cpdean··on The Best Marketing Method I Know
Meta. Telling you how he builds trust by teaching his audience. In turn he's teaching the audience. So he's building the audience's trust.

Recursive money algorithm.

cpdean··on Vigil: A programming language with eternal moral vigilance
Oh.

"If an oath is broken, the offending function (the caller in the case of implore and the callee in the case of swear) will be duly punished. ... it will be deleted from your source code"

Hahah, awesome.

Outsource-proof.

cpdean··on Vigil: A programming language with eternal moral vigilance
How are the `implore` and `swear` keywords different from python's `assert`?

Even the implementation looks like it's just custom error text for `assert`.

Why are all the interesting questions on programmers.stackexchange.com are closed for being "not constructive"?

cpdean··on Making Facebook's native mobile app faster using HTML5
I can't wait till node.js gets ported from its fringe-language to ActionScript. Asynchronous callbacks will make Flash run so much faster.
cpdean··on Microsoft to Developers: Windows Outsells Android, iOS, OS X Combined
I wonder how inflated the license count is from the armies of corporate machines where users can't actually install any app that a potential windows developer writes.
cpdean··on How is lazy evaluation in Haskell useful?
Whoa, did they just lift content directly off Stack?

I guess it's appropriate for an article on laziness.

cpdean··on HackerRank launches with 10 bot-vs-bot challenges
Is the fix to go to https://github.com/settings/profile and put an email in the field labeled "Email (will be public)" ?

How does Coderwall allow github signups without me sacrificing an email to the public?

cpdean··on Meet the new Light Table
+1. To quote the article: " I realized the other day that the only time I actually open vim now is when I manage to hose my instance of Light Table. "

True vim users can't work without their muscle-memory, so there's gotta be a vim-mode for light table, right?

cpdean··on Scripted: A JavaScript editor from VMware
Nothing compares to vim.

Brackets seemed like a viable editor to compare it to since it seems to target the same developer niche.

How does it stack against brackets? https://github.com/adobe/brackets

Brackets also targets web development and is extendable with html and javascript.

create a file, ctrl-to-esc.ahk:

  Ctrl::
  Send {esc}
  Return
Then run the script and AutoHotkey will sit in the background, waiting to substitute a lone ctrl for an escape-key-press.

I haven't figured out the shift-parens yet, unfortunately.

cpdean··on A Modern Space Cadet
but wait, this doesn't get at having shift behave normally unless it is the only key that gets pressed. Does it?

Tweets are now menstrual blood. Tampon helps you stock up on them.
cpdean··on Show HN: Tampon - an open source Buffer app
Sure, sure. But the logo is of a Tampon, the feminine hygiene product, so the connotation is in English.

cpdean··on Google responds to the Mocality blog post
tl;dr (kinda skimmed, correct me if I'm wrong)

Mocality is a Kenyan business that gathers and aggregates information about the businesses in Kenya to improve the economic state of the country through information infrastructure.

Google (or, apparently, a group contracted by Google) was mining their data and in turn (effectively) selling it. They were undercutting Mocality while at the same time claiming that they had previous arrangements with Mocality to do so.
