I've been holding on to irtue.com/irtue.net. It's supposed to mean "I refuse to use Evite".

IDEs are big, slow, rigid. Text editors are lightweight and fast. You'd have to weigh what you get from the IDE vs. what you're giving up. As for your other question, yes, there are ruby and python plugins for IntelliJ. The python one see

This reminds me of Evite. It's one of the websites geeks like to reinvent, but it's such just an uphill climb.

Frameworks can be difficult to learn if they are designed differently from the one you've worked with before. I've been in your position where I was in a team using our own homegrown framework and was switching to a more widely accepted on

Think maybe someone confused hacker for cracker. Edit: I believe this story used to link to http://ycombinator.com/party.html .

Well, be thankful you had it up, running, and actually making money BEFORE you got bored with it. I'm willing to bet a lot of side projects never reach those milestones before they were abandoned due to boredom.

... in the US or other developed countries. There was an article posted here in HN last year related to this: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=194070 The short of it is that it's because women have the freedom to make that choice, and

While some may find this guide a bit obvious, I find it an interesting read, and somewhat fitting here in HN. I say this because when I think "hacker", I think of someone who knows more than just the correct API call to make, but the reason

I should clarify, then, that my statement was specific to getting the internet on my cellphone, not about the cellphone itself. The scenario I specifically cited was how having access to the web from whereever I may be may not have changed

I'm just old enough to have experienced life without cellphones and the internet, and now I have the internet on my cellphone. Yes, I still complain. It's slow, the screen is small, there's no Flash, etc. But every now and then I really

I often browse HN from my iPhone as well, and my main problem is readability. Its viewport sets the width to 980, and at the screensize of the phone, the text becomes too small. I have a bookmarklet that tries to set the width to 480. It

Ugh, one step closer to the nightmare illustrated in http://www.boingboing.net/2007/09/22/how-a-nonneutral-isp.ht... Here we all were watching the ISPs closely to avoid this from happening, and it turns out that it's the service providers

I'm familiar with the effectiveness of monetary incentives, and I've often wondered if I should use it on myself. For instance, should I sign up for a hosting service even though I don't have anything to launch right away? That would give m

Invite-only would get rid of people like me, who come here to learn from those who are able to do, with hopes that one of these days I'll be able to do it myself. I lurk, yes, and only try to comment when I feel I can contribute to the disc

The difference is market value. If Bill were to auction off an hour lunch date with him, the winning bid would be its market value. If he spent an hour lurking or commenting on HN, it doesn't mean that hour cost him the same amount.

That's different, though. You built your site with the intention of supporting multiple layouts/L&F. He's talking about refactoring a site designed one way to be laid out a different way without changing the content at all, without prio

I come from a developing country where most people are fairly educated. Education is nowhere near enough. Opportunity is needed as well for some economic growth. Honesty in government is needed to encourage and support growth. In some case
