LuxuryMode··on Google Drive OSX application is very heavy on the CPU
I'm experiencing the same issue. Fans blazing as we speak.

LuxuryMode··on Weekend project: A place to post crappy code. HatePaste
I gave it a whirl. Entered some ruby and clicked post with no title entered. Nothing happened. Just back to /post...
LuxuryMode··on Ask HN: Elance for software designers/architects?
I also wish there were something like this. The projects on elance and odesk are very often asking for tons of work at sweatshop wages/prices. Someone needs to create a better freelance network.

Thanks for the quick response. I now see the room in the footer. I clicked it and my file is nowhere to be found...
LuxuryMode··on Show HN: Unlimited Free Backup For Life (built in HTML5)
I just signed up, created a room, named it, tagged it, uploaded a file to it and saved it. Now I have no idea how to find that room. Tried searching for it, nothing happens. This looked promising and then... it just falls flat.
LuxuryMode··on Show HN: elegant open-source pastebin server (node.js & redis)
Pretty cool and great name. Only thing is that (when I tried Java) the syntax highlighting wasn't all that great.
LuxuryMode··on Show HN: Routinetap, my weekend project to track daily habits
Blarg. Who the hell wants to enter all these stats about their life, carefully submitting numbers about their day, etc. bla bla bla. so in human. in the end you're like a slave to the careful entering of stats about yourself, managing your facts like some accountant.
LuxuryMode··on All Programming is Web Programming
LOL. That dude's comments are hilarious. As someone with a lot of experience in mobile (Java/Objective-C) I couldn't believe he said web development is easy. I am just learning web stuff now and I find to be very challenging and exciting.
LuxuryMode··on Confident Code
fantastic
LuxuryMode··on Show HN: Scroll Reddit
This is actually pretty awesome. Nicely done.
LuxuryMode··on Patently Absurd - Copyright Law Can Meet the Needs of Software Developers
I think you're missing the whole point. The DataTreasury example illustrates a fundamental problem with patents which is only exaggerated when it comes to software and software "processes." The problem is, as the article pointed out, that the patents are construed to be so broad that basically anyone can be said to be infringing it. To patent the idea itself of 'scanning checks with a device and sending it to a server' is pretty absurd. A copyright is more appropriate. If you copied the code, etc then you violate the copyright. But to say that anyone that implements this idea is in violation ... that's not encouraging innovation. It just encourages running to the patent office as fast as you can.

Great read and great points.
LuxuryMode··on Show HN: Just launched - No more crappy apps
I like this. I was recommended Hulu plus right away which, on account of the android market's terrible app discovery, i didnt even know existed.
LuxuryMode··on Enrollment for Stanford's online DB class now open
I don't get how to read the answer choices for this question:

<!DOCTYPE A [ <!ELEMENT A (B+, C)> <!ELEMENT B (#PCDATA)> <!ELEMENT C (B?, D)> <!ELEMENT D (#PCDATA)> ]> Which of the following sequences of opening and closing tags matches this DTD? Note: In actual XML, opening and closing tags would be enclosed in angle brackets, and some elements might have text subelements. This quiz focuses on the element sequencing and interleaving specified by the DTD.

What does this mean for example? A B /B B /B C B /B D /D D /D /C /A
