nicolasv··on Show HN: A New Way to Learn Languages
Yes, found it, thank you!

(For reference, it didn't show up with search term "radio ambulante" but did with "Radio Ambulante")

This is great, I’ve been wanting something like this for a while!

A few points of early feedback after 15min of listening with only “Show Translation” on:

1. Showing only a fragment of each sentence at a time feels hard to follow as in scanning to the start of the next fragment (which can jump around vertically) and lacking the context of previous words

Would you consider a view that shows more of the surrounding words but, like focus mode in iA Writer, grays out the non-current fragment?

2. There are sometimes gaps in transcription/translation

3. I couldn’t find my favourite Spanish podcast, Radio Ambulante, which I feel would probably be quite a popular one for Spanish learners — Any particular reason?

If you're both using macOS, the Messages app's screen sharing [1] is seriously good.

nicolasv··on Tidying up after Pull Requests
Bitbucket asks the question about whether to close the branch in a pull request at the time you create it, e.g.,

  https://s3.amazonaws.com/uploads.hipchat.com/10804/29957/csa3g3hjsk6i27p/close-branch-after-merge.png
since the person creating it is usually in the best position to decide whether the feature branch they're working on is "complete".

Though I really like GitHub's implementation for cleaning up old pull requests (or ones you forgot to tick the close branch checkbox for).

(Full disclosure: I'm a developer on Bitbucket for Atlassian.)

nicolasv··on Introducing the Redesigned Bitbucket
Thanks, Jeremy, and thanks for the offer. I'll be in touch with a paragraph for Bitbucket.

We've just added a Meld/IntelliJ style diff to FishEye 2.2, e.g., http://sandbox.fisheye.atlassian.com/browse/rails/actionpack...
