Re:Show HN: Traverse JavaScript object graphs with jQuery

It certainly is - but with a much narrower intended scope of use. It's really not intended as a data transport mechanism for example. It's also homologous with JSON, XML is more flexible in its data representation. And finally, it makes use of HTML5 conventions, such as prefixing custom tags with a hyphen delimited string, data-* attributes etc.

You know what, could be "Aitch Fon" as well (the 5 starts with F, right?)

I've been awkwardly saying "Aitch Five Oh En" in my head, but my work colleague says "Aitch Son", which even though it's a 5 and not an S sort of makes sense given the relationship to JSON :)

You're wrong. A lambda can have a body. Compiles and executes:
new Func<string>(() => {
var foo = "bar";
return foo;
})();

Re:Amazon Now Selling More EBooks Than Real Books In The UK

I'm reading Speaker for the Dead on a real, physical book at the moment, after buying and reading Ender's Game on Kindle. Why? Because Amazon won't sell me the Speaker ebook in my region - but they're happy to sell me books 1, 3 and 4. Well done guys.

Re:Hello world in every programming language

I manage a repo that has the bare bones of a roguelike in many languages.
It's a little more involved than a Hello World in that it needs to handle input, output, state etc.
I could always use more languages if anybody wants to pitch in.

It's a computer in any sense of the word. The only difference between the Analytical Engine and what you call an "actual computer" is speed. It had selection, iteration and sequence, it had working memory and it could load data and instuctions from punched cards.

Re:Ask HN: Are ergonomic keyboards really useful?
on Tuesday November 22, 2011 @05:09PM (#3267616)
I have a 4000 and have been using various split keyboards (previously Belkin models) for as long as I've been coding. I've never experienced RSI despite spending most of every day at a keyboard, but as I never had it in the first place I can't say for sure that it's down to the keyboard.
The only disadvantage that I can see is that I'm so used to split keyboards that I find using an ordinary keyboard uncomfortable, that includes my laptop and netbook too, neither of which I do any serious work on without first plugging in an external keyboard.
