   Your comment reminds me of Google search, which is also quite simple in front (the UI/usage) and very complex under the hood.

   How about giving an acknowledgement on your page when someone submits a project / news? Did it a couple of times lately and saw nothing after the submit, even to show that the submission was received.

    Congrats on the site and thanks. As a guy interested in Go, I plan to check it out over time.

    I really liked the Go Tour, which I checked out 3 weeks ago. Then I was a bit disappointed to see that the UI changed some, making it less user-friendly. (Everything used to fit on one page, except for longer examples, for instance.) Still

    Okay. Please consider setting up a page to collect email addresses of non-U.S. developers for if/when you expand to international later. WorkMarket does that, IIRC.

    Is the service US-only? I seem to remember reading something like that on HN recently in another thread.

    Thanks. I suggest SWIFT - http://www.swift.com - as another option - if you also plan to offer this to people (developers and/or consumers (of developer's work) outside the US. It's been around for ever, and is reliable and used by zilli

    How is payment to developers done? Do they need a PayPal account? or other way? Is there more than one way to get paid?

    That's an interesting theory. I suspect it is likely to be applicable in many, if not most cases. Related anecdote: a person contacted me a year ago and asked if I'd be interested in being a co-founder of his startup that would be using

    Heck, I commented in a hurry without thinking :( I did know about stack traces (used so many times), and you're right, of course. Thanks for pointing it out, though :). Now that I think of it more, since stack traces exist, there isn't even

    That's an interesting idea: to only catch exceptions at a very high level (for fast prototyping). I tried it out with this test program: http://pastie.org/4791686 Though it works, one potential issue I found with it is that it does not gi

    Check http://www.saylor.org . IIRC their courses allow you to go at your own pace. They offer many courses including but not limited to CS ones, and seem to use Khan Academy / OCW material.

    Though your comment was not in reply to me, thanks for the above info. I knew about IPython but not about the IPython Notebook or the QtConsole. I just googled for IPython notebook and read some of that info, but can you give an example or

    Somewhat similar to Cygwin is UWin. Tried it recently. http://google.com/search?hl=en&q=uwin It was created by David Korn, author of the Korn shell (ksh). You can find the UWin site link some hits down the Google results page. (First

    Interesting. Can you explain how the command works? I did look at the commandlinefu API page but didn't get it. I know UNIX and also specifically what "$@" means in UNIX but didn't get the meaning of the two uses of it in the commandlinefu
