Despite the apparent lack of popularity, Groovy with the Grails framework is certainly better suited for web development than many (I would dare to say, most) of the programming languages listed above. Of course, it also matters what kind o

I second this! Tree Style Tab is one of the few addons that I cannot live without. Heck, it is one of the reasons why Firefox is my primary browser. This feature should be made native and the original developer should be rewarded somehow fo

True, but this could be a feature of the mobile app. Nevertheless, I guess many of us (at least here on HN) leave their computers on all night, so this is not a problem.

Superb! I like it a lot! A timer for going to sleep would be awesome. Towards the end, the volumne should decrease slowly. I think an alarm function for waking up would be a nice feature as well. You could set the sounds that you like and w

The website seems to be back, but the pushes via SSH are timing out for me.

Interesting! I wonder what drove their decision to use rational number representation. Is it possible to turn this feature off and use floating point instead (for performance reasons, let's say)?

You are right. From reading the comments on the issue [2], this seems to be the reason why it takes so long. Although I have now idea of how fonts are made, I think the work needs to be done for all currently available weights (7 different

My favorite is Source Code Pro by Adobe [1]. I use it on Mac OS X and Ubuntu. On Windows I have to use Consolas, because SCP does not render well in gVim for Windows (at least not on my system). Note that Source Code Pro does not have an I

I like the idea of an intermediary step between textual programming and visual programming. However the author only discusses how the symbols are rendered. What about input methods? I can think of a few options: use keyboard shortcuts, use

I really wish Mono would gain more traction. C# (3.0 onwards) is one of the nicest programming languages I have worked with (despite its warts). I also heard a lot of good things about F#.

This is awesome indeed! I've just thought of two features that would make it even more awesome. Every plugin could have the following two lists: 1. Known to be incompatible with 2. Frequently installed together with The first list

Numbers is one of my favourite Vim plugins! Looks like you are the author. Thank you so much for writing it!

You should give a try to VsVim [1], a plugin for Visual Studio that provides Vim emulation. It supports a lot of features [2] and settings [3] and, most importantly, it is Open Source (it is also written in F#, which is nice). It's alw

Same here. I have been using Ubuntu One file services extensively on a free account while at university to backup my assignments, projects and whatnot. I used the service because for me it was better than the Dropbox app and it integrated n

Too bad that there is still no client for Linux. Last time I checked, the alternatives (Everpad, NixNote, or running under Wine) were nowhere close to the Windows client. Does anybody know if they plan to release a version for Linux?

Yes, I agree. But I'm not sure that for a doctor or a lawyer there is the same pressure to "give back to the community" as for a software developer.

Personally, I don't like the idea of a GitHub/OSS resume. While for others this is great, it does not work for everyone. Many of us are not able to contribute to open source projects... How many professionals are asked by their fu
