Ha, that's awesome/awful. mod_ruby did exist at one point, but I don't think it's been updated in years. http://modruby.net/en/

Ah, it helps automate the maintenance of that particular window structure. Nice.

I don't understand. What does this do that vim buffer windows don't already manage?

Hm, odd. I can't seem to find it. It used to be at duckduckgo.com/karma.html. Additionally the widget doesn't seem to be current (my scores are all out of date). Aw, I sure hope it's still online, but I sure can't find it.

That's odd, it should autofollow. I've seen it go under heavy load before where the autofollow took several hours to complete.

Check out your.flowingdata: http://your.flowingdata.com/ It allows you to record and create beautiful charts from any arbitrary data you want to send it. It gets the data by you tweeting direct messages to it, so it's really easy to do fr

The resume should be a simple listing of your claimed skills and work history. To really stand out write a cover letter that sells what you've done and makes the case for your benefit to the company. If you want to go further, create a pers

For evaluating the likeability of a song? Yes, but it (like Starbucks) is a known quantity. 10-30 seconds of listening.

Mmm, I like your line of thinking with a subscription model for apps although there's still an unknown time investment for any new app. Try out this app and spend five minutes on it? Eh, maybe. Subscription music services work very nicely b

The Starbucks coffee cup also has a definitive endpoint. I buy the coffee, I enjoy it, the end. When I buy your amazing app v0.1 I'm also signing up for a time investment of unknown quantity. At the very least I will have to wait for it to

Ahh, that's awesome and I haven't seen it before. I'll add that in later when I fix my omission of git add -p.

Mmm, a title tailor-made for the HN frontpage but disappointingly lacking in content. It's just a thin layer on top of a call to action for this new CI service. The service itself may be awesome but I didn't learn anything about it from thi

That's absolutely right and a bit of functionality I had thought I had written up in my post. D'oh! There's also `git add -p` that takes you straight into the patch mode.

Aw, I thought for a second that was an actual subversion command. I don't doubt that the perl script handles it effectively though.

by xyzzyb 14y ago
No way! That's awesome. Thanks for the clue.

by xyzzyb 14y ago
Hm, interesting. So I could: - fork a repo on github - use svn to access that repo - use svn to make a local/remote branch - code code code - commit and push up to github - then use github pull requests as usual?

by xyzzyb 14y ago
Yeah, I should say "no github pull requests".
81.
by xyzzyb 14y ago
Yeah? That's awesome. Do you mean that the metadata fails to work with branches or that merging itself fails?
82.
by xyzzyb 14y ago
That's really cool, thanks for cluing me in. But it looks like it's just limited support. Does it support all the github things like forks, pull requests, etc? Do you have a link to an SVN repo on github? I'd love to check one out.

Exactly. Stripe is probably one of the easiest integrations I've ever done. In fact, their tutorials are so well written and their signup so frictionless that I'd say that any interested website creator should have little trouble setting up

Hey, thanks for that. I haven't seen vrome before. I'll definitely give it a whirl.

I did, but don't like that it can't be as completely integrated into the browser as a plugin can in Firefox.

by xyzzyb 14y ago
I looked at Vimium but was put off by its implementation. It seems that Chrome simply doesn't allow a plugin to be as completely integrated as Firefox.

I actually used pentadactyl first, but the bugs grew too much for me so I switched. http://www.wikivs.com/wiki/Pentadactyl_vs_Vimperator

Switching to vim made me switch to Firefox from Chrome so I could install Vimperator.

I think you're either forgetting, or never directly experienced, how much nicer TextMate was (and is) for dealing with files that mix different languages. PHP/HTML, Javascript/HTML, CSS/HTML, etc. TextMate automatically detects the language
