Seriuosly - Excelent job!

mindaugas··on IE 8 Release candidate available for download (does load faster than Firefox)
I think it's more important to let IE6 die(stop supporting it).
mindaugas··on Ask HN: Anyone feel the need for personalized filter on submissions?
I agree, actually it's good idea, to have filters by submitter as well.
mindaugas··on Ask HN: What web framework(s) do you guys use?
ramaze ! and that means rack -> ruby
mindaugas··on Standalone web applications using OCaml + Ocsigen, benchmarked against Rails
Personally I think ruby is fast enough in most cases. I'd vote for lower memory usage though.

But the point is that ocaml brings so much more interesting tings to web application development and deploy than raw speed, though that helps too.

read the comment number 5 for quick explanation.
mindaugas··on Ask HN: Scalable framework for web apps?
If you really want to play... you could use erlang

Nitrogen - http://github.com/rklophaus/nitrogen/wikis <- quite new

Erlang web - http://www.erlang-web.org/ <- serious enterprisey guys.

Erlyweb - http://erlyweb.org/ <- ROR for Erlang

And one more for the scalability fetish - http://www.metabrew.com/article/a-million-user-comet-applica...

mindaugas··on Why Git is Better Than X
Actually I started using git just for fun and it was on windows. At first I used just graphical interface gittk. It was very easy and clear. I encourage every git newbie to try gittk. After using gittk "index thing" became a lot clearer. So what I'm trying to say is that Git is not some complex beast with dark powers. P.S. And I'm hardly an alpha geek or even power user.
mindaugas··on Top 100 Blogs for Developers
hey, the real title is - Top 100 Blogs for Development Managers (Q3 2008). SO this title is misleading. Also Joel and Coding Horror are so 2006. ;)
mindaugas··on Ask HN: Should I drop out or not?
If you don't now the answer yet, then you should stay where you are until you know what you want to do next.
mindaugas··on Microsoft Poaches Yahoo's Top Search Engineer; "the end of Yahoo search."
I think it is really good time for Yahoo to reinvent themselves... but of course they might need someone like S. Jobs
mindaugas··on Laid-Off Tech Worker Kills 3 in Silicon Valley
It makes me sad. Because the saddest news makes biggest headlines. And I hate this when people love disasters. I'd rather hear the success stories.
mindaugas··on Ask HN: programming languages written in JavaScript?
I'm not really sure but maybe ... processing.js ? http://ejohn.org/blog/processingjs/

I think it can serve as an example.

mindaugas··on Ask HN: Anyone running a US-based non-resident LLC?
I wonder why do you need US based LLC?

If your business is web based you can run it from anywhere... :)

Just curious...

mindaugas··on Ask HN: How to monetize a play for fun poker site?
I'd like to point to real free "play for fun" site: http://gpokr.com

And it seems quite popular I think :)

P.S. written in GWT .

mindaugas··on Erlang Web: open source framework for applications
What about erlang web frameworks on top of Mochiweb ? Is there any?
mindaugas··on Gnip Says XMPP Ecosytem Too Half-Baked, Pulls the Plug
Maybe AMQP is the answer?
mindaugas··on Highly ironic comment from Steve Yegge (scroll down to "Lame Languages")
actually there are two things about python, which kind of backs yegge's opinion: 1. there is "the only true way" to indent your code; 2. type ctrl-d to exit; :D
mindaugas··on Where is your user name registered?
Maybe it should do everything in parallel?
