   I was afraid that would be a pain for people, sorry! You're right, I need to do this. There is a reason, which is that the exact same repo does double duty as the webpage (via Hakyll). It's super convenient because I have hakyll process the

   When I was brave enough to test outside of urxvt and iterm2/terminal.app, it seemed that terminal emulators are all over the place in terms of background color support in vim terminal mode. You might have tried this already (and it might no

   I hope that doesn't turn too many other folks off from the page and colorscheme. It may sound like a pseudoscience blurb, particularly if you aren't a color geek, but I sure didn't intend it to. It's all technically relevant and (I thought

   fwiw, there is a high contrast option in the vim colorscheme (let g:solarized_contrast="high"). I'm working on cleaning up some of the build scripts that generated specific files (the mutt directory has an ugly shell script as an example, t

   Thanks very much. Looking back at my early hg repos on this project I refined it for about six months. As an aside. I have a nominal post in my head contrasting the development and refinement of a colorscheme like this vs the infamous 41 sh

   And for those that don't realize, the OP author also wrote up git subtree, which pretty much caused me to take git seriously and change from hg to it.

   I recently discovered Hakyll and the DSL sold me. If you can hack on an xmonad config, you can build an amazing site with Hakyll.

    I'd like to find out if this uses google's two factor auth (if you opt to use your account passphrase). A second issue: encrypted arbitrary note data I use lastpass right now along with yubikey for two-factor auth. Pretty nice.

    I've been using this two factor for a while via google apps for business and there are multiple failover options: 1 - hard copy code printout (optional) 2 - failover to secondary phone (optional)

    I have a ThinkPad x100e with Arch Linux on it and am planning on moving to the new x120e. Think of it as an open source macbook air :) Small, powerful, replaceable components, user serviceable, etc. I have several macs but I'm more than hap

    I'm on a 16:9 ratio "notbook" (ThinkPad x100e) and with xmonad set to split a two-up view at the golden ratio, I get a 80 columns on the left pane (for certain values of Terminus). Love it.

    1) I'd tell Dropbox you think the team pricing is too high and/or propose an alternative SOHO price point. They seem to listen. 2) I use Dropbox for personal use only and subscribe to the 50GB account. That being said I have also used Uniso

    I've been trialing both etacts and gist for a while and really preferred much of what etacts was doing, particularly the more sensible time-since-last-contact reminders, etc.

    I don't know how most people find out about YC these days (the channels are certainly different for investors vs developers), but you are probably right that HN is not the first time they hear about YC, though it may be the first real conta

    HN is already monetized. It's one of a couple effective vehicles for YC awareness. I have no doubt that many applicants first encounter YC via HN. That's a radically different monetization model than you might be thinking of, but many other

    Haven't tried evilwm, but the reasons you list for liking it apply also to XMonad, which I use and love. I've tried awesome, wmii, dwm and a couple other tiling window managers and XMonad is by far my favorite. Bit of a learning curve if yo

    I enjoy RWR, but it's a bit sensationalist to use "seize" in that headline when what they really mean is "access" and by access they mean "access after explicit permission has been granted." I do think there are issues to be addressed, and

    Agreed. Having worked through Euclid with letters (in class, often out loud, mind you, so that may skew my imagination here) I really cannot imagine that colors enhance the process at all. I wouldn't be against colors in addition to letters

    Of course TED is elitist. Not elitist enough anymore for some of the founders, trust me. Looking in from the outside it may seem that attending TED is simply a chance to view live the talks given there (many of which are informative and gen
