After the crazy dire news events of the last year or two, I was quite surprised by my experience in selling + buying last summer in Toronto's market. We listed our condo early on a Friday afternoon, and were inundated with offers and intere

Whoever brings it to market and gets it into a very large number of homes and businesses first at a reasonable price will likely claim the innovation trophy. Unfair? Perhaps, but energy inventions and technologies over the last several deca

Shai has been a media darling for quite some time now. This TED video is from last year. Are there any actual results to show yet?

This article is mostly a historical rehash with few-to-none specific points highlighting the "Good Parts" of Java. I was ready to read about them, and I personally know there are some very compelling Good Parts to modern Java, but the artic

Do you mean native SVG support of some sort or something emulated via the Direct2D stuff? Mainly I'm curious whether an actual statement has been made on this :)

I saw it mentioned earlier that one of the reasons they keep they keep the discussion private is to filter out general noise. Anyone who has been on these sorts of lists before knows that it can often become very difficult to conduct the bu

Interesting idea. I think the copy on your landing page needs some work. In particular, the intro paragraph ("Planergize is an online service that ..") seems a bit muddled. I wasn't sure at first whether your site was about plans, or about

Does anyone know how they manage to pack so much information about what's visible from every angle into each spot on the board? This seems like quite a step up from holograms that I've seen in the past.

Well, partially my personal ignorance with how that would work :) But also.. my team often has to break into pairs to work on sub-projects and new features, and it would be nice to have everyone on board rather than just a single person. Th

The article hits the nail squarely on the head. Git is pretty awesome, I love using github. From what I've seen of Mercurial, it is also mostly blessed the same awesomeness. Getting people to convert is a fairly big undertaking, though, and

I'm a consumer of cleaning robots, and I certainly care. I'm on my second Roomba now, and I love the thing to death.. However.. The fact that it bumps around randomly for a very long time while missing obvious spots can truly suck. Your Roo

I'd like to see some numbers showing how much of a difference in overall system performance was attained due to the changes he made.

With McGraw-Hill's CEO for all intents and purposes confirming this product to be real and running iPhone OS, I'll be very surprised, and saddened, if a shut-tight, app-store-limited device like this will lead to world domination. Are tight

There's more to this project than is hinted at by the "picture-driven programming" label. This scripting system is driven not just by pictures, but by screenshot snippets of the GUI elements that you want to click on / control. The language

That makes sense. You'd almost expect that every single widely-used project should have something like this (jQuery is a good example).

Some of these guidelines are pretty nasty and serious, some of them are very, very subtle. For example, when reading this rule: "5. Employ large amounts of legalese. Working with the project should involve complex contributor agreements, we

This is pretty awesome. In this screenshot he instantiates a WebKit instance in his Android/JRuby app: http://img.skitch.com/20100108-1nr5rj4y7dpw4spfr9sf5w3ui3.jp... Does anyone know if this would make it possible for a JRuby program to

Back in October I emailed Allan asking whether he'd be interested in the concept of a "Textmate Liberation Fund" that would compel him to open the source if enough money was raised. I think Allan deserves to be able to derive some income fr

Can you explain your comment about "mass defection away from MySQL"? Do you think that's something that's about to practically happen? Thanks.

I had a similar problem with my Roomba. Recently it began to bump into phantom walls where there were none, to the point where it would get stuck in the middle of the floor, turning around and around, stuck in a jail of invisible walls. The

Nice idea! You should let people drop in their RunKeeper user URL and scan their activities GPX data from there (it's all there). Quite a few people I know use RunKeeper for cycling now because it's one less device to buy/maintain/ride with

Thanks for making this also work in nodejs. I've tried Mustache and hamljs, and I'll have to give your code a whirl as well. (btw: Is it possible to call within a namespace, i.e. pjs.DIV( .. ), as opposed to DIV(..) ? Your examples seem to

In the linked article a commenter says that they were told by ATT support that the iPhone is unavailable in NYC due to "massive fraud".. Seems like the story people are getting is inconsistent. Can any HN'ers shed some light on this?

Are these pages being served up as 404s ? If not, that sucks. If yes, why would Google diligently index a 404 and strongly rank it?

Given all the speculation about "spending lavishly" on C-level executives and other such stuff, I wonder how much longer Twitter engineers can expect the soda to be free for? ;) http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1007750

Interesting work. Some questions: 1) Have you have discussed your work with the current ECMAscript committee, or interacted with them at all? 2) Why did you choose to focus on packages and classes? Why not other stuff along the lines of whe

Some notes: 1) I typed "G" to have a settler unit wander out into the wilderness and it founded a city on its own. That was unexpected. I'm almost certain I didn't have it in any kind of automatic mode. 2) It would be good if we had a stron
