> "My commute is 1 hour each way and it's wonderful." I agree. My commute used to be 20min each way with car, but now I take the train which means my commute went up to 50min each way. When commuting with the car I somehow

I think it is possible using Mono ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mono_(software) ). More details on platform specific frameworks: http://www.mono-project.com/docs/gui/gui-toolkits/

Thank you for that link! Here in Finland we only got tiny selection of American Whiskey and that link pointed out that I still have so many American Whiskey left to experience :) And seeing as the Buffalo Trace is one of my favourite Whisky

I think all parties win in this, not just Stripe. Urrlib3 developer and users (new features and enhancments), and the whole FOSS community (if more and more companies start doing this). Also if the competition is fierce for the top talent,

Integrate all the good parts from VS to the "Unity-clone" and top it with nice indie-license. Bake modularity into so that you can build the game with feature-toggles and control the flags from the server. Ship the game to testers

I do agree that you or your (extended) network don't know all the people worth knowing as there are always gems in random pool of people, but I think the odds are a bit better, at least from my own experience, finding them through the

As an non-US citizen/resident this is pretty fasinating insight to the US justice system! One thing comes to mind though. If I'm to travel to US and enter US soil, am I covered by the Bill of Rights? Ofc I haven't had any pro

I read it when I started my first "real" job. Back then it was really influential and had tons of interesting stuff. I usually recommend it to summer-trainees to put on their read-list (not as the first book to read though). Like

I agree, I think we really need someone who will try to make something new and gain small % of the markets so that ios/android will also have to start innovating something cool again. That said, I've personally been burned before

There is more than six billion people living in Earth, and I bet that there is at least one person getting something valuable out of ones writing. It doesn't matter if it is not 'novel or unique' as long as it is "out th

And that you can actually communicate via email/twitter/g+ with the creators or the core developers of those languages and expect to even get an answer is pretty awesome as well :)

I've been playing around with slime, but it is always the problem for coming up with some interesting project. The common-lisp support (for iPython) seems like interesting challenge to try (and fail).

Awesome work, thanks for sharing! Couple of weeks ago I catched talk by iPython dev in Budapest and started to think that it would be cool to have lisp support (as I want to learn more lisp), but maybe I wait until someone does a Haskell s

I have pretty much the same mentality and I Have to agree that it just works. It doesn't matter what I have on my mind before going to the gym as it is soon replaced by "I have to squat 2.5kg more than the last time?!" .

I just wish someone would make a code-review 'Fabien Sanglard' style, for us who have marveled this demo for years, but are not this tech-savvy.

Agree. I do like the general idea behind Mir. Canonical is at least trying to get the the "Linux-desktop" thing happening. If that means re-inventing the wheel, then go ahead. If they hit home with this, it will benefit us all Lin

Sadly, I think mostly in the BigCorp world, you always have to take time aside to learn new stuff (or read HN etc). Everybody knows that no one works 8h/day doing real work . Sometimes taking time for learning is frowned upon (the &

It would be nice that README would hold more information than the license. Maybe link to this https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/SDK2013_GettingStar... if the wiki is a better place to hold the information.

I do agree. As a Google-talk/Gmail/Dropbox user, the short-term countermesure might be to encrypt all data [1].But ultimately the long-term goal should be to find an alternative to those services (which is/will be quite har

I think there is only one way to know, try :) And then just keep trying until you succeed. But I think it is good idea to first talk with the maintainers. At least if you plan on making a 'major' refactoring to the existing code. Start smal

Anyone has a good recommendation on "must see" video from pycon? Most of them look quite interesting (python at netflix, automated testing, Guido's keynote etc.) but if someone has any suggestions please let me know :)
