A actively developed and quality casual editor for mac would be great.

Textmate is still awesome, but it's getting stale on the innovation side. I can't say I've given Vico a try, but it isn't free ($40). And Kod looked great too, but it's stuck on version 0.0.3.

Then again these aren't completely valid complaints. Vim is as great as ever, even though you aren't seeing any shiny big and innovative releases.

Perhaps Chocolat will be worth the £30 price the developers plan. But I don't think I could move away from vi style navigation.

The difference now is that we are entering a period where it's not just houses. 3d printing is suddenly a real thing. That's the play here.
What is the latest with 'Color'?
Not enough people on the bandwagon, competition from Ruby/Python/JVM languages on the high end and Perl 5 on the low end, and last but not least the fact you can't use libraries written for Perl 5 with Perl 6.

I wrote a medium-sized project in Perl 5 two years ago. It is my day job right now to work on it. I have very little interest in rewriting it from scratch in any language, but if I did, it would probably be either Ruby or something on the JVM.
Even if Apple wanted to the regulations surrounding manufacturing, especially on a large scale are crazy. Can't tell you how many operations are moving overseas not because of the labor costs but because of the bureaucracy, paperwork, EPA, and regulations in the US.

This is the programmer/IDE-dweeb's version of "well yeah.. but does it run Linux?" Only half joking; the parent's comment is exactly what I thought after searching through the feature list.

It's funny how, when forced to work outside of vim, the first thing I (and at least one other person, it would seem) do is try to make the environment as vim-like as possible (with usually-mixed-to-unsatisfactory results).

Eclipse and Visual Studio are the only IDEs I can think of that, outside of The True Vim, support the "vim-like" editing paragidm with any robustness (viemu on VS2008 ($), vsvim on VS2010(free-as-in-beer).. I forget the name of Eclipse's premiere VS plugin.. but I know it's in the gallery.. there's also the "embed a vim window in Eclipse" thing, but I found it somewhat ackward). MonoDevelop has a core-support vim plugin, as well, but it's not-quite-there, yet (as of 2.6).

Anyone else have any preferred "not-vim-but-vim-like" editors, when forced to work outside of The Better IDE? (And I don't want to hear that viper-mode shit, either. It's a False Vim and you know it.. like the snake that tempted Adam and Eve into Sin!).
I've been critical of AirBnB in the past, but I liked the tone of Chesky's post. If only they had done this on June 29, instead a month later. But: it's never too late.

I hope this is the penultimate word in this saga (EJ's would be the last word; and I'm hoping, after this, her blog would be positive and upbeat).

The lesson to be learnt is: if you're in a consumer-facing business, and a black swan event happens, don't worry about valuations, etc. but worry about the customer who's affected. Fix the root cause, and the outcome will fix itself.
20 FPS in software is pretty impressive, I wonder (if this is real and if it takes off) how long it will take to see hardware voxel acceleration.
Actually I remember some well liked and upvoted blog on HN posting stats that separated out affluent ethnicities from poor ethnicities and making US education look good.
This seems like a reasonable editor, but doesn't list any features that would motivate me to switch away from Netbeans for my PHP work.

A little bit of a shame that the insurance industry is going to bank on this. The article doesn't state specifically, but some kind of complex underwriting has to be going on.

Alright you win -- I'll rephrase to be accurate: "know Perl but are looking for a job!" Often if they were good they'd be busy -- and yes you can claim that about any programming language too unless it's unpopular...
Vienna Bike by Valentin Vodev
Is there a way to expose only certain buffers in certain tabs? My experience has been that all tabs show all loaded buffers...

For this reason, I've pretty much forgone tabs in favor of minibufexpl.vim (https://github.com/fholgado/minibufexpl.vim), which gives me a pretty robust buffer-display window on the top of the editor and easy navigation keybindings ([shift+]ctrl+tab).
Oh look, another text editor. Just use TextMate if you're on Mac OS X. If you want something cross platform use Sublime Text, and if you want to be awesome and have a few days to customize and learn use VIM or Emacs. I use Sublime Text on my laptops and desktops and vim on my servers. It's the only editors I need for any operating system and any situation.
Potential issues can arise when fictional races are transparently based on real ethnic groups, though.

Slide 34 is most relevant. This is a presentation deck used by KIPP, one of the more successful charter schools in NY.

Family background matters a lot in how well students perform, but it doesn't help that low-income minorities tend to get the worst teachers. Teacher quality is more closely associated with educational outcomes than any other school-related factor, including curriculum, budget, and class size.
what is the point of creating new editors?
I had an issue too. Sendgrid is responding well to this issue. They have been in constant communication with my team.
No previous Perl programming-experience. I've been consciously aware of Perl since at least 1998 and even poked at the source code of some scripts here and there, but didn't bother to really learn anything about it until recently.

A brief explanation; perhaps someone here will be inspired or is thinking along similar lines:

I've been using an "object system" for JavaScript named Joose:
http://joose.it/

Joose is amazing and is, roughly speaking, a port of the Moose object system for Perl to JavaScript. (Moose is mentioned in various comments below and many times in the "Modern Perl" book.)

The principal author/maintainer of Joose v3 (Nickolay Platonov) has developed an ecosystem of tools on top of Joose3 and for Joose-oriented distributions (github.com/SamuraiJack). Much of their design is inspired by popular distributions in Perl's CPAN (Nickolay has a strong background in Perl, obviously). And some of them are still tied into Perl libraries, not simply ports to JavaScript.

As node.js and its package manager NPM have evolved rapidly in the last 12 months, some of the Joose stuff is lagging behind and in need of an overhaul, e.g. Nickolay's "JSAN plugin" for Dist::Zilla.

I've been wanting to help, but it's difficult to hack on Perl code if you don't even know the syntax. Well, that's where chromatic's book has come to the rescue! To be honest, it's been a real eye-opener and, as I suggested earlier, I think this Perl learning-experience is actually going to be a big boon for me in the near term and into the future. It's already allowing me to view Joose and related libraries through new eyes.
That couldn't have been through Gmail?
Looks very nice from the screenshots.

I've been trying out a number of text editors since installing Lion and haven't found one I liked as much as TextMate, but want to as I expect TextMate 2 to never come out and for 1.5 to stop working with some future version of OS X.

Vico is a good contender for TextMate 2, but it's still pretty buggy for something he charges money for.

Chocolat looks more like a contender for TextMate 1 to me... less Vim bindings? I'll probably skip it.
What Do I Do About My Ex-Employer Stealing My Free Code?
This is part one. It gets itself into the public consciousness. This by itself will do nothing to help fix it. Lots of stuff in politics is broken and everyone knows it.

The fix comes when a cool new technology gets invented in America, produced in China and then sold everywhere on earth but the USA while garnering huge media attention. Something almost iPhone big that Americans just can't get.

I was hoping Spotify would be a good trial run. I'm hoping they just pack up and head to greener pastures.

You're downvoting because of that?

The person specifically said "any email that does not have a one-click unsubscribe". Two of the three categories I mentioned were not "emails from gramma" but that's the example you choose to focus on?

I really do think he means that he marks as spam messages that are not spam. And the biggest problem with spam prevention is the false marking as spam. It's much worse to miss a legit email than to receive spam.

There is a "project" file, listing all the files related to the project (kind of a Makefile of Xcode). If modified externally (e.g.: by pulling changes of that file) Xcode crashes.

Also if they actually make a scene with different things in it. Having millions of objects in your scene is not that hard if they are all copies of the same object. The old demonstration showed a bunch of repeated copies of a single object. This one showed a lot of copies as well, although not as obvious.

I would say this is going to boil down to "Patent trolls make the world terrible." At which point something might be done about the patent trolls, but not about the patents themselves.

If you look closely though, there are people of many different real-life races among the Dothraki (I counted white, black, and asian people, not to mention Jason Momoa whose race I have no idea about).

Culturally, they seem to be based on the ancient Mongols, not on any particular currently-existing culture. Not to mention that as far as I'm aware there aren't any ethnic groups who stereotypically give gifts of snakes to people.

I think it's just reading way too much into a fantasy show that seems to take deliberate pains not to stereotype real-life ethnicities (except for maybe the feudal British).
The last time we talked about this (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1179970), the consensus was that it was a lot of snake oil and not useful for most applications.

That can't be it, he said, "it's on its own line with the tabs showing up below it".
The team involved really spent the time to make the web versions of these apps have an aesthetic unified with the iOS and Mac versions. As someone who does web stuff day in, day out... the difference between working and polished is huge. Apple has pulled out all the stops to make these polished apps. Kudos to them.
IMHO polygon count is not nearly as important as texture, lighting (and therefore also shadows) and animation quality.

Their polygon count is impressive and the object detail looks awesome, but, as other people commented here, I wonder how well it will hold up when dynamic objects, animation and dynamic lighting are added.
There is one of these 300 meters from my apartment.

It's not very confusing exiting the highway and turning left - just follow the lights.

It is kind of confusing exiting the highway and turning right. Right-on-red is allowed, and to make such a maneuver you have to look in strange places for traffic that might hit you. I've almost messed it up a few times. The other option is to let people honk at you while you wait for a green.

I'm curious as to what will happen when the power to the lights fails.
Here's a notion so crazy it could work: since we are clearly unwilling to pay what it takes to pay for classrooms smaller than 30, what if we instead had some classes with 20, and others with 40+? Any material which is pure lecture wouldn't lose much (see the college lecture halls of 100+), while other material gets more benefit from individual attention. It also allows teachers to specialize: Be an engaging public speaker, or focus on bonding with students and their unique learning styles.

It might only be feasible in schools without widespread behavior problems, but hey, it's a thought.

What differentiates this from Textmate? It so far looks like a clone, which I'm sure is just superficial.

Now that's a landing page. It had just enough information on the first page, and easily led into the more detailed info in the sidebar navigation. If I was on a Mac and was remotely interested in trying a new editor, I might well have stuck my address in there. As it was, it still drew me in enough to poke around. Well done.
What is somewhat disappointing is that they don't tell if they have managed to solve these issues or not, as they were clearly commented on one year ago. Another major issue is the RAM-usage, as point cloud data will require a lot of memory.

Their claims of being 100,000 times better than current technology is also "frustrating", as it is repeatedly mentioned as if you've for some strange reason forgot it in the last 30 seconds. It is also a lie if they cannot use this in a game: I would suspect it's not impossible to increase the level of polygons to 10-100 times the amount - if not even more - if there's no animations or dynamic light sources around.
I'm out of the loop I suppose... what software would you use for, say, a support forum or something? I still use phpBB, and it works, but I agree it feels cludgy.
My WP theme is from WooThemes and it includes "thumb.php" which upon inspection is timthumb.php. The blog post says to patch this you should remove the list from the allowedSites variable which I have done... I'll look at this more tomorrow but just FYI!
The people who need the vaccinations won't see the difference.

That little detail would have been better kept under wraps. Nobody needed to know about it.
By "not-vim-but-vim-like" do you mean modal editors?
It's actively being developed, for one.
An interesting hypothetical scenario is one where Apple had all iPhones assembled in the US. Assuming that the wage of American workers is ten times as high as those of their Chinese counterparts, the total assembly cost would rise to $68 and total manufacturing cost would be pushed to approximately $240. Selling iPhones assembled by American workers at $500 per unit would still leave a 50% profit margin for Apple. In this hypothetical scenario, the iPhone could contribute to US exports and reduce the US trade deficit, not only with China, but also with the rest of world. More importantly, Apple would create jobs for US low-skilled workers: http://www.voxeu.org/index.php?q=node/6335
Looking at the states, I think corporate headquarters might be a big part of it. Why else would Arkansas be on the list of net givers? (And Minnesota has a relatively many corporate headquarters.)
Beautiful landing page, beautiful product. This looks to be an awesome editor. Can't wait.

No, because Perl 6 has a coherent type system.

What is the Difference between SEO and SEM?
Anecdote which amuses me: I find JavaScript tolerable thanks to Joose and other ideas borrowed from Perl.
Why, exactly? It sounds like an oddly interesting idea to me, too, but I'm not sure why and I'd like to hear your reasons.
Textmate 2 seems pretty much non-existent. There hasn't been a lot of information as to what it will actually bring. That said, Textmate 1 is still a very good editor if your into macros instead of vi-style full keyboard control.

The problem I see is that every new editor isn't featured enough so it falls short compared to peoples editor of choice in some trivial way ("I don't like tabs" or "There's no go to file feature.")
I know I'm a graybeard, but I have yet to see a serious editor on any platform that could get me to switch away from Emacs. The perils of 20+ years of muscle memory and accumulated knowledge, I suppose.
