This is almost 20 years old technology has changed a lot since then.

Email clients hide quotes by default and also quote by default.

People don't treat email the same (who has the time to summarize/edit the quote anymore).

Gmail has made top posting the default which means most users will top quote.

Threading is a bit better.

Feel free to continue bottom posting but remember not to quote the whole damn thing and remember to keep the quote short enough that I hopefully don't have to scroll down to see what you added. I personally find top posting easier to follow with modern threading.

Also be sure to check out the dev channel: http://www.sublimetext.com/3dev

More frequent releases, and quite stable.

You do need a Sublime text 2 license though.

It may be better to see if you can find someone who is blind and studied mathematics to some degree to see how to proceed.

I know most universities have an accessibility department which might make it easier to take a math class than trying to read a book with obscure concepts.

Test on windows?

A lot of thin fonts look bad in Windows especially chrome. So you could probably make a safe bet that if a font is thin on OSX then it will be much thinner (sometimes unreadable) on Windows.

If you want to use thin fonts only use them for the titles (but even here it looks like that causes problems).

The only reason this should be of any interest is that github took it down: https://github.com/FeministSoftwareFoundation/C-plus-Equalit...

Who cares if something is rude. Rudeness shouldn't be the deciding factor for taking something down.

Is it rude to name your program/repo god[1]?

Is it rude to use foul language[2]?

Is it rude to write code in something that isn't ruby?

Who decides whats rude enough to be taken down and what isn't? Why should I believe my text is safe when someone found another text rude enough to be taken down.

PHP isn't static but NearlyFreeSpeech has been a good host for me (cheap and easy as long as you don't mind ssh). They do have php and mysql if needed.

If actually static (just html and other static files): S3 might be a better choice.

I don't know about renting but perhaps check the return policy on a few websites (Amazon is usually pretty good) and try one of those after buying it and if you don't like it return it.

Except with tags you could probably have multiple groups for single posts rather than having multiple posts in separate groups (or subreddits).

You may not always say something novel or unique but I have enjoyed some of your posts immensely and if you aren't writing you may never write the next post that greatly affects someone.

Thanks for your writing, and sorry for your loss.

Yes, there was an instance recently where somebody did just that and the link to the article changed to the original link that was being commented on.

Netflix actually works through a special wine version now.

I'm not entirely sure but I think to cash in you would need to find willing buyers at the price you want.

So it works similar to trading.

So if you want $1million dollars at $700 per bitcoin you would have to find a market with enough people to buy at $700.

For me I receive packages by UPS unless that order is arriving on Monday then it is Fed Ex that delivers the package.

But It probably is location dependent, I live in more of a rural area.

Well in firefox you can't do searches like cache:news.ycombinator.com or site:news.ycombinator.com (Edit: in the address bar)

I also prefer the way firefox acts with suggestions in the search and address bar being separate, I often find myself messing up where I meant to go because I thought pressing enter would take me to a site but instead goes to a search.

Firefox is easy for me because the address bar acts differently.

Depending on how you want your blog to work (say you want to serve ads, or some other feature) you'll get stuck unable to do what you want with wordpress.com. [1]

Self hosting WordPress is usually a good option but if money is a problem it will mean more work managing your install, if money isn't much of a problem take a look at the many managed hosts (wpengine, wpsynthesis, zippykid).

You also get more options with theming and plugins if you host WordPress yourself.

If you just want to blog, a free wordpress.com, a blogger blog, or a tumblr should all serve you well enough.

You might want to invest in your own domain name though, as *.example.com isn't the best way to bring people in.

It isn't reinventing the wheel if you do it better.

This is more like refining an octagon into a wheel without having to pay rights usage.

I think the author is taking the wrong thing away from this, all those little realisations are things that if he comes across in the future he will have a better understanding of what to do.

In other words rather than become embarrassed after realising a months work boiled down to just a few lines think about how much you learned to get to those few lines.

It is technically correct English though, just not used as often.

An inclusive list could be described as an exhaustive list.

I like that python is trying to work with projects that have become large and essentially help support it, hopefully much good comes out of this like libraries being upgraded etc.

For when you don't like your book, teacher, or need outside resources (I only used it for diff eq and linear algebra) but each is very well written and get right to the point

That it isn't compiled but is immediately transformed. (In regards to Emacs)

It is not so over the top it is playful it is just an purposefully eye grabbing title/intro paragraph to get attention

The undeniable proof of the blog posting: http://www.flickr.com/photos/dougerino/4077512246/

Blog posting of worse comedic quality than the actual mouse and if he is serious well then I fear for his logical thinking.

Really slow website for me.

Edit: so here is a site using it and the script that is used http://andrew-jones.com/2009/06/19/irrepressible-widget-from...

When you click on the widget you just get taken to the welcome page and it shows what site it is from and who censored it (not really easily seen I think it should be the center of interest).

Script itself:

   <script type="text/javascript">
   var irr_lang = 'en';
   </script>
   <script src="http://fragments.irrepressible.info/js/fragment-180.js" type="text/javascript">
   </script>

Interesting but I don't see it being much use only posting fragments rather than the whole thing.

It is really hard to notice but on this page: http://scoutapp.com/subscriptions there is note of a 30 day free plan if you look (or search) but you don't get the same kind of information as you do on the other plans.

    We also offer a 30-day free plan: 1 server, 3 plugins, and a 30 minute reporting interval.

I might be in the minority but I didn't know this about recaptcha and found it interesting as well as the pdf they provide: http://recaptcha.net/reCAPTCHA_Science.pdf

I am curious as to why you would hate matlab so much other than the clunkyness. EDIT: And of course cost/openness

Matlab works very well for many disciplines and the shear amount of documentation make it very easy to use for people who aren't really programmers. My main peeve with matlab is that to write a function it is required to make a separate file however most problems that are solved with matlab don't really need functions in the first place.

SciPy/NumPy and matplotlib can be nice to use but if I need to get an engineering problem done quickly I can find functions that I need much quicker in matlab and the matrix as the central object is very helpful.

Google!?
