Do you use it? How do you like it? (I visited the archbang.org site. After about 5 minutes of browsing the wiki their server started throwing 500 errors. I assume due to high traffic.)

[edit] It seems to be working again.

So, it will take a 'snapshot' of the page that you can markup. This snapshot will disable dynamic features of the webpage but still allow links to work. I wonder if they are talking about halting DOM manipulation, or JavaScript execution. Seems this will definitely create new classes of QA test paths.

I suspect that Facebook still wants to know that some letters have a different case than other letters. If They just converted all letters to uppercase then that information would be lost.

Well, just made it to the next chapter where you talk about AST. :-)

Thanks for writing this. I find your writing style to be very easy to follow. I've wanted to play with a toy language for some time, so I'm very excited to dive into your book with both feet. I'm working on Windows and am up to chapter 6. Very enjoyable. The only suggestions I would offer is perhaps to mention that AST stands for Abstract Syntax Tree. It seems this book is targeted to less experienced programmers, so it may be helpful to mention what AST means in this context. Thank you for your hard work and willingness to share your knowledge.
Re:IRS Says Bitcoin Is Property on Tuesday March 25, 2014 @03:10PM (#7468169)
I can't tell if this is good or bad. But, does it strike anyone else as odd that the IRS ignores that bitcoin _is_ actually currency? Can they even declare it to be property when the reality is that it is currency?
This reads like an article from the Onion.
If this is for development, is there a reason to not run it on your dev machine?

I'm there with you. I have to have music while coding. Thanks for the list of new (to me) music.

Thanks!

Ask HN: What are the rules for posting?

After lurking around HN for a few months, I would like to contribute to the community. Are there any rules for posting to HN? Is it considered bad to post my own articles about the web and application development?
