   Switched around for a long time, then realized that the coolest thing about Kod was the default font, so I stole it for vim: The M+ Fonts: hugely recommended - http://mplus-fonts.sourceforge.jp/

   Er, I should have specified "on a Mac." Foobar is Windows-only AFAIK.

   Miro's a very cool project - the Participatory Culture Foundation does a bang-up job of productizing what they do and making it pretty. For someone who'd want to switch from iTunes for higher performance and simplicity, rather than just goi

   The name OrionHub makes me wish that open-source companies were more litigious, just so that we could have some variety in naming.

   Though, to his credit, in the little REPL that he shows, he typed ({"JSON":"rocks!"}), not {"JSON":"rocks!"} - the former is valid.

   This "Zed" guy has a "oh, cool" to "I WILL FIGHT YOU" transition time of about five minutes. It's sad that his short temper colors his excellent work so much. [1] Especially when this started with a compliment [0]... [0]: https://twitter.c

   There's Landsat data, that requires a bit of processing, and some low-res Blue Marble GeoTIFFs. For very small subsets, we're also really interested in kite mapping by grassrootsmapping: http://grassrootsmapping.org

   Until your location can be triangulated by enough towers, your location is a tower. Also, they're not O'Reilly researchers - one is an astrophysicist from Exeter and the other's a developer from Color.

    Journalist who hasn't done any research on sugar agrees with doctor who hasn't done any research on sugar. And this happens to be great linkbait. Tell me why I should pay for the New York Times, again?

    My company's 3rd most followed and 3rd most repos in DC! (and I'm 2nd in gists and 6th in repos) But it's DC so it doesn't count.

    Move Over Apple, My Dell Cost only $400 and I don't understand the fact that you're aiming for an upmarket quality play like usual! Computers are computers, tablets are tablets, right? Just like cars, right?

    This tends to work pretty well - I got into it via Joe's Goals, but got sick of the interface and tech, so built a command-line tool to do the same kind of thing - http://tmcw.github.com/habiter/

    Uh, the last four digits. If it was the whole thing, I'd say this is somewhat valid, but the required information seems to be kind of just... checking that they're real people.

    Haystack? You mean the MIT project? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haystack_(MIT_project) , the search tool http://haystacksearch.org/ , the horribly-implemented privacy tool http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haystack_(software) or...

    From the linked "Download Squad" "thinking" > Don't be mesmerized by the tawdry typography, though: with juicy propaganda it's always what isn't said that matters. There is no mention of IE9's hyperspeed JavaScript engine, Chakra. There

    Er, well CouchDB is kind of a different animal and is very far from supporting the kind of development workflow he's doing. CouchApp is very, very cool but very different and saying that things like this have been done is kind of pointless

    Yeah - this post doesn't actually contain any insight into whether or why Indian startups don't have programming talent, and why they specifically need to acquire it. It's just typical fundamentals of startup logic with a linkbait title.

    Indeed; this website is apparently designed for people who already know what it is, and the two links (Donate and Pre-Order) are bizarre. Why donate to a commercial project? Why pre-order an open source project?

    Don't really get this one. First off, PHP doesn't have the deploy/run process of Sinatra/Ruby/Node/etc. Second, 1.8 mil isn't much money; that's probably the amount you could bootstrap with some past success. And the business-plan-like grap
