nmk··on More German than many Germans
Also, it's Danish, not German. :-)
nmk··on LiveView Is Best with Svelte
> I hope the next decade will be oriented around integrating stateful message-oriented (reactive?) programming into the mainstream full stack

Also known as MVC before Rails decided to redefine the term.

nmk··on Yuji Oshimoto: Best viewed with Netscape Navigator 4+ or Explorer 4+
Man, this brings back memories: I was visiting this and k10k.net daily for inspiration.
nmk··on A list of headless web browsers
FileReader support is not fully implemented (addEventListener is not present). Just ran into this last week.

There has been an open issue for this for three years[1].

nmk··on Prolog for Programmers
If you are looking for an on-line resource nick_dm's suggestion for http://www.learnprolognow.org/ is spot on.

If you would like a book, I cannot recommend "The Art of Prolog" by Sterling and Shapiro enough. It gives a very understandable introduction to the language and is focused on teaching you how to approach different problem spaces while "thinking" in Prolog.

nmk··on Want to keep track of gem updates? BundleWatcher's got your back!
What is the added value beyond what `bundle outdated` does?
nmk··on The all-new Basecamp is live

nmk··on Vim-powerline: The ultimate vim statusline utility
I would be interested in a patched version of Monaco as well.
nmk··on Silk (Haskell-based semantic web startup) raises seed funding
About a year ago, they claimed they were developing a web-based editor. That is some significant focus shift.

Does anyone have information on what triggered it?

nmk··on Natural Language Processing in Prolog
A much more recent and complete book on the same topic:

nmk··on Bootstrapping CC (for OSX, using Homebrew)
Regardless of XCode 4 free or paid, it would be nice to have a compiler separate from XCode. Installing the whole IDE you never use has always seemed like an overkill.
nmk··on The New Ruby Ecosystem
GNU Smalltalk supports both file based and image based development. Exporting source files is no means to an end — image based development is not widespread because it forces people out of emacs and vim.
nmk··on Finally, a Moscow Metro Map that deson't look like a Soviet relic
Another recently developed alternative by Ilya Birman:

And another one by Viacheslav Ilinskov:

IMO, both are better as far as the aesthetics of the connecting stations is concerned.
