Hey all, I saw a huge spike in traffic and tracked it back to HN. Thanks for caring. Let me summarize a few points. I've tried to reply in-thread. I recognize this approach isn't for everyone or for frequent air travelers, but I walk ever

When did I ever suggest storing your SSN in the cloud was a good idea? Had I said that, I would agree, my point of view would be silly, but I didn't.

Did your regular workstation cost 250? Does it weigh virtually nothing so that you can tromp all about town easily? Can you pick up your hacking session while at the apple store if you happen to have no computer whatsoever with you? That'

Fair enough. I never travel, so the plane argument isn't really applicable. I also have linux running on this thing now so, i think that objection will go away soon. And yes, the VPS/month is a cost, but I pay that anyway regardless the pl

1. You should know vi comfortably. When you get on a low space embedded system vi will usually be there: emacs is too space prodigal and forget any GUIs. 2. But vi isn't the best for iOS dev or J2EE and I recognize this. But my work is

I don't think there's a market for a terminal product. I just want a terminal emulator that's pretty. Part of what I love about term + tmux development is precisely that it lacks so much visual noise.

The chrome book is extremely light. It was also 250, much cheaper and lighter than the lenovo. I've also been able to use a local ubuntu on this machine, not that it matters too much since I'm on a VPS, but i guess on planes or something I

OP: after this there should be no complaints from Angular, Backbone, or Batman that Ember has insufficient documentation for building a real app. Between this and / or trek.github.com you should be good to build a serious Ember applicatio

A) Extend your runway – heh you may just find a reason to never leave, happens often there. B) I don't know what your transit costs are going to be, SF has wonderful transit. You could make the investment in a Muni pass and be able to ex

( link to web page was for context ) Very good factors you've provided here. My main concern is lack of portability of my dead-tree library. If I could save even /half/ the # of boxes to move I'd be much happier.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that they use a spell checker on this document and catch egregious errors like "Los Angels" and be it; FURTHER RESOLVED they hire a decent copy-editor to notice further egregious errors like "closing tie."

I'm a bit surprised this is a top link off of HN, I remember it topping reddit many years ago – hardly hacker “news.” As I said about this product then, taking 3 tabs of LSD should not be required before reading a “how to program in this la

While many responses are going to be "yawn", especially in the face of the git juggernaut, a great many enterprise systems are locked into svn for the foreseeable future (given economic forecasts, IT departments aren't getting tons of budge

I daresay this may be one of the big e /vi war points. “Great application for emacs! Emacs rules!” Vim user: Why the hell would you want to use an /editor/ to edit video? Use iMovie or something. If you want to edit TEXT then lets talk

I agree, and I should have said this, “Money as Debt” takes a conspiracy turn at about halfway. I'm a reminded of Adam Savage's "Do you mean Tesla the inventor of AC power, the genius or Tesla the nut-job?". I very much liked your explanat

I read _AS_ when I was 18 and I've thought about this quotation a lot through the last 20 months, as Reddit frothed about Ron Paul, Gold Standard, Banking collapse, etc. As I've thought more and more about it, something seems off about Fra

What's the technical advantage of dropbox over, say, jungledisk? Differentiators: - Jungledisk uses S3 which I, in principle like. - Jungledisk adjusts what they charge me with what I use versus charging me a flat rate when I want > 2GB

As _why alludes to, I think the best work being done in this area is by Alan Kay and his work with Squeak in the squeakland project: http://www.squeakland.org/ I think it could easily be ported to a variety of platforms. And _why's total
