Agree almost 100%. I do use vim mode for bash and it works great because lateral motion is most of what I'm doing there. But Sublime's vintage mode actually was the breaking point for me, and made me go whole hog back to vim. Clos

Codeschool is awesome, and gets pretty deep into everything you'd want to know.

Really like this idea. My grandmother has had alzheimers for about a decade. There was a time at the beginning when this would have helped her spirits.

Okay, can someone please explain how anything else is on the front page? Amazing work. My only comment is that the shortcode generator should be, well, shorter. For example you have A-Z and 0-9 which wouldn't match any existing/

I took his PLT class at Columbia and TA-ed the class later. Best professor I ever had. I believe he is now at West Point where students won't whine when he hurts their brains. Would like to see the book re-done with Haskell as the base (r

Very exciting, will use for sure. Enjoyed your Ruby book, btw.

I think it's a fantastic idea, congrats. My son is 1.5 yrs and loves playing with the ipad, though I am careful he doesn't use it as a tv. when he puts on another .5 yrs I'll definitely use your app.

Cool article. FYI - a HN reader is mentioned (Tobias Lutke): http://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=xal In this one case, Tobi might be more correct than bragging though... [edit - had wrong user account at first]

On the weight thing, as a former wrestler I can always guess my weight within a pound. I'm feeling 191 ... strips naked ... 191. Did have to strip naked to get the number I wanted though.

Agree 100%. If you want to start a startup and are not willing to learn to code you are either a coward or stupid or lazy. You don't need to be a full-on hacker, but if you haven't even tried to implement your vision (coders and funding be

Yep. And obviously if asked about Arash's role, Drew would say something classy like "I couldn't have done it without him". But that doesn't mean he couldn't/wouldn't.

Since dropbox's valuation might be bigger than that of all the other YC companies (including airbnb) combined, it serves as blazing evidence that you don't need a cofounder. Possibly the truth is that singlefounder companies have more strug

Fuck needing a technical-cofounder. PicDigest looks very cool, which means that YOU are already a technical founder. It's your baby, your burden. Bring in other people as you need them, but looks like you are good as you are. Feature reques

Disclaimer: I'm from an affected area (but all good now except for cable/internet). Why should they do more? They already open source a lot of their software ( https://github.com/photo ) and they are giving free lifetime accounts. Should t

The ability to double-speed videos makes MOOCs make sense immediately. I would love to see a "MOOClab" come to place that run, well, the lab components of classes. Dissections, Chemistry experiments, Foreign Language Conversations, and the

Feel free. Look forward to seeing how this language progresses. Seems to have elements of all my faves.

Beautiful language, congratulations. - Pattern matching is a sexy feature that is way needed in compile to JS languages - Using an actual lambda character is way badass. - Same goes for the inbuilt PhantomJS & Closure support - I like t

Elixir is awesome, it's like Ruby and Clojure having sex on an Erlang waterbed. However it still is maturing at a quick clip so I haven't done any production work in it. But since Jose Valim is probably my favorite developer alive, I have

Very well explained, you seem to know a lot about Javascript.

Even though I think this is a cool project, I agree 100% with your fears. I used to do Flash/Flex/Air extensively, and often preached it to my fellow developers, despite considerable resistance. I argued that SWF was fulfilling the cross-pl

I agree. I wish you could filter startup porn (and job ads) out of HN. But bootstrap is great for hackers who don't have design help so it really is "Hacker News".

Believe it or not (I'm mostly trolling with the video) I agree 100% and touched on this in the competitor/fear section of my application the other day.

I think those guides are awesome. It's not a straight up competition, but I believe if two similar startups are doing something very cool but one is more polished, it will make the other one look less impressive. Sort of like that line of

He's right * 100. Some of us can't understand being "internet social" just to get us more fake friends with fake laughs. Your grandpa didn't need to update his status every 10 minutes and he was the fucking man.

Do agree about apriori biased jury but since most of the people voting for extension are unaffected/unbiased that margin spoke loudest. Plus I control my own destiny more than some arbitrary date divinely hurled from the California clouds.

Because I'm a neurotic jew* so I disqualify myself from the jury as biased. * after writing this I just realized you're a founder of phaxio, and therefore a YU Grad :)
