"We’re the tortoises of the animal kingdom" ... That might be the deepest thing I've ever read. Also, here's Attenborough narrating this article http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=826HMLoiE_o

Perhaps Unity and Epic declined the offer.

"It's not clear to me how requiring programmers to pay to use something that was previously free will spark innovation." Steve doesn't understand his own article. The whole point is that they're changing for completely new functionality

The spammers make their money because they can "fake out" the system to think they're the honest money-making folks. None of this is any different than basic capitalism. Now this isn't an anti-capitalism rant, it's just an observation. Ri

Awesome! And again great work. The game was really enjoyable and the code inspiring.

Really organized, easy reading source too: https://github.com/mozilla/BrowserQuest Outstanding work that I'm sure is going to inspire a lot of people. Though I don't see a license file anywhere.

Events like this are the main reason why The War on Drugs™ is so dangerous for everybody. It's not the drugs or gangs killing gangs. It's the gangsters that live through it sitting on piles of money who now have the resources to expand into

Here's something constructive for all the haters. Snow is open source, seems with such a consensus it should be easy to get some people together and hack on a fork of snow that is more appealing to the masses. Or does the current PHP syntax

by user2459 14y ago
With a passion? Kind of over the top don't you think? Snow is just a tool like php is just a tool. We're all programmers just trying to make development easier for ourselves and hopefully others. I don't know how anyone can hate any aspect

"I am greatly annoyed when I have my code break because there's some space instead of tab or tab instead of space or extra space somewhere where it is not obvious." A good editor will show you that too.

I always figured it was because I had less other things to think about between me and the next morning. I could learn something and think about it a little while I was lying in bed trying to get to sleep VS trying to learn something and the

Definitely not free, but non-self-crippling. "Sublime Text 2 may be downloaded and evaluated for free, however a license must be purchased for continued use. There is currently no enforced time limit for the evaluation."

There is no certifying agency or legal standing. But the definition of Open Source from the Open Source Initiative may help you: http://www.opensource.org/docs/osd

Long story short, if a bcrypt exploit is found, you'll be sorry . So use http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PBKDF2 or http://www.tarsnap.com/scrypt.html instead. They're apparently better tested. I'm no expert opinion, but seems a bit unnece

"The blunder, which occurred because the police applied for the wrong type of court order..." Blunder my ass, sounds like abuse of power that, against the police hopes, ended up being checked.

This question lacks a lot of details, what tech is being used, how experienced the team is, what the build and deploy environments are like, what level of syntax consistency is needed for various reasons etc.. While many programmers are rel

It's all about scope. What you should do is read about scope in javascript and get to know it well. Then stuff like this will come naturally or you'll at least understand why people program like this and that it's not just some language pec

The sky is not the universe. NASA mapped(took pictures of) the infrared sky. Sensational title aside, it's a pretty awesome and humbling accomplishment. Plus, being NASA it's all in the public domain.

Personally I think _why's largest contribution to programming(or even culture) wasn't inspiring people to program. It was inspiring people to teach. We read his book and saw that teaching itself could be fun, wacky, and rewarding and it sto

This might just be the largest rich people problem I've ever heard of. Re-appropriating copyright doesn't need a justification, just continue to do it and stop pretending like you really care about the original artist more than they can bri
