Looks very interesting, I've subscribed to the beta. But to be honest, I haven't totally grasped what and how it works. Call me a fool but I very like small stories.. For instance, "John wants to create a pet website. [Bla bla] is very co

Isn't it a little like forcing a shell or repl out of a running program?

Can't stress the "start small" part. I.e. not a marketplace or a social network to start with. (If you learn a new language, would your first project be a StarCraft2 clone or hello world?)

Would be nice to have a mega refactor function that could check for duplicate all over the public repos. So, for instance, my "capitalize function" could be tagged as duplicate and I could see multiple projects having a better one.

Cloudant seems interesting, never heard of them before. The pricing is intriguing. ( https://cloudant.com/pricing/ ) From what I understand, it's free for most small projects but could get very pricey very fast, but then, handling millions

The feedback feature seems broken: >> :feedback my@email.com "my feedback" (I also tried without the ") "Sorry your feedback could not be send :-( Please try again." I love it. I really do. Congratulation and keep up the good work w

As far as I understand it, it's more of a "Bottom/Top" versus "Top/Bottom" thinking. Personally, looking at: void checkCloseWorkshop() { if ( noMoreElves() ) { fireAllReindeer(); } } is enough, I don't need

Mind to show an example? Does the new method have a meaningful name? Are they smartly structured in a hierarchical order? I find it hard to believe that too much methods are harder to read than bad variables or indentation.

It's also an incentive for developers to earn karma as it may reflects on a career opportunity. Other popular developer websites, such as github, also have a way to differentiate /popular/ or strong developers (number of stars/fork). Person

It's very hard for a startup to create a platform without a main popular product. It may be proven wrong, but in my opinion (and experience), it's better starting vertical and then horizontally expanding. Existing companies with revenues ca

Which is totally true. Also, if one has already searched on DuckDuckGo, it's even easier to switch to it as it has been added to the search engine list.

Basically, what he's saying is "I don't enforce coding standards because my programmers are smart enough to choose one by themselves".

I love the philosophy and the team behind it. My only /big/ caveat with Flatiron is every time I wanted to use it I found bugs everywhere and had to submit patches or report very obvious bugs. I understand that nobody is perfect and that bu

This is an idea I really wanted to hack on in my next hackaton. I'm happy to see mixpanel implementing it so I can use it asap!

Request to firefox devs hanging here. Please make the linux version better.. I use firefox on Windows but have to use Chromium on Linux. I'm mostly talking about the UI interface, it's really not the same standard.

Obvious question but still worth asking: what about the other 'Hosted Forum Services?' (I know absolutely nothing for this domain, but with a quick googling I came up with a couple services such as http://www.proboards.com ) If you compare

Seems like there's an API if you want to get some datas out of it. Otherwise, you might want to try to use javascript on trusted websites.. it actually often enhance the pages.

The irony with the demo... "Passager, rails deployments that just works" with a huge Error page showing security-sensitive stack traces.

I absolutely love the website. Congrats on the public launch. In the FAQ, I would suggest a "How do you compare with Mongo?" I've read the intro, the faq and a couple of quick guides to find out what was different (read better). If I'm a ha

Can't wait to read the article about the mom who hacked Lara Croft to have a guy rather than a girl as heroine.

Seems like "procedural techniques" is a huge factor with this game. I haven't played the first ones, but it seems like auto-generating galaxies and stars was what enabled the game to make it feels huge. I'm wondering how these "procedural t

"semblance of compatibility with QWERTY" Probably. I've went through the tutorial and particularly liked how it felt like qwerty even if it was very different at the same time. You can say it's "short-sighted" but lots of amazing new keyboa

When learning a new language, my first project is usually an IRC bot. It gives me a good feel of the language and I need to learn most core structures.

I can't stress that enough. I've been in the startup world for a couple years now, had my own success and failures, and saw lots of success and failures from others.. starting small and focusing on making it great is such a good advice. If

Thanks for sharing. Something you touched on but didn't explicitly stated is to have a standard and uniform interface everywhere. My go-to example would be JQuery.. It feels like once you understand $('a.test').click(function() {..});, you

I've bought the Qi book and have been enlighted by the language it describes. I'm looking forward to play a bit with Shen and see how it compares to other lisps.
