A Quine Puzzle 11 years ago

It seams there are more than one solutions. Can we generalize a theory of this phenomenon?

Is Linkedin down? 12 years ago

I have the same problem here in Oxford. Twitter is down locally as well. Most websites except for google.com, youtube.com, facebook.com are down.

Maybe submarine cable is broken or something wrong with the servers.

I have one question, how does this syntax (the dollar symbol) work?

    $perspective:1200px;
Is it like "define" ?

First, because I made it on my own.(not important)

Second, if you examine the algorithm of http://www.hckrnews.com/, you will see that, the "TOP 10" only shows 10 news per day, "TOP 20" only shows 20 news per day. "Homepage" means those news currently on the homepage. "All" means to show all the historical news (mixed the good with the bad).

Is that what users what? No.

I, a user, want to read all those top 30 news which used to be on the front page over the last 12 hours while I was not able to access the Internet. You may notice that HN uses a new rank algorithm, the front page changes frequently. Some excellent news cannot stay long. I don't want to miss them. So, the cron can help me to preserve those items. Remove duplicates, list out the latest 100 news (or even 1000 news). You can add cookie to show the "last read" <hr> line.

I am also curious about what are the best ranks of those news. Then, I added that feature.

My code meets all my needs, the user's needs. Therefore, It is better.

True, don't know why. It seems that only the search engine is down

"A team of highly trained monkeys has been dispatched to deal with this situation. If you see them, show them this information"

This sounds really cool. But, personally, is it possible to design a "neat appearance" and more "future"? It seems no difference to other motorbikes in market. As a Superbike, it must be distinctive.

[Google+ growth-hacked their way to 170 million users,...]

It is just like a math expression: Google+ growth-hacked.

If "Yahoo!" can be inserted in this sentence, it would be funnier.

It would be better if there is no background images. There could be a line go through the webpage. By line, I mean a theme which connect each parts together, to make it consistent. Do not just show your skills, but use your skills to do something cool and meaningful.
