It looks great, thank you. I think it’s great to introduce accessibility early, but wouldn’t it be a good idea to have a brief introduction to HTML before the accessibility section? Or are you supposed to read about HTML on MDN as part of section 01?

"Thinking, Fast and Slow" by Daniel Kahneman.

Amazing how much it means what time of day you post a story.

That is just a protocol relative url.

The commit messages. https://github.com/AndrewVos/github-statistics/blob/master/p...

Don't know about famous, but this guy seems like a one-man-army-programmer. http://www.losethos.com/

khingebjerg | 15 years ago | on: Can you name the Programming Language if You Know The Creators?

I thought James Strachan was the creator of Groovy.

khingebjerg | 15 years ago | on: "Please take this down and write your own book."

Perhaps because of the provocative title. I actually think that it shows even less class from martinemde, that he posted that himself.

Perhaps a middle ground could be using a virtual machine as a staging environment?

khingebjerg | 15 years ago | on: NoSQL: Comparing the Different Solutions

Why link to readwriteweb instead of the real comparison?

I can't open the "Coming Home to Vim" link, from the app. It just crashes. I have it setup to open the comments.

khingebjerg | 15 years ago | on: Ask HN: What Vim Plugins do you use?

If you watch the PeepCode screencasts "Smash into Vim", http://peepcode.com/products/smash-into-vim-ii, (I only watched part two) they have a .vim directory that you can use as a starter. Specifically it uses the pathogen plugin to organize the plugins into a bundle directory, which i find much nicer.

khingebjerg | 15 years ago | on: Clojure's edge on Node.js

In my eyes it's more structured, since it's all data structures.

khingebjerg | 15 years ago | on: Goodbye Tokyo Cabinet, hello PostgreSQL

I submitted it because I like reading about your experiments with your blog, and I thought others would like it too.

A person hacking on his own stuff, just to try out things, is hacker news to me.

You could use Thunar, it's lightweight and fast.

khingebjerg | 16 years ago | on: How useful is game theory?

Looks like the Colts are all over this, with 601 pass attempts vs. only 366 rush attempts, during the 2009 regular season. Has the head coach Jim Caldwell, or more likely Peyton Manning, been reading up on Game Theory?

khingebjerg | 16 years ago | on: Ideas for the new catonmat.net website

I don't think no. 30 is a good idea, I find it very irritating when a site does this. If I want to open something in a new window/tab, I'll do it myself.

khingebjerg | 16 years ago | on: Poll: What is your primary *nix distro on your home machine?

Arch on my netbook, quad core workstation and my Lenovo X300. Simplicity at its best.
