The rising prevalence of youths who have smart phones makes location sharing apps like this a great tool for parents letting their kids be more independent. That's just one use of this app that I can think of. Several other commenters here

iTerm + `locate`. It rarely fails to find anything. The solution is a bit "out there," but it solves my problems.

This is pretty great! I had no idea so many people "suffered" from things like this.

With some work I got it into a more readable state: http://cl.ly/KZxs . After the first barrage of buzz words and hype I found it really hard to keep reading at all.

To be honest, I'm having difficulty understanding what I should be seeing when I "pinch," as you say. In Chrome it makes all text/images larger, including the banners. This is standard in Chrome. In Safari 6 I zoom into the page, the actual

Have you looked at the Code Year track? The last challenge before the start of the Python course and following a flurry of jQuery challenges is a project aimed at demonstrating programming prowess attained up until that point [1]. It seems

This is a pretty great project! I can't wait to play with it more. The code looks great, too!

As well intentioned as I imagine the author to be, there's really nothing here that you couldn't learn from older documentation, as several commentors have pointed out. A more interesting example would have been to calculate running time of

This is already possible using projects like erlectricity( https://github.com/mojombo/erlectricity ) and its associated subprojects ( https://github.com/mojombo/ernie ). I think there is a huge potential with mixing ruby and erlang, as stra

One thing that kind of stuck out was that you were walking with a group of your friends who were drinking in public, and you were high. I don't mean to be crass but you were basically waiting to get picked on in the city. It seems like the

Well this is pretty neat. Reminds me of the old PSP portals that people used to make for homebrew back in the day. They'd emulate Windows and Ubuntu and everything in between. I would just open this up full-screen on someone's laptop and wa

Right? They're alienating a very large developer community. I tried to send them an email about ruby support and the typo on their compilers page but their email form doesn't even work. I take this to be way too amateurish and scam-like.

I'm thinking about using clojure. It compiles to Java byte code, though I think my professors would be quite peeved about reading my code :P sounds perfect. I'll def give the books a try, though I will dread every line I write. (case sensit

that I don't understand either. You can do the same thing on your own machine, just add a user and tmux there, where you have the current code base up and running.

I can see this being useful if you do want to pair-code though I still see pair coding as clunky, especially since only one person will be editing the file at a time anyway.

This is getting ridiculous. So it looks like eventually the internet will be colonized and taken over by the government soon enough. Where is our next frontier for freedom of speech, open data, and endless cat videos? The internet is suppos

This is some delicious copy pasta. It's a great article and a good read but I don't think it needs to constantly be thrust upon HN every few months.

Well, for one the copy needs some work. The list isn't even organized and there's about 3 or 4 different font-sizes/types going on all over the place. I feel like i'm on a 4chan clone than an app. Also I have no idea how to get really start
