The interesting thing is that Apple just released the ability to remap Caps-Lock to Esc. natively in macOS 10.12.1, which doesn't seem to be incidental. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12818839

In the light of the new Macbook Pros I find it interesting that Apple just released a simpler way of remapping Caps-Lock as Esc. Incidental or not?

I'm very interested in learning Clojure. Would you care to share more of your experience learning the language in terms of learning curve, useful libraries or just general tips. I'm sure that would benefit the community at large.

As a user and supporter of RethinkDB I hope (and expect!) that the engineering team joining Stripe is a sign that Stripe will be able to take part in further development of the product. On a sidenote, for people unfamiliar with RethinkDB, t

I would go and say that when flickr will be gone we will enter a different era of the web. Flickr has been such a great influence over the years that internet without flickr will be a different internet altogether

Admittedly but Backbone is _still_ a good intro to Front-end frameworks because it has a steep learning curve upfront instead of, say, angular that seems easy enough to pick up until you try to tackle non trivial applications.

If you plan to use Django as an API server, you might be interested in Lightweight Django ( http://shop.oreilly.com/product/0636920032502.do ), which shows you how to design and build an API server using Django, Django R

Including one 18.9Mb gif and no less than 6 jpgs clocking between 1.9 and 5.9 Mb. Looks like counter-optimization at this stage.

This might be somewhat related and certainly is not encouraging in the current context, unfortunately. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11876453

While I hear the argument, I'm tempted to think that the framework is largely irrelevant and that it actually is the ecosystem (package management and lack of quality control) that is harming platforms at large from Rails to Django to,

I second that, Django is the first word that popped into my mind when I read the question. I think Django exemplifies what a great Open-Source software community is.

The "connect" feature is eerily reminiscent of Ping if you remember that. It was part of iTunes and was a failure from the start and subsequently killed at some point. I'm really wondering if they will succeed this time. htt

Honest question: could someone summarize why would one use mercurial vs git? Both seems really close in features. What would be a use case where one would outshine the other?

I'm genuinely curious, have you tried one of the asset-pipeline apps for django? I found django-pipeline actually not that bad, even though I have been recently leaning towards using front-end tools (gulp/browserify) anyway.

I agree with you on many points and it seems obvious that apple is spread too thin these days and tries to do too much. I dont think this statement is true however: > The core market for Apple until quite recently was not the everyday u

I would really like to know how cutting-edge this was at the time. It seems incredible to me how little has changed in how we make dynamic web applications.

One thing I haven't seen mentioned is the addition of an option to download the docs in .epub, which is great and previously was a pain point (at least for me).

Absolutely, the previous design tenure of 10 years is quite a feat. There are very few websites that can last this long without feeling old-fashioned.
