Luckily Hackpad isn't going anywhere so you can go ahead and sign up to try it out :)

I calculate my life saving in terms of years I can spend walking non-stop. At ~20 years worth, I'll begin.

After soloing Annapurna and GR20 and many US national parks, walking is the only thing I really want to do with my life.

Ellis Act is tricky. It's threatened far more than it's executed. That's because it bad for renter credit (supposedly) to have an eviction and it imposes a bunch of random restrictions on the owner. So it gets threatened and then occupants take a payout and move out quietly.

This already happens today in the form of PSA and the Ad Council. See http://www.adcouncil.org/Our-Work/Current-Work for a sampling.

The difference is that you already have Facebook installed and don't "need only to download the free App.net app for iOS or Android."

major congrats to turian and thom!

I hope HN continues to treat great new ideas with muted ambivalence. Reading articles with >10 comments is a waste of time.

Give me a break. This is a single data point, in an industry (and country!) not known for its efficiency.

Would love the opposite, a scala -> java converter.

So you'd have to refresh the page when you change phone orientation from portrait to landscape?

I know how you feel. Txt me when you need an ear. We'll hang out, get drunk. 415-810-4267.

Ubuntu removed Tomboy from their default install due to Mono dependency. Tomboy is still a well used and liked application on Linux desktops. Just one example of many great apps "killed" that I am most familiar with.

I wrote this Erlang-in-Javascript API 5 years ago using coroutines: http://beatniksoftware.com/erjs/. I'm not holding my breath for pervasive `yield` support.

We have really tight jeans. Like really tight.

Adding insult to injury: when trying to view instances in the console I now only see "Rate limit exceeded".

I don't get it. The site is obviously targetted at women, why send out booth bunnies to hug men? In pink t-shirts no less, instead of trendy boutique fashion?

hackpad op here. give me a ping, i think we can support you.

How is this different from Hackpad (YCW12)?

Well actually, "doing something clever" is damn close to the origin of the word.

Back now. My logs show it was down from 2:23 to 2:41.

At least I wasn't imagining it.

There's great notes for a lot of other PyCon talks here: https://hackpad.com/LQgZLPeokTB#PyCon-2012-Notes

We just rolled out code highlighting and (very alpha) inline LaTeX support! Learn about those here: https://hackpad.com/o9ey5hjlyBQ#Hackpad-Code-Syntax-Hilighti... and here: https://hackpad.com/gcErGj2WsQr#Embedded-LaTeX

I don't see what the big deal is. He's a completely endearing a lovable guy if a bit eccentric, just like all the best in our field. I loved listening to his demo video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WAr-xYtBFbY), it had me smiling all the way through.

His joy of experience in knowledge and production and problem solving is what hooked me on computers in the first place.

If you think he's crazy, you should go see Stallman talk.

We don't store Google contacts on disk, so they will disappear with a couple days of account inactivity.

This just hides the sign in modal dialog. Your changes are not saved until you sign in.

It's totally awesome that you're poking around in the code :)

This is probably an IE bug?

I wrote a personal wiki for Linux called Tomboy.

I've been working on Hackpad.com lately. It's a realtime wiki based on Etherpad. Pads are private by default, and you can invite people to edit them later.

I think it's better than tiddlywiki. Why not try it out?

Are you kidding me? Facebook just contributed to toppling a dictatorship in Egypt.

We are still seeing the rippling effects that this form of social interaction brings to people's lives. I don't think that's boring at all.
