Related and fun: the Fremont Cabal Internet Exchange[1]. The person who started it has a great blog[2] about all kinds of related things. There’s a really good interview[3] with hi…

Thanks for clarifying. I certainly didn’t mean to disparage Red at all - the language seems interesting and the project admirable. I’m really eager to dive in and explore, but I’m …

I discovered Red (and its predecessor Rebol) a few months ago and was really excited about it - very interesting blend of ideas that seems to hit a sweet spot for GUI scripting. Th…

You’re right about Neovim’s effect on Vim improvements and lighting a fire in Bram. Even if neovim goes belly-up (unlikely), or totally diverges (slightly less unlikely), they’ve d…

I’m torn by the idea of replacing vimscript with lua. I honestly enjoy both languages (vimscript is not as bad as its reputation!) but they each shine in different use-cases. Lua i…

Archive.org has a really impressive collection of old software and emulators to run it. Check out https://archive.org/details/software They and their patrons (myself included) woul…

Silly as this product is, as a kid I always wished for something like this to up the immersiveness of video games. Maybe it would be doubly effective now with VR. Getting it in a r…

Comment of the day :)

As a designer I would never hand over my designs to one of those chop shops. Any designer worth his salt can code his own designs. I don't trust the psd2html services to give me hi…

Marked "read later". ;)

An admittedly cursory comparison shows that Hoptoad isn't free. That could be reason enough right there. (edit: beat to it!)

"The good life" means different things to different people.

I'd love one. It looks pretty sweet. My email's jr@juanpatten.com Thanks!

Ultras rock. There is no better experience than running as the sun goes down knowing you've been running since it came up. And all your friends have awakened, watched reruns, eaten…

Wow. This is a great guide. The diagrams really help in understanding, and the writing is clear. Thanks for putting in the time to help others. Keep up the good work.

Hey, sorry for the late reply. Thanks for mentioning Review Board. I'm a big Django fan anyway, so at the very least it'll be insightful to review it. Thanks. And I guess we're out…

I've recently been trying to find an open-source solution similar to proofhq.com, getbackboard.com, etc... I'd like to host it myself. Basically something that allows for teams to …

$10 million after taxes and I never work again. Invest half in various ventures and live comfortably off the interest from the other half.

It'd be nice if there was a reader that auto-unsubscribed you from feeds after a certain time. I like to subscribe to comment feeds of discussions I'm involved in, but after a whil…

I play 5-string banjo, 3-finger style. It grabbed hold of me and now it just sucks up my time. But it's worth it. I'm getting pretty good, so who cares about doing actual work. :D
