Along with the !! function you can reference the last call of a specific command like so: !<cmd> e.g. sometimes I forget the "ln -s" order of arguments (to which it gives me an error), so I follow it up with:

This is silly, sh/bash natively support arithmetic operations with infix notation. He writes a contrived arithmetic solver in C to support his argument.

Angularstrap left a sour taste in my mouth when their Bootstrap 3 support took so long. In that respect using bootstrap3 + backbone is a better option.

Cool. I'm on a MBP with 1280x800 resolution and tapping up on the keyboard moves the page to the top, which cuts off the bottom of the game board. A little annoying :(

So these are slightly better versions of fonts already on https://www.google.com/fonts ? At first glance I thought you were offering new ones.

That's not really buildbot's fault. You have a lot of control on how your project builds. Our build system created a chroot each time it went to build - so that got us the clean environment we needed. Buildbot had no effect on tha

One reason I like using Emacs is that I can run it in a terminal - e.g. over ssh. I am skeptical I'll be able to do that with Atom (without using X forwarding). On top of that I can be up and running with Emacs on a fresh install of ju

I thought it was neat that the OpenGL Utility Toolkit (GLUT) has a built-in glutSolidTeapot function for drawing the teapot. http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/OpenGL_Programming/Basics/2DObj...

I agree the 'What are you using node?' could stand to be reworded as 'It looks like you're using node'. English is my native language. While I appreciate your thorough response, you do seem to be putting words in my

How'd you get upvoted so fast? Sacha Greif's Telescope [1] is probably the best open source HN clone I found, last time I checked. Edit: I liked Telescope because it had a really slick (customizable) UI, persistent storage, and wa

Yes. The DSL is almost comical. Your users are likely well versed in system administration, these analogies don't make anything easier to understand; rather, it serves to distract attention from the core functionality.

Agree. It's bad design. The user wants to contact you, not play a game.

Just a FYI there are a handful of companies already doing something very similar. Except instead of physically picking up your mail, they receive it on your behalf (made possible by USPS form 1583 [1]). Then they digitize and forward (you p

One thing I asked about in the original HN thread that went unanswered was the test code. Do they have any? Unit, integration, performance, etc. and what does the coverage look like? $50k seems unjustifiable without tests and benchmarks.

Since I lack the ability to downvote I felt compelled to write that this response is quite distasteful. This exacerbates the gendered-pronoun incident and serves to divide the community. I expect better from a community leader.
