I considered using a different title for the submission, but I figured he was using "moron" as a modifier.

It affects other species as well. Also, eagles becoming extinct will have far more consequences than a few fewer birds in the sky. Since they are apex predators, everything below them in the food chain will be affected. And guess what's a

> The original source is a parody site for goodness sakes, and a poorly done one at that. Everyone seems to forget this, but if the story is faking (which it likely is) it is pretty much completely pointless and without humor.

The only times I've seen "rockstar" or "ninja" used to describe programmers is in job descriptions. People try to make an otherwise run-of-the-mill web dev job sound interesting by making it sound casual and fun.

The same could be sade for outside code, it just needs to be documented properly and be well-designed.

As in the "Ask HN" type posts? You can simply enter something into the text field when making a submission. It will then ignore the URL field.

The pages for the tutorial at http://x10-lang.org/ are in HTML, but they still force a file download.

It'd just mean using the matcher on people you wouldn't romantically pursue. I think there's too much of a stigma of okc being a dating site, so that people think using it as a friend finder would be weird.

They have an API! http://ideone.com/api I'd have to learn SOAP first, but I've been meaning to do a website similar to tryruby.com for one of my projects. This looks like it could definitely help.

Someone also mentioned Gmaps Pedometer: http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/ It has most of the things I want in a route planner. I'll also check Daily Mile out, thanks for the link!

Nice job! Here are some suggestions: Though it might break the simplicity of the app, it'd be nice if it could plot a road-based route between two points. It'd save a lot of clicks. :) Also, make the markers smaller and try to detect whethe

I'm pretty sure they're referencing the Old Spice commercials and the similarity to 'Ruby on Rails' is only coincidental. The framework itself looks nothing like Rails.

Javascript needs a lot of attention on its own since it has different best practices from other languages. At the same time, apps can be made more fun to play with if you know basic DOM manipulation. It will also be necessary to teach how t

Also, I'm not really a fan of reading text in monospaced fonts. Others may disagree, but reading code and reading regular text are very different things.

Is that for writing entire applications in C or C++ or just parts of them?

I think he left it very ambiguous on purpose. The kids looking exactly like in the dream might just be an artistic thing to connect everything together. Also, the top was starting to jerk around a little bit at the end, so we can't be sure

Can you list some of the incoherencies? I found that things that seemed odd at first can actually be reasoned out pretty easily. Spoilers! For example, a friend was confused how Fischer could be revived. They explained that death with the h

Exactly, the dreamers in the van are feeling 0g, so they're dreaming in 0g as well. However, it's still a dream so when you reach the dream-within-a-dream level, the brain probably defaults to what it's more used to.

Another cs-related theme was the massively parallel capabilities demonstrated by the unconscious. It's also interesting that it's decentralized and actor-based. No two projections were aware of each others' knowledge or events unless they d
