It certainly is - but with a much narrower intended scope of use. It's really not intended as a data transport mechanism for example. It's also homologous with JSON, XML is more flexible in its data representation. And finally, it makes use of HTML5 conventions, such as prefixing custom tags with a hyphen delimited string, data-* attributes etc.

You know what, could be "Aitch Fon" as well (the 5 starts with F, right?)

I've been awkwardly saying "Aitch Five Oh En" in my head, but my work colleague says "Aitch Son", which even though it's a 5 and not an S sort of makes sense given the relationship to JSON :)

But didn't most writing systems evolve from accounting systems?

The majority of people have a basic need to work in some form or another, regardless of compensation.

72k posts could be just a handful of active accounts. My own has 15k or so posts and I often don't touch it for weeks at a time.

You're wrong. A lambda can have a body. Compiles and executes:

  new Func<string>(() => {
    var foo = "bar";
    return foo;
  })();

    new Func<string>(()=>"foo")();

    (function(){return "foo";})();

It's obnoxious - and so is your manner of speaking to people.

I'm reading Speaker for the Dead on a real, physical book at the moment, after buying and reading Ender's Game on Kindle. Why? Because Amazon won't sell me the Speaker ebook in my region - but they're happy to sell me books 1, 3 and 4. Well done guys.

There is a grey line in frames 1 and 3 but not in 2.

Firefox 14.0.1, Windows 7 x64. Grey line is visible for a split second as page loads then disappears. EDIT: well now this is bizarre - it disappears and reappears as I scroll.

Because going to a private school gives your children the opportunity to network with the children of other wealthy people.

An interesting viewpoint, although I think the genetic evidence goes against it:

I thought the same until I saw that it was a research product/experiment. I think that makes it interesting and harmless rather than sad and misguided.

I manage a repo that has the bare bones of a roguelike in many languages.

It's a little more involved than a Hello World in that it needs to handle input, output, state etc.

I could always use more languages if anybody wants to pitch in.

It's a computer in any sense of the word. The only difference between the Analytical Engine and what you call an "actual computer" is speed. It had selection, iteration and sequence, it had working memory and it could load data and instuctions from punched cards.

Or looking at the other links, noting that the number in pkgpart=x increments by 2 for each package in the list, open the 2nd link and decrement by 2 to get the 64m package.

I have a 4000 and have been using various split keyboards (previously Belkin models) for as long as I've been coding. I've never experienced RSI despite spending most of every day at a keyboard, but as I never had it in the first place I can't say for sure that it's down to the keyboard.

The only disadvantage that I can see is that I'm so used to split keyboards that I find using an ordinary keyboard uncomfortable, that includes my laptop and netbook too, neither of which I do any serious work on without first plugging in an external keyboard.

I like that you can't type

Had better luck this time:

Great idea. Unfortunately all of the people I was paired with wanted to draw pictures of penises, scribble over the whole thing, or leave after 15 seconds.

I too would like to see a comments link, because without it this is useless to me, which is a shame, as it's otherwise very nice.

Yeah the whole thing around that is a bit iffy, it was a compromise I made because it's a little fiddly on very small screens (my phone) and I didn't have time to think about it properly.

Curious, as I didn't touch anything to do with cookies in the code. Perhaps browsers use the user setting for allowing cookies to also allow/disallow html5 localstorage, which the site does make use of.
