I hope folks don't mind this rather off-topic question here. Is there a JavaScript-based equivalent to Django or Rails? My (limited) understanding is that node.js, Meteor et al are rather different beasts.
Sublime Text. Better Terminal Emulator Pro.
I think good-ol' vi follows this convention to split sentences, which can then be skipped using parentheses. vim modernized this.
Thanks. I can see your point about "btn" and, to be honest, I'm just getting started with Bootstrap. These points are a bit confusing at first.
Thanks. Yes, the way I humbly see it is that you could always add pre-made or custom-made classes that would alter the default behavior.
A very insightful reply. Thanks.
People paid $50+/copy for their browser.
But this stopped precisely in early 1998. Such a major gain for IE from 1997 to 1998 (or before) would have made more sense based on this aspect.
Thanks! I'll be eagerly waiting for my access code ;-)
Does anybody know how much the Candle Plan is likely to cost once Firebase leaves beta? Assuming that plan will remain in place, that is.
What do you think of Zepto?
Please pardon my security ignorance, but I can't understand why Gmail takes this action while accepting incoming email from unsigned servers. That is, I like to toy with out-of-the-box Postfix setups in VPSes, and Gmail (still) accepts messages from my test domains. (Well, maybe the first one gets flagged as spam, but still.)
Considering that I have taken no actions whatsoever to secure/sign my server, why does Google consider this legitimate? I find it inconsistent. Also, isn't DNS unencrypted in the first place? Is there something like HSTS for mail?
Thanks in advance for any help in clarifying this.
Edit: HSTS, grammar.
When I lived in the US I was puzzled to find, say, May magazine issues available in newsstands as early as mid April. Similarly, it seems not only acceptable, but indeed expected, for major companies to review the year before it's over.
Can Americans (or else) shed some light on this phenomenon?
"Why are people using what I will call pluralized modifiers on what I would consider singular nouns?"
English isn't my native language, but I feel British usage is consistent with the way the word "people" is treated on both sides of the pond.
First off, thanks for commenting! The (wild guess) idea is that a large sector of the market do most of their phone/tablet browsing at home, at the office, but not when they're away. Then most people may take pictures, videos, etc. (I guess this could hurt geotagging), but I claim that tethering would remain off most of the time.
Come to think about it, with the low-end SIM cards available today a second SIM card would make sense and eliminate the need for tethering altogether.
A good start in my wish list would be greater (and prettier!) competition to VEGA.
Where have you felt a stunning difference? I'm curious as to whether YouTube et al live up to such a demanding connection. Thanks.
Does this mean that YC holds the copyright on HN comments?
Will it be an option to serve unencrypted content under HTTP 2.0?
Past and current Googlers that frequent HN are notoriously absent from this thread. Come on, guys! Surely your NDA must allow some vague commentary...
"CircleCI" makes more sense than "CircleCi", though both can be found on your website. Congratulations on such a compelling service.
Recommended article: [1], with an extensive discussion in HN [2].
I have been using Name.com for a while, and I like their approach to security. Though I must say... I once forgot my password (made it way too complicated) and in addition to a fee all it took to recover my account was to send a scan of my ID card. I think I'll write up some modest proposals for this industry. Moniker's MaxLock is too expensive and imprecise.
Boy, was that a long answer to your question!
I was disappointed with Gandi in terms of security features. On the plus side, they allow you to disable password resets, but then this is fairly standard. On the other hand, they don't offer two-factor authentication or login notifications. Moreover, they inexplicably publish your "handle" under your whois information (as "nic-hdl"). This gives away the username, arguably making targeted attacks significantly easier.
Edit: grammar.
What do you feel could happen if somebody profiled you?
As I tend to use in very simple situations, I happen to like curl's default use of stdout. Not a very compelling reason, I know.
How does this work? Philippine users accessing this URL don't get charged at all, regardless of their data plan? If so, does Google pick up the tab?
I hope this gains traction before it's closed as subjective or such...
"It exists to avoid a deadlock."
What do you mean? Tight popular votes at most require a runoff between the two most popular candidates. If anything, this [1] 2004 NYT article gives the traditional reason:
"The Electoral College's supporters argue that it plays an important role in balancing relations among the states, and protecting the interests of small states."
But it goes on to convincingly counter:
"A few years ago, this page was moved by these concerns to support the Electoral College. But we were wrong. The small states are already significantly overrepresented in the Senate, which more than looks out for their interests. And there is no interest higher than making every vote count."
For the record, I'm not American either, but if I were I'd feel much better and meaningful during presidential campaigns living in, say, Ohio or Florida, instead of New York or Texas.

I take this opportunity to thank linker3000 on his/her recommendation to get a Note [1]. Even though I can only wish I were a busy IT professional, just as a technology enthusiast I'm in awe, having received my Note II this week.
I'd like to point out that, interestingly enough, the most disappointing aspect has been reading online text, such as HN, but not limited to it: my modest, Gingerbread-based HTC Explorer does a wonderful job wrapping text in its now seemingly tiny screen, and yet this Jellybean technology makes me reach for Accessibility options, for some reason makes it really hard to upvote [2], and Chrome's fancy font boosting technology manages to make some of the HN comments annoyingly small.
But still, it's hard not to drool...
