Yes, Python has a robust package installer in pip[1]. Others use easy_install[2], which works well but lacks key features such as uninstalling packages. Both installers retrieve packages from PyPI[3].

I actually wasn't aware that HN automatically shortened urls that were over a certain length. All the URLs have been unshortened.

The company behind this helmet, Volpin Props (http://volpinprops.blogspot.com/), produces absolutely amazing work, especially considering it's all one guy. Some of his other projects include:

Hey guys, main developer behind Stashboard here. Just wanted to say thanks for all the feedback. If you have any questions, feel free to ask away :)

As a current Berkeley student / start-up intern, I would definitely recommend looking into living on the north side of Berkeley. The neighborhood is quiet and the city is only a short (25 min) BART ride away.

I believe that the current attack in the US combines the aforementioned technology with a small camera mounted on the top of the ATM to capture a user's pin number.

After writing a user script for adding a download link to Mixest, I wanted an easy way to install it in Safari. Firefox already has Greasemonkey and Chrome has native support for userscripts.org, so I thought Safari needed some love.

If anyone has suggestions on how to generate an archived, signed extension instead of just a folder, I would love to implement a solution.

I wrote a really simple extension that injects jQuery into the current webpage. Not very practical as the same features can be found in a bookmarklet, but fun to make nonetheless.

I currently have the same setup and absolutely love it.

I just can't wait until vanilla 2.2 is available for the Evo 4G. I find the general usability of Sense UI to be quite poor.

May I suggest Video for Everybody?

My only request is that Zed offer a proper API. The number one reason I hate dealing with craiglist is that there is no easy way to get results in json format.

Sadly, such a system would never work in the United States. We have far too many people already behind bars to make these types of prisons feasible. Our incarceration rate is 756 per 100,000[1] citizens, the highest in the world. Until we figure out how to put less people behind bars, our prison system will always be a huge mess.

I love articles with such a heavy focus on data visualization. Any chance you can provide a .json file containing all the information as well? Every time I see a post containing great data I always want to play around with the information myself but having to parse html to get at the data (using python and beautifulsoup) is such a time investment.

MacFusion seems to be maintained to some extent. I just downloaded a version that works on 10.6.3.

I've remapped caps lock to ctrl on my personal laptop, so whenever I use another computer, I end up typing half of my commands / text in uppercase.

So I decided to do just that http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1292276

Thanks, that comment actually was the inspiration behind my post. I am adding a shout-out right now.

Thanks. I'm glad you like it. I am thinking about possibly updating the code base so that the prices are generated in real-time, based off Apple's current stock price.

I have been looking for a Quicksilver replacement for quite some time, and while initial versions of Alfred were too slow for my liking, this new beta is super quick. I suggest everyone give it a try.

I also really enjoy using LESS. It has all the features I need, with a syntax which still feels like CSS. I personally can't stand the whitespace rules for SASS.

Yep, the framework checks if the WebSocket object is defined, and if not, defines a custom WebSocket objects based around flash sockets.

Contact info is now in my profile (via my website)

Probably not, simply because it is a project for a class.

Yep, Hilfinger is teaching the class this semester.

A Python compiler using Flex, Bison and C++.

Any suggestions on a kit / parts for a novice?

The question now is whether this information will have any effect in Washington. My bet is that it will not.
