Maybe they mean this

Thanks for sharing this. To the author, if you're reading this, thanks for putting your work up on Github.

Announcing (almost final) products once you're sure they will be released seems better than announcing "plans".

Depending on which country you live in, taxes can be a real pain and will only leave you with a small bit of your salary. Not to mention transportation could eat up a lot your otherwise "free time" in the evenings. :(

I do agree that freelancing would definitely give some nice extra income but only if you're disciplined enough to find time for it.

http://xkcd.com/1190/ changes every 30 minutes if I'm not mistaken. The link shows all the frames since the comic was published.

"push" requires that an open connection be maintained, while "poll" means you connect multiple times.

Seems like there were + prefixes before - https://www.alien.net.au/irc/chantypes.html

I can't remember exactly where I first encountered the plus prefix (it's been a long time), but I remember # and + more than &.

Which doesn't seem to be loading for me.

Edit: nevermind, retried a few times and it's ok now

Here is the thread for part 1 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2326502 and the direct link http://www.whitakerblackall.com/blog/music-theory-for-beginn...

This, btw, is a thread from 2008.

Are you referring to the new UI behavior (new at least to me, since this is the first time I've seen this) when you click on directories/files in the repository file browser like in https://github.com/git/git for example?

I don't really use the github file browser frequently enough to be able to tell if the async loading of the files/directories is what you're referring to. Plus, linking to the github home page was kind of confusing.

You can have multiple blogs associated with the same email. I'm just not sure if it's possible to create a new one by sending an email as the first post.

Patcher - Some package translations on Ubuntu (does that count?), Patcher - iUI, One-off - some jQuery libraries

Unfortunately, in some locations, a yearly salary increase isn't even a given. I'd say having something is a pretty darned good deal.

Is this some kind of advertising campaign?

Not really news. Not even accurate.

as time goes, people tend to write less comments

Regarding stories, I think off-topic ones should be downvoted/deleted. Off-topic being defined as "Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. Videos of pratfalls or disasters, or cute animal pictures. If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic." Having this text or a link to the guidelines on the submit page would probably be nice. (see http://ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html)

Regarding comments, there are also some guidelines and not following those guidelines clearly deserve a downvote. I personally think that downvotes shouldn't be used to "say that you disagree". I prefer that it be used to filter out useless comments.

I actually use Emacs for editing code on Windows when I work on Python or Ruby stuff. :)

I don't really use .Net or VS but yes, I agree that he should definitely take a look at Xcode.

Xcode to organize the project, Emacs for editing, Make (with targets that use xcodebuild to do the actual building and stuff).

It's kinda weird, I know, but I just prefer to use Emacs for editing instead of Xcode.

Only Debian.

I agree but I think this is off-topic, IMHO.
