Will be interesting to see how the feature set works out. I initially thought about the project as a SQLite alternative, but it's intended to be used on servers (e.g. backend of author's MMORPG). Will they focus on that? If so, it

Not open source, but Ninox is really great once you get used to their UI paradigm that is a little bit different from what everybody else is doing. https://ninox.com/de

Not an expert, but TeleHash [1] might be a more lightweight alternative than freelan for a lot of applications. [1] https://github.com/quartzjer/TeleHash/blob/master/org/v2.md

What's happening on the scripting front? Looked at the network graph at Github, but it does not seem to work currently. There is a branch for 2.2, but not for 2.4. Scripting is definitely the feature I'm waiting for.

Tacheles will be closed by end of july as far as I know. Last time I was in that area there were a hell lot of cops. The artists living in the building try to fight for their space, but I don't think they'll make it. It's a shame that a lot

From the FAQ: Q: Is it just a mailing list? A: For now yes. But if people feel the need for something else to be added we will of course do that

This is awesome. I recently played around with riak and thought about using it in a project. What I really appreciate is the simple key-value interface that riak exposes while staying away from assumptions about your data. It would be aweso

They do mention it. It's a little bit hidden, but see http://amplifyjs.com/community/#pull_requests

Wow, this is exactly the kind of interface I dislike. It's way too verbose and I'm not sure why one would add this kind of layer on top of jQuery. I don't see where it makes things easier - it's more like it just provides yet another interf

I'm living in Europe and just have been to the USA for the first time. LA, SF, Vegas - 4 days each plus 6 days NYC (start and end point). I'm not sure you can do even the typical tourist stuff in one day where you don't have to think about

Not a big deal? I actually was a bit scared when reading that. Sure, one person doesn't make the game, but a harbour is full of ships.

Sure I keep them in RAW - because storage is not an issue. Organization is though.

Nice question. I got about 200GB all organized within iPhoto. Size comes from the pictures being mostly saved in RAW. Still, iPhoto becomes slow. I moved the library to an external hd to have free space on my internal one. I fear the day I

I just switched to Ubuntu again - on a two year old Macbook Pro 4,1 though. To tell a bit about the software side on a Mac: As long as you don't mess with the system, it runs nicely. Recently I wanted to have a look at clutter ("software li

Wow. Chris could be talking a little bit slower. Still it's a great talk. Some of things are obvious but do not come to your mind but you recognize them only after someone mentions it.

That's quite funny. I just wanted to try this out and received an internal server error. Now all my followers are gone nor am I still following anyone. Twitter strikes back!

It's always nice to see papers published by my profs on HN. I would not have looked at those on my own.

I really would like to start a company with quite the same rules. Perhaps I should start by getting my ass up and contributing more to open source software.
