YouCompleteMe - A code-completion engine for Vim 13 years ago

Had latest vim installed from source already on Mac with +python support.

I already use Pathogen so I didn't use the suggested Vundle.

Just placed YouCompleteMe in ~/.vim/bundle/

ran the ./install.sh in the YouCompleteMe bundle directory and it worked.

Thank you guys, this seems awesome so far! :)

Ask HN: What's the best desk/chair combo for developers? 13 years ago

I think Aeron is the best and definitely worth it.

The best write up I've seen explaining the pro's and con's of an Aeron is here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R1MUWGLPM341EB/

I was also doing this research and definitely Aeron is the way to go. My other chair after sitting in it for hours caused my lower back to hurt so bad. If you sit for hours on end working like most of us here, Aeron is the only choice you can be sure to cure lower back pain.

Make sure to get the lower lumbar support "Pad" not the "PostureFit" option. The above link explains why PostureFit is more or less useless even though it is a few bucks cheaper.

As for Desks, I love this stainless steel one, it's relatively cheap and looks pretty awesome and easy to keep clean: http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/S69871067/

I've had both the chair and desk for years, and they still look brand new.

Hope that helps!

Show HN: Zerobox – a small lightbox 13 years ago

Well, I have actually been going through many lightbox clones lately and almost all have a dependency on jQuery. The problem lies in when you are trying to inject a lightbox into a page you are not the creator of and they are using a very old outdated jQuery, causing conflicts. (When used for making browser extensions etc). This would be perfect for me if it was not dependent on jQuery and loaded iFrames and inline html (other options out there are bloated and outdated), but regardless, awesome job and thank you for the contribution :)
