   New features that I like: - Computed styles and DOM are now tabs when working in HTML - "Persist" buttons for both the Console and Net. I haven't tested it yet, but there have been many times where it would have been very useful.

   It looks like most people are looking for a good designer / UI specialist. If only there was an HN for designers focusing on starts ups!

   The new Google phone's lack of software support for multi-touch is something which has come up recently.

   This sounds like it would be very useful for writing a poker bot.

   I've been following your company's work on HN and the Appengine group. Just wanted to say, you guys have some very talented designers!

    Interesting talk. I was surprised when he mentioned that he regretted putting it in the public domain because (among other things) of the need to keep track of copyright releases for contributors.

    Thanks! Columns are filled top to bottom with nodes. Adjacent columns which are empty can be filled by their neighbors. If you'd like to know more, the code can be found at: http://github.com/csytan/webnodes/blob/master/static/topic.j...

    This could potentially save a lot time for TAs who have to summarize papers for their professors. It bothers me to no end that research publications are geared more towards gaining reputation (and funding) than sharing information . Best o

    Nice job Bret! I've been using Tornado since it came out, and have been very happy with it.

    Nice, but I question if this needs to be made into a plugin. There's a need to hook up things on the server side, and the same thing can be accomplished by writing 20 lines of code. Here's something I wrote for my translation site:

    Agreed. In addition, you don't need much sun exposure to get satisfactory vitamin D levels. From the article: """ Sensible sun exposure (usually 5-10 min of exposure of the arms and legs or the hands, arms, and face, 2 or 3 times per week)

    I think the main advantage is that there is no need to set up a dev environment (at my place of employment this can take several hours). What follows is that testing and bug fixes can be made much easier, especially for newcomers to an ope

    I've only ever written one undergrad thesis. The dry subject matter and the extended length of it makes me believe that the last eyes that will be laid upon it will be those of my thesis advisor. Seriously though, why do research papers ha

    Google Appengine: Probably _the_ easiest platform to develop a webapp on if you use Python and are okay with its limitations. Tornado: If you are going to develop on GAE, Tornado is the way to go. It is fast, well written, and only include

    Using the Q & A style to introduce a topic works really well. I hope more people start writing like this.

    I find that for me, side projects are very beneficial because they give me absolute freedom to try new things without stepping on co-workers toes. I have to agree that metrics don't tell the whole story. It really depends on what the progr

    This is a great idea for marketing: Provide a walk-through of your product on an example client showing how it can be useful.

    I'm impressed with the design =). I like how the right column is used as a per page FAQ. A few minor suggestions: - Consider merging or ditching one of the two taglines. The site becomes easier to read if the eye doesn't have to jump aroun

    Before reading the HN comments, I thought this was an online bookstore targeted at bedtime reading for kids. Letting users flip through a book before deciding to buy it is a great idea. It's the biggest thing that I'm missing when shopping

    Around GWT's 1.5 release I heard the GWT team was trying to get the gmail developers to switch from pure js. I don't believe they had any luck though =)

    Have you considered parsing the page using javascript, or selectively returning a partial on an ajax request? I use the first method quite a bit. It's a bit slower to send the whole page, but does not require any server side changes. Once

    This seems to be the main advantage: "Unlike JSONP, untrusted third-party JavaScript cannot execute in the context of the calling page." Edit: It looks like they create an iframe, load the css, and parse the data using javascript, so it see

    I'll assume this is for client side js, since that's what most people use =) Most of the js I write involves jQuery. As such, I find it's very useful to separate reusable components into jQuery plugins in separate files. If you don't use jQ
