Alex Vermeer's guide "8,760 hours" [1] could be helpful if you didn't already come up with your resolutions: Its method gives you a framework how to analyze and prioritize your long term goals for this or the next year.

Thanks for sharing! It seems quite similar to the Loop Habit Tracker ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.isoron.uha... ), an Android App with the same goal.

Here is a short video introduction, if you were not aware of the scheme: https://youtu.be/KxsylnDO15w

An alternative in Germany (or any country adhering to the IBAN/BIC numbering system) is cringle [1]. It uses direct withdrawals (Lastschrift) or wire transfers and does not require the other party to have a cringle account in order to receive money, according to their website.

While the method using to sign documents is identical (as posted by inkfactory), the main difference is that bitstamped is also hosting your files. This can be regarded as both an advantage or a disadvantage over proofofexistence, depending what your position is regarding the remote hosting of the document.

You could install the Kindle for PC [1] version, which allows you to buy and read Kindle Book Editions from Amazon.

A very nice list of debuggers, but I'm wondering why there is no mentioning of the (very good) debugging support you can find in IntelliJ and Eclipse and mostly, why there is no mentioning of Winpdb [1]; a very nice and platform-independent Python debugger with a full-fledged GUI.

A very nice game!

Another automatic click script, clicking the buttons only when necessary:

var checkAll = setInterval(function() { var bn = ['stoke','gather','traps']; for (var i=0; i<bn.length;i++) $('#'+bn[i]+'Button:not(.disabled)').click(); }, 500);

beautifully designed!

I'd love to see some sort of retention limit, and the functionality to manually remove an uploaded design. An export function of all comments and a special stylesheet for printing (i.e., showing all comments below the picture) would make it perfect!

This is very interesting as it reminds me of my youth (and probably also the experiences of other people): After the obligatory QBASIC dabbling, my first experiences as a child with GUI design and programming was through macros and the VBA Editor of MS Office, which, at the time, had a good offline help system. Albeit not having any formal knowledge, creating some simple (mostly text-based and excel-cell-based) RPGs was possible thanks to that.

Apart from the request of removing their logos, Amazon also requested that "[you] shut down the site". Is this because of the specific business model you had, or only because of the domain name? If it is only because of the domain: Do you have any plans on continuing this service?

setcap solves the problem in the wrong way in this scenario imho: With setcap, any user could run node with a node script using ports < 1024.

What would be more useful is the ability to allow a _user_ to open a privileged port. In my option mappu's answer is the right way to go, i.e. using authbind to allow a certain user to open a port or a range of ports.

The console syntax seems to be Python. I'm excited how this could enable an easier modification of minecraft, especially for beginners.

A very nice initial listing for applications, I'd love to see it completed!

One framework I think is missing in the category "server-side" is derby.js ( http://derbyjs.com ), have you thought about adding it to the list?

Very nice! However, in its current implementation, the service does not seem to optimize the created gifs at all, i.e. all frames are opaque and do not try to reuse existing pixels in the last frame(s).

This can be easily changed by using the integrated disposal methods in a gif, as shown on http://docstore.mik.ua/orelly/web2/wdesign/ch23_05.htm , but afaik ffmpeg does not support this out of the box.

It seems imagemagick is able to do some basic optimization, as shown on http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/anim_opt .

javascript sorting: having expected a sorting somewhat similar to python and being very... surprised that javascript essentially sorts everything but primitive types by comparing their String counterparts, I decided to implement a more sensible compare function, similar to e.g. python:

https://gist.github.com/2772234

I am currently using this in server only environments, so there is no comparison for DOM elements.

while the "spyglass" idea is nice, i'd prefer having at least some kind of client encryption in order to avoid the trust issue mentioned by ChuckMcM.

ZeroBin (http://sebsauvage.net/paste/) did an excellent job regarding that topic imo.

If I recall correctly, it is possible to modify a pull-request by deleting the "active" commit of the pull request on github and adding something else, i.e. if I do something like rebase -i and then a push -f (which I can, because, after all, it is my own repository I am pushing to.)

Apparently this was already done for python a few years ago:

I just discovered a very similar, albeit older project that essentially does the same (i.e. implementing the actor model on top of threads, greenlets or stacklets)

http://osl.cs.uiuc.edu/parley/

The most important part, i.e. the download section, seems to be down though.

I'm surprised nobody mentioned brubeck (http://brubeck.io) until now, which takes a completely fresh approach to concurrent handling via implicit context switching (more on their website).

Obviously, as idan mentioned already, there is no single "best" framework, so it really depends on the type of application you want to build whether you should choose something like bottle/flask, django/mezzanine/pinax or brubeck/tornado, or even twisted.

be sure to reload the page a few times to get the right one :)

Another notable feature is the generation of readable stacktraces in iced, as explained here:
