Absolutely, search on the body too. It would still make sense to add a (completely optional) "dup search" field, allowing the would-be submitter can make his/her own guesses at some distinctive terms from the submitted article.

But that's a different (if related) question, yes? (BTW, I wasn't suggesting that you aren't a conscientious submitter or that you didn't search before submitting.) We've both proposed that Reddit should do a search for possible dupes, using some broader criteria than identical URLs, and display the (top X) search r...

Thanks. I had written that for an internal wiki and turned it loose on infogami. It helped that mediawiki's markup and Markdown were similar enough to make the transition fairly easy :) If you want to see something neat then check this out. http://javascript.infogami.com/_history/sidebar

check out [the manual](http://ed-thelen.org/comp-hist/lgp-30-man.html) for the LGP-30 from 1957. It disspates 5000BTUs/hr (spec's at bottom of page). That's about 1500W/hr - no need for radiators in the computer room I guess!

Dupes are valid when the title in the first place was unappealing: "A Real Programmer He Was" is much less attention grabbing than "The story of Mel, a real programmer".

Under the language-specific improvements section: "C and Objective-C The old Bison-based C and Objective-C parser has been replaced by a new, faster hand-written recursive-descent parser." I hope they have a good set of tests for C and Objective C.

Objective-C++? That really just sounds like a lesson in masochism. The move from bison was a shock as well. Having compiled glibc a couple of times before, I'm pretty sure, though, that the GCC guys have a full suite of concept checkers as part of the build process when developing parser changes.

Definitely a nice article. Wish I'd had that two years ago. As it happened, I didn't discover the incredible utility of Javascript's OOP until I read up some of the articles on [Douglas Crockford's site](http://javascript.crockford.com/survey.html).

Maybe. The variance in markup could make this really difficult or prone to being labour intensive. The only way I see how this could be done easily without too much processing would be a sloppy hash for the actual text of the files and then collision checking.

It's especially unhelpful when, as in this case, the bigger problem (IMHO of course) seems to have been the use of EJBs rather than Design Patterns per se.

Actually, the best solution is to run a bayesian filter against the tag stripped version. Another good solution is to make a word rarity score and only pull the rarest words in the tag stripped version.

How would a byesian filter figure it out? I don't think it can do what we want. I don't think the rarity score would work either as it would be focused on jargon of a particular topic, I imagine. It might flag similar articles when it should be only flagging dupes and ~98% dupes. And linkjacks.

Having done quite a bit of searching, I can't seem to find a way to unbind/destroy arbitrary objects in Javascript. I've found myself wanting to do things like: unbind(document.getElementById('foo').onClick) and having to rewrite the interHTML of the enclosing element instead. This is a big problem.

Not really. It works around them to various degrees of success. Their method of including uses synchronous XMLHttpRequests which in my testing proved unoptimal.

I know how bayesian filtering works. It's good for automated tagging or automated subreddit catagorizing. However, I don't see how you can use it for duplicate post detection. I've got a discussion [here](http://features.reddit.com/info?id=2mgn).

Maybe I'm not to the curvy part yet, but emacs has a very nice underlying consistency. Everything is written in lisp (or appears as a lisp function and could have been), the keybinds have a great kind of self-consistency... C-x b switches to a buffer, C-x 4 b switches to a buffer 'in the other window'; C-x f 'finds a ...

emacs is great. it's odd at first, but after a few days, your fingers get trained to do silly things like hit control-y to paste. Then you discover emacs macros, dired, and customizable modes, and you never look back. some people even use it to read their email (the horror!)

First I thougt that how dumb it is to move the cursor with ctrl-p, ctrl-n, ctrl-f and ctrl-b since the arrow keys are just 10cm away, but after learning the proper use of them (and the meta-moves) can't really see why keyboards even have the arrow keypad ;) Since learning Emacs keys I have surpised how usefull those...

I feel the best way to market Python is to use Python (when no one is looking if it's an unofficial language). Unless the observers are braindead, the results can usually speak for themselves. There's a chance for exposure even to non-technical people, using combos like NSIS, McMillian's Installer and Tkinter to ma...

This seems kind of pathetic and sad to me. I don't think Python needs to feel threatened by "buzz" for Ruby (even calling it "the R language"). I like Ruby and Python but they're very different despite the superficial similarity. Why should they have to compete? Why should the success of one threaten the other?

Pathetic and sad? If you haven't noticed, Ruby is becoming popular fast simply because of RoR. While Ruby is a much better language than PHP, PHP itself (a pretty poor language) became very popular simply due to being great for making web apps. And at this point, it is the defacto standard for web apps, and thus it ...

This lead in is quite misleading. Guido posts twice and one of the posts he says "you'll have to do this without me" which is hardly joining in! Of course, he's right - there's no need to market python per se. Just implement applications that people love and the reality will sink in.
