He probably owns an iPhone 4S.

I was prepared for a link bait blog post and I ended up getting a quality piece of writing. Pretty good.

Safari doesn't work for me, but Chrome does.

Man, I'd love to use Chocolat. Can't wait for a wider release. (if anyone wants to throw an invite my way, evan@nothingconcept.com).

What's missing from it compared to TextMate?

The app at chao.heroku.com is not the copy.

Thanks for spamming HN with this (your?) blog, by the way. Your submission history says it all.

It's remarkable how little was said in the blog post.

I can guess they'd so something like a unique URL that expires quickly and checks the user agent/headers/other stuff. Like all of this kind of stuff, it won't be bulletproof, but it'll be good enough. I'm sure I'm missing some other option that's better, though.

Whenever I read stuff from him (especially his tweets), I feel like he's on a whole different level than the programmers I usually see.

Incredible.

Well, 12 is the stable release, so I hardly think supporting 14 is a priority.

If you're on HN, you already know what this is. Probably.

I've seen them work, but it didn't for me.

Can someone explain how this works?

Quite ambitious. I like it.

This post is a few months old, though, and no public developments can be seen. I hope it goes on.

Nothing I've seen lately. MongoMapper 0.9 and on is shaping up rather well with its ActiveModel usage and whatnot.

A part of me thinks "Ey, he might steal any ideas that get put in there!"

Then again, ideas aren't that valuable.

Either way, I wouldn't worry too much.

"Javascript code requires regular commenting in order to make it easily understandable."

Or you could, you know, just make code that's understandable.

I'm such an Internet jerk.

The idea is ok, but the implementation he demonstrates would not fit in iOS.

I don't think the author is aware that you can post a photo without a filter.

I think the beauty of Internet startups is that, since the Internet is (essentially) global, one doesn't need to put so much weight on where their business is physically located.

There is some credence to the idea that startups in NY or SF will do better because there is a certain type of culture around there. However, I don't believe a startup will live or die depending on where their mail is delivered.

This sort of thinking is one of my favorite features of Rails.

Despite the article's linkbait title, Assange does have some legitimate points.

It's all kind of frightening, actually.

I wish I could do this. I don't know any coders in real life. I guess that's what I get for being the programmer at an art school.
