  1. Just got my ticket for #nerdlearn: guestlistapp.com/events/106815 Come out Wednesday, June 6 and learn about scaling apps in the wild
  2. @ParseIt Awesome to see JS support. Especially love the ACL. But what about data validation? Any way to enforce validation server-side?
  3. @gmarik Just updated vundle recently and saw the animation on :BundleInstall for the first time. Awesome!
  4. @ampersandy I read &y->andy as C++ =_=
  5. @jack_neto Objective C or macruby?
  6. Woohoo! My first hackernews frontpage! (and with an outrageously pedantic technical post at that!)
  7. An Argument for Mutable Local History: jamie-wong.com/2012/05/25/an-…
  8. @psobot To be fair, there are a few websites that would be satisfying to punch
  9. @psobot You should make an obfuscator that replaces all your variable names with wub, wuB, Wub, etc before you open source this one :D
  10. Have a commandline #python app that's crashing? ipython --pdb script.py to invoke the ipdb debugger on exception
  11. @zmanji ipython ftw
  12. @dombort @emerson_lackey @theworkinggroup I chose the wrong day to work from home
  13. TIL about document.domain benv.ca/2011/3/7/subdo… Cool stuff #javascript
  14. Dealing with user permissions is where TDD really shines. No manual login/logout for every test run for me.
  15. @G_Mali Probably. Haskell uses \ because it looks like λ and <- because it looks like ∈ (and a whole bunch of other similar things)
  16. Just noticed that python's character for a function/class decorator - @ - is one thing being wrapped in another. Well played #python
  17. @kamens We should really change the page title for the blog posts so that it's not "About | Khan Academy".
