rhdoenges··on Vim anti-patterns
Question for wiser vim users than myself: If I delete (say, a line comment) with `D`, how do I paste it as a line of its own without macro trickery involving `o<esc>p`? Is that possible?
rhdoenges··on Ryan Dahl steps down
This change is a sign of Node's shift from improving the core to making modules work better. I see it that way, at least. Isaac is the author of npm after all.
rhdoenges··on Building a Modern Web Stack for the Real-time Web
HTTP has always just seemed... clunky to me. I think it is the statelessness.
rhdoenges··on Abstract algebra for developers and people who hate math
This whole thing gave me haskell flashbacks. (That is a good thing)
rhdoenges··on What Mustache can learn from Clojure
I think mustache is at its core a reaction to ERB, which allows for pretty baroque logic in templates. Mustache goes all the way in the other direction (which is really not any better).
rhdoenges··on Python Facts
phew :)
rhdoenges··on Python Facts
> How can addition be more easier than this?

    print eval('+'.join(map(str, [1, 1])))
Seriously?
rhdoenges··on Cinder: open-source creative C++
not for linux. ;_____;
rhdoenges··on Ubuntu should zig to Apple’s zag
It seemed too bloated for me, so I switched to Arch Linux and dwm for my windowing. I hardly have to reach over to touch the mouse now and I feel like I control my own computer.
rhdoenges··on How Structs Really Work in C
ah, that's clever.
rhdoenges··on Repairing a dented tuba with magnets
Wow, that is a nice tuba.
rhdoenges··on I want to solve the uploads problem
Will this do anything that http://transloadit.com/ doesn't?
rhdoenges··on How Structs Really Work in C
Wouldn't the zero-length array potentially run into other memory?
rhdoenges··on Python is only slow if you use it wrong
...and java is slow if you use it?
rhdoenges··on Original source code to Metroid
Priceless:

    .alias RandomNumber1		$2E	;Random numbers used--> 	
    .alias RandomNumber2		$2F	;throughout the game.
rhdoenges··on How to Make Easy & Flexible Star Ratings
Why are the gists in a non-fixed width font?
rhdoenges··on Dennis Ritchie: The Shoulders Steve Jobs Stood On
John McCarthy was an excellent example of a tie-wearing hacker: http://www-formal.stanford.edu/jmc/jmcbw.jpg

(that is, incidentally, my favorite photo ever)

rhdoenges··on RIP, dmr
Something about C saying that is incredibly depressing. I cried.
rhdoenges··on Overtone
the apple2 screensaver is a thing of beauty.
rhdoenges··on Overtone
Is there a linux alternative to that? I want it incredibly badly.
rhdoenges··on Overtone
I actually asked him some time ago and he said (much to my disappointment) that he did it in post-processing.
rhdoenges··on Show HN: HackerThings - Products for hackers
Everything here is great.

rhdoenges··on Find is a beautiful tool
I use find for one thing and one thing only--listing all the files under the current directory. du works, but I prefer find.

    find | while read i; do grep 'foo' $i; done
rhdoenges··on The Brilliance of Dwarf Fortress
Dwarf Fortress sounds to me like nethack in its difficulty but unlike nethack in its endlessness. You can play all you want, but there will be no end!
rhdoenges··on ASCII animated donut in obfuscated C
His entire blog is a pure obfuscated goldmine. Just look at his footer:

    _=0;k;main(){while(_<641){for(k=0;"##K#8(38D-##C]L5870.X7\\M_b;90\\"
    "MC-M/NZGB6Q,I0VGB6a0FbN<VG.6Q\\bNb7^@`X=N@`XQaOVX:^]NX=:Z8PY]B`:>P"
    "NY8^$#SM):XA"[_/6]-35>>_++%6&1;k++);putchar(k[" _/\\\n,`)('<-"]);}}
rhdoenges··on Ask HN: What's a young hacker to do?
Thanks for the advice. I just now made a forrst, since they let you in if you have an active github.

Best of luck to you as well!

rhdoenges··on Ask HN: What do you use to host your Personal Site?
https://github.com/nicolasH/frankensteins/blob/master/___.sh...

You just grepped out each `echo` in the file instead of writing a usage() function? That's brilliant!

rhdoenges··on Create a Robot Image from any text string
also the robots in the source code!
rhdoenges··on Create a Robot Image from any text string
I love some of the alt-text on the robots. Very polished.
rhdoenges··on My spare time project, a simple weather site. what do you think?
I like the design, but the ads interrupt it, so maybe move those off to the margins. Other than that? Excellent!
