I did a rough translation of the templating part to slice (http://github.com/scottjad/slice)

Normally of course I'd split it out in to many smaller functions/slices.

https://github.com/TeMPOraL/timelapse is one option

Summary of the article:

The Universe could have been created without God therefore the Universe was created without God.

Not sure how much of the bad argument is the BBC's fault.

I think /best and /bestcomments go a long way. It would be really nice to have RSS feeds for them and a way to change the time horizon (per month perhaps)!

The biggest strength of PHP has always been that a non-programmer who already has an HTML page can start adding dynamic code by inserting a simple tag into their HTML file and continue working as they have been (edit the HTML file, reload page, repeat). That's the lowest barrier to entry of any language except maybe javascript.

If you're the kind of person who reads Diplomacy by Kissinger for an introduction to geopolitics or the Bible to understand christianity, then I'd highly recommend Human Action by Ludwig von Mises for a very strong understanding of economics. One of the best (and largest) books ever written on economics, you don't have to be of the Austrian school to get a lot out of it. It lays a strong logical and theoretical foundation and then considers issues in a very engaging and even entertaining manner for non-economists.

And it's available as a very high quality audiobook for free!

Don't ask for permission. Recognize the need for something important at work and write it in Clojure and often coworkers/bosses will be so glad to have it and not have had to write it themselves that they won't care what language it's in. Of course now you're responsible for it.

I also really like http://proglit.com/core-units/

More geared toward beginners, it covers basic programming concepts, C, Javascript, Java, Clojure, etc.
