To play devil's advocate, wouldn't the exact same thing be possible with the above alternatives and Armed Bear Common Lisp? You can write full-stack in Common Lisp, it's just that different parts need to go through different compilers/inter

Nice/Useful. Internal Server Error the first time I tried to load comments. (And every time afterwards.) And it's kind of a bummer not to be able to log in and comment, upvote, etc. I understand it's a MVP though, so presumably that's comin

Thanks. Also: I take it that you have to be in the top 10 to get something? Or is it that the top 3 get something, and 10 others are randomly selected to win a book? The award system is not explained too clearly...

It's too bad they don't also give away the dead-tree version. Some things are nice to actually have on your shelf...

As a big CLI fan, I mostly agree, especially with respect to launching programs. But as far as I see there's two big obstacles: 1) Many names are somewhat-obscure in the interest of shortness. But are therefore a bit harder to remember. Com

Both with essays and coding, there've been times when I was very grateful that there was a fixed moment in the document's life that I could easily go back to. Sometimes I start making changes and then think better of it[1]. Sometimes I edit

Many icon sets (on Linux, at least) use a picture of a hard drive instead of a floppy [1]. Which, though more correct, still worries me. Anybody who recognizes the icon as a picture of a hard drive isn't going to be confused by the concept

There's a lot more to an operating system than how it manages non-fullscreen applications. "Windows" is obviously a related term, but I don't think it's generic --when I boot up Linux on my laptop, I don't say, "This Linux/Xorg/Openbox c

I'd rather they fixed the results now and worried about the algorithm later (and you know they're working on the algorithm) than make us suffer unnecessarily until the algorithm was suitably improved.

The lifetime membership seems like a solid idea. It might also be worth charging, say, $1 to just use it once. Regardless, though, $18/hr (($200 - $20 theme) / 10 hours) is not bad.

I agree entirely. I've seen some remarkably creative, unique, quality pixel art, but this was not it. When I saw it, my first thought was, "Well, I guess it was kinda creative to use a cross pattern on the tie instead of diamonds..." Apart
