The one linked in the headline read like to chatbots randomly writing stuff at each other.

I was just going to comment on this quote. Glad someone beat me to it. I wonder if it's actually one of the biggest problems, though? What are the average number of invalidations for other industries? Do other industries also suffer from

If that's a Blackberry device, then why does it also have the Google logo on it?

Maybe you could change this into a poll? I use Google Reader and check it often, but I'm very selective of what I subscribe to, so there's not usually a lot of updates to catch up on.

Naturally, I didn't read enough and then commented something that makes little sense in context. Thanks mbreese!

Cool. Anything similar for *nix and Windows? I'm fairly certain you can embed WebKit in GTK - in fact, I think that's functionality exposed by the API. I'm not sure to what extent it's supported with other language bindings, though.

Small demographic? I'm not aware of any hackers written in C. :)

That is so cheeky and perfect in context. :D

Very thorough introduction that emphasizes the right points. I like the author's dislike of the canvas element - and specifically his description of why he dislikes it, and how he ultimately accepts it and encourages it's use as a way to f

That diagram is hilarious! The home button continually stumps me on the iPhone. I've brought up the multitasking menu a couple of times (probably 25% of the time when I try to do it). Honestly, I stumbled upon the feature by accident once

Maybe I'm missing something: I just see a bunch of people's profiles in a search results listing. Do I need to actually have a Facebook account to see what's relevant?

I was thinking about this the other day - with netbooks, tablets and smartphones running Android showing no signs of slowing down; Android really does seem to be "the dream come true" in terms of "Is this the year of the Linux desktop" kind

I completely agree. Hacker News is supposed to be an open, intelligent community and we really shouldn't tolerate that kind of bullying. It's amazing how some people react to acts of public good.

This is an awesome analysis. I think the best thing to come out of Google+ is the clarification of kinds of digital social interactions and how we might tackle those in the (short-term) future. Maybe even Facebook or Google will iterate a

Alright, that's done, now where's the all-code Hacker News? :)

Apparently saurik and I are the only ones confused! I found it very jarring to read that Firefox 6 isn't out yet, but the thread talks as if Firefox 8 is actually out, or very close to being released. In my mind I'm envisioning a weird, st

I completely agree with you. My sister in law was talking about working for a high-profile lobbying group because "That's how real political change happens." I pretty much felt sick to my stomach right then and there. Unfortunately, most o

Color me interested. I only did a super short-and-quick scan, but it looked nice for newbs trying to get up to speed. My #1 hurdle to adopting server-side Javascript is the terrible, utterly lacking documentation for anything CommonJS relat

#5 seems like a very poor reason, but it depends on what your goals are. I liked this story a lot: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2728167 (or, direct link: http://dirkriehle.com/2011/06/30/the-java-ip-story/ ) If you're fine with us

Even with the pause my phone doesn't recognize it. It might not have been too fast before, afterall. Do I need a special QR reader to read them?

Mobilicity in Canada. Coverage isn't great, but hopefully it improves. Fido used to have terrible coverage in Canada, but they've worked some kind of deal with the other carriers, so their coverage is now much better. Here's a price guide

And that's why I'm on a $10/mo unlimited data plan, which naturally includes text messaging as "data".

Thanks! I'll take a look at it later on (hopefully today).
