I've become a big fan of ncurses software over the years without really realising. Newsbeuter, irssi, cmus/mocp, vim, mutt. It's the resource efficiency and speed of use that make the difference with their shiny UI counterpar

cmus in a similar vein, although annoyingly the Debian packaged version segfaults for me in some edge cases (adding large libraries, adding m4a files).

Inspiring. Someone actually doing it, and the way I hope to in a year or few. Keep talking it up and maybe even journal the process. I'd be keen to stay in the loop. May you have more luck than you know what to do with.

Can we get this guy a tonne of money, please? Seriously. That's actually a new concept to me and makes a lot of sense. Would people trust an Apple/MS implementation fully? I'm not convinced, but something cross-platform that

Can you tell us what your product is? Even in the most general terms, it will help figure out how far away from MVP you are.

If you're asking for sit/stand, not necessarily adjustable, grab one of these: http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/90087541/ And pair it with a bar stool. I've done just that a

I know this isn't ideal for most people, but you can run a low-power server (Rpi2!) at home with a Tmux session running and Finch/IRC open therein. You can catch up on your messages from any device.

Likewise. My first thought there was how it applied to martial arts. I've been told by a sparring partner to 'look at me' when sparring once, making me more aware of how I 'deconcentrate' my field of vision to take

Have been through a fair few FOSS feed readers since Reader went away. Currently settled on Newsbeuter but it doesn't get as much use as it should. I see this being scanned much more frequently, particularly due to the live stream view

First thoughts are offshore microstates, unregulated virtual currency banks, or be extremely well connected to financial and political figures. I'd be drawn towards an autonomous, low cost, high volume virtual operation. A traditional

Cool how a small, very soft launch spiralled into a huge virtual launch party. The product caught people's imagination and interest, you'd have to conclude.

I wonder what efforts were made to 'business-ise' and what the initial plans were. Was it reliance on serendipity for the good work to attract cash? It seems odd at first look, and forgive me if I'm way off base, to contribut

You'd probably want a reasonably stable version before i18n to avoid much of the back and forth with edits, additions, context queries etc. The more complete the picture your translators have, the better quality your efforts will yield

Really interesting repo and kind of a relief that mishaps happen to everyone, more or less. We can try to mitigate as best as possible, but these are just the high profile cases. Imagine the millions of internal post mortems carried out dai

Sounds like you could command a relatively decent salary, if you can prove your claims via portfolio or testing, but that would also depend on your location, presumably. Where are you based? SV, London, Nowhereville have massive differences

Good find, that was a great read. I'm not sure Japanese is being replaced, just going through a period of rapid change. Like many other languages living under English's shadow. I see French, one of the most conservative linguistic

That's it. But it's easier said than done in most cases - especially with actual paying work coming in every day. Blocking off a small amount of time every day takes a real big effort when all of the ground work is done and you&#x

Appreciate the point of view condensed into a one minute read. Reminds me to a) read less, do more and b) let users broadly dictate and test features.

Suppose you saw they had Swedish coming soon. Lots of mutual intelligibility there. Or is Norwegian a hard requirement? I say this as an English speaker who learned Swedish and now does OK with Norwegian after a little tuning.

Similar situation here. Frustrating as it is, it's The Right Thing to do. It's a shame that some people assume you're disinterested, but then don't return emails/calls. I heard about an old Norwegian guy who had alw
