Right, I read 'naively' as 'natively'. Carry on!

What kind of problems are those? I would love to find problems, ultimately examples, where smart Haskell and c blends are superior to pure c.
Re:Show HN: my new app Timebar has a clever UI (I think) on Wednesday April 03, 2013 @02:51AM (#5484664)
Good idea! Two things:

- Spotlight searches makes it flicker

- Make it narrow for non-native (i.e. not only lion style) full screen aswell. It's awfully disturbing together with full screen iTerm, MacVim etc.

Other than that it's quite neat! I'd rather have it fill than empty though, maybe make that an option? ;)

Valid point! Can't believe it didn't occur to me ;)

Awesome work! Cheers airblade. One nitpicky thing though, why do you use "_" and not "-" for removed lines? Can't see why you wouldn't want it vertically centered!
Re:A protocol that can change the future of Social Networks on Friday January 04, 2013 @05:06PM (#5010248)
I don't agree, to me he makes a lot of sense. I'd love for the social web to be more focused on the future and activities rather than that of an old photo album capturing the highlights of everyones oh so interesting lives.

I think your response to c) is somewhat over simplified, facebook is definitely not what I want but i still use it until what i actually want comes along and people start using that instead.

Fix the encoding, add a favicon and change the font from Times and I'd probably use it :)
I'll go ahead and do a little research. My comment might've come out a bit blunt but there was no negativity implied. More of a partly sceptical tone as to where the seemingly hip term came from.

I'd love to discuss the good and the bad with the trait itself but I should probably do some reading first to verify that it's the same trait that I'm referring to.

Seeing as I have yet to read up on the matter I can't say that I do or do not have the trait myself. But from the little that I've come to understand I'd say it's highly plausible.

I'll continue to look into it, I find awareness of oneself's personality of highest importance and I always strive to learn more about why I do the things I do.

I've never heard of the term 'rage to master' but I've been told this behaviour is common in people with Aspergers Syndrome. Intense interests which takes priority in life only to be substituted with something else weeks, months or a couple of years down the line.

Maybe you can shed some more light on the 'rage to master' personality trait you're talking about?

Indeed, I can't say I recall its appearance at all.

I thought of this a few months back, glad to see it being done in such a polished manner! Looking forward to play more levels.

Make that OSX and Linux aswell. Screenshots aren't that hard to come by ;)
