If it becomes a problem for you and you think there are people who would steal them without that but pay you with then go for it. But it will make it harder to evaluate themes for people who do actually want to buy them. This is an awesome

Wow, that's really slick! Any plans to license the software for use in other products? It would make a great addition to some help desk software...

Not quite the midlands but in Brighton I've done this and know people who do it regularly. A kind of middle ground is a co-working space, these are sort of like offices that are available for freelancer user, you sign up for a anything from

Yes, but I'd far rather work with/for someone I met through Hacker News (probably, in general, I did actually find a great guy through oDesk). I've found some great work through these HN posts before. Definitely for seeking work those sites

One of the great things about Hacker News is that long, and well thought out, comments are encouraged. I don't think the comment was overly long for the story it contained. And I really enjoyed reading it, I'm sure I'm not alone.

Very often performance isn't the most important metric though. For me it's usually about what's the easiest to set up and administer.

Why the assumption that "GoogleBot" is a single thing? Of course we know that google has a headless browser running, we see it's output in the instant previews, but I'm sure they still do plenty of standard crawling (and probably some half

Wow, that brings back some happy memories. Writing Eliza style chat bots on my Mac SE in Hypercard was a lot of fun :) Fun fact: the best selling game Myst was developed in Hypercard!

That was the idea with XHTML and it didn't really work so great. People aren't very good at creating valid XHTML or tools that create valid XHTML. Pity though, it would have made a lot of things easier.

That makes sense, I'm sure it is hard to optimize closures and untyped code. However, if you remove those you no longer have JavaScript so it is incorrect to say that you have made Javascript fast, you've just created a different language a

Just remember "use bcrypt" and you should be fine. There is almost certainly a library for it for your language.

Are you finding Evil to be an improvement over Vimpulse at the moment? I tried Evil and it seemed to do some weird things with the point...

Currently running Emacs with Vimpulse. Best of both worlds or crazy franken-editor? I've not decided yet :)

Loads of cool new things, but not many changes in the areas that a introductory book would cover I think. Or am I wrong?

Looks very cool. But what is a "cloud cluster"? It's evidently not a cluster in the cloud as it's a bit of physical hardware they are using. I guess it could be a cluster that could be used as part of a cloud, but then isn't that the same a

Oh come on, your originally comment was a nasty little dig at someone for writing up their experiences and a suggestion that they don't count because they're "just a college student". You made that comment from a new account so you either a

Awful is still awful :) And from that description it is a truly awful system. And saying "if your so great why don't you fix it yourself" is a really stupid response to criticism. Why be so defensive about a bad system, YOU didn't write it,

Why the hate? Its an interesting read. Thinking about and discussing awful systems like this can help in figuribg out how to better make non-awful systems. And why exactly is it relavant that he is a college student?

Sounds like a good idea. I know emacs flymake mode can be set up to underline problems detected by jshint. Personally I like to have the tests and jshint run by a hotkey so I can happily move the code through invalid states (towards a valid

Have you had any luck getting it to handle modern JavaScript style? Whenever I've tried js2-mode it really hasn't liked jQuery style nested anonymous functions.

Wow, how horrendously awful must GoodData's services be to require language like that in their TOS and actions like this?
