A hoard, surely, rather than a horde. Hacker News readers are a horde. The newly-released documentation is a hoard. Assuming this is correct: http://grammarist.com/spelling/hoard-horde/

Kinda had this happen. My ex-partner and close friend - "my rock" as I called her - Amanda "Moo" Hearn died a few years ago, just a few weeks after being diagnosed with ovarian cancer. I'd not called her for a coupl

Bought. Nice. One thing: the icon has ended up as the far-left icon in my menu bar, and vanishes at anything less than full resolution. I might need to get BarTender, to help deal with that, but perhaps you can do something to help. Maybe I

Shame they're not tracking its use, at least just for fun: I can't see an HTTP request going out when I click the toggly link. The Wikipedia page quoted elsewhere here cites a Guardian and Observer (same company) poll reporting 54

Do people really do this on the native OS on a Mac? I use Macs for all my work, but we deploy to Linux, so that's what runs in all the VMs I run on my Mac. Currently I even use Eclipse in an Ubuntu VM to do the work. I wouldn't kn

Yeah, that happened to me on the first couple of tries. I parsed the '/' as meaning 'or', but of course it means a slash, here.

Exactly. Hopefully she can get some therapy and learn how better to deal with her triggers.

In her blog post, Adria writes: "I realized I had to do something or she would never have the chance to learn and love programming because the ass clowns behind me would make it impossible for her to do so." Hey, that's a strong claim. This

I've been working with @birdsarah at the PyCon sprints on our first commit to Django. We've had super patient help from core developers Julien, Carl, Aymeric and Honza. Then I wanted to get in touch with one of the people who'd originally w

That is so me. I'm too busy right now though. My LinkedIn profile starts with "Not looking for free soda, free lunches, nerf guns or ping-pong; just a nice cup of tea in the morning, a few potted plants, mature processes, and perhaps a grea

We're trying out DjangoPyPI 2 to host our own PyPI. Seems very actively maintained, and works a treat, despite it being still early days. http://djangopypi2.readthedocs.org/en/latest/ For now though we'll probably just create a new git re

Thanks! Not to be picky about the punctuation or anything, but I would have thought a comma would be good here: "Each icon is a single Photoshop shape layer, meaning ..." Alternatively, replace "meaning" with "so"? Thanks again!

Yeah, that was the one that grabbed my attention. My mum and dad met in 1968 through a computer dating agency in London. Friends are often skeptical that such a thing existed back then. Nice to have this to show them.

I realized this about me too, the other day. I'm completely unrealistic about schedule for the first half-an-hour or so after I wake up. So I try to get as much done the evening before so there's less risk of that unrealism trashing my morn
