This type of quick documentation about programming languages is what people need. Programmers that want to learn a new language just want to understand the basics without the need to reading endless pages of documentation. The best approach is some examples well explained.

    encouragement of curiosity.

I think is the most important element of learning. The curiosity, and the creativity are fundamentals. This remember me the TED Talk of Ken Robinson, "How schools kill creativity". It's the most viewed video of TED, and it's brilliant.

First that comes to my mind. Brilliant.

    It turns out, the light-sensitive chip inside the Game Boy Camera (it’s called a Mitsubishi M64282FP chip) is sensitive to infrared light.

Well, this guy understand photography a bit.

My opinion about this is: if you can't give a positive feedback about something, don't give a feedback. Have your post ignored by the community could be worse than receive downvotes. And if you only allow upvotes you only can share your positive feelings in the voting system.

Ok, no panic. Just move to Greenland.

Yeah, I read 2 or 3 books on Kindle for Android, but my biggest problem in reading more books, digital or solid, is the huge amount of distraction a tablet/smartphone provides.

This is in Petropolis, Rio de Janeiro, in a nature reserve.

Yes, this is a science theme park. Many practical experiments can be done here.

Well, I read since my my teenage years, but when I bought my first tablet I read less and less.

Goddammit tablets and smartphones, I liked to read!

In fact, the bands I suggested were from Brazil. ;-)

I don't remember where I found it, but wasn't from the original site, nor in funnyjunk too for sure. I did a reverse search in Google Images but return too many sources.

This is not my work. If someone find the author, please post here.

Ah, Walnut Creek cdrom. The good old times...

Amiga, Prodigy, USENET and Compuserve, all in 83's. Well, you had a master's degree in computer nerdiness.

llagerlof  ·  3878 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: Hubski Update: More search functionality

Good. I like these search functionalities. Exist some plan to use multiple search functions, like:

tag:hubski update comments:love

This should mean, search for posts tagged 'hubski' with the word 'update' in the title or description and the word 'love' in the comments.

People should change their passwords of all used sites. 2/3 of all Internet is affected, so do not wait for the warning e-mails from the services you use. They could never arrive. Just go and do it. Remember, focus first on what is most important for you, like bank accounts, e-mails and notebook-sites alike. The chances you, as an individual, being affected is low but why risk?

llagerlof  ·  3879 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: Hubski API (and rate limit for scripts)

I was thinking to create a simple Android app to access hubski. In the beginning of Google Plus I made a website that parse the pages of GP and filter the hangouts, before the release the APIs. I finish the project but was too much work to keep updating the parser every time Google were updated. I will wait for the Hubski API.
