And numerous compilers and interpeters and other system-level software. The author might be talking about consumer-oriented software, but still saying that C isn't suitable for large codebases is very presumptuous . disingenuous was the wr

It looks like they've fixed the one for 1729.

I agree with you on the landing page. The introductory paragraph seems rather "fluffy". That combined with the fact that it uses a whitepaper immediately gave me the feeling that it's not really meant as something for regular programmers to

Reminds me of all the PHP tutorials floating around that only treat security as a side note. Essentially, the default configuration with Rails seems to be that users can set the data for any database column. It's almost as bad as register_g

The issue seems to be a result of an entire hash of the parameters passed in the request being sent to the new method for models. Is this really common practice in Rails code? Sure you can specify in the model that certain attributes can't

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pax_Mongolica While the Mongol empire was split up after Genghis Khan's death, it didn't just collapse. There was a fairly long period of stability that followed.

The Mongols may not have had cities (besides Karakorum, the capital). However, by the time Genghis Khan's conquests were under way they had a written alphabet, a very highly organized military structure, a complex legal code, freedom of r

We don't know whether any other genes have adapted in the last 10 million years to the lack of the pathway needed to synthesize vitamin C. Reintroducing the proteins for this pathway may cause unintended interactions with existing proteins.

If you're just reading the source of the framework, why not just read the Coffeescript source instead of reading the generated Javascript code?

Is anyone noteworthy saying that Java is dead, anyone providing good arguments for it? Otherwise this seems to be arguing against a straw man.

For the average person who knows very little to nothing about SOPA, the phrase "anti-piracy" implies that the bill is specifically targeted against piracy-related matters. People might even assume that it would be effective against piracy.

Thanks! :)

Ah, makes sense if it can be used as a Twitter client as well. I guess it'd be an interesting challenge for Twitter to distinguish between automated Tweets and Tweets you actually posted but using something else. Anyway, I just signed up, l

Not to forget "Follow new people". Do they have an explanation anywhere for needing all these permissions?

Works well though some directions would definitely be useful. First make sure you mention that logging in through Twitter is required. Even better, don't make it needed at all. Tinychat currently lets you join and broadcast anonymously. Sec

I disagree with that since the reasons are not purely political. PG believes that supporting SOPA shows a very flawed understanding of how the Internet works. Since many YC companies are web-based or rely on the Internet in other ways I thi

I don't see any advantages for founders listed other than that having an apprentice frees up some time. It basically sounds like having an assistant that you also have to teach.

It doesn't use CoffeeScript's syntax, but I work on Pharen, which takes a Lisp dialect and compiles it to PHP: http://scriptor.github.com/pharen/

There are different situations where commenting on looks is appropriate and when it isn't. If the two know each other well as friends then that's just guys commenting on a woman's looks. The line between professional and friendly discussion

The person who told me the above was my own mom, who is from South Asia :) In that region at least medicine and engineering are very common for girls to go into, not so much other fields requiring a college degree (I think). Again, just ane

One possible reason for this is that in those countries science/engineering is often one of the few routes an educated women has available. I've only heard this anecdotally and haven't been able to research it, but it could be one factor.

It's interesting to consider how the ancestors of modern humans who first had 46 chromosomes became dominant. It could have been due to simple genetic drift, maybe the family with the translocation had a high number of offspring by chance f

I'd be interested in the quantum mechanics explanation of how the daemon reduces entropy. When I discussed the thought experiment with some friends we simply concluded that the very act of sorting the molecules is introducing outside energy

My guess would be that it was built up by several of the team members and they just pasted the links from where they found them, which was probably Twitter.
