A few notes as I read through this:<p>- Passwords are <i>still</i> just as broken now as they were then.<p>- Functional programming is still widely discussed, though the focus is more on Lisp than Clojure/Haskell/etc.<p>- Fourth post is the usual, somewhat sensationalist, <i>this commonly-accepted thing is bad!</i> sort of headline that makes the rounds here every so often.<p>- This post on syntax highlighting [1] reminds me of another recent one [2].<p>- 37signals is there with another sage-like statement on the business.<p>- Article on women in tech in slot #13.<p>- Woah, is that Clo<i>j</i>ure there in #14? And on SourceForge, even. It's come a long way since then.<p>- Fears about government invasion of privacy abound.<p>- Hey, MySpace! That spam "epidemic" never quite subsided, it seems.<p>- Interesting mathematical discussion in slot #24. When reading the headline, I almost expected to read "stackoverflow.com" in the domain slot. Goes to show how popular that sort of post is here nowadays.<p>As someone who wasn't around back then, it's interesting to look back on this now and see what the site I love now was like five years ago.<p>[1] <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20071110115358/http://drinkbroken.typepad.com/drink_broken/2007/11/syntax-highligh.html" rel="nofollow">http://web.archive.org/web/20071110115358/http://drinkbroken...</a><p>[2] <a href="http://www.kyleisom.net/blog/2012/10/17/syntax-off/" rel="nofollow">http://www.kyleisom.net/blog/2012/10/17/syntax-off/</a>
