Wow everybody serious on ycombinator. Can't even make a joke about Al Gore anymore.

Ajax started with Al Gore, without whom the internet would have never been invented :p

I tried Ubuntu 12.10 again briefly and was disappointed that intel HD4000 wasn't fully supported in 3D. Graphics is dog slow in Ubuntu on the same hardware. It looks like shopping spies still on by default in 13.04. I doubt I'll ever use Ub

These look like good moves. While Microsoft and Ubuntu are shunning their desktop users, Apple is making me look the smarter for choosing a company who still stands believes in a desktop OS :) FYI, I was a decade long Windows user who swit

Why did he color certain characters? It makes those chars standout which defeats the purpose of choosing a font for distinct shapes.

Just wondering how many people have actually installed Bing Desktop, Google Desktop or any other desktop search on Windows. Why does Ubuntu think their more discriminating user base need these SMART search features when the common John and

How do these CEOs make the noobest mistake? Know your customer base! JC Penney was never an upscale department store. Did he all of the sudden think it would become one with a stagnant economy? Common sense. I think this guy lucky with Appl

+1 Actually, things are stored in a few directories. It took a while to figure out where Sublime stores everything so I could write a dotfiles script for it. Having to set things up through Package Manager is a pain. Not sure why that's the

I just wish Sublime didn't have a mine of its own. It has a bad habit of rewriting my config with my comments removed.

Thanks for reminding me how cool my geocities pages were. Flat UI meh. I got the hammer with baloon pants bringing life to my page!

Not sure if Bitcoins are a good investment. All it takes is a western country (say Switzerland) to create an online currency and Bitcoins will sink faster than a Carnival ship.

I think some of us die hards push the pure vim way too hard. For example, while in insert mode `end` is easier than `esc A` `ctrl+home` easier then `esc g g i` ... Yehuda's advice isn't so bad. If the purpose is to be as efficient as possib

Competition is good. Nobody wants to be left behind by Google, so time for Apple and MS to step it up again.

These kinds problems can easily be solved with promises too. It would be even simpler if `fs.stat` returned a promise and there are promise libraries that do that. Promises is a small library I use, probably about the same number of bytes a

$1600, you woud think MS would be doing everything they can to entice developers, dbas and sysadmins by making these conferences free. They threw hundreds of millions away on the Xbox, why not invest in the the people that can save their em

Never noticed the arrow, and it seems I'm not the only one. The font weight and contrasting colors overpower the subtle negative space.

All I can say is DBase IV. If you don't innovate, you will get replaced. They're trying to do too much. Stick to your bread and butter.

I know some are salivating over this but it's still far behind the DevTools built into Chrome. For example, how do you inspect the DOM? How you do you look at generated runtime elements? How do you inspect cascaded styles? Why use two tools

In case anyone is looking for a more complete solution, search PlantUML. It supports almost all UML diagrams. I use sequence, class and activity diagrams. PlantUML uses Java. Theming support in PlantUML is horribad.

Google+ hangouts rock for development teams. The multiple screenshares is great for looking over someone's shoulder and getting feedback from your peers. It's the first thing I turn on in the morning. BTW, you don't have to share your entir

That's suprising, when I benchmarked I/O on several DigitalOcean VPS I was getting mechanical disk performance. Which plan are you running? 10-20x faster is kind of high, are you sure you weren't hitting a cache? I usually see around a 5x s

One cannot be proficient in CoffeeScript without being proficient in JavaScript. How could they debug anything?

CoffeeScript is more readable if you follow Visual Basic paren rules. Visual Basic, at least the one I used way back when, differentiates between functions and subroutines. Functions whose return values are used in an expression must use pa

The reason I use Amazon is so I don't have to drive anywhere to pick stuff up. It's there when I get home. If I wanted to go somewhere to pick it up, I'd go to a B&M. Or tell UPS/FedEx to not deliver and I'll pick it up.
