Personally, I think a lot of it is impressive, but the cube animation gets old really fast.

Compilers had quite a lot of programming - https://www.coursera.org/course/compilers

If you're in Australia, call lifeline ( 13 11 14 ) or they have a chat service at particular hours - https://www.lifeline.org.au/Get-Help/Online-Services/crisis-...

You know how I know you're 15? Light grey text on a white background.

I remember when I was younger and discovering ImageMagick - a perennial favourite for building little tools on top of.

> People don't really read things online, they scan. some things jump out, and only if you're very intrigued will you actually read the individual words. In fact, very few of you will even get to this line that I'm writing. The chances that you'll read each line decreases exponentially.

I only read that first sentence of that paragraph.

> Note that I've made all of my main points in the first sentences of what I've written. Did you even read everything, or did you just scan through and pick up on a few words? The attention paid to each line decreases exponentially as you continue.

Then I read this and went back through it.

I don't disagree. Although, I think CoffeeScript is more similar to JRuby than FastRuby.

I agree, and this reminds me of two other quotes.

I'm not seeing much of an argument against factory_girl (in unit tests) other than: it's not as fast as setting up your model by hand. And no description of the alternative?

Was there a particular part you found especially pleasurable? What made it more pleasurable for you to read than other writing?

" Judge William Alsup ended the discussion today, ruling that the SSO of the APIs is not covered under current copyright law — and dismissing Oracle's related claims outright. "

I can't wait for the .bash_profile tld to become available.

"Thanks to that team, folks in our side of the dev world now have an easy path into Git and GitHub, and can go about our merry way building things without ever having to parse what it was that you did in your second paragraph."

... except when github messes up, forces you to do a SSH key audit and then you're back to needing to know "scary crypto stuff".

... or when you try and use git outside of github

I can bump it up in the embedded player... It also helps to enable fullscreen on the player.

There's this: http://ruby.sadi.st/Heckle.html

It changes your class, then runs your tests to make sure they fail. I haven't tried it myself.

Yes, I think this is the first HN thread I've seen where jokes aren't being downvoted into oblivion. (And I don't think it's terrible! Fingers crossed that nobody tells me to go back to reddit)

"There should be one-- and preferably only one --obvious way to do it."

The android market (oops, i mean Play) has an option to require entering a PIN before a purchase is made.

I prefer this one https://github.com/saberma/shopqi/pull/409

Good thing HN hasn't gone mainstream.

"It is something of a commonplace to say that JavaScript is a Lisp or Scheme in disguise."

Has that really become common??
