Oompa··on Vim-powerline: The ultimate vim statusline utility
It has syntastic support https://img.skitch.com/20120112-t9qeth7nhrdxp25rekxxjqgk16.j...
Oompa··on Why Aren't Other SOPA Supporters Being Punished Like GoDaddy?
That, and GoDaddy is one that many internet users are primary customers. We can try to boycott Wal-mart, but most of their customers are not ones that know what SOPA is, let alone that Wal-Mart supports it.
Oompa··on Spark
I feel like they're examples of really awesome use cases, so it shouldn't matter if people can't use them. Not to mention, I feel like this tool is targeted for terminal junkies who likely already have awk/sed.
Oompa··on Google Reader cutting internal social features, integrating into Google+
Do many people use these features? Most of the people that I know who use Google Reader, myself included, just use it as an RSS reader. Sending it to other social networks is the one thing that I do use, and they won't be changing that.
Oompa··on Daring Fireball: Amazon's New Kindles
"If they want to make the iPad a laptop killer, they first need to make it more like Asus's Transformer, with a keyboard dock"

Not only does Apple actually make a keyboard dock: http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC533LL/B?fnode=MTc0MjU4Nj... but the iPad can also connect to a Bluetooth keyboard, which I've actually used in the past.

"and second, they need to get more apps on iOS that can replace people's need for Windows apps."

They've obviously released some with the iWork suite. There's also simple text editors (and more sophisticated ones, but I'm not a fan). I can easily see the iPad as a laptop killer for some.

Oompa··on Textmate 2 - Alpha this year
What? TextMate has great file finding functionality, but the find in project is certainly a weak point… It grinds to a hault on HDDs with large projects. It's alright with an SSD, but I wouldn't say it any better than using vim's Ack plugin.
Oompa··on TrueCrypt 7.1 w/ [OS X 64-bit support]
You're going to do full disk encryption, and then upload your entire disk to Drop Box? Seems kinda strange…
Oompa··on What is in your .vimrc

Oompa··on Improving Yourself is Easy
I'm making my own journey through similar milestones, and I'd agree. It is easy!
Oompa··on Comcast cuts off customer for going over 250GB of legitimate use
If you log into the Comcast Website and go to "Users & Settings" you should see "High-Speed Internet Data Usage" next to the sidebar.
Oompa··on Comcast cuts off customer for going over 250GB of legitimate use
I'm worried about this. I live with 4 other internet heavy users, so I checked our usage last week, and saw that we've consistently been blowing past the 250GB cap. Last month, we hit 566GB.

Comcast hasn't contacted me or shut off our service yet, and I hope they don't.

Oompa··on Bulletproof Rails Asset Caching
I believe that in Rails 3.1 they're including a fix for this, so work arounds like this won't be necessary anymore :)
Oompa··on Top 3 Code Editors For the iPad
MacVim.
Oompa··on Square (phone based payment system)
Weird. I just got mine today and I have no issues with it. New batch, less problems?
Oompa··on Ping: Why Bother?
Perhaps if iTunes didn't suck, and if I could use it in my browser of choice, I'd like it more. But as it stands I won't ever use it. Last.fm does everything I need and more, doesn't take up yet another spot in the in iTunes.
Oompa··on The Startup Diet: How I Lost 35 Pounds While Working Overtime
I've lost 30 pounds over the course of 6 months by eating more reasonable portions (No more downing 2 cokes, 1 lb of chicken wings, and fries in 1 sitting) and exercising more. I did this gradually, never too concerned about it. Sure it wasn't as quick as Paul's story here, but it works fine and requires very little effort.
Oompa··on Russian scientists have created a breed of domesticated foxes (costs $6K)
It certainly sounds like it.
Oompa··on Starcraft II Launched Today (goodbye free time)
There's a story to Starcraft? Huh…
Oompa··on High Ground Maneuver (Scott Adams on the iPhone 4 press conference)
This is fixed in the new update. The bars are now linear.
Oompa··on Developer Earns Nearly $1,400 in One Day With iAds
Not to mention iAds are new. I'd likely click any one I see, since I haven't seen one yet.
Oompa··on Ubuntu command line fu - How not to spell "ls"
`brew install sl` if you want it on OS X.
Oompa··on IPhone 4 Class Action Lawsuits Begin
From what I've seen, you're not the minority. I don't know of anyone that actually is experiencing this problem other than the people complaining online. Also, all reviews I've read have not had this issue, but do mention that a good number of people are experiencing it.
Oompa··on Good Noows: A well designed news reader
Am I the only one that really enjoys a simple RSS reader like NewFire? Give me a big view of the current article, and every time I hit space bar, move forward to the next unread article.
Oompa··on 5 Ingredients/10 Minutes cookbook - great recipes for a busy hacker [pdf]
Of course I did. No way I could go through a gallon of chili before in a reasonable amount of time.
Oompa··on 5 Ingredients/10 Minutes cookbook - great recipes for a busy hacker [pdf]
30x agree. I got a crock pot for my dorm. Best decision ever. Being able to come back from classes to have the entire hall smell like delicious chili is only surpassed by eating it.
Oompa··on Chrome Mostly Outperforms Safari 5 in JavaScript Benchmarks
My experience has been Safari 5 is more stable and snappier than Chrome on OS X. This outweighs the extra JavaScript execution speed in Chrome.
Oompa··on Dallas - Fort Worth Area Startups Are Hiring
This would've been really awesome when I lived in DFW.
Oompa··on Ask HN: What's your morning routine?
Wake. Shower. Dry off while reading HN, Reddit, Twitter, Emails, RSS feeds, etc. Get dressed. Make myself breakfast & eat it. Brush teeth. Get to work.
Oompa··on Blippy Publishes User Credit Card Numbers
I'm glad I never trusted them enough to give them my information.
Oompa··on I'm going to be on Mixergy today at 11am PDT
Am I the only one that doesn't like Mixergy?
