Downloaded it, but tbh, can't really see where it is better than any other native terminal. For OS X its a hefty 100 megabytes, just for a terminal app, with plugins, Google Analytics and a lot of styling.

It amazes me how in America the cabinet style table saw is still favoured above the European Slider. I own a European slider, and it allows me to have my hands further away from the blade, it allows for easier support of the workpiece... In

It is a website for his own wedding offering a chance to learn something. I don't understand why there is a need to be pedantic about things like the JavaScript only in this context. It is a reoccurring thing on HN and it doesn't

It does not matter if the money is virtual or not. It matters whether it is regarded as valuable. If a large group of people trust a certain currency to hold a certain value it becomes relevant to those people. They might invest other forms

I really do not anymore understand Jolla. I have bought a Jolla Phone in the past followed by backing the tablet. The phone started slowly to annoy me more and more, mainly because of the subpar processor and the lack of memory (I had to ke

India has quite a history of communal riots[0], and Gujarat is a state where violence tends to become really wacky. As a kid I've lived a few years in Rajkot, Gujarat, during and after the Ayodhya riots and violence spread easily based
