That said, my being in the wrong place doesn't change the fact that startups and capitalism are both lame and evil and retarded.

I think you should still consider and perhaps respond to the point instead of just discounting it because its out of place.

I certainly did. I started with HN when I was messed up and depressed and wanted to fill my mind with crap that was completely contrarian to everything I believe as a form of self-destruction.

Every once in a while there's something important that I get from HN, which is why I've kept coming back since starting to get better. Some time ago I decided it really wasn't worth it, and I haven't yet quit because I'm just on auto-pilot and come here when I'm bored. I'll get around to quitting soon though. Thanks for the reminder.

If anyone thinks serious academics will adopt something stupid and flashy like this in place of "old-fashioned, dry PDFs" when it isn't even free or publicly specified, they're seriously deluded.

Fuck start-ups and capitalism.

The GNU GPL.

It allows you to share your code with other people who share their code, but not people who don't. Afterall, why would you want to share your work with someone who doesn't share theirs?

Great work, thouGh. Seriously, nice job!

Are you aware of [http://www.shellcheck.net/]? Its pretty slick, and you may be able to work wit tat a little bit.

It seems to me that the differential between those who know what a bookmarklet is and those who know that you can see everything in the settings menu is very small. So you're not talking about a huge effect here.
Re:Wait.for: Sequential programming for Node.js (beta) on Thursday August 22, 2013 @11:42PM (#6261578)
Right, but how the heck is this achieved? Could you show a line or two of example pseudo code that demonstrates the core of this functionality?
