I'm surprised nobody said a word about stumpwm yet (http://stumpwm.org). It's a lisp window manager built with the mentality of rat poison.
The great thing about it is how it integrate with emacs/slime. For instance, let's say you want to close all the windows from the second/third workspace, you write the code in emacs and evaluate it in the context of stumpwm.
Why is there a link to python's documentation on HN frontpage? I mean, it's not like it's a new release or, wait for it, was anything new.
Here are some others:
- Python/C API Reference Manual http://docs.python.org/py3k/c-api/
- Higher-order functions and operations on callable objects http://docs.python.org/library/functools.html
- Google http://www.google.com
Actually, it's very well explained in one of the "Effective C++" series.
IIRC, when calling a function, the compiler first looks at the name and only then will try to match the parameters (and choose the right function if there're multiple ones).
So, in that case, it tries to find a function with the name "func" in the Derivate class.. it finds one. Then, it tries to call it and fails because it has the wrong argument. I.e. It won't look at the Base class since it already found a function with the right name.
TL;DR: First = search by name, Second = Match parameters.
I haven't applied this year but I really hate that rejection email. I hope one day YC could man up and tell why it was refused rather then giving a "You don't need to get in to create a successful business" bullshit. Even if it's only one sentence.
I feel like not doing so is really lacking respect for the teams who put hours filling it up. Add on top of that the fact that some demos are not even tried.
As some people like to say, applications are only for the people who didn't find a better way to get in.
1. How did you manage to get all these awesome resume templates?! That's fairly impressive for a one month project.. I could have had only one of them and I would be proud!
2. There's no talk about the 10,000$ in the blog.. where does it come from? Is it 100 sales? Is it less but with more urgent need (For instance, clicking "1 day" or "custom color").
3. About the process of converting the html template to a pdf.. how does it work and how good is it? For instance, is it a simple html->pdf which could give ugly conversion or end-of-page text to be displayed wrongly on the next page?
And as a suggestion, it'd be interesting to give a demo of the cv. For instance, I'd enter my data, it'd show me the resume but with a clear "Demo" written on each page of the pdf.. or something similar.
I know I'll probably get down-voted but.. isn't it unfair to take a new job and get away for 6 months for parenting purpose? And what about being lesbian.. why would a company not hire a women because of that?
I don't know, I somewhat believe that once you put something on the web, be it facebook or not, it's now public. Yeah, on my facebook I have pictures that I'd rather not show to any employers but if they choose not to hire me for that, I'd rather not work at a place like this.
But, while writing this, I kind of realised that not everyone is in my position.. and not everyone is as open minded to accept homosexuals.. so I guess I understand what it's unethical.
I'm an avid reader but was disappointed with the dragon book. I felt like once finished, I still couldn't write a simple interpreter! I guess it's a good reference.. or maybe a second book, but that's definitely not the best book to get started and learn compilers.
I did actually read The C++ Programming Language when I was in high school.. at that time I thought it was a very important book. Now, with the insight, how dull it was and useless!
After standing on the landing page, I really wasn't sure about what it was about. I decided to signup to try it out but there was clearly too much fields. I'm an asshole, I know. I'd suggest making the font bigger, cutting the text to a strict minimum, providing a Demo page or an example of a diary and finally making the signup way smaller (or even better, let the user start to write.. and let it create the acount later on).
I downvoted you mostly because I wasn't sure why you were talking about making Python exercises into a Javascript emulator/learner tool when the thread is about Perl.. but then, I wanted to cancel my vote but was unable to.
Wow, I just got nerd chills while listening to that video, great idea and awesome execution. Where it will shine is when you'll be able to follow a 5min tutorial and create a "Quake" and invite your friends to play your game.. while letting them hack their own characters, edit levels and add more original features to the game.
Interesting article. I like the provocative asshole.. with a nice conclusion at the end specifying that people are just busy and not being direct is just non-respectful to your audience.
I find this to be over kill but I see the point.. as if you're always trying to make "good" commits you kind of lose the "get all the shit done" mentality as you have to separate everything in smaller ideas.. whereas it's faster sometime to really hack lots of thing and commit, and then at the end cleaning stuff.

Sadly, it's not enough for me to switch from the ipad1 to the ipad3. If there was a way to have a reduced prize by trading it with your ipad1, then maybe.. :) Still, I wish there was something more to it..
The great thing about it is how it integrate with emacs/slime. For instance, let's say you want to close all the windows from the second/third workspace, you write the code in emacs and evaluate it in the context of stumpwm.
