I wanted to come and post this. Sonic Pi is an amazing tool with a compelling raison d'etre that I would think resonates with the HN community. It's a realtime code as performance tool aimed at teaching kids programming but is als

Ugh. Realtor.ca isn't really due to standardization but monopolization and control. It's a site by CREA (the Canadian Real Estate Assocation) and has exclusive rights to data from all member associations. disclaimer: I am affiliat

This looks cool. I've been transitioning from an untidy, cruft-filled personal .vimrc to spacemacs but I find myself running back to vim frequently as I haven't learned the analogous key strokes for all of my basic usage/work

This looks very promising and could be huge if it supported JVM languages besides Java. I've been digging through the docs and have yet to find anything to this end. (Going so far as to post a SO question about it at http:/&#x2F

I'd guess ignorance? I'd never heard of 'logical decoding' before and the name of the feature doesn't lend itself to easy understanding. That said, thanks for pointing this out - it looks like yet another very usefu

I hadn't thought of that, but upon reflection perhaps the 'For Dummies' has paved the way and people are more willing to accept mildly offensive book publishers/titles ?

Just happened again. The error is: Line 128,493 - INSTALLER LOG SHARED BUFFER IS FUL This time I only opened the log viewer briefly at one point during the upgrade, and again after several hours because it seemed to have hung again. I can&#

Just a warning - after 6+ hours (not sure exactly as I went to sleep) my Yosemite install failed because the log buffer was full. I can't say for sure that this would not have happened if I hadn't left the log viewer open, but I w

Keep in mind that it is possible to infer / derive a lot of meaningful data about you from a relatively small sample size. From political leanings via social networks (personal associations are very strong data points) to samples of your

Nice. a video game pixel art take on github profile art. I first saw a proof of concept on Will Leinweber's profile ( https://github.com/will/ ) The downside is the top place in your 'Contributions' feed gets heavily polluted..

In addition to the actual topic of the post (issues with a Heroku beta feature), I find this post pretty interesting for a number of reasons. It seems that for blog posts are the preferred method of reporting deeper issues. I guess it's a w

The first part of today's keynote had a strong emphasis on multitouch and gestures being integrated into the OS. As a BTT user myself I'm very curious to see if BTT has been obsoleted by Apple.
