As I posted on the article: To me it feels a little like you're trying to solve a problem that doesn't exist. Just about everyone is familiar with the username/password paradigm, and honestly I've never seen anyone have a problem with it. U

Not really too helpful that it only goes to 2006. It would be interesting to see how this looks with PEP 3003 in place (the moratorium on syntax changes) — maybe not much different, but maybe a lot different…

I'm still divided how I feel about these things. On the one hand, I actually find them very useful for staging and unstaging changes and visualizing branch/merge history, but on the other I worry for the people whose only interaction with g

A lot of the points are certainly valid, though somewhat debatable. The #1 one-up (Multitasking) is set to become an iPhone feature in about a month. As for no notifications on the lock screen, have the authors never received a push notific

Absolutely beautiful UI, icon and website… but it doesn't do merge resolution. This is practically all I use opendiff (Filemerge) for, so it's useless for me. Add it, and my €29 are yours in a heartbeat — I tend to do lots of merges, and I

Yay! Just what the readers of Hacker News love to read… basic CSS tutorials! Can we have a "how to get amazing mouse cursors with JavaScript" one, too?

Really? We need advice on "Preventing Image Hot Linking with htaccess", and help with "Disabling Directory Browsing" — is everyone sure we don't need a tutorial on how to download and host Flash games and cool JS custom mouse cursor tricks
