I would love to have a console or even web client for this. Or is anyone aware of a secure group chat application to replace IRC (or SILC for that matter)?

Slightly off topic, but I wanted to chime in to say that I enjoy Atomic Brawl very much. I like both the game and the technical execution. If you haven't already, give it a shot!

Ruby 1.9.1, the first "stable" release of the 1.9 series, was released back in January 2009. So when 1.9.3 is EOLd in 2015, the 1.9 series will have been around for 6 whole years. Seems like quite a lot of time to me. And of cours

I would love to hear more about "leverage existing package management systems". I guess many people use rvm to install ruby and I always recommend newbies to try it out for that purpose. But recent criticisms of ruby made me wonde

While I do not disagree with any of the proposed features, I am not sure, what they would accomplish. Could someone point out, what kind of applications would benefit from those changes? Is this just about making ruby more like node (substi

I have so many thoughts about this post right now, that I find it hard to put them into a coherent comment. Still, I want them out there: 1) I, too, feel that Ruby is no longer as fashionable as it used to be. I do not think this to be much

There was a story on HN a few weeks ago by a photographer wanting this kind of service. I found the discussion very interesting. Is this in any way inspired by that? Or is this a coincidence?

Do you think the Edge's hardware will be a major improvement over the Nexus 4? I am asking because I wonder why I should wait until next year for the Edge when Ubuntu Touch works just as well on a Nexus 4.

This is of course total off topic, but since a lot of GNOME-bashing is already happening in the comments here, I would just like to state that I am very, very happy with GNOME3. It perfectly fits my use case (running a few apps fully maximi

The recent NSA scandals seems to have put me in full tin foil hat mode. All I read here is: "We record everything you and/or your child say and send it to our servers."

This is of course well meant and I think it is good to remind people, that there is no need to use Ember Data in Ember, but I have one objection: The example only fetches records from the API and never creates, updates or deletes any. This

There is so much valuable information in those log files that I often wonder why there is no tool to analyze them. With a nice UI this would not only solve this problem here but it could potentially offer a lot more insight than just lookin
