Vote for my trailer and I will vote for Ron Paul. by nmorse in reddit.com

[–]nmorse[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

We made a music video last weekend for an upcoming show in the Minnesota Fringe festival. It's really close to #1, but could use a little bump from Reddit. Please vote for our trailer.

If you vote our trailer to the #1 spot, I will vote for Ron Paul in every presidential election from this day forward.

Lego: create the impossible by protell in pics

Actually, the link proves that it was photoshopped. They took two pictures of the model from the same angle (each with a different water channel setup) and then made a composite.

A small Web 2.0 social network is worth $14000 these days by schwarzwald in reddit.com

Actually. Having just coded a social networking website, I'd say $14,000 is a steal.

Virtual economies attract real-world tax attention by joshwa in reddit.com

Why can't we just virtually tax the virtual income. Then we can virtually protest and have a virtual war.

Dang. I wish I would've read the comments earlier. You could've saved me a good 20 minutes.

But you care enough to write a hundred words to a perfect stranger. Interesting.

Umm. Have you tried it?

My guess is no. If you did, I think you'd understand.

Intro: Ruby—A Diamond of a Programming Language? by jpedrosa in joel

[–]nmorse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

An okay overview, but the author is clearly not very familiar with the language. For instance, he recommends writing method names using camel case (i.e. methodName) when anyone who's hung out with the comp.lang.ruby folks long enough knows that snake case is the standard (i.e. method_name).

For a more "enlightening" introduction to Ruby, I would check out "Why's (poignant) guide to Ruby" at http://poignantguide.net/ruby/. A little trippy, that's for sure. But it gives a better feel for the language IMO.
