Time of "Getting that shit done" and cost of long-term maintenance are two of the main reasons why people use Ruby/Python, not for the raw performance. I thought that was an old debate. And anyway, from my experience, Python has never been

*Started using tmux, then realized for my needs stumpwm was better. Obviously these are two different beasts. I still often use tmux on remote server for instance. However, if you use tmux locally, then a tiling manager might be better.

I started using tmux.. then switched to stumpwm which is too awesome to explain here. Embrace the full power of emacs and your Window Manager.

I think it's because needs evolved. When we went away from tables to use stylesheets, the goal was to keep the same html but alter the presentation with css and js (for the animations). But now, it's not just about presentation anymore. R

I know as tech people we're strong about using latest technologies and we like to think users are like us, but sadly, this is not the case. Actually, it really depends of your market. "the web is no longer just text" Although I can't deny t

I know everyone hates that question.. (I hate it too), but what about non-js users or, maybe more importantly, SEO or crawlers? Honestly, this is what is holding me back to go pure client-side for most of my projects.. I know there's the ph

Ha, ok thank you. With archlinux, /usr/bin/python is now linking to /usr/bin/python3..

I also believe there are so many things I've learned in starcraft that help me in my startups. In no particular orders: - Taking calculated risks - Understanding Macro vs Micro - Timing vs Economy vs Technology - Opponent psychology -

Bha, I still believe that's a mistake. Breaking already existing and working tools for the sake of having python3. Thousands of scripts use "python" as default, instead of "python2". They will all break. The problem isn't when it's your own

Only thing I've found that worked for me was emails. Whatever app I want to use, I'll still get 100+ emails everyday. When I don't have that much thing to do, cool todo apps are great.. but anytime there's a real "get shit done urgently" I

There are different levels of "captcha". Some bots just fill any forms on any sites with their spam.. a simple client-side question goes a long way to mitigate this. It obviously is a very different story if it's a script created especially

No need to be a jerk about it. And, I particularly like how it makes it easy to tweak the page in real-time.

First thing I thought while reading this kickstarter was "Why re-invent South.. it's already perfect!". I changed my mind when I understood who the author was. To be honest, I don't fully understand why the new version is needed.. we should

I think the OP has never seen a very efficient VIM user crack some code. There are some valid points but they are surrounded by unnecessary ranting and lack of knowledge. >> Don’t you ever think you can beat a mouse. Only in ver

Well, 6 ÷ 2x is similar to: 6 __ 2x You've explicitly put spaces around it. However, if you look at it like: 6/2*x Does 3x seems that unlikely?

For the 0.1% case where he actually would have needed math, he got away with it and just asked a friend. Nothing wrong in focusing on the 90% of the 90/10 and asking for help if you're in that 10% part.

Thanks for asking. Here are some ideas associated with their pain points in no particular order. 1) I'd like to environment to feel more "dev" when I'm in the debug tools. Ctrl-L should clear the console, C-a should get to the beginning, et

Here's another one.. In facebook apps settings, if you enter a url ending with a "/", the error message is "The url can't end with a '/'". Can't help but think about that lazy programmer who prefered to shoot an error message rather than fi

I don't see what fucking language you're talking about. Joke aside, I think this is just part of the author's humor, it has nothing to do with being arrogant.

We agreed something like IRC would be good, so I thought it would be easy in Haskell to make such a thing . Or you can use any of the thousand services running IRC servers ;-)

Ha, wow, thanks for sharing. For some reasons, I thought hacker news happened before you guys started funding startups. Please feel free to share other documents from the early YC or HN.

There was a fun bug with zerg in the early days of Starcraft where you could build everywhere on the map even your drone wasn't there. I don't remember exactly how, but I know it was using a mineral path-finding bug :O

I swear this game is better than most of the game I've played this and last year. Graphics aren't everything.
