Yup, I'm aware and working on it.

My 2008 (Core 2 Duo) MBP died last week and I figured I'd upgrade rather than repair it (I felt the Core 2 Duo was aging fast). I borrowed my mother's low-end MBA for the time being and Fell In Love. It was great for Xcode development/tricked-out Emacs for remote dev. (pretty much all you need).

However, I ended up with a tricked-out MBP 15" w/ SSD & Hi-Res screen - the reason is I need the peripherals &etc. for heavy apps like Logic. But let me tell you, if you're going MBP 15" - cough up for an SSD, but also ... get the Hi-Res screen. It's only $100 extra and you will feel as if you have an absurd amount of screen real estate.

it is surprising because most people probably expect NSArray to just work like a plain array (see the naive C implementation)

The thing is, this team at Engadget has a really tight bond with its core fans ... their podcasts were more like listening in on a conversation between best friends rather than formal tech podcasts. It was just their style -- they/Josh wanted to up the game as far as they could, I mean, take a look at The Endgadget Show. Hell, compare their progress with Gizmodo's. I just feel like I have lots of faith in this team and Josh.

Lots of people say iStore.

This actually looked and performed great on the iPad 2. (You just couldn't move the shadow around)

specifically Engadget. So strange ... obviously none of them have declared what the real reason is yet.

I have totally been working on a site that would recommend music based on what your friends have been listening to. Similar to this, except it didn't have the great idea of tracking everything you listen to online through extensions. This is such a great idea. Congratulations guys!

Normally, my (favorite) CS professor would weigh code clarity more strongly than performance. However, he would sometimes put up assignments that focused almost entirely on the performance, in which he obviously changed the grading weights.

My question is, when will they force other clients to begin to use the Quickbar/#Dickbar? Or do you think this is just testing the waters?

P.S. I wouldn't mind them having it there if it wasn't so much darker and more distracting than the rest of the interface. I know it's supposed to catch your attention, but still.

It makes absolutely no sense that this should be on Hacker News.

And yes, I do know Trent is a `hacker` of sorts. But still.

github.

Seems that python devs are practicing the Zen of Python :-)

iStockPhoto?

this is awesome! I really hope this hits the fpage.

I'm building a web app because it doesn't exist yet and I want it to exist.

well ?

yeah same. using a 2006 iMac ... I'm assuming its a graphics card problem? The site says all of the graphics are rendered on the GPU...

Seriously, I recommend Riak to anyone who wants to experiment with NoSQL. I am using Riak w/ some MySQL and Riak is just SUCH a pleasure to use.

it would be nice, though. You know there would only be two plans: $25 limited and an unlimited plan (for who knows how much, $50? $60?)

yeah, I didn't know HN still cared about Tornado. I thought I was the only one using it for production ...

The Tornado framework is AMAZING for its simplicity. It gives you ONLY the things you'll need and a just a little bit extra. It's really great.

does anyone want to go to shake shack right now? I do.

I agree. But also ... just ... something inside me tells me this isn't a good idea. Instead of creating a whole new HTTP request like PATCH to merge all the requests at once, why don't you just send a JSON object to a script with an array of tasks that could be done on the server?

{ "myfolder": [ "move file1.js", "del file2.js" ] }

etc?

yeah, in the new update I'm making sure that you can still tweet away if you have an unstable connection (as is the case with laptop users)

I've been working on one in my spare time, I'm working on a big update for this week. Is this what you're looking for? https://chrome.google.com/extensions/detail/aflgiainmfefihhn...

If you have data on the phone, like texts, emails, etc. your iPhone 3G will be unusable. Mine is also terrible, but I'll live with it until I make a fresh install when I buy an iPhone 4.

Someone commented "You obviously logged into the Qatar iTunes store. If you log into the US store you will get the US agreement, or the French store for French agreement." -- If he's not shopping in the US, he shouldn't be logging into the US iTunes, should he?

This article is nothing short of hilarious.

Bad headphones? Dealbreaker.
