This is a very well maintained and mature open source project. But allow me to say that I absolutely loathe Code::Blocks. I am still at university and they make us use this for C++ editing. I have made it a point to not use it and instead h

I was working on something similar, but I'd like to point out that Daniel Higginbotham released http://jobsearchsanity.com as well.

Thank you for sharing. Anecdotes like this is why I love visiting HN. They also help me humanize some of my CS heroes. FWIW, I'd also love to see the autographs.

I wanted the same, ie speed with ease of templating, so I made Griffin[1] which uses handlebars templates and can parse 5000 markdown pages in ~8 seconds on my machine. [1] https://github.com/pawandubey/griffin

Ah, Haskell. I find it equal parts fascinating and scary. I definitely won't start at Haskell, although I would surely want to come to it at some point of time. Static typing looks nice.

Thanks for compiling such a great resource. I have had a look at it, and will go through it this weekend. I have also been doing some 4clojure in my spare time. Although Brave and True looks like a great book, its not for me. I would love a

Yes. But I'd rather give it to moxie than anybody else.

Clojure. I think I should stop thinking and really learn that language now. It seems very tempting as a first functional language.

FWIW, this was my biggest gripe with it too. I did not start using WhatsApp till 2014 while all of my friends had already switched a couple of years back. I was happy with Facebook messenger, but i was forced to switch to be in the loop. Al

There's not much wrong with being the product as long as you are aware of that distinction. The problem arises when people aren't aware because this in essence takes away their right(option, if you will) to refuse to use the servi

Bitbucket allows only 5 contributors for free private repos. Gitlab allows unlimited. That is the major point of distinction, imo. Especially for medium sized projects.

The easiest way to do that would be to change your theme to some video blog wordpress theme, I am sure there are many good free ones available.

Jack White isn't a great singer, but he might just be one of the 5 greatest guitarists alive today. I'd argue he is the best guitarist alive. As I read somewhere, Jack White is in his own personal genre.

How does mobile penetration relate to the type of devices the people are using? India has almost 80% mobile penetration, but less than half of that is using smart/multimedia enabled phones. I'd estimate that Egypt's condition

Not bad at all. However, I see some problems with the demo. 1. The search doesn't seem to work. At all. 2. The note edit box is way too small by default compared to the available space on the page. 3. Why is there a "Notes" i

Most of the people who will actually end up using the service will be middle class people who can afford to pay for the internet and have been doing so but want to take it for a spin and see how it feels. The poorest who can't afford

This is an honest question. In what areas of the industry does C++ dominate the language landscape except hardware drives? I used to think this was true for games but I've seen most studios move to C# as the community has matured aroun

As for the public/private debate, at least for schools, I can some points. Indian school system is very different from the US ones. Majority of the schools, both public and private follow curriculum set by either two central boards (CB

The problem with Facebook is that it's trying to invent problems for its solution. It has been my observation that the limited internet accessibility in India is less because of people not being able to afford it (internet is quite che

That's incorrect. People in India already have access to pretty cheap internet. A one day ~50MB GPRS pack costs $0.1 and can be voluntarily renewed daily. That's ₹10. And for the extremely poor(who are being targeted by Facebook)

Amazon's service is head and shoulders above any other ecommerce player in India. Despite its late entry, it has largely replaced Flipkart as the provider of choice. This is almost exclusively due to the stellar service and customer su

I don't use a static file "CMS", but I use my own generator[1] which I made because I wanted something really fast. If you want a flat file cms, then a Google search will throw a lot of them. Kirby is the most popular, IMO. B

I love Armin's work, especially Flask, but this seems like lot of other products out there. I have no incentive to switch to this from the generator I'm already using, and for non-techy people I think it's still a big jump in

Java is used in the back end of several high performance web applications as well. Twitter uses JVM and so does The Guardian, for example. Not sure what your point is. Your criticism of Java for being slow is 1) very 2006 and 2) incorrectly
