Oh, man. The eye wash tower. An eye washer and a shower rolled into one pipe that extended from the floor to the ceiling. The thought of ever working with a substance that could validate suburbia's property tax spent on those things was the

I graduated highschool in 2007 and science class was devoid of experimentation. I remember there being a bunch of hype months in advance for a day where we just watched our teacher do something with a bunsen burner. I don't remember what sh

In the example where you `git checkout -b feature_x`, I believe you also want to `git merge feature_x` after you `git checkout master`, as the `-d` flag on `git branch -d feature_x` will only delete the branch if it's been merged.

I think tutorials just follow what's hot and what people are using, not necessarily what people have trouble understanding. Git is central to HN as a community, so we upvote things like git articles, and other HNers are more likely to try t

i use git and here's an example. you can think of a repository as a git-aware folder of code. if you go into your My_Documents folder, type `git init`, it's now a repository. if you click New Repository on github.com, navigate back to your

Backlinks are everything. Nowadays, I think you have to try pretty hard to produce markup that Googlebot can't interpret. I rocketed my forum community to the top of Google by generating backlinks. Some people consider it grunt labor, but I

Climbing search engine rankings has less to do with on-site SEO perfection yet much more to do with backlinks. Look at what porn and gambling kings are doing to compete with eachother. Too many posts about SEO get everyone obsessing over ma

Isn't that just "blogging for bloggers"? I thought the whole hacker nomenclature revolved around tinkering, crafting, and creating. The type of person that is compelled by an idea they had for their blog and then they enjoyed implementing i

Not quite. It's like limiting the dashboard of a smaller car. For instance, mobile users can do without the "Latest Posts" sidebar on a forum, but the users preferred it on the desktop. You'd probably remove most of the Twitter Bootstrap to

There are frameworks like Skeleton and Zurb's Foundation that handle the media queries and resizing/restyling for you, you just have to use their markup. And what they do out of the box is pretty much enough unless you want to hand-tweak a

If you're learning a web framework, you could always roll your own with Rails/Django/Sinatra/Flask. I think it's the most fun option. Then you get to implement things like a sitemap, categories, comments/Disqus, page caching, and anything e

Since I spend most of my time in Vim, I moved from Chrome to Firefox just for Pentadactyl which brings Vim bindings to Firefox, and it's much more powerful than similar Chrome add-ons. Tabbing between Vim and Firefox, sharing keybindings, a

Passwords of users with power should be secure, but I don't see how that has anything to do wtih the password creation rules of a website. My HN password being "post" for my own convenience doesn't affect anyone else on HN, and it certain

Can you explain? Wiki just explains that Rails pretty much slurped up Merb's featureset/advantage in Rails 3.

I wasn't a big fan of the Jekyll workflow, especially when I wanted to write a simple post from another device. My solution to that, an app that wrapped Jekyll, just felt hacky. Instead, I just made a Rails app with fifteen minutes spent dr

Agreed. It's like Bootstrap with a responsive design. Frankly, I think Bootstrap is prettier out of the box, and it's getting a responsive design in 2.0 which releases "soon".

Cool. I'm a huge Pentadactyl fan, and that point (launchability) makes a lot of sense. Thanks.

I'm probably going to buy a MBA soon after working with Debian & Openbox on a dated netbook for too long. I spend most of my time in side-by-side Vim/shell/ssh sessions inside tmux within the Guake terminal. If MacVim is a standalone ap

I can't imagine life without Guake. Nice to see that OSX has its own version. In fact, I now do all of my development in Guake with tmux and Vim.

No kidding. I live in a one-bedroom in a college student apartment complex and none of these listed downloads are mine. But from visiting that website, I just learned that the Walking Dead is on it's second season.

I'd tout Rails as more beginner-friendly than Sinatra. Much more beginner friendly. Once a beginner gets past the trivial usage of Sinatra, where does he go next? Rails already has everything set up for you. If you want to implement somethi

Agreed. After working with Active Record, it's really hard to switch back to Wordpress and write: $today = getDate(); $my_posts->query('year=' .$today["year"]. '&monthnum=' .$today["mon"]. '&day=' .$today["mday"]);

I see Vim on that list. Best way to learn Vim is to get stuck without internet for 30 minutes. Once you explore every avenue of entertainment in your documents/downloads folders, you remember `$ vimtutor` and just have a go at it. Tried and

Incredible add-on. This article inspired me to try Opera again. But now 10 seconds spent in the Pentadactyl quick-start guide have made it clear that I'll be back on Firefox after being a dedicated Chrome user for at least four years.
