This makes a lot of sense to me, I'm going to try something similar, thanks.

The "solution" will be an exodus from SF to other communities. SF has eaten itself before, and it will doubtlessly eat itself again.

I wish we could see a breakdown of Python2 vs. Python3.

And I expect most of these can be compiled via a Grunt task. JavaScript is the Borg.

Disappointed with the comments in here, I was really expecting at least one joke about Python 3 adoption.

...then come back to HN to post pithy comment, then go back to work.

To stop procrastinating, open HN, see article about procrastination, pause, close window and go back to work.

I live in a city. Noise is a problem, but so are bugs and dirt and soot.

All I wanted to know was whether it was the new node.js code or the old old Java systems. I click through and get a PHP exploit? Letdown.

Learned something though.

Congratulations to mitchellh and the Vagrant team. Vagrant is a fantastic tool for streamlining workflows, but also an amazing educational opportunity. Disposable Linux servers: Play, experiment, destroy, try again. Thank you for this, I can't believe how much I've learned.

Worst. Comet of the Century. Ever.

Why link BoingBoing and not directly to her actual blog post?

This blew my mind. I've been dabbling in Node, but I had no idea this much was possible. The GifMe demo would have been nearly enough, but wow, thanks for posting this.

I'm starting to wish we'd see anything Dropbox was doing with all the acquisitions.

Dropbox has hired some really smart people (and shuttered some great services) over the past year or two, but I haven't yet seen that intellectual capitol reflected in their services.

30-some years later and I can't remember the controls either.

My Downloads go to /tmp. Problem solved.

For perspective, twice Kentucky's entire state population commutes into Manhattan every weekday.

Scale matters.

How is this possible when they can't get a stupid health insurance website to work?

I've seen this "ancient systems" idea go by a few times. Honest question: If these platforms are so old, they likely aren't terribly complex, from the perspective of what's now computationally cheap. So, how hard would it be to drop a computer on their local network and just dumb-clone the whole thing?

The great paradox of American politics: They're either incredibly stupid or brilliantly evil. Can't be both.

If you've got an LP allele, neither are you.

Flynn?

same thought. Another year I guess.

"It's new but it's fine, you're overreacting"

How do I put Android on my iPhone?

Well yeah. The health benefits of fruit are generally oversold anyway. But this will be met with mockery, "I can't have soda and now fruit* is bad for me too?! Scientists are dumb."

* this is where they miss the point.

All I keep seeing is the negative space between the Y and the A. Not in a good way.

At this point on HN, I was expecting a page that just said "I rewrote it in Go"

Snarky comments about distributed version control aside, the bigger problem is the ecosystems which revolve around GitHub. Two which are immediately screwing my day up are Composer and Homebrew. Currently, both are totally dependent on GitHub.

Let me get this straight, the command-line interface for googling code in a locally cloned GitHub repo is called grep?
