Woah, this is really cool!

Now .. who is going to write the vim plugin? :D

great ending!

Amazon is paying for it and it is reflected in the price you pay. Windows machines are more expensive to spin up than Linux machines.

Naming things is hard, but this seems like a total punt. :) Help us out!

super awesome.

I see you. :)

looks sharp!

This is a really impressive effort!

Great thread.

is there a reason we should be worried about that? :)

Google has given out hardware worth more than that every single year. That being said.. they might not this year :)

Whhhaaaaat the hell? Is this real?

just say fuck! we're all thinking it!

You lived on Sealand? I would love to hear more about that.

While Swift is a new language, that method is calling into very old framework code written in Objective-C. Which is very verbose.

Not only does Ben seem to have infinite energy for making cool shit, he's also a nice guy.

Nice!

This is a great socializing hack.

Extreme version: tall soda w/ lime. some bars won't even charge you because they will assume you're driving and want to encourage responsible behavior, and no one will bother you about "come on just one drink!" because it looks so much like a voda/gin and soda.

I so badly want to live in a country where we can count on people to hear this, acknowledge it's absurdity, and act accordingly. Do we?

I appreciate your optimism. I really hope it works out well for this guy. I am seriously glad I'm not the one facing these charges though.

This immediately reminded me of open source software. Interesting.

This is the stuff that keeps me coming back to Hacker News.

They actually do condoms as well. Great service.

Been using http://minimotivation.com/ for a while. This looks really similar.

Definitely something I've had to realize as I got older. One of the lies that I tell myself is that I can buy new stuff because I can easily sell it a year later for so close to what I bought it for, I'd be a fool NOT to buy it!

Apple products are the only things that this has been true for ultimately.. And honestly, having a laptop around enables me to make money so it's a no brainer.

... and a book!

Would love to hear more about what it's really going to cost me. Ever since Sparrow stopped working as well as I wanted it to, and didn't seem to have any hope of improving, I've been back to gmail's web interface. How are they going to make money?

Totally stoked to have something new to check out in this space though. :)

It doesn't have the main feature of "DAD I WANTED AN IPOD TOUCH" unfortunately.

This could probably fill an entire separate thread but I love this thought. I am only just now remembering that I actually used to sit down at a computer and .. wait for it.. FINISH. I'd do something.. be done. Then I'd go do something else.

The computer has become infinite. Yikes.

Interesting to read about github using MySQL instead of Postgres. Anyone know why? I am just curious because of all the MySQL bashing I hear in the echo chamber.

The headaches are (probably) withdrawal symptoms from sugar. Also, make sure you crank up that water intake.

Meant to up vote on mobile and hit down instead, sorry. Someone balance it for me?
