Yep, I had disk issues on a new box too. Hetzner is great though. Also don't be too worried about high ping times, I recently moved http://readable.cc away from Linode and the site is much, much faster (and I'm in Australia, the other end of the planet.)

It doesn't meet all your requirements but try http://Readable.cc. You can sign up on the website or host it yourself.

https://github.com/ElbertF/Readable.cc

Let me emphasise your point with a bit of shameless self-promotion. It may not be what the OP is calling for but some of you might like it. It's a web based feed reader that I've been working on since before Google announced the imminent shut down of Reader.

http://Readable.cc

I have http://readwrite.io and a few others. Click through for my email address.

So, I made this. It's a readable feed reader that promotes interesting content based on articles you vote for.

This is not a finished product, I'm trying this "release early" thing. I figured the timing is right with Google Reader disappearing.

Readable.cc is open-source, built on Swiftlet: https://github.com/ElbertF/Readable.cc

I'm really missing Firebug's DOM tab (being able to see all JavaScript functions and properties). Also the ability to see which event are being fired.

According to Wappalyzer 60% of sites that use a JavaScript framework use jQuery:

It's a different statistic but does make the 50% seem reasonable.

There's no need to control the cursor, you can just replay the request. Open up Firebug, solve a puzzle and capture the POST data being transmitted to the server:

    observation_data: {"observationNumber":3,"mouse":[{"x":1,"y":68,"down":false},{"{"observationNumber":3,"mouse":[{"x":1,"y":68,"down":false},{"x":1,"y":68,"down":false},{"x":1,"y":68,"down":false},{"x":1,"y":68,"down":false},{"x":1,"y":68,"down":false},{"x":1,"y":68,"down":false},{"x":1,"y":68,"down":false},{"x":1,"y":68,"down":false},{"x":2,"y":55,"down":false},{"x":34,"y":50,"down":false},{"x":40,"y":51,"down":false},{"x":40,"y":52,"down":false},{"x":40,"y":52,"down":false},{"x":40,"y":52,"down":false},{"x":40,"y":52,"down":false},{"x":40,"y":52,"down":true},{"x":40,"y":52,"down":true},{"x":108,"y":52,"down":true},{"x":242,"y":50,"down":true},{"x":327,"y":52,"down":true},{"x":336,"y":52,"down":true},{"x":336,"y":52,"down":true},{"x":336,"y":52,"down":true},{"x":336,"y":52,"down":true},{"x":336,"y":52,"down":true},{"x":336,"y":52,"down":true},{"x":336,"y":52,"down":true},{"x":336,"y":52,"down":true},{"x":336,"y":52,"down":true}],"clock":[16555,16597,16636,16677,16723,16755,16797,16837,16877,16917,16957,16996,17036,17075,17116,17157,17198,17236,17277,17319,17357,17396,17438,17476,17517,17557,17598,17638,17677],"bins":[[{"id":2,"time":14037}],[{"id":3,"time":16156},{"id":4,"time":17677}],[{"id":4,"time":17677}]],"items":[]}

Not sure how I feel about Google asking me to take its pants off.

It would have been an i486, this was in the mid-nineties. I was twelve at the time. I kept all of my code, it still runs in DOSBox.

17 Years. This is the source code of the first "game" I wrote in 1997, in QBasic:

I played it once... For about three years straight.

Type hinting exists for objects and arrays but not for scalar types (string, int, float, bool) unfortunately.

Thanks, that's the one!

I was surprised to finally see my own blog showing up in the results when I googl-, err, searched for my own name. But then I searched for "name /blog" and my blog disappeared. It did however show an irrelevant GitHub page with a pull request I once submitted. So it seems to work for rough searches but refining needs some... Refining. I won't be making the switch today.

He addresses this too:

"The other important thing it’s trying to catch is people who are creating individual accounts, rather than +Pages, for non-human entities such as businesses or organizations. The behavior of +Pages is deliberately restricted in the system, and we don’t want people to be creating fake human accounts to circumvent that. The name check turns out to be a very powerful tool to catch these."

This is followed by the previous quote.

From the same comment (no way to link to it directly):

"The other case is people such as +trench coat, who are so well-known under this handle that it would be bizarre not to let them onto the system under this name. For this case, we allow appeals based on being well-known under the name: thus the ability to prove the 'established pseudonym.'"

Yonatan Zunger (who works on Google+) posted this in a comment:

"Our name check is therefore looking, not for things that don’t look like “your” name, but for things which don’t look like names, period. In fact, we do not give a damn whether the name posted is “your” name or not: we will not challenge you on this basis, nor is there any mechanism for other users to cause you to be challenged for this."

MapReduce! Use millions of Twitter accounts.

A bit of CSS3 and three JS libraries: http://i.imgur.com/aQDg1.png

Ah. You're right, I missed that.

The branches on the right disappear after the camera cuts away (I had to flip the image): http://i.imgur.com/a9qbm.png

The OP's script can be refactored to half a line of JS. Not exactly HN worthy.

    setInterval(function(){$('div').html($('textarea').val())},150);

There you go, I'm releasing it under the WTFPL license.

As seen on HN 8 months ago, although this looks like a nice redesign: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2406614

It's down for me, here's a mirror:

Nostalgia? It's a language that introduced many of us to programming.

To try out the nightly build, here's a QR code:

It's buggy but the new UI looks pretty slick already.
