I am from Chile... live on Santiago though, far away (2+ thousand KM) from the North. AFAIK there have been no casualties. People have been evacuated from the coastal areas all over Chile (even in the south for precaution). Cheers.

Yes, ruby has a strong smalltalk foundation (messages & runtime). Thus it makes sense to compare the roots of both langs in the way they interact with messages & the runtime.

AFAIK Objective-C does indeed have dynamic features. It's also static & weak. So I already have a problem with the first line of the article: > Ruby and Objective-C look like opposites: one is dynamic, the other's static; E

I'm on Digital Ocean, for the money my server didn't have any issues handling being in the Top posts of HN for several hours... I'm serving static HTML generated by Octopress.

The Angel Hack in Chile was the same thing earlier on this year, I dunno if there was a lot of money on the table, but still the winners had the app done from long long ago. I would love to force devs to use git and implement a true hackath

Do you happen to have a source for this (genuinely interested) :)

That's what I think too, they should state MySQL/PostgreSQL or something like that in the calculator though.

by MrGando 13y ago
I think that the 'simple monthly calculator' hasn't yet included PostgreSQL instances?

You are wrong. Check the prices of Apple stuff in Argentina or even France. Hell, in Chile it's 20% more (and it was 100% more in the past, has gotten better now). Cheers.

You mean the pre-expansion Diablo 2, I agree. I'll give it another shot when the expansion is released. I played D2 for 10+ years... waited for this piece of crap to be released. I think now, there's hope.

I did mention Carpalx, but not your exact link in another comment.

Yep, I agree. When I invite people home and leave my MacBook playing my music, there's always someone who want's to go to Youtube and switch my music... Colemak totally avoids that from happening.

by MrGando 13y ago
That's really cool, I should file a radar (not that it matters) in Apple's radar so that they make Colemak available on iOS.

In my case, I was experiencing pre-tendinitis symptoms (know them well as a piano player). All of those where gone after switching to Colemak. My advice, is to switch before you start experiencing those symptoms. Cheers!

In my experience switching back to QWERTY is not terrible, it's actually quite simple if I can look at the keyboard (can't really do touch typing on it). My speed is much faster than 30 though, I'm guessing I'm around 70

I totally agree here, when you are programming it doesn't really matter if you type at 150 WPM... it's all about ergonomics and movement economy (IMHO).
