mesec··on Ask HN: software for project documentation?
+1 for Sphinx. For me, it's crucial that code and documentation are kept closely together. As in, changes to the code and the related documentation go in the same commit. In my experience, that's the only way to keep them in sync. Sphinx works great in this scenario, can output the docs in many different formats, default HTML output has search built-in etc. It's cross-platform (although I've used it on Windows and Linux only, I'm pretty sure it works on Macs as well).

This is good stuff, too: http://johnmacfarlane.net/pandoc/

mesec··on Bootstrap 3 RC1
IIRC, Boostrap 2 can use percentage widths too -- you need to use the "row-fluid" class (instead of just "row").
mesec··on The Dawn of Haiku OS
Amazing stuff, thanks for the link!
mesec··on SpaceX Prepares Dragon Spacecraft for Human Flight
What happened with Dragon's NASA COTS demo missions 2 (ISS fly-by) and 3 (full cargo mission)? According to their launch manifest these were supposed to happen in 2011.
mesec··on Google Android: The Accidental Empire
I too think that launching Android, more than anything, was a defensive (if not desperate) move. Apple would have locked Google out of mobile search sooner or later.

And that makes Android's success even more amazing.

mesec··on Rails 3.x projects to learn from (do you know of any?)
Great stuff! Thanks a lot!
mesec··on Reasons why is Apple trading at such low levels
I am afraid that it's #6. Sad but true. Personally, I've never owned an Apple product, but sometimes I have a feeling that Mr. Jobs has more to do with my Android phone than anyone else (of course Google ripped off iPhone, but that's life).

Teambox looks really nice! And it certainly is a "real application". Thanks!
mesec··on Peer code review: do you do it? what you use?
If you use Git, check out Gerrit:

http://code.google.com/p/gerrit/

Open source, not too difficult to configure. Written in Java, requires Tomcat (or similar) to run. I think Android "organization" within Google uses it.

EDIT: It's not cloud-based. Sorry.
