About design: why is not your main text width limited to 50-80em?

I see no reason to use additional mechanism. Why not use upvote? I'm upvoting stories so I could see them later (as ColinWright noted), why not create a page I could see comments I liked?

Comments, not stories...

I would really like to see comments I have upvoted... There are bunch of wise comments somewhere, that I have read, upvoted, and forgot.

None that I had pleasure to drink with :)

Could you add any contact info in your profile? :) There are not many people that know joys of rakija on this site :)

I have been using their service for Spanish for almost a year... Really useful for expanding your wordlist.

Really, could anyone handle more than a few layers at the same time? It is sometimes useful to know how hardware (I'm looking at you, L2 cache!) works, but even then a bit simplified version can do the job.

And from time to time there comes another layer on top of everything else, and you wish you could forget the lowest layer you know, just to not start going insane. Or at least to slow it a bit :)

I agree, but this should have been from the start, or at least from UNIX-Internet marriage. My point was little tongue-in-cheek, but I believe that during the years UNIX has got things that are not truly with their initial idea. Or little more interfaces than necessary.

What I like about UNIX: Everything is a file.

Except of processes.

And sockets.

And XWindows.

Is there a way to see all comments I have upvoted? This is one thing I would really like.

It's currently 4AM here, so I cannot reason right :) If I misunderstood your point, my deepest apologies.

Parent interpreter is not host, it is JavaScript. No one said that parent and child interpreters cannot have the same language :)

I completely agree with this:

It exchanges one form of duplication for another, not eliminates it.

The real "problem" is that textual code is generally one-dimensional in nature, but we are interweaving two dimensions of option combos. It's allegedly a limit inherent to textual code, regardless of paradigm used to write the code.

I'm currently thinking of language with "code" laying in database of sort, and text is just a view of real data. Of course, there would be some text serialization, but it wouldn't be the "true way" for programming it...

I write like David Foster Wallace

It's not my thesis, I just found it on net and it seemed cool.

I wish you good luck in your endeavor! :)

Or that pirating books is currently done by some subset that is not representative for general public?

This is extremely cool.

Only one thing I would suggest really - width of linked Stypi page should have some reasonable maximum width, something close to 80 chars. Otherwise, it is really hard to see where all changes are made when browser is maximized.

I was happy that Gerald Sussman shares my fear of floating numbers :)

(because I'm not alone, not because he's afraid)

[edit] clarification

If ordering is made by color&design, matching drops to O(n log(n)).

Again, with ordering, searching drops to O(log n)

I've read Solaris few years ago, and Ender's Game few months ago. I like both books and I do not see a reason for bashing EG.

Could you elaborate?

Maybe this could be interesting to you. It was done by Peter Van Roy, of Concepts, Techniques, and Models of Computer Programming fame.

OK... It's fixed now

The Amazon KINDEL Cloud Reader is live...

I have a folder on my USB flash with folder for bunch of papers I'm going to read.

I'm also writing in my cell phone references for later searches and reads.

But it should be optional for users to show or not to show their comments.

Or you could make scraper for saved stories, and ask few people you are interested in to scrap their stories.

I am/was quite a fan of SETL, so I'm going to keep an eye on this language...

But why are relational types limited only to be composed of primitive types?

If you look at graph, both future and past male sea monkeys were disastrous to female's health.
