Interesting project and congratulations. Seems like a simpler version of scssphp (and associated WP plugins based on it).

Loads of us use nano. Simple light editor without the overhead (read learning curve), of all the other big editors. Sure, I might not write code in it, but when I need to edit a conf file or two, both on a server, and my desktop, it really

This looks incredibly interesting. Open source, and pluggable too? Nice!

Ran into this problem a couple of months ago. Could not figure out why Docker would not install on a stock 14.04 bare metal server from OVH. Turns out it was their custom kernel. With a little flag in the corner giving the option to install

Prenups are strange in that those who are mature enough to get them, probably don't need them, and those who aren't, do need them. If I had my way, prenups would be a mandatory requisite for anyone applying for a marriage licence.

Document the vulnerability. Document your attempts to contact the bank. Contact your local[1] newspaper. Particularly one that is big on investigative journalism, and technology. A good hint is if they covered the recent SWIFT bank heists.

Sentences like this exist in other languages too. My mother tongue is Shona, and this would be a grammatically correct sentence. Vana vana, vana vana vana, vana vana vana vana. Translates to ... Four children, have four children, who have f

But Azer was right on the money. A request, by definition requires a binary response. A polite request, by definition, means that you can live (however badly) with either a Yay, or a nay. Kik's attitude (whilst claiming to be polite),

>>They are trying to protect US citizens from losing their jobs (or getting wages cut) due to a sudden availability of cheap labor. Mmmm. I hear you. Sort of. Your argument though, is not very different from the "women are taking

Can someone please remind me again why USians should have a god given right to jobs in the US? Or put another way ... should an accident of birth(place) be the most import decider on whether someone should get a job or not? I realise that t

I have been following this project, and it makes so much more sense to me. As another poster mentioned, going all the way down to the bare metal does not make sense to me. Or maybe I have lived through too many hardware upfrades to not want

Almost reminds me of the Lingua Latina method I used to learn Latin. You basically read a text that is totally in Latin, with occasional images to guide you. It starts off very simply, and gradually introduces new vocabulary and grammar. Yo

The Sherlock Holmes Museum is not located at 221b Baker Street. That address does not exist, but any mail addressed to it is redirected to the Museum, which is technically 239 Baker Street (since it sits between 237 and 241). They do have

I agree. Python 3 will not see significant uptake till it is the default on most distros. It is the usual chicken and egg problem. Distros won't upgrade if there is no reason to. In fact, many are reluctant to upgrade to 3.0 since it breaks

Ahh, I forgot to add the 'solution'. The 'sex' bit, will be marrying google search results with other sources, and breeding a search ranking algorithm specific to you. For example, the Facebook 'like' button could turn out to be very useful

I have been thinking a lot about this problem. If indeed it is a problem. Google is in the business of serving ads. The vast majority of those spammy sites display google ads. So, there is little incentive for google to change things just y

As a Zimbabwean myself, I would have to say that most of the posters here totally missed the point of the site. The site was not a critique of quantitative easing. It is a commentary on the Zim government's attack on a newspaper that dared

I wish I could upvote this more than once. I have been screaming for a long time, that the housing boom and subsequent bust were directly caused by government action. Thomas Sowell wrote a very interesting and insightful book on the subject

This is really bad maths. Imagine diagonal of X cm. Imagine screen so tall and thin, that diagonal approaches vertical. Area is tiny. As you swing same diagonal downwards, area increases. Till diagonal is 45% from horizontal. As you keep go

Another useful method of opinion getting I have found to be useful, is to directly beg/ask for criticism. "Please tell me all the bad things you can think about this idea." "Please tell me all the reasons you think this idea will not gain t

My biggest problem with most of the "I just need $1m" people I have met is twofold. One, most of them would have no idea how to use that million in a sustainable way. Take a look at all the lottery winners that end up broke. The article doe

I think it is a combination of many things. a. The curious will always learn. Books have been around for a long time. In the west, the books are cheap/affordable. Still you find many people that cannot be bothered to pick one up and read. O

I think the post should have been titled 'How I destroyed my startup by competing for the only girl in the office with my cofounder'. Small offices are no places for dramas. A bit different in large organisations where you are in different

I think it really depends on the type of product you want to build. My take on the matter is to learn just enough tech to be almost dangerous. Or put another way, you need to understand enough about technology to (a) understand that it is

The one good thing to take out of this is that Facebook made a measured decision, and ran with the best technology. So easily (as many companies do) they could have taken a 'not invented here' decision and run with Cassandra.
