Thanks for the reply! I gave it a solid week at the start of this month, about 3 weeks ago. The only other thing I didn't like (and this is subtle, but I had not realised that I took it for granted): In Cursor, you can close and reopen

I tried Zed for a few days and loved it, but had to switch back to Cursor because I've become dependent on Cursor Tab. The problem is that Cursor Tab seems kinda psychic, and I didn't realise how conditioned I'd become to jus

This lends even more weight to the theory that Massive Attack’s singer is, in fact, Banksy.

We spent our first year as a startup hacking on laptops in the attic of Smithfields, along with a dozen other startups. No idea if Innovation Warehouse is still up there[1]. If you arrived at work early enough they'd still be hosing th

I have many happy memories of weeks at Herrang. In fact I got offered my first job in open source there after a chance meeting, and my first startup can trace its origin to some conversations with other hackers in between dance classes.

Let's be clear - this affects client-side apps which include the template compiler (ie. the full vue.js bundle). Right? So apps built with Webpack, and using vue.runtime.min.js should be safe? I'd imagine that represents the major

I think virtualization is a fancy word for cloud.

Offtopic, but does anybody know how the diagrams in this article were generated? I'd love a simple piece of software to generate beautiful, straightforward pictures like this to explain architectural problems.

I'd like to listen to this as a podcast later -- any idea how I can get hold of it, without running a Flash video player in a desktop browser?

My feeling is that a simple revenue multiplier doesn't work as a seed stage business valuation. For example, how does this work for pre-revenue SaaS startups valued $1M-$5M during seed? Even if they've started generating revenue,

What data do you need? This is empirically observable. Half the people in this thread are giving you examples.

I took over a domain which had previously 301-redirected HTTP:// to HTTPS://. It caused us no end of trouble getting the alpha site online -- obviously we set up SSL but we didn't realise it was the _first thing we&

It did say [Flagged] for a while, though. I was reading the discussion and it bounced in-and-out of existence while I was trying to contribute. The Reply button would disappear; at one point the link and title were removed, then restored. I

Intuitively I'd agree, but I was surprised at how many people/friends/colleagues didn't know what I was talking about when The Internet's Own Boy was released. If they weren't readers of Hacker News they almost

This is so sad. I wonder if Noah has considered moving abroad for a bit - in my experience, very few people in the London tech scene know who Aaron Swartz was, or if they've heard the name they will struggle to remember the story behin

I wasn't at all surprised to see this is a funded startup -- it's had a lot of effort put into the design and execution, and it just screams desperation to me. I imagine somebody is under a lot of pressure to hit their growth metr

But you could _delete it today_ and it would not be lost. Right?

No idea why this was downvoted. Perfectly legitimate question given unclear circumstances.

> It is possible, or even likely, that a repository switch could lose that history on a project like emacs. Surely the "D" in DVCS means that many thousands of copies of the project history would be available around the world?

Trying to scroll your website on a Mac trackpad causes it to jump around like crazy. Did you install some too-clever-for-its-own-good Javascript? (Has anyone else noticed this is an increasing - and annoying - trend?)

I feel the same way, and at this point I'm just holding out for some kind of iPhone Nano product line next year. What puzzles me is that I don't know anybody else who feels like this. Most people are surprised at me, or don't

I believe the author was making the point that the names are overly descriptive ("Elastic Compute Cloud" -- not at all innaccurate, but not easy to grok; the less descriptive "Amazon Virtual Servers" is easier for a newb

I find it interesting that you're getting consistent downvotes for saying the same thing my startup's legal counsel has repeatedly said about the AGPL: Be extremely careful. Assume nothing and write defensively, because the nature
