I used fish for at least a year, maybe more. I eventually switched away to zsh. Whichever theme I used, rendering the status of git repos took ages, and the breaks from Bash syntax were just a bit too much. I loved the overall friendliness

That's pretty astonishing. Are you referring to this kind of workflow: https://goldmann.pl/blog/2014/07/30/running-docker-container... I clearly have tons left to learn as a Sysadmin

If anyone else is looking for a legible and noob-friendly explanation of this controversy, I found a decent reddit thread: http://www.reddit.com/r/explainlikeimfive/comments/2jormj/el...

It's enormously popular in web development, especially front-end development. It's probably the most popular with modern web developers who don't use Vim/Emacs. It certainly appears to have long overtaken Textmate, which

I'm quite impressed by this. I can easily imagine some pretty sophisticated productions with such a small amount of code. For instance, your Better Looping example is basically a step sequencer.

Great technology. I'm maybe a bit stuck in my RAW file processing ways to find a use for this myself, but I am impressed with it's speed. A couple of things I'd like: - Proper support for high-res images - it might be in ther

Great article. Thanks for being so rigorous with the step-by-step process and for annotating your thoughts on each step, it's very instructive.

I found a tutorial making it look pretty easy to do with Mechanize: http://readysteadycode.com/howto-scrape-websites-with-ruby-a... Note, not tried this myself!

Nice! Could've used that this weekend when I got caught in callback hell trying to build a simple NodeJS scraper. Ended up doing it in PHP just because I know it well. I'll give it another go with this library next week!

Here's a very simple stylesheet for HN tweaks that I forked from another one: http://stylebot.me/styles/2800 I've been using it for just over a year, and find it extremely pleasurable to use.

Is that really the most constructive thing you could say and the most constructive way to say it?

It's actually pretty cool to play with. I don't know how much fun writing a whole complex game would be, but I was very impressed with it's syntax.

Great fun. Quick pointer though - the convention in IF games is to map X (for eXamine) to look at. Kept tripping me up.

I adore threads like this. They really bring to focus exactly how much more I have to learn.

Nice article. I very much enjoyed looking through Schlumbohm's inventions from that MoMA link. The Aeropress is mostly the modern version of the Chemex, in an innovative and affordable sense, but it's still lacking in aesthetic pl

Worth reading their interview today on The Verge[1]. Seems like automatic tracking is providing far more valuable data than check-ins. [1]: http://www.theverge.com/2014/5/1/5666062/foursquare-swarm-ne...

IMO it has a really nice interface for a CLI. Lots of sensible colour coding and some of the clearest instructions/error messages I've come across.

Bit late to this game, but in theory would this let me do the following? 1. Set up a VM using CentOS to mimic my deployment environment 2. Distribute that to several people, including some running Windows and OSX, and have it automatically

This is startlingly true. The more I dive into development and open-source solutions, the more worrying this becomes. Edit: to maybe relieve the concerns of downvoters: I find it worrying because there are lots of generally productive and i

Another alternative to this is to develop in a local multisite install. Not suitable for every scenario, but good enough for 90% of sites in my experience.

Some things worth noting: Depth of field increases as the focus point moves deeper into the frame. Depth of field decreases as your lens length increases. Depth of field decreases as your sensor size increases. The A570 will have a relative

I think it's a lot better than that. This Londoner moved to Glasgow about 8 years ago and lived there for 2 years, and rarely even had anyone comment on my Englishness. The only amusing thing was that I was forcibly introduced to every

For extreme impracticality, you could have server-side generated CSS which outputs the right CSS values depending on what time it's requested. Then no JS is required.

Codekit is a beautiful, comprehensive and powerful solution for those who don't want to/don't feel comfortable setting up Grunt or Gulp. If you're one of those people, it comes highly recommended.
