It's a hack in the true sense of the word; I found it entirely appropriate.

Never happened here either. And I frequently use vim to edit Geonames data sets. I just opened allCountries.txt[1] in ~36 seconds on my MBA and vim scrolls through the file smoothly. 8 256 007 lines taking up 960MB. [1] http://download.geo

It gives me great joy every time a new command-line-related project is released (or, as in this case, gets a major update). I will dedicate a few hours of my weekend to take this for a thorough spin!

I've been using this wonderful piece of software for a couple of weeks now. It's extremely powerful when you need to implement multiple interfaces (including non-HTTP-based) to the same data-source. The performance (only done preliminary te

I'm in a similar situation (hooked on Xmonad, but cannot run Linux). I've tried various solutions over the years, but the only one I've found acceptable so far is a full-screen iTerm2 running tmux. I use `bind t split-window \; select-layou

They're generally useful when you need to process input and keep track of what to do "next". Here's an example where the author manages comet connections using gen_fsm in Erlang: http://www.letsyouandhimfight.com/2010/01/31/comet-in-erlang

I'd say the pricing is about the same. You do, however, get access to a hosted environment with all of Hydna's plans (including the free one). You can use this environment to deploy rules and custom logic, reducing the need to set up a thir

I was thinking something similar when I was browsing the other day. We've made such advancements in technology, but I bet that the average time it takes to load a web page hasn't much improved. I guess it's natural that we want to push boun

Thank you for all the kind words and comments! We'll be working hard with explaining the product better and add lots of tutorials and more detailed examples to the documentation! UPDATE: You can submit a token when using the Push API as wel

Good and valid point. Thanks! Now we just need to find some voice talent! :)

That's most unfortunate! Would you mind telling us what browser (including version) and OS (ditto) you're using? Thanks! (we did a full test in "all" browsers before posting, but there are always edge-cases and we appreciate your help a lot

Ok, quick-fix online. We'll take another look at it in the morning. Thanks for the encouraging words! :)

You're absolutely right. Will be "fixed" in our next update! :) Thanks for taking the time to comment!

Agreed. We will work on that. Thanks a lot for taking the time to comment! :)

A few days ago an article on "delayed launches"[1] was posted here on HN. We took a step back from our computers, looked at each other, and laughed nervously. The article was about us. The thing is, the author couldn't possibly have known a

That you can operate the software without the normal i/o devices (monitor/screen, mouse, keyboard etc). With browsers, it's commonly used to programmatically take screenshots of web sites.

Sort of related: rpl[1] is an often overlooked tool for replacing text across multiple files. Terser than "perl pie" and a few nice features like simulation mode. [1] http://www.laffeycomputer.com/rpl.html

In the end, we'll have so much extra markup and scripts to execute that the users get annoyed by slow downloads and choppy performance, instead of having to zoom interfaces :)

The key here is "an unfamiliar domain". The "make it possible"-part is empirical research. So, you could make it beautiful and fast the first time around, but some would argue that it'd be better to first make it beautiful and then optimize

For various definitions of "instant", I guess. I move around a lot and I want my editor (and my shell, for that matter) to be ready the instant I hit enter.

I too appreciate "native" plugins. I've even recompiled vim without support for Python, Ruby and Perl in an attempt to speed up startup (it starts a "great deal" faster, if I remember my tests correctly).

Vundle installed. I agree that it is nicer than Pathogen, thanks for the tip.

Not to mention any IRC network (EFnet, Freenode etc) with TLS/SSL support. At least if you're not discussing things like missile launch codes.

Common idiom in Erlang. Using message passing (untested code): do_something(N) -> Pid = self(), spawn(fun() -> find_x(Pid, N) end), receive {found, Item} -> ...; not_found -&
