Not sure why Vanilla JS doesn't require <script> tags, whereas jQuery apparently does.

Uh, sourceforge? When I hear "making these files available" I think github or a simple website. Not something with a download.com-style "Wait 5 seconds while we force this ad down your throat and try to find a mirror because Route 53 / load-balancing is a foreign concept to us programmers still hanging out in the '90s."

The wording in question:

5. The copyright holder reserves the right to revoke this license on anyone who uses this copyrighted work at any time for any reason.

And his explanation from the README:

Lamson is licensed under the license in the https://github.com/zedshaw/lamson/blob/master/LICENSE file. It's a variant of the BSD license that is revokeable and makes contributor's rights clear up front.

It's a phenomenal idea. I'm gonna start buying stuff in revokeable cash.

Perhaps it's okay as long as that's where the online store servers are located; but I don't see anything about shipping in the article.

Alternatively to the dock / defaults changes, you can just press Command+Alt+H

I can generate random strings in Python too.

Did anyone actually try any of these? None of them work.(Correct me if I'm wrong -- I didn't try them _all_)

Seems like this guy is getting the same error:

https://github.com/gaubert/gmvault/issues/4

(Issue number 4 on the github project.)

I added my output to the issue.

I'm on Gmvault v1.0-beta from pypi. It doesn't recognize the --restart option. "gmvault: error: unrecognized arguments: --restart"

No resume functionality? Or am I just missing something? I've got ~3 GB of emails in my Gmail, and GVault's ETA is 4 hours.

It already timed-out once (no discernable reason), and after restarting, went right to email number 1 (forgetting about the 1800 emails it had already gotten through).

I knew there was a West Virginia, but I did not know there was a West Michigan!

The front page of HN is a brilliant example of why you should use the active voice when the passive is unnecessary. 403 points (active) vs. 150 points (passive).

Great A&B testing, guys.

PDF, please? Or at least a JPG that wasn't set to 50% quality?

Hey pg, why don't the guidelines have something about submissions behind paywalls / sign-in-walls?

Why is someone who can hack Github working for $30/hr on oDesk? @Egor, quit selling yourself short!

"While it seems unlikely that NGINX could overcome Apache’s commanding lead ..." Oh zdnet, don't you realize that actions like this release from Apache, obviously under pressure from NGINX, are precisely the indicators that you will be eating your words in a year or two?

Macfusion is sometimes finicky, but works for me most of the time. And it's free (unlike Expandrive).

I was also confused at first, and thought that this guy just re-invented LESS.

I think the source of confusion is that he calls his project "Knyle Style Sheets," whereas a more accurate name would be "Knyle markup for Preprocessed Style Sheets" (or Kml*SS).

Xeni Jardin Live-Tweets ABOUT Her First Mammogram would be a more accurate title.

Taking heat to the people is good, but what about bringing people to the heat? Start selling apartments in the data centers.

It's hardly a shootout when you don't even control for price (not to mention up-to-date-ness, as intranation noted).

Is there a description of your benchmark machines / benchmark process anywhere?

Keep up the great work, btw! I'm pretty excited to move up to Node 0.6 (probably-statistically-insignificant regression on IO-write regardless)!

If you go to the bottom of the page at http://allthingsdistributed.com/, you'll see that the blog actually requires "Movable Type Pro".

AWS doesn't provide a way to serve from S3 without the help of a CNAME redirect, which means that you're out of luck if you want to use the Jekyll+S3 setup with a naked domain name (naked, as in no "www" or "blog" subdomain). And it also means that you're going to have to get some other server (Google Apps can do it), to redirect your *.domain.com queries to www.domain.com. And then your users' DNS is running all over the place, incurring, in my opinion, unneeded delay.

You do seem like a good one, as far as they go, and I don't have anything, in general, against recruiters posting here. I don't think it's the best forum for your type, but there's no rule against it.

What I took issue with was that you are internally inconsistent, yet claim to be "honest." Ha! Whatever it was that made you once say you WILL NEVER attempt to solicit business on Hacker News---well, obviously, you don't believe in that anymore.

What part of this post + you saying, on your very own website, "I have not, nor ever will attempt to solicit business on Hacker News," is honest?

DIY instructions:

1. Put your camera on continuous shoot. My Canon 20D could do 3 frames/second. My 7D can do 7 frames/second.

2. Make sure your shutter speed maxes out at 1/10th of a second or so. Blurry pics are totally fine. Try to keep it landscape, though. Fixing the portrait shots is a pain.

3. Hold down your shutter button a lot. Turn on AF and give your camera to other people and tell them to do the same.

4. Download your 5000+ pictures to your computer later.

5. Open up VirtualDub, and load in all the JPEGs, tell it to resize to 1/4, and set the framerate to 10 frames/second or so.

6. Layer over with some music. I recommend sorting by duration in iTunes to find something that is as long as your video.

WakeMate here, too. Trying to sell it off, though. Kind of disappointed, really:

a) I had to send if off to the refurb. center after about two months of use (and pay my own shipping).

b) I haven't seen much progress in the app except stability increases. With all that raw data, I can imagine tons of fun features, particularly social applications.

c) Their website's claim, "You pick the factors and Wakelytics shows how they affect your sleep," translates to "You tag your nights and we let you sort by those tags." This is typical of the lackluster analysis-web app that your sleep data gets uploaded to.

d) The app self-admittedly cannot analyze sleep periods of less than 3-4 hours, and in reality considers anything less than 5-6 hours too short to recognize or record. (There is no mention of this shortcoming/limitation anywhere on their website.) This makes it pretty much useless for polyphasic sleep. Or naps of any kind.

No big deal, though. $60 is not that much money. It's a nice effort, and a good idea, but just not a very satisfying execution.

+ touchscreen for +$100 and I'd buy.

"If by some terrible twist of fate less than 100 people submit entries to a contest, we reserve the right to select no winner."

That's a big "if." Big enough to lose interest.

Looks hackernews-inspired: two iPads and some Sugru to hold them together.
