Hey, somehow my reply didn't worked a few days ago; I'll rewrite it then. I've been using vim-mode which I find quite nice. Of course, nothing is perfect but this is far from being clunky. I like the philosophy behind it of taking the goo

Well, to make a long story short, I've tried dozen of editors and my favorite, by far, was vim. But I hate vimscript and the programming interface. Everytime I had to configure/code something was really a pain for me. And I tried Emacs in t

Ok well, it's been 3 hours I'm on the website; reading, looking the source, bookmarking lots of things, buying new games and books. This guy is simply amazing. Please, do yourself a favor and get a look at these links: http://worrydream.co

Looking at his website, his resume and his project, I just feel like stopping everything I do. A little bit like if you start to run for a couple miles and after 5-6 when you're pretty tired, you ask your friend how much remains. And he smi

Looking at this wallpaper, I've just realized that everything on it was already in my muscle memory. Ironically, two weeks ago, I've switched to Emacs. It was the best decision I've ever made: I've got everything Awesome with Emacs, and tha

This one pops up from time to time; always an interesting read though.

The good point: I really like the website; it's well done and look professional. I'd be confident enough to pay for the service. The bad news: I really don't see a reason to use this service. There's already a thousand calendar event remind

This is cute, but not really realist. I.e. The test written before configuring the Django Admin.. how can you know what links you have to click if you don't see the page?

Interesting post even though I'd admit that I'm not a huge fan of "I'd watch it again". For instance, some movies are really hard (huge drama, etc.), or particularly long, or even have a huge punch at the end. These movies would have a "r

May I add: Usually, scraping is a "one time only job", so feel free to use all the hack you want to get the job faster. For instance, wget/grep into a file, use vim to clean it up a bit, mix some awk, perl or bash. The goal is just to get t

Not to be harsh but I'm surprised this has hit the first page.. especially the top 3. Parse' competitors have included some pricing, lots of great startups change/add pricing every day and we never see them on HN. Maybe it's me being too

Asking without searching first is disrespectful against users of that forum who spend time to answer questions. It's a little bit like saying "Instead of wasting 30secs of my life to search and try on my own, I'll waste 30secs of yours." Pe

Oh, something great about Arch also is the documentation. It's awesome; the best I've seen so far.

Archlinux.. Everytime I re-install it and see "make command not found" is a priceless moment for me. You really build your own OS over time.. installing only what you need. Everything is kept simple (simple as in there's not 10 levels of

Maintainability is not just about you changing your code later on; it's about someone else trying to understand what you were thinking when you write it.. and then change it. Tests make that process way easier. You can add your new feature

You don't mock the drivers.. you abstract the database layer to test for a particular data. For instance, you make getName() returns empty string, 1000 wide character string, strings with unicode, etc. It's not about MySQL; it's about what

I don't get why the fact that TDD drives good design is a bad thing. When you're not testing your code, it's easy to start taking shortcuts and coupling modules that should have been kept separated. TDD forces you to think about "modular de

Personally, I always stash or commit my files before merging with another branch. I feel like not doing so is asking for trouble.

Yeah. That's the hack I use, but it makes it a bit no pythonic.

I'm an avid python user and a big problem I have is that you can't finish a line with '.' and continue on the next line. For instance: some_object. do_something(..). do_something_else(..). Doesn't work. It needs to be written

Couldn't you use the chrome inside IE6? Or a virtual environment with a real browser? (To be honest, I'm not sure if I'd just prefer going with links instead of ie6..)

Also, I suppose the renderer will be smart about rendering it to the right dimension.. so on the client side, there will be way less calculation. I.e. Instead of trying to figure out if the next div goes on the same row or the next one, tha

Also, to get something up quick and dirty with a vps or shared host, is fairly easy, I'll agree with you. However, as you need to get more power, it becomes more problematic. With Heroku, the "quick and dirty" way is actually quite robust a

In Canada, spottify is illegal. So I had to "hack the system" to get an "illegal" software in order to get music legally. (Had to register and download the app from a us proxy and asked a friend living in us to pay with his credit card.)
