Who is reading slashdot on a phone and why? If that's not a sign of addiction and/or lack of a social life, I don't know what is.

Fuck, next week is a new year. Resolve to take a bath and get some strange.

I shit you not: this morning, one of my neck beard coworkers did a command-line sql query ('select * from table') piped through cut, sort, and uniq. Because, hey, 'distinct columns, i, actually, want' and 'order by column' is too much work.

The point is, the best tool for the best job. Sometimes that's the command line, sometimes it's a text editor with regular expressions, and sometimes it's spotify.

Back in the day (archive.org is your friend), there were drop downs to select the threshold, flat/nested/no comments (wtf?)/threaded and sort order. Feeling nostalgic? kuro5hin is like a trip back in time...

Comments were paged (50? 100? 250? per page) and the threading really fucked up their multipage logic. (imagine a 10 page article where pages 1-9 are all page 1 and page 10 is page 10) At least they fixed that when they javascriptified.

For quick and dirty scripts, you can just define your methods and variables and not deal with classes. They're added to the main object, much like javascript globals and functions are added to the window object.

The US Constitution doesn't make it "illegal to use alternative currencies".

Please clarify:

-or- 2. We are having sex with bastards. The bastards need to get raped by a horse.
