Given how close they are, I imagine they'll do Python anyway. It's more a "if we get an extra $100k, then we'll spend your money on hiring developers to have Python support alongside the languages we promised to focus on first".

Because the search space for brute-forcing a password is massively reduced :). Suddenly, instead of having 62 possibilities per password character (assuming alphanumeric + no specials), there's only 36. Whereas a password like "PassWord12

I would be very interested, however, to know what this implies about the way they store their passwords. If, on submission, they normalise the case it and then hash it (and then for all checks, normalise the supplied pw)... then, it's st

Given the initial goal was for a Clojure editor (which runs on the JVM), running the JVM was a prerequisite anyway.

By liking them, you're advertising them. Your "like" factors into your friends getting an update saying "jlarocco likes the Super Sandwich Stall", and thinking "huh, I should go and try that place". It's somewhat meaningless now, admittedl

It's also important to remember that the Django ORM's select_related call only goes one way. Consider the case: class Clan(models.Model): ... class Player(models.Model): clan = models.ForeignKey(Clan) Doing Cl

It'd be nice if Travis CI took a step towards distributing itself more easily. I've got spare bandwidth and spare CPU cycles: why not provide downloadable Vagrant boxes or scripts to allow me to run a couple of CI VMs locally? I did look

In a perfect world: yes. In reality: your uploads count towards your data cap, and national traffic is no longer free (it used to be). When your data cap is expensive/small, seeding can cost you a significant amount of money.

Yes -- and no. You have to remember that outside of a few countries, unlimited internet isn't ubiquitous. Admittedly, NZ is basically a worst-case scenario (we're connected to the rest of the world by a single pipe, access to which is - w

That's the truth for everyone who hacks around in their spare time, but: don't stop starting new things! I've got a folder full of half-finished crud, which will probably never be finished. I've become OK with that. I do, admittedly, k

I wonder if that's what this is though: Ubuntu LTS having modified the FF build they run to use SPDY by default (given the LTS is supposed to be out for 5 years now, they may have chosen to jump the gun on that feature), and the SPDY suppor

In the case of Amazon at least, the DRM on Kindle ebooks is ludicrously easy to crack. Every book I purchase, I crack - both for self-preservation (the removal of 1984 from every device it was installed on was worrying), and because not be

With respect to your third point, there are already a stack of other browsers on iOS. I don't see why Chrome would explicitly be excluded, compared to them.

Sorry if my Ruby chops are weak - I've not used it for probably 5 or so years now :) (I do a lot of Python work though, so I'm familiar with dynamic type systems). I kind of agree with your second sentiment - but I did want to point out tha

I'm sure there are some flaws present in what I've explained - I've simplified out a lot of pain points for learners (like Haskell's IO system for side-effecting functions), and I'm still only a novice myself, so can't comment on what's con

Ah, I see. I don't really know what's idiomatic in Ruby anymore; I haven't used it in anger for nigh on 5 years now :).

You can start with simple types in Haskell too, FWIW. To take your phone number example, let's say I'm making a very simple program that dials a number. In Ruby, I'm talking about something like: aNumber = "+0123456789" def dia

Developing things in the open can be a drag for a product first getting off the ground. People pull in different directions, want different things, and fork the project (and the community) in doing so. I'm a strong believer in free (as in

Ignoring the usual "vim", "emacs" etc., do try Sublime Text 2, if all you're after is an editor. So far it's proved unfailingly excellent for me :). FWIW Chris stated in a previous post that Lighttable would be built on embedding CodeMirro

Perhaps, but part of this is demonstrating the demand for a product of this kind. If Chris reaches the goal for funding, but fails to release a product, hopefully the fact he managed to raise that much cash will indicate to someone else -

I'll happily chip in some money, but having read recently about how Star Command's money burnt down ( http://www.1up.com/news/star-command-kickstarter-funding-qui... ) I suspect you might have shot yourself in the foot a bit by offering the

Good luck, and stay strong. I think the demo you created was incredibly impressive, and I suspect a lot of people will therefore expect a lot from this product. This is going to sound overly pessimistic, so please forgive me - but I sus

I should clarify that: I agree that WebOS is an amazing OS. I had a great time using it. I really liked the Enyo framework, and most of the apps were well optimised for tablet. Despite that, the app ecosystem as it stands is dying, and I

I strongly agree. I've been averse to owning a tablet for a while; generally, I prefer to have a laptop: if I want to do work on it, I can. I've recently tried a different approach: use the laptop (/tablet, now) for all my entertainment n

Compare Google Navigation on Android, to TomTom on iOS. Navigation is free, works perfectly, and even goes so far as to include a "Car Mode" for docking your phone in your car. TomTom costs, at last check, $95NZD. I've not bothered trying
