Really useful! Is there a way to set multiple HTTP codes as safe?

This kind of announcement needed to include "and today we're announcing native apps across all platforms". Honestly, the Slack app has become worse (not better) over time.

This is just so sad. I've used, paid for, and loved Dropbox for years and years. It is really worrying that anyone in the company felt it was OK to launch this rebrand.

> Even Yahoo, for whom mismanagement is usually effortless, had to work hard to keep Delicious down.

Man, I love Maciej's way with words.

Pegasus was my introduction to email in the 90's. Glad it's still around.

This page is a good overview: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_Linux_distributi...

And this may help to answer your second question: https://www.linux.com/news/best-linux-distros-2016

I always hate the language used in blogs posts like this. Not saying I could write something much better... just painful to read the sugar-coated bad news.

Wait, what?

South African here. We barely have broadband internet, yet we have chip-based credit cards.

Absolutely fantastic.

A wasted opportunity to properly interview a great man. There are a few people that you interview with reverence: Woz is one of them.

Congratulations on reaching RC1 after more than seven months of intensive work.

Twitter has been using Drupal for some time at https://dev.twitter.com.

Nope.

It was a tongue-in-cheek reference to the recent discussions on HN about Python being in decline.

Saw the talk in-person at Pycon South Africa this morning. Excellent presentation - thanks Armin.

I find myself way more excited about Netbot than App.net.

Genuinely the saddest marketing stunt I've ever seen.

Looks like the bookmarklet code was copied from Instapaper.

I call fake. There's something weird about the perspective of the Apple logo and "Connect to iTunes" screens.

Phew. That's a little over-wrought.

Surely Apple has a responsibility to defend its patents and innovations?

We ("rabid Apple fan[s]") need a strong and successful Android to ensure some balance in this next generation of computing. We need a successful Android to keep Apple on their toes.

Google has figured out how to innovate with Android. Ice-cream Sandwich and Jelly Bean feature a unique and notable user interface.

Samsung, on the other hand, designed 'TouchWhiz' to imitate parts of the iOS look-and-feel in order to mislead customers.

I really liked the tone of blog post. Honest, sincere and free of California-MBA-speak. Bravo.

Pleasing to see regular iteration on PHP 5.x after the weirdness around PHP 6.

> "...and noticed that you are one of the few customers that are still on our early products..."

One of the few? Cool. It's not costing you that much to keep them on their lifetime plan. Surely its not worth the negative PR?

Not sure what Joyent is thinking.

Yet another Pinteresting UI. Disappointing.

NASA is just rocking this mission. Very impressed.

Remind me why we still have cheques in our banking system?

2013 - the year of the Linux desktop! We always knew it would happen, eventually.

The most annoying part is the disingenuous email we all received tonight.

Recently, passwords have been stolen from some internet services. We've reset your password.

I'd have been shocked, but ultimately more respectful of:

We've had a security violation. You can read about it here. Your account wasn't affected, but we're resetting everyone's password just in case. So sorry about this.

Unfortunately, Google is developing a history of announcing – and later killing – products at their Google IO event.

I can appreciate the pressure: Every year, all eyes are on the company to match/outshine Apple's WWDC announcements.

It seems that Google needs to move IO to a different (less pressurised) time of year, and focus on only announcing release-ready products.

Anyone getting stuck at the "Sign in with Twitter" dialog?
