Working on something like that too, but it's a rough work in progress: http://gitify.me I'm planning on adding filters so that I can get notifications for only pull requests and files I care about etc. Also planning on adding a chrome ext

I always run the latest Firefox and the only extensions I have are Xmarks, 1password, Firebug and Webdeveloper.

That is interesting, but Mozilla needs to focus on making its browser consume less memory and CPU when idle. These are the things that are killing its marketshare and leading users to switch to alternatives. Every time I see initiatives lik

Downtime affects SLAs and there isn't a lot of breathing room depending on your 9's[1]. In addition, bringing something down has its own problems and are you just advocating bringing down the user interface or should everything get shut dow

The benefits of using Django include not having to rebuild a lot of boiler plate features again and again. Things like the admin panel for example. When I used web.py I always had to build some kind of way to manage users easily. Login page

I would like to see some data on how much faster. Maybe make some demos that run in a frame where jQuery is compared to this library. It's a tall claim to say this is faster and needs credible verification.

We used Leftronic at Cloudkick and I think their product idea is pretty cool. I hope they do well.

Amazing for many reasons, but what I really find impressive is that messing with video encoding requires like a PHD in everything because of how complex things like H.264 are. At least that's my perspective after trying to grok the H.264 sp

Yeah but it would have to be a targeted attack. In any case everyone should be using something like 1Password anyway.

Whatever damage or confusion Who's Near Me might have caused to your brand, this lawsuit has done worse. Ever heard of the Streisand effect? Even if you did have a valid claim your demands were way over the top. Thousands of dollars in lega

Not to detract from the great design and the obvious hard work put into this, but it isn't this basically violating copyright every time something is added unless you own it? Almost all of the public pictures I saw were copyrighted and I do

Is it weird that I'm happy this site doesn't have a lot of pretty gradients and fancy art? For whatever reason I'm a little tired of too pretty sites related to JavaScript or other client side development. I think the reason for this is bec

Because that's just one more smartphone OS that will never support app development from anything other than their own creator's platform, i.e. Windows and Visual Studio or Mac OS X and Xcode. The world doesn't need this horrible, closed-sys

It's a pretty decent article but: > Now being a dummy is not the same thing as being dumb. ... I think if I had found myself about to write the sentence above I would try to find a better adjective and not post something this silly.

I think there is room for three great smartphone platforms and I hope Windows Phone isn't one of them. So I'm rooting for RIM.

The exploit might not be part of the package. It could be that the exploit installs flame and then uninstalls or removes traces of itself. 0days are very valuable, it makes sense to remove it if it has served its purpose. Some exploits like

I liked it. Sometimes you don't have to say much to make great point. Sometimes the scope of an interesting thing sparks great discussion. I up-voted it with the expectation that the HN discussion on this was going to be informative, but no

People read news to find out what's happening. That's mostly it. If they can find out what's happening without paying for it, they will, even if their source isn't written by a published Harvard graduate who has years of experience and writ

News is ripe for disruption. News was a better business when it was harder to find out what was happening in the world because of difficulty in transporting information and media. That's all gone now. Has Buffet heard of Twitter? News aggre

It's not a "Killer". The title is the worst kind of link bait. It doesn't replace Chrome in any shape or form. There's nothing Yahoo! has said to justify this title. Horrid submission to HN.

I'd say the first social network I ever saw was Prodigy in 1991. AOL also had social networking features, as did Yahoo! and MSN.

The stack of callbacks piling up is definitely not a great feature of node.js code. You can mitigate it by using declared functions instead of anonymous functions but that also becomes burdensome when all your callback function does is call
