It's possible that the vimium extension for chrome will give you what you want. The 'f' shortcut gives something similar to what you want.

But why won't they just work on a separate branch still sitting against the main git repo? So long as the internet is up it offers the same thing basically.

Functional languages describe the data instead of what you do to the data. This is game changing in perception.

Go read Learn Yourself a Haskell.

I have something of a young name which is also uncommon, not many people over 30 with it, when I was young I googled my full name and got only one result, today when I google myself I find a ton of people who are usually my age or younger.

There aren't a lot of people who are using my email, one is an older folk who uses it, and I always mean to contact him, and one was a DJ which accidentally used my email address instead of his.

People always say that good typography beats everything but I have yet to see anyone explain typography more than the "use serifs for this and use sans serifs for that".

That's 330 ppi by my calculation. The iphone has the same pixel density and it is very much good. I don't see the reason to push 1080 pixels on my tiny 4.5 or even 5 inch phone.

I've seen a lot of talk about how far Mono has gone in recent times but not much in writing. Do you have anything about the progress that was made? Blog posts, announcements, anecdotal evedence? I'm looking for stuff to show to the team so we could consider expanding our C# development to linux too.

The BCL is such a great tool that I am sometimes baffled by other languages heavy reliance on package managers like npm or gems to get basic functionality.

It is consistent, well behaved and while not complete, it is very solid. The only complaint I have are that it has some dark corners (System.Diagnostics come to mind) and the fact that non of the classes are easily used for testing and that I have to wrap a lot of basic functionality like file system access or the TcpClient to be avle to test my classes.

I don't understand why people dismiss XML like that, I use it a lot at my line of work and it makes sense.

We need the structure that JSON can't give us and other data markup languages are too obscure to teach them to everyone we work with.

There is one penis.

And some medical looking photos of men, all easily explainable so long as your workplace permits you to browse HN.

It annoys me that people can't keep their phones in working order, you have paid hundreds of dollars on this piece of equipment and you treat it like a piece of shit and in 6 months you complain that it doesn't work?? Maybe if you had treated it like the delicate piece of machinery that it is it wouldn't have broken.

It's a blatant disregard for money and it annoys me deeply when I see someone throwing their 5 inches of glass on the table without a thought.

It's not the amount as much as the lifetime.

I live in that ancient belief that you should be able to keep your phone functioning happily for 3 years, which is exactly what happened with my iPhone 4, by iOS 6 it became slow and kind of crashy but usable and it did everything I wanted it to (even if it didn't get all the new features like the new navigation or Siri).

But the main point is that it kept going for more than 3 years, and the Galaxy Nexus, a phone that was really expensive at the time does not get the new update just a year and a half after release. That's half of the lifetime I expect of a phone.

Very neat to find local trends. Try drawing a boom (immediate spike) at some point in time to find something that trended highly back then.
