pg "master of the straw man" I sure wish he'd stick to technical stuff. The combination of arrogance and ignorance displayed in that essay is a bit too much. I'd be a lot happier if he'd release another version of Arc than to peddle this dr

Yawn. I'm getting rather sick of Zed - whether it's his toddler tantrum tirades, or this jumbled, rambling brain dump. "The truth is: Any language that's Turing Complete and supports enough language features can solve any problem." Really?

Are there any folks using RSS for Hacker News out there? I'm surprised there isn't more demand for displaying the points in the RSS feed.

Wow, in light of recent Zed events, I think I owe you an apology! That must be one heck of a grapevine.

Hard to say what would be a good reason for you, but I had used vim for a couple of years and really liked it. I still like its conciseness. I became interested in emacs because of the good support for Lisp w/ slime, etc. Plus, I thought I'

I recently switched from vim to emacs. It's so easy to extend with elisp functions, and the buffer handling & directory editing is great. Not to mention ecb, etc. I still like vim, emacs just works better for me presently. I did have to

"Couldn't you write some standalone scripts to run from the commandline to insert new posts into your blog?" As someone mentioned in the comments on that site, there's no need to write special scripts for this - using script/console does th

+1 I'm surprised this feature doesn't exist. I don't have many saved items yet, but I would think it could clutter up rather quickly.

Would you mind elaborating on the persistence a little? What is the granularity of persistence? For example, does each submission get written to its own file with associated comments? Do you utilize a memory mapped file? Inquiring minds wa

Yeah baby! I missed one true/false Ruby idiosyncracy, and that did the trick :)

Oh yeah, Ruby has a slightly different interpretation of true/false, so I changed while(z) to while (z != 0) - likewise with if. No help though :(

Looks pretty close to Ruby: 1) remove semi-colons 2) replace a = b - - with a = b followed by b -= 1 3) while (z) { .. } with while (z) ... end However the if modifier (if it works as in Ruby) doesn't work out very well. I haven't touched P
