buugs | 12 years ago | on: Sublime Text 3 - Build 3059 released
More frequent releases, and quite stable.
You do need a Sublime text 2 license though.
buugs | 12 years ago | on: Ask HN: Friend is blind and programming genius, wants to learn math
I know most universities have an accessibility department which might make it easier to take a math class than trying to read a book with obscure concepts.

A lot of thin fonts look bad in Windows especially chrome. So you could probably make a safe bet that if a font is thin on OSX then it will be much thinner (sometimes unreadable) on Windows.
If you want to use thin fonts only use them for the titles (but even here it looks like that causes problems).

Is it rude to name your program/repo god[1]?
Is it rude to use foul language[2]?
Is it rude to write code in something that isn't ruby?
Who decides whats rude enough to be taken down and what isn't? Why should I believe my text is safe when someone found another text rude enough to be taken down.

If actually static (just html and other static files): S3 might be a better choice.

So it works similar to trading.
So if you want $1million dollars at $700 per bitcoin you would have to find a market with enough people to buy at $700.

But It probably is location dependent, I live in more of a rural area.
buugs | 12 years ago | on: Australis is landing in Firefox Nightly
I also prefer the way firefox acts with suggestions in the search and address bar being separate, I often find myself messing up where I meant to go because I thought pressing enter would take me to a site but instead goes to a search.
Firefox is easy for me because the address bar acts differently.
buugs | 12 years ago | on: Ask HN: Building a blog
Self hosting WordPress is usually a good option but if money is a problem it will mean more work managing your install, if money isn't much of a problem take a look at the many managed hosts (wpengine, wpsynthesis, zippykid).
You also get more options with theming and plugins if you host WordPress yourself.
If you just want to blog, a free wordpress.com, a blogger blog, or a tumblr should all serve you well enough.
You might want to invest in your own domain name though, as *.example.com isn't the best way to bring people in.

This is more like refining an octagon into a wheel without having to pay rights usage.
buugs | 16 years ago | on: SciPy - the embarrassing way to code
In other words rather than become embarrassed after realising a months work boiled down to just a few lines think about how much you learned to get to those few lines.

An inclusive list could be described as an exhaustive list.
Email clients hide quotes by default and also quote by default.
People don't treat email the same (who has the time to summarize/edit the quote anymore).
Gmail has made top posting the default which means most users will top quote.
Threading is a bit better.
Feel free to continue bottom posting but remember not to quote the whole damn thing and remember to keep the quote short enough that I hopefully don't have to scroll down to see what you added. I personally find top posting easier to follow with modern threading.
