scope is the context in which a method executes, it sets the value of 'this'.

Hey Tim, I'm using the WP Syntax plugin. I think it is resolving the formatting issue. You can grab it here

Hi Louis, thanks for providing your perspective. I can appreciate that Friendfeed hasn't fulfilled it's potential for some folks, though I find myself using it more and more everyday.

To the hispters comment.. I have definitely heard hipsters make the exact same argument about bands once they get big and I continue to stand behind it being an accurate comparison. I'm certainly not suggesting that early adopters aren't necessary, but there is a danger with relying on them for long term growth.

If the folks who made my cable box spent even 1 second debating the 'halting problem' and not writing better code that doesn't leak memory, I can see why it needed to be restarted :)

But seriously, that is an interesting issue. As we move forward in time, it's more and more likely that programs will never halt as they are integrated into our daily lives and routines. Though I would have a hard time proving that mathematically. Regardless, we are becoming more and more dependent on the software that powers our lives.

Humans may rest, sleep or relax, but that only halt when they die. Luckily for software, it can be restarted.

Re: Know the language? Why bother

It's definitely true that when it comes to civil engineering, the construction is a critical component. But in those cases, there isn't a worry that another company is going to come along and "eat your lunch".

If the product never ships, there will be no site to enjoy... or ever come back too.

I'm definitely not suggesting that if you know how to write it correctly, you should be lazy. But if you can bootstrap and achieve solid results, whether or not the code is perfect is secondary.. it's personal.

Re: No-Follow Enabled On Disqus WordPress Plugin v2.04

gregory — Wed, 25 Feb 2009 00:18:03 -0000

thanks giannii, you need to update the page in wordpress then: http://wordpress.org/extend...

In the right column it reads: Compatible up to: 2.6.1

Re: No-Follow Enabled On Disqus WordPress Plugin v2.04

i agree, this hurts legitimate commenters more than hurting spammers. I'm not ready to ditch disqus yet. But would really like to see better action taken. Can't disqus tie into Akismet?

Also, this latest plugin is only tested to wordpress 2.6.1? I hope this is a typo in the release and disqus means 2.7.1 (the latest)

Finally, wondering if disqus had a chance to fix track backs on wordpress. I spoke to a developer a few times about it and i'm more than happy to help and let disqus use my blog as a test-bed.

thanks!

excellent post! I bug dan kantor about this all the time and insisted on a non-blocking async js loader for the Wordpress version. That said, for most people, they want to paste in one line of code. Check out the wordpress version currently in beta
