My impression is that Apple II/VisiCalc were used by small/personal business and Lotus 123 was for big corporations/industry. But I might be wrong since I wasn't even born on that period.

So why you moved to Python?

I use 2 languages with the stock 4.2 keyboard just fine. Changing via spacebar.

So much better now. My only complain is that when you shrink your browser window you lose the interests section, which I visit all the time for specific news.

Very enlightening. I always thought that the "financial world" were locked into Fortran/COBOL.

No, really. Use what you like/know. I hate posts about "you should use X because I like it".

So what's wrong with this? People are not being forced to do anything.

The lack of notification (my dock is permanently hidden and the app doesn't have a menubar icon) is such a deal breaker for me.

So what? My point is that Siri doesn't apply as a valid/common "person" name in some languages and used the meaning in portuguese as an example.

Since Light Table relies on CodeMirror (AFAIK), will some amount of money go to Marijn Haverbeke, along with other kinds of contributions to his project?

So you force a behavior through your browser but when it doesn't work you blame the site? Ok...

I wonder how much awesome free/open source tools/services would benefit from a clean, good design like this.

I use and like Alfred but I think most of the people here are comfortable with terminal and uses it a lot. The touch command is way more easier, fast and "portable".

I can't express how much I want to be ruined like Google.

The only thing about it that I really dislike is that there's no option to delete or cancel your account (a trend with startups). I don't fall to the silly excuse that it's in beta or that they'll have such options "soon". This should be th

I'm puzzled that Mint is on the list, which is a 1GB download and Arch Linux isn't.

But these days it's so misused that most people see it and dismiss as a "catchphrase" to lure people. Even if it's accurately used. So, it's better don't take the risk.

I closed when the first thing was to me chose a "weapon" (seriously?) of choice instead of giving me whatever the site's offering. What if I like Ruby AND Perl AND Node.js? Edit: I know that Perl is not an option there, it was just for show

My intention was to mention You and Cooper McHatton but Hacker News have the title limited to 80 characters. Also, such a cool site! I'm planning to write something as soon as I get some free time.

It's just me or it's really strange that he's "moved" from Perl to Python because he doesn't like the fact that there's a preferred (by some people) way of doing things. Which, again, for some people, it's the "advantage" of Python, where
