holy cow this thing has like 70 repositories! And I found a screenshot... looks very much like sublime text: https://f.cloud.github.com/assets/1424/1228569/cce6eb26-27a6... edit: based on this[1], it looks li

Yeah, but then you'd need LaunchKey, which is worse. Nothing against them personally, but handling your user account protection with a for-profit third-party seems far worse than having a password prompt.

I agree! The Hemingway mode at seems to be geared (ironically) at technical writing. My English teacher wouldn't like it — it encourages simplification of language and minimization of word variation. Sometimes it's good to write l

It's not an awareness problem, it's a monopoly problem. For example, I live in an affluent suburb of Philadelphia. The only ISPs we have are Verizon and Comcast. The banner might as well read "Pick Your Poison".

Wow, really clever stuff! Also of note is the $4,000 reward he received from GitHub's bounty program — their largest to date, according to the email.

It's much more expensive than $0.99/mo. That's just for a one-day trial. The cheapest plan they offer is $10/month.

I don't recall seeing it on HN recently, but are you thinking of Docco? Example: http://backbonejs.org/docs/backbone.html

That's a really bad analogy. People don't use Ruby because C's standard library works differently across different platforms. This isn't about "rewriting jQuery methods with vanilla js". It's about using t

>the various "Peace Processes" have generally been a result of pressure from outside the region. What makes you say this? You don't think the Israelis and the Palestinians actually want peace (albeit on their own terms)?

>Yasser Arafat & Yitzhak Rabin were awarded it, its not clear if they intended to create a peace, but they did not. I'm sorry, what ? You aren't sure if Rabin and Arafat "intended to create peace"? What exactly

Wow that is insanely beautiful to my eyes — thanks for pointing this out! Only thing that might make it better would be a litcoffee version :)

Honestly, when Svbtle first came out, I thought it was really cool and I wanted to use it. Now I use Medium and I have no interest in it — and most people I know (who blog) do the same these days.

I don't think they ever had an undo feature. I remember when the platform was first introduced... people complained about it then too. Plus I'm pretty sure it's only been around for ~<2 years.

yeah I'm very curious as to what sort of bug deploys a bad configuration and then magically deploys the fix 30 minutes later...

This looks cool, but why should I use and trust this over something like Google's Public DNS?

I was using the term "modern personal computing" to refer to a computer using what would become the standard cross-platform interface for computers: the desktop metaphor[1]. While the Apple II and the Commodore PET were undoubtedl

This is a really important point and isn't stated enough. People think of DNSSEC as some panacea that "fixes" DNS, but it really does nothing of the sort. Moxie gave an absolutely fantastic talk at Blackhat a few years ago in

I think you missed the point. 30 years from today (January 24th, 1984) is celebrating the release of the original Macintosh, which was the first modern personal computer. Of course there have been "bad Apples" along the way — the

Wait, how was using a password manager advantageous in this situation? >Since they had my iPhone too, they now also had potential access to my passwords manager as well as all my two-factor codes (on the Google Authenticator app).

I'm sorry, but how is the Windows naming scheme superior to OS X? For the past decade+, OS X releases have been named after "big cats". Puma, Cheetah, Jaguar, etc. Consistent and distinct. Windows on the other hand has had po

This is really impressive, nice work! The ability to export in so many native and useful formats is really awesome as well. One suggestion: it was not clear to me (until I RTFM'd) that I needed to press the "insert" key to in

Very curious about how this has been working for you. How has it improved your experience developing node apps? Any tips you have for setting it up?

Yeah, I lost about 200 karma (what was about 15% of my total) in the crash. Good thing they're just silly internet points :)

At first I read this as "want a perfect pitch?" and I thought the article would be about This One Crazy Drug That VCs Hate™. I was pleasantly surprised.
