Wow everybody serious on ycombinator. Can't even make a joke about Al Gore anymore.

Ajax started with Al Gore, without whom the internet would have never been invented :p

I tried Ubuntu 12.10 again briefly and was disappointed that intel HD4000 wasn't fully supported in 3D. Graphics is dog slow in Ubuntu on the same hardware. It looks like shopping …

These look like good moves. While Microsoft and Ubuntu are shunning their desktop users, Apple is making me look the smarter for choosing a company who still stands believes in a d…

Why did he color certain characters? It makes those chars standout which defeats the purpose of choosing a font for distinct shapes.

Just wondering how many people have actually installed Bing Desktop, Google Desktop or any other desktop search on Windows. Why does Ubuntu think their more discriminating user bas…

ty, never heard of that one

Nice, almost fits my desktop perfectly! Here's what it looks like on #! (crunchbang). http://i.imgur.com/2zXWWD2.jpg Some suggestions: * replace folder icons with simple triangle a…

How do these CEOs make the noobest mistake? Know your customer base! JC Penney was never an upscale department store. Did he all of the sudden think it would become one with a stag…

What bootstraps package manager?

+1 Actually, things are stored in a few directories. It took a while to figure out where Sublime stores everything so I could write a dotfiles script for it. Having to set things u…

I just wish Sublime didn't have a mine of its own. It has a bad habit of rewriting my config with my comments removed.

Thanks for reminding me how cool my geocities pages were. Flat UI meh. I got the hammer with baloon pants bringing life to my page!

Not sure if Bitcoins are a good investment. All it takes is a western country (say Switzerland) to create an online currency and Bitcoins will sink faster than a Carnival ship.

I think some of us die hards push the pure vim way too hard. For example, while in insert mode `end` is easier than `esc A` `ctrl+home` easier then `esc g g i` ... Yehuda's advice …

Competition is good. Nobody wants to be left behind by Google, so time for Apple and MS to step it up again.

These kinds problems can easily be solved with promises too. It would be even simpler if `fs.stat` returned a promise and there are promise libraries that do that. Promises is a sm…

$1600, you woud think MS would be doing everything they can to entice developers, dbas and sysadmins by making these conferences free. They threw hundreds of millions away on the X…

Never noticed the arrow, and it seems I'm not the only one. The font weight and contrasting colors overpower the subtle negative space.

All I can say is DBase IV. If you don't innovate, you will get replaced. They're trying to do too much. Stick to your bread and butter.

I know some are salivating over this but it's still far behind the DevTools built into Chrome. For example, how do you inspect the DOM? How you do you look at generated runtime ele…

In case anyone is looking for a more complete solution, search PlantUML. It supports almost all UML diagrams. I use sequence, class and activity diagrams. PlantUML uses Java. Themi…

This is the reason I love git---distributed. I can keep on keeping on despite these silly attacks (if they really are DDoS).

Google+ hangouts rock for development teams. The multiple screenshares is great for looking over someone's shoulder and getting feedback from your peers. It's the first thing I tur…
