Cool! Always felt like sharing public files via Dropbox wasn't quite as quick as it should be. Seems similar to CloudApp's menu bar app: http://getcloudapp.com/

Just signed up for Algorithms, Part I. I probably won't be able to take that at my college for several more semesters, and this is information I'd actually like to know, but something that I've struggled to learn in isolation. Very exciting

It's interesting that they're getting a redesign - I've always thought Python.org was one of the nicest, cleanest sites for an open source project. Here's their reasoning for a redesign: http://pythonorg-redesign.readthedocs.org/en/latest/

This is not a free engine for HTML5 games. You are required to sign up to release a game on their proprietary * distribution platform* and give them 30% of your net revenue. Very misleading headline. From the page: "We supply your team with

There's some themes for ST2 that make it much more palatable on OSX, if you're concerned about aesthetics. My favorite is Soda: https://github.com/buymeasoda/soda-theme/

Not to pick on you in particular, but I think it's a bit disingenuous to try to say "something is priced to be worth about X amount of time" - it entirely depends on the person and their financial situation. I've used Sublime Text 2 for a y

Even if you own most of the games in this bundle, the soundtracks for Bastion and Sword & Sworcery are worth it alone.

Git isn't "pre-installed" on OSX; it comes with XCode. You can be a developer on OSX and not use XCode. It's not common, but it doesn't hurt to offer a download. And, of course, it's not like XCode gets updated every time Git does.

If anyone here has been to a past Finish Weekend, or a similar event, I'd love to hear your thoughts on it. I'm thinking about going, and would like to know what other peoples' experiences were like.

Wow, I just googled this and I'm really bummed that I missed it. Looks like it never got submitted to Hacker News for some reason, that's a shame.

It's the first title in a while I've seen and immediately gone, "whoa," based on the strength of a few words. Smart article, too, of course.

I have to say, while Chrome has a few issues on OSX, I was really impressed with how quickly they added full screening, Lion-style scrollbars, elastic scrolling, and surprisingly polished two-finger swipe gestures. Hopefully Firefox will ge

It is readable. It is intuitive. It is minimal, and it has a small learning curve. CoffeeScript syntax is very simple. It takes about a half-hour, at most, to learn using the language overview ( http://coffeescript.org/ ), assuming you know

This is oddly unsettling and a bit nauseating, at least scrolling through it with the trackpad. It's a cool effect, though.

The sad part of this is that it's so easy to make your Bootstrap site look a little different, even for non-designers. I'm sure the idea here is "oh, I'm just making a quick MVP, or even a pre-MVP, or a weekend project, and Bootstrap makes

Oh, wow! This is awesome; I'm just now at the point in a Backbone project where I was preparing to implement something similar, and wasn't exactly relishing the thought. It's awesome that I now have something to work with instead of havin

While I take issues with some elements of Metro, it's definitely a style that puts typography front and center. That, combined with some great fonts coming out from (or at least licensed by) Microsoft, shows that they have the ability to be

If you're not totally sick of CS, CS: Global Offensive comes out sometime next year on PC, 360, and PS3. You could also wait on Tactical Intervention, a new game by one of the designers of CS with similar gameplay, but I was in the beta and
