The article mentions 23 GB of storage upgrades for HTC users. Can I also get that on my old HTC Desire S? Or do I need a new phone for that?

Haha, how can you be sold out of an eBook? Besides, it's a free download.

wait, why can I download the .tar.gz of Issue 67, but not 68? (I get a file with just "nice try ;-)" )

If code can be written by auto completion, it's by definition redundant and IMHO shouldn't be necessary in the first place.

You shouldn't worry about not being able to type qwerty anymore - I use dvorak on my main keyboard, but qwerty when I type directly on my laptop and it works perfectly fine.

Audiogalaxy looks really good, but I can't find a radio mode. (like last.fm, where you enter a tag / artist and it plays similiar songs) Is there such a thing?

looks good, but unfortunately one can't navigate with the mouse (think about touch devices like iPad)

Yes. Write the text of the mail somewhere else, then use the (not yet implemented, I'll do it tonight) option "paste clipboard encrypted".

Using multiple devices (laptop with several OS, iPad, eeePC, ..), I really needed IMAP to keep them in sync, so I switched to gmail. Then, I started to use the web interface more and more, until I never really used Thunderbird anymore - I guess I like gmail's interface better.

Why yes, I am. That's the point of this submission ^^

Ah, sorry. The plugin is based on FireBreath, so you need to download and compile that. I'll fix up the build script so it checks for that.

edit: It should work now. If it doesn't, just email me.

Well, you seem to overestimate the intelligence of my extension - it simply opens a JavaScript prompt to ask you ^^

Actually, it works on any website. However, you are right about the Chrome thing. (for the moment at least - should be possible to port it to firefox)

Sorry for the not entirely accurate title, it's my first submission.

btw, I seem to have some problems with the HackerNews button - any tips on what I could be doing wrong?

Ever since I stopped using Thunderbird and Enigmail, I felt like I was missing something. So today, I finally started to develop my own solution - can't have them read our mails, now can we?

It doesn't work for me - always freezes when I start it.

Is there a good tiling wm for Windows too?

Normally I use i3 on linux, but the few times I have to use Windows I really miss it.

good video, but vimeo is utter crap.

Tiny video, neither signup nor HTML5 player work with the newest Chromium on Ubuntu ...

Yeah, but those don't sit directly on your keyboard.

Exactly. Though /r/netsec is quite good, and /r/AskScience is pretty interesting at times. Also, /r/TrueReddit :)

Still, the percentage of articles I read is way higher on HN.

A simple implementation in Scala I just did for fun:

Just like the Java one, but less code. Usually converges in 10 - 20 iterations.

But I did :)

Then again, I already study CS, but I'll definitely try to get into this.

You mentioned that people will be payed during the training - what range are we talking about?

About the mandatory 18 month work - how is pay worked out for that? Before training starts?

I'm currently considering to apply, as I'm completely bored here with my CS and Economics bachelor. (Europe) I'd love to finally have some challenge :)

That doesn't change the fact that they are _very_ easy. European student here - apparently our schools teach way more math.

imho, this is the programmer's fault, not the language's.

Or would you say it's the gun's fault if you shoot somebody with it?

So if some programmers write unintuitive code with Scala, don't use their code. It's still an awesome language.

edit: where did you find +++ and :++ ? They are not in the List api.

So like Python's 'in'?

  if 5 in [1, 2, 5, 6, 8]:
      pass

Is iOS 5 really necessary? I didn't upgrade yet because of my jailbreak, so I can't use the app :-/

Am I the only one who thinks Objective-C is complete crap compared to Scala, Haskell and the likes? Hell, even C++ is way faster to code in and provides a better experience. Obj C is just immensely verbose. I'd love to be able to use Qt + C++ to program iOS instead..

the reddit iPad app has also used that for a looong time

Thank you very much - I don't understand why HN doesn't have at least a bar graph by default.

So it's not enough for the machine to pass the Turing test.

So what? That doesn't mean you can't build a machine indistinguishable from a human, except that you don't need to pay it.
