What a lot of people seem to miss is that Xcode 4 is still a free download on http://developer.apple.com/xcode/ for members of the developer program (which is a free membership).

I've been using http://register4less.com/ for a few years. The price might seem higher than some others, but it includes whois privacy protection that godaddy charges extra for, as well as a dns zone editor and a nice UI.

I think it's a bit rude to say it was stolen. It's a pretty obvious idea, and as the crush notifier author wrote in his blog post, he never expected it to get so popular, it was just a weekend hack project.

I have been programming for 10+ years, I have a full keyboard on the desk, and I can honestly say that I have used the numeric keypad maybe a dozen times in that whole time. If you're an accountant, it may be a different story, but for prog

You'll probably get more help on stackoverflow... HN isn't really the right venue for specific programming questions :) That being said, you can just use tail -f as input for your script. Something like this: tail -f input.txt | encoder.sh

I have 19K+ emails in my inbox, when I go to 'oldest' page, I see everything up to the gmail welcome email. So, no missing emails here as far as I can tell.

Copying my comment from the blog: Instead of running a sync script every minute, you can just use filesystem events [1] notification to run your commit script every time a file is changed. I have used the ruby wrapper for it [2], but appare

Aren't there laws in place against what amounts to collusion for price-fixing? I thought that the laws of free market should make services cheaper over time, as infrastructure capacity and competition grows... instead, it seems like the com

Ideally, you don't store credit card numbers at all. If you need to do recurring billing, there are platforms that will do it for you, otherwise, process the transaction and remove the number from your system. Storing this kind of info secu

http://head-fi.org will give you more discussion about high end audio gear than you could read in a century; I'd do some research there about what kind of 'phones to get. As for books, I'd suggest the Culture novels by Iain M Banks if you

Yup. If I have about 40 tabs open in Chrome, especially with some Flash videos or JS-heavy sites, Chrome can easily chew up a a gig and a half of memory and slow everything to a crawl. There is no magic bullet. Bumping my memory up to 8GB (

A real hacker can live for a month on food stored in his keyboard. Seriously though, my keyboard's pretty clean. I wash my hands, so there's no grime, and I make sure that any crumbs end up in the trash can. It's not that hard.

Don't ship something that's not ready. If you have a subset of the product that makes sense to release, release it, but most likely releasing a subset that's not designed to be used standalone will leave you with a product that has some gla

Well, as far as I understand, the point of the product is not to change your sleep schedule completely, it's to optimize it to wake you up at the optimal time in the REM cycle, making sure that you wake up refreshed and full of energy. So y

Definitely continue with school. You can most likely test out of certain classes, but the main benefit of attending university is not necessarily the piece of paper you get at the end, it's the experience, the people and the ideas you get e

They haven't started shipping as far as I know, but they seem to be very close to it. Last update on their blog is from Nov 5th, and it sounds like they expect to start shipping by end of this month. http://blog.wakemate.com/

I recommend checking out http://lesscss.org/ - haven't used SASS recently, not sure how well it compares these days. Used to be not as powerful as Less.

Yup. That hurts like hell. I try to catch the kick with my calf and turn it away, but it's difficult. Timing and distance is everything. I probably spoke rashly though, I don't really know enough about it to make generalizations like that.

I've been doing Wing Tsun kung fu for over ten years. If you find a good school, it's a very methodical, highly intelligent and very technical martial art. There's a lot of depth to it, and as you get better, it gets more and more subtle (a

Speaking as a SF local for over ten years. LA is huge, you have to drive everywhere, and software scene is much more fragmented there. On the other hand it's hot and sunny (if you like that kind of thing). SF is small, has decent public tra
