   Thanks! And if you all put on a Vim conference, I would love to attend :) (Vim has like 5x the users of Emacs, right? that makes it easy :P)

   We'll actually be switching to Discourse soon :) Believe me, I am no fan of Google Groups. I didn't know that Discourse had community wikis. Then we can switch off of GitHub too (plus, git is a bit heavyweight for what is essentia

   How far along is hugo? I tried and failed to make the blog I wanted with it and had to hack around its deficiencies. I appreciate the fact that it's a single static binary, but its directory structure is overly complicated and arbitrar

   Has this ever happened before? I'm genuinely curious, as I've heard this warning often but it seems more like FUD than anything else.

   I agree, Docco-style docs are really easy to read. I built srcco, a Docco-style doc generator that links every variable, function, etc. within your project to its definition (similar to sourcegraph.com -- full disclosure: I work at Sourcegr

    srcco uses srclib to link references to their definitions and to remove the comments from the code view. I only added comment offsets to srclib-go, so srcco only works with Go for now, but I want to add them to the other srclib toolchains t

    We've been working hard to make srclib's backend more powerful, and we've just started to build features that take advantage of the new backend. I've sent you an email, and we'd love to work more closely as srclib n

    The latest version of Gnome, 1.4, detects high res displays out of the box and scales everything automatically (except for applications that don't use GTK3, like Chrome, but Firefox with the Gnome theme scales well).

    For the tests where the speed difference is significant, these are really areas where the python optimizer (I assume the bytecode compiler does some optimization?) needs to improve. Humans shouldn't be concerned with such small differe

    I don't understand why the comments on the blog post are so hostile. Lots of people were calling for this person's head, when what they distributed is fairly tame.

    This doesn't have anything to do with the commenter above: they're looking at the wind speed for their area, not the wind in alaska. If the wind speed on the site is radically different from the speed outside their window, then co
