You're forgetting the price: Paid Slack accounts start at $6.67/user, HipChat $2/user. That's a very big difference for even a medium-sized business.

Care to explain?

LogMeIn has a history of buying useful products and then raising prices on them without much warning. I was a faithful customer of Hamachi until LogMeIn purchased them, upped the price, and then tried to lock me in to a subscription.

Sure, but getting there takes a lot of work, something that Slack already gives you out of the box.

Here's yet another way:

  sudo bash -c 'curl https://github.com/art-dot-git/80x40/blob/master/README > /etc/motd'

The same could be said for the majority of financial institution websites. It's ridiculous how insecure and behind the times they are. Behind password restrictions, I'd say the next biggest thing that angers me is that they claim to support two-factor when it's really just "Wish It Was Two-Factor" in the form of so-called "security questions": http://thedailywtf.com/articles/WishItWas-TwoFactor-

It's up to your insurer to provide that information in a usable format. There are products out there that will present this information in a searchable format that makes it easy to do cost-comparisons like your example, all from within your insurer's portal. The problem is getting these insurers to realize that features like these are important to their clients.

Yet it's not something that IRC provides out of the box.

I've got no issues running my own ZNC bouncer, but when you're choosing a product that an entire organization will use (including people who have no idea what "ZNC" means other than 3 letters), IRC is lacking a lot of features that get mentioned in every HN chat solution thread.

It'd be neat to see an update, but it's not going to happen. Mechanical keyboards are a niche product.

I use fzf https://github.com/junegunn/fzf combined with bash and zsh for doing some fuzzy completion of history when pressing CTRL-R. Also opens the list in a tmux pane if it's installed. Plus, it's very useful in Vim for opening files in the current buffer.

Joyent actually extends this and allows you to treat an entire datacenter as your docker host, similar to how you can use a product like VMware to cluster ESX hosts together.

Indeed. I skimmed the top of the page and my first thought was "Is this a transit app? Oh, 'Lombard'. Must be SF-only".
