Chrome, Ubuntu 13.10

Looks very useful, thanks for posting. I'll try using it instead of tail over the next few weeks.

Ah Knoppix. I remember how blown away I was when I first ran the Live CD; at that time I had no idea it was even possible. It's a shame that it faded from popularity once Ubuntu came along.

What if my automation tool uses SSH (ie, Ansible)?

Look promising.

As others have said, it's too slow to be of any use. Also, I agree that the animations on the front page are terrible and need to go.

The "Show" button in "Answers and Discussions" should really switch to a "Hide" button when the text is revealed. The current toggled state, which is the down-state of the "Show" button, is too subtle and I couldn't tell that it was toggled to the down-state. I thought it was a bug at first.

I came here to make this very same comment; glad to see it had already been posted.

The pirate industry was light years ahead of anything the corporates were doing. All Apple did was convince the music labels to allow them to distribute their music digitally.

The digital download market has succeeded in spite of iTunes, not because of it.

Do you mind if I ask how you are able to use Twitter to keep on top of stuff? I only really have HN and Reddit to keep up with work related news. I've never been able to figure out how to use Twitter for anything useful. It's total gibberish to me.

Thank you for this! It looks pretty awesome.

Wow, it sounds like you're interviewing for a best friend there not a work colleague. I seriously doubt you've ever recruited more than a handful of people using this criteria.

I get the author's point, but he has decided that frosted effects have gone out of fashion and uses this as a litmus test for whether or not a platform is in decline.

The crux of this argument is that "pointless" features are a result of stalled innovation. I'm sure if the author was to look more closely at his Android phone he would see a great number of pointless features; especially in OEM skins like Touchwiz.

If the author was trying to convince me that Android is a superior platform when it comes to innovation (which it may well be) then he has failed to provided any evidence other than "because frosted effects".

I'll echo what the others have said in that it's a little confusing. It's more of a dashboard creation kit than a tool for end-users. For example, do I really need to be able to change the span of the dash widgets as an end-user?

I'm also not sure what the Queries search boxes do. I typed in an area of interest "AngularJS", but couldn't figure out what it did. I was hoping to get a list of all submissions about AngularJS (including all the metrics in the Graph widget).

You've obviously put a lot of hard work into this and I love your idea. I just feel that it's more of a tool for you as a developer than me as an end-user.

I've bookmarked you and look forward to checking up on future progress!

Here is one that was posted to HN a little while ago:

HN Submission: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6053901

A fellow HN'er posted a collection of all the best tutorials and docs into one cohesive training programme.

It's an excellent resource for those of us trying get our heads around Angular's woeful documentation:

This is brilliant, thank you. I've been looking for a way to introduce Angular to the team and your site will really help.

Whenever I see a headline with a leading question in its title my automatic response is "no".

It's lazy writing and tries to colour my opinion before even presenting the facts.

Here in the UK I get:

"We're sorry but this site is not accessible from the UK as it is part of our international service and is not funded by the licence fee."

Sure thing: https://github.com/dotcloud/docker/issues/813

What I mean is, that in order to pull from the repository (eg, docker pull base) I need to connect using a proxy server.

I really want start getting my hands dirty with Docker and give it a good evaluation. However, until they can support using a proxy server, it's dead-on-arrival for me.

I filed a bug report and even been on to the IRC channel to chat to the devs, but no-one seems interested.

Developers of the world: a large number of people will experiment with your products at work and a large number of work places use proxies. Don't forget about us when you invent a shiny new toy!

I really like this site, thanks for posting it.

This looks great! Thank you.

I'd not heard of IFTTT. Thanks for the tip.

I'm finding I have to check HN around 10-15 times a day, lest I miss some of the more interesting submissions.

I really enjoying a lot of the ShowHN, Startup news, and discussions around programming languages/libraries.

I primarily come to HN to learn. This seems to be the place that many clever people congregate to share opinions and ideas. I really just like to listen to what they have to say to each other.

However, it seems that a lot of the good submissions drop off the front page after just a few hours. The ones that tend to stick around seem to be more "political" than anything else. I guess it's easier to voice an opinion on an outrage-article as you don't need any real expertise.

I do wish we could just get back to talking mostly about development/tech stuff. There is so much to learn in this industry and HN is one of the few places where it all comes together.

What is a socially regressive policy and why are Libertarian candidates prone to them?

I find SourceTree to be very slow and heavy.

If I need to use a GUI then I find the built-in Gitk and GitGui more than adequate. They're not pretty, of course, but they do the job just fine.

Actually, it's an LED frontlit screen, not backlit. While this may seem like a small distinction, it is much easier on the eyes (I'm told).

Sure, but I don't see why an effort to study how successful teams work and distil in a methodology needs to be derided by other programmers.

Most managers I've worked with just wanted some transparency and predictability to the process. Waterfall failed to provide that and now the industry is experimenting with Agile.

I find it distasteful when developers grumble to each other about having to perform basic tasks such as unit testing (TDD, BDD or whatever). I've worked with far too many 1/10x developers to know some kind of process is required to keep them on the straight and narrow.

There is no magic bullet, but I think it's time we stop snorting in derision at the industry's attempts to reduce the unpredictability of building (and maintaining!) complex software.

How does this differ to any of the other hundreds of online casinos in the UK?

"the iPhone still crushes everyone on music apps / syncing / acquisition"

I'll give you "acquisition", but if you are for a moment suggesting that iTunes is anything other than a steaming turd, then I must respectfully disagree.

I personally prefer the plethora of music apps available for Android and that Google Music cloud thing ain't too shabby either.

Odd, my experience was exactly the opposite. For me, 3D HFR was a totally immersive experience. It felt like the action was happening right in front of me, on a stage.

Bear in mind, I cannot stand those TVs that double the frame rate to make everything look like a cheap soap opera. I've heard this comparison, or ones like it, in almost every negative review I've read. In my opinion, this is false comparison.

Imagine if soap operas were filmed in colour, and proper films shot in black and white. Then a film maker comes along and releases a colour film. Suddenly everyone says it looks like a cheap soap opera. To me this is the psychological effect that is hindering the acceptance of HFR and thus the negative reviews.

Ten years from now our children will scoff at our luddism.
