empyrical··on Building Nuclide, a unified developer experience
I paid for Sublime - it's my favourite editor by far. There are ways for companies to support themselves while having their offering be open source though. And I think Sublime might need to eventually to compete
empyrical··on Building Nuclide, a unified developer experience
I really hope Sublime goes open source someday
empyrical··on LLJS : Low-Level JavaScript
I wonder if LLJS could become something like Cython for JavaScript. Imagine writing Node or Emscripten bindings to a C library with JS!
empyrical··on Ask HN: Is C/C++ really faster than Python?
> how is that possible

PyPy is written in a restricted subset of Python called RPython, which gets translated into C

empyrical··on ECMAScript 2015 Approved
Because of their switch to use a year instead of a version number, do they plan on doing these ES enhancements more often?
empyrical··on Favicon bug
Should this have been done as a private disclosure to browser vendors first before going public, or is that more for security problems?
empyrical··on Why Open Source Misses the Point of Free Software
I could be wrong, but I think if you communicate with the GPL application using the command line under the hood, the application doesn't fall under the GPL either; which I think is how the closed source applications that provide a Git frontend work
empyrical··on React Is a Terrible Idea
> Seriously, why not just introduce JSX ... as separate libraries?

Well, they kinda did something like that just recently, they're using Babel now instead of their own:

Maybe they'll spin off more parts as React matures?

empyrical··on Ember.js 1.13.0 and 2.0 Beta Released
Has anyone made a JSX transformer that plays nice with Mithril? Seems like it would make using that api you provided a snippet of less painful

I seem to be getting an invalid certificate warning on this site, is this happening for anyone else?
empyrical··on Terms of Service, Didn't Read
There's also this similar website which seems to be mainly used for software licenses

empyrical··on Enaml: A declarative UI library with a Cassowary layout system for Python
They've got a ton of screenshots and accompanying code snippets here:

empyrical··on Grid Style Sheets – Replace CSS with a Constraint-Solver
I watched video of a talk by one of the guys who made this - he said they thought about making a static website generator like jekyll or something which would use the in-browser version to let you preview things live, then they'd have a tool to autogenerate with mediaqueries different versions of the stylesheet for different common screen sizes so you don't need JS. Sounds like a pretty cool compromise to me!

edit: the video I saw is actually that o'reilly video that's linked in the GSS website

empyrical··on RedditStorage
Someone made a reddit FUSE filesystem (I don't know if it still works though)

empyrical··on Yahoo Pipes End-Of-life Announcement
I really hope there's a new service that can pick up where Pipes left off, it was a huge shame how it fizzled out at yahoo.
empyrical··on RedditStorage
Pretty clever. If it was stored in reddit's wiki system instead of comments, it could have a revision history!
