This also works wonders with a lightly-held pencil when you're falling asleep in class. Kept me awake through many early-morning lectures.

Because that is what they said. In so many words. I trust their second sentence is relevant and makes more sense to investors, but I imagined it being their slogan. "Gamador: We launch faster, iterate faster, and use metrics better" jus

I was giggling at Gamador's summary. We make social games. We launch faster, iterate faster, and use metrics better. "Use metrics better"? I guess that one wasn't crafted with consumers in mind.

Agreed. I find martial arts discussions funny. More often than not it's a bunch of people arguing over which one is the "best" in a "real-world fight", which usually degrades into arguments over what "real-world fights" are like, because n

I actually pronounce it "tree-eye", even though that's all sorts of incorrect.

I think the syntax cards were pretty bogus anyways. If you really wanted to compare syntax, you'd do better to compare grammars (e.g., Scheme's: http://www.schemers.org/Documents/Standards/R5RS/HTML/r5rs-Z... ) than to decide what's impor

Provably safe at compile time Is this true? I was under the impression that the Haskell standard didn't formally specify its type semantics. Do works like http://web.cecs.pdx.edu/~mpj/thih/ "count" (i.e., is it the canonical reason we

I'm surprised there seems to be so much LaTeX hatred floating around the comments. I don't really know anything about typography, but typesetting my documents using markup is a pleasure. While I often fall into the trap of designing as I

But I am certain (=believe) that practical applications will come out of this. As any deeper understanding of the universe inevitably leads to practical applications, I should think.

Also, why does the URL need to be human-readable? URLs are for computers. The content is for the human. Disagreed. I can't stand sites with ugly, incomprehensible URLs: even if they're just appending parameters ad infinitum, it's unneces

Wow, I'm really liking Songite. Great work keeping it simple -- not enough of that these days. Edit: Just noticed something playing around with it. Is there a way to correct its results if it doesn't happen to get them right? For example

If you own a domain that's an OpenID provider, you won't be able to use that. Aren't there OpenID users who host their own identities exclusively for themselves? Is there danger in letting people do this? (I seriously don't know much ab

I must be out of the loop, but I was surprised to read that Guillermo del Toro was going to be directing this one. Peter Jackson is still closely involved, it seems: http://derhobbit-film.de/facts.shtml I wonder how much the different di

Never something I thought to read about, but definitely entertaining. Now somebody needs to do a writeup on the history of Nerf guns!

Interesting. I wonder how technical you could get by taking a Socratic sort of approach. Perhaps you could get people to understand basic first-order logic, or at least that logic can be codified. When I start off by trying to define fir

As a competitor (albeit one who's none too serious or good), it's remarkable how precisely you've reflected my attitude about programming contests. Here's a written sample of my numerous (or just repetitive) rants from an old reddit discuss

How is it any different than Digg/Reddit/HN? Here's an obvious one: TechCrunch items get posted on Hacker News. Digg/Reddit/aggregator items, not so much.

Hi, I wanted to give you my ideas for the Social Skydiving challenge without the hassle of signing up for the comment systems. So, I hope you see this here. I have a lot of ideas, most of which are probably junk. But, your blog struck a c

Reddit had a good list awhile back: http://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/8ji9m/ Includes ones for Scheme, Python, Factor, Cat, OCaml, Forth, and Brainfuck. And, of course, all of the many languages covered by Codepad.

You're doing two filters with list comprehensions which you could switch with one span: quicksort (x:xs) = let (a, b) = span (< x) xs in (quicksort a) ++ [x] ++ (quicksort b) Actually, this is incorrect. span will split the

If either were optimal in every case, this debate would be settled by now. Yet what matters here, more so than tiny idiosyncrasies in each, is the overarching philosophy each editor has, and whether that maps to your mode of thinking. I a

Not to troll -- indeed, I am attempting to be constructive -- but in case anyone was interested in (what I know of) vim's equivalent functionality, here's what I have so far: 1) Several options: :help <something> :h <some
