daGrevis··on Github.com unavailable due to a large DDoS attack
I agree. I can't install/update plugins for Vim using Vundle.

I heard that Go language can import packages directly from GitHub. So it means that they can't compile?

daGrevis··on Google Web Designer
Dreamweaver comes to mind.
daGrevis··on Show HN: Escape from Bookmark Hell
Too bad that they aren't stored in the cloud. I want my bookmarks to be synced across my devices.
daGrevis··on Reveal.js
Not sure what's cooler — presentation itself or the topic.
daGrevis··on Non-alphanumeric Backdoors
What are the most effective and sneaky backdoor mechanisms you know? I'll be forced to implement a one myself so it better be good.
daGrevis··on Cocktails for programmers
I really like Long Island Iced Tea, what about other hackers?
daGrevis··on Vim is the worst editor, except all the other editors

daGrevis··on Clojure for the Brave and True – Functional Programming
> Does it make sense to have to learn Haskell and a Haskell framework just to understand Clojure?

I have a strong feeling that once you understand either Haskell or Clojure, it will be a breeze to learn other.

My point was to get framework for functional programming that deals with a lot of I/O and side-effects and see docs for real-life examples of usage.

daGrevis··on Clojure for the Brave and True – Functional Programming
I suggest to dig in some web framework for functional programming. One example would be Snap for Haskell. http://snapframework.com/
daGrevis··on Google is changing its logo
It's about time. Old logo reminds me of times when people used tables to design web-pages.
daGrevis··on I don't know Regex
First thing to do when writing regexes is to write them on multiple lines. Also, you should use comments. It will make them more readable and easier to follow. Also, I want to suggest Zed's Learn Regex The Hard Way.

daGrevis··on I couldn't wait for the new Mac Pro
Seems to me that this is something between OS X and Linux. Beautiful and will work with most apps on OS X (the OS X part), but not that easy to set up and may require some tinkering (the Linux part and I'm not saying that it's a bad thing or that Tux is not beautiful).
daGrevis··on Is it worth buying a MacBook Air?
In my opinion, if you prefer Linux over OS X, you should take a look at Dell XPS 13 Ultrabook.

daGrevis··on Quickly navigate your filesystem from the command line
This is great, but I don't see why this is better than autojump.

* Autojump automatically saves marks,

~~~ cd Downloads # And you are done. ~~~

* You don't have to think about mark names,

~~~ cd Projects/Python # It will be called `python`. ~~~

* You don't need to remember mark names,

~~~ j haskell # If you want `Projects/Haskell`, odds are the mark is auto-named `haskell`. ~~~

* You can specify only some part of mark name;

~~~ j bar # And you are in `Stuff/foobar`. ~~~

Other than that, this is, as I said before, great! Looking forward to go through the source code to learn more about Bash.

daGrevis··on Show HN: Virtual Machines in the Browser
It's the best attempt I've seen so far, but still it's very close from _the real Vim_.

See this: http://haldean.org/docstore/?vim-problems .

daGrevis··on Identicons
A lot of people may know already that PHP is purple, Python is blue and JavaScript is orange. Or at least GitHub has chosen those colors to represent languages on their site.

So I would like that my avatar is more blue'ish because I focus on Python. :)

daGrevis··on Using Voice to Code Faster than Keyboard
Reminds me of VimSpeak.

Unfortunately, I don't have webcam at work.

I will enable this at home for my side-projects! This is really LOL.
daGrevis··on mpv - a free and open-source general-purpose video player
I discovered it few days ago. Currently trying to set up Xmonad to work with it's fullscreen.

What are the main pros comparing to, lets say, VLC?

daGrevis··on ElementaryOs Luna released
If someone is as lost as me and can't found on which distro this one is based, it's Ubuntu with Linux 3.2.

After having a quick look using virtual box, it's really handcrafted nicely and could be a good alternative to Xubuntu. Great job! :)

daGrevis··on PEP 450: Adding A Statistics Module To The Standard Library
Technically speaking, they are separate URLs that may lead to separate resources. For example, Google engine treats them as separate URLs.

That's the reason why opening http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0450 redirects to http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0450/ . HN engine should follow redirect to avoid situations like this.

daGrevis··on Python for Android
So I'm good to go. A pretty big challenge for me, but I will handle it at some weekend for sure! :)
daGrevis··on Python for Android
This is really cool!

I'm interested in creating daemons that, for example, forwards SMSes to my email and records made voice calls. Is API good enough to do that?
