You mentioned running nodejs + typescript over extensive frameworks like django now. Curious if you chose to write your own framework or are you using something from nodejs space to do "batteries included" thing for you?

Asking because I've had some experience with nest.js and even though it's fun it often feels hackish and a bit messy even when solving standard issues like authorization that's not a simple app wide RBAC.

Agreed. This should probably be under ShowHN. I was expecting to see an semi-finished product here. And even the first sentence of the "About The Project" section states:

Ox is a text editor with IDE-like features.

And then we had the actual feature list, current version seems to be 0.2.5.

Auto indentation (0.3.0) Auto brackets (0.3.1) Auto complete (0.3.2)

Which are quite essential for calling something "IDE like".

Other than that. It looks nice. I've seen people calling it an Nano replacement in the comments here, which seems to be missing the big point of nano - it's easily available in a lot of *nix systems by default.

This is amazing. I've been thinking about doing something similar with one of the old Lubitel's I have laying around. Something simpler, twin lense of Lubitel allows me to bypass the whole screen thing which should make the entire build pretty straightforward due to having a lot of space just for a RPI, power and lense.

I probably won't get to building it, though, but this was a very interesting read nonetheless.

Yeah, from now until end of December there's just one listing for a metal festival in Europe.

I'm not really expecting to see all the small ones but would be nice to have the major ones at least.

Site looks nice and it's kind of comfortable to skim over the stuff and filter a bit. I'm not really a huge fan of the genre icons, some of them don't really make sense for me and look a bit like placeholders imho.

Other than that, good job and good luck.

There's this anvaka guy on github ( https://github.com/anvaka ) who does some amazing graph stuff.

His ngraph has less features than cytoscape but if you need to plot large graphs it has a crazy good performance.

And his galaxies are amazing as well, https://anvaka.github.io/pm/#/?_k=9kvbgq . Precalculated positions for all NPM packages for example. Crazy stuff, really fun.

But yeah, cytoscape.js is nice and has great set of features.

Don't really have any frustrations to be honest. All my personal projects and stuff I do for fun (both mostly in ruby) I do on ubuntu 14.04. Use VIM, a lot of plugins and some custom CLI tools. Have never tried developing on Mac, though so maybe I just don't know what am I missing (windows isn't even a thing for ruby devs. And for good reason).

Only thing I'm kind of missing/sad about is lack of games on Ubuntu. Upside, though, I won't get lost in a "quick 20 minute brawl to clear my brain" that never lasts 20 minutes....

For sake of honesty, I do my daily job on windows. Stuff I use there is awesome. VS is nice, Windows domain works well enough and lync, outlook, fiddler, slack etc. are all nice. If, for w/e weird reason, I had to do my daily job on linux, I would be sad.

But most likely, I'm not frustrated with linux because I chose to use it for fun etc. If, in any point in my life, I would have been forced to use linux, I'd probably find a lot of problems with it.

//EDIT And uhm. I've never really had any problems with linux and hardware. For personal stuff I still run an old thinkpad t420s which hardware gets along with linux a lot nicer than it did with windows 8. Touchpad acts a bit better, touchpads 3rd button actually provides some nice functionality and most importantly, gsm card worked out of the box (something I never got up and running on windows 8). Once more, for sake of honesty, it shipped with windows 7 so maybe the drivers provided for the gsm card aren't compatible with win8. who knows.

Never had any problems with my desktops running Linux nor my previous thinkpad either.

I also use a lot of IRC. But it just seems that most of the networks are already rather quiet. Though Freenode, galaxynet and some others, I believe, are still growing?

Yeah. After butting some hours of research into this I'm afraid that would be a little too big project for me to start with currently. So from this site ( http://www.fentek-ind.com/FootPedal.htm#afs3usb ) I found a little idea which i just might try out. But instead of leg switches, I thought about adding a new modifier(s) under/near my palm rests (pressure switches I guess, but needs some testing first, what feels comfortable) to get brackets, colons, <> and other daily signs from the home row.

Well. I use a lot of unit testing because the idea of testing small pieces of code works for the way I develop software at work - modified pair programming. Instead of reviewing Holmes's code Watson writes tests (mostly unit ones).

At spare time, tho, I tend to be too lazy to write a lot of tests(most of my "projects" are too small and never get released to the public anyway)
