"Welcome to Pathos II, your expressway to the stars. What started as a geothermal mining operation in the 60's has now become home to the Omega Space Gun."

Instead of "Ember is hard!" v. "No it isn't" i built a tool so that you can start writing Ember within seconds after checkout. Less blogging, more code.

Hey all, I saw a huge spike in traffic and tracked it back to HN. Thanks for caring. Let me summarize a few points. I've tried to reply in-thread. I recognize this approach isn't f…

When did I ever suggest storing your SSN in the cloud was a good idea? Had I said that, I would agree, my point of view would be silly, but I didn't.

Did your regular workstation cost 250? Does it weigh virtually nothing so that you can tromp all about town easily? Can you pick up your hacking session while at the apple store if…

Fair enough. I never travel, so the plane argument isn't really applicable. I also have linux running on this thing now so, i think that objection will go away soon. And yes, the V…

1. You should know vi comfortably. When you get on a low space embedded system vi will usually be there: emacs is too space prodigal and forget any GUIs. 2. But vi isn't the best f…

I don't think there's a market for a terminal product. I just want a terminal emulator that's pretty. Part of what I love about term + tmux development is precisely that it lacks s…

The chrome book is extremely light. It was also 250, much cheaper and lighter than the lenovo. I've also been able to use a local ubuntu on this machine, not that it matters too mu…

OP: after this there should be no complaints from Angular, Backbone, or Batman that Ember has insufficient documentation for building a real app. Between this and / or trek.github.…

A) Extend your runway – heh you may just find a reason to never leave, happens often there. B) I don't know what your transit costs are going to be, SF has wonderful transit. You c…

( link to web page was for context ) Very good factors you've provided here. My main concern is lack of portability of my dead-tree library. If I could save even /half/ the # of bo…

Hello, There are a number of ebook readers out there, although the Kindle marketing campaign might have you thinking otherwise. But hackers, my people, only here have people weighe…

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that they use a spell checker on this document and catch egregious errors like "Los Angels" and be it; FURTHER RESOLVED they hire a decent copy-editor to not…

I'm a bit surprised this is a top link off of HN, I remember it topping reddit many years ago – hardly hacker “news.” As I said about this product then, taking 3 tabs of LSD should…

While many responses are going to be "yawn", especially in the face of the git juggernaut, a great many enterprise systems are locked into svn for the foreseeable future (given eco…

I daresay this may be one of the big e /vi war points. “Great application for emacs! Emacs rules!” Vim user: Why the hell would you want to use an /editor/ to edit video? Use iMovi…

I went to the HP to avoid inanities in news coverage. This is quickly adding them to the inane list.

I agree, and I should have said this, “Money as Debt” takes a conspiracy turn at about halfway. I'm a reminded of Adam Savage's "Do you mean Tesla the inventor of AC power, the gen…

I read _AS_ when I was 18 and I've thought about this quotation a lot through the last 20 months, as Reddit frothed about Ron Paul, Gold Standard, Banking collapse, etc. As I've th…

What's the technical advantage of dropbox over, say, jungledisk? Differentiators: - Jungledisk uses S3 which I, in principle like. - Jungledisk adjusts what they charge me with wha…

As _why alludes to, I think the best work being done in this area is by Alan Kay and his work with Squeak in the squeakland project: http://www.squeakland.org/ I think it could eas…
