I didn't know Uriel or know anything about him, but I used wmii as my main window manager for quite a while around 7 years ago. It was my introduction to tiled window managers, and I haven't looked back since. Thank you Uriel.

In a perfect world, people will like the site, and return to it, and maybe spread the word to their friends :) I also have some ideas for integrating game-like features which would introduce viral elements to the site. I would love to hear

Thanks, these are great comments. 1) Yes, this is something I am thinking hard about. 2) Yes, points and gaming like features with player rankings are key here. I would be very happy to hear about more specific thoughts or suggestions. 3) I

jtv is similar but is for live video only. also, i plan on adding a lot more interactive features to the site. Right now all of the users in the room are able to vote for the next video. I hope this clarifies things. Several people have sug

My thinking behind this was indeed to somehow bring a TV feel to the web. But I am actually leaning towards adding even more interactive features to the site. We already have TV. And Youtube and other sites are already moving in the directi

1. The videos are embedded from youtube. They are hand selected. 2. Voice is an interesting idea, will think about it :) 3. This is a very good idea, and definitely something that is being considered. 4. The name doesn't really have any mea

I've showered at the beach with my nokia in the pocket of my bathing suit. It was fine. My nokia has fallen out of a moving vehicle. I drop it several times a day. It's been run over by a bicycle. The thing is a rock.

I was also going to post this. A must read for all programmers. You can overcomplicate things in any language. "The Evolution of a Haskell programmer" is brilliant. Funny and insightful at the same time. Make sure to read the bottom part: "

I'd also like to add that arrays are the foundational building block of an extension of Haskell focused on parallelism, called "Data Parallel Haskell" http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/GHC/Data_Parallel_Haskell

I don't have a source and I don't quite remember where I heard it. It's probably not true. Although this post from Lambda the Ultimate mentions a similar sentiment: http://lambda-the-ultimate.org/node/1905#comment-23217

The solution is to track mouse-movement/page-scrolling to check whether the user is interacting with the site. Also, is it possible for javascript to check whether the site's tab and browser window is viewable and in the foreground?

This question has been bugging me in my mind ever since I first saw this presentation back in 2005: What integer value in a game gets so big that it can potentially overflow a 64 bit integer? I've literally been thinking about this question

The problem with Haskell is that it is way ahead of its time, in kind of the same way that lisp was ahead of its time. lisp had high order functions and garbage collection, and now 30 years later all mainstream languages have these features

no, in the long run you are playing against a known algorithm (assuming you've read the code), and so: - in the case that it is a deterministic algorithm you should be able to win every hand - in the case that the algorithm employs randomne

What about functions of type A x B -> A ? An example would be C++ stream << operator which takes a stream on the left, a string on the right, and returns a stream (after writing the string into the stream). This is so that you c
