It's probably worth getting familiar with Eclipse, but it wont be on your ubuntu-server when you ssh into it.

The real power of vim is its proven staying power. It is worth the investment to learn it. It's been around for a long time and is likely to be around for much longer. Newer, hip editors that depend on one person or small company to make a

I wonder if vimscript has the bindings to do this too. You can get the current line and the contents of the line, so executing something on the command line seems feasible. The communicating with the browser however probably requires runnin

If HipMunk used an IRC backend that would be pretty sweet.

Emacs lisp has dynamic scoping which allows functions to modify the variables in a caller's scope, which is horrific.

I doubt that open sourcing it is going to be any help to anyone since it probably integrates deeply with Google's proprietary backends.

I have encountered quite a few APIs which are both poorly supported and not well thought out. There is a lot of emphasis placed on supporting the product but as a developer I want the API to also be a first class citizen in the support prio

Why do people bother with ddossing, it just always goes away anyway. I can't imagine that it would be anything other than kids since it achieves no aims in particular.

There's a difference between "top concerns" and the tone on this ridiculous HN thread. You'd think the world was ending. I hope all the downvotes help these people find relief from their vexing anxiety.

Well in that case I hope you are able to achieve the requisite amount of panic and fear you think is warranted.

There is no shortage of outrage on Hacker News, there seems to be an infinite supply every other day so you've tapped a good market.

This is great, I especially like the discussion about Managers which I haven't used before, but I have never been impressed by the technical chops of Smashing Magazine so to see that as an endorsement is actually a bit of a drawback. :/

It's similar to using a shell script except you're using Python and have access to all of Python's modules and fabric is written with roles and remote management in mind so it makes tasks easier. I love it and even use it to deploy my jekyl

I'd say fabric is more powerful than Chef or Puppet. Fabric basically lets you do anything and Chef and Puppet are constrained to do certain things in certain ways. Not sure why that would be considered more powerful. Also I think Chef and

localStorage doesn't clear when the browser exits so it's a security issue in some cases. Look at sessionStorage instead in that case.

This will probably break any red stone repeater clocks you have set up. Any kind of messing with time in the game will break them and you have to replace the repeater to fix them, which isn't fun if you've built anything more complex than a
