It's a good idea and will save me time. But, I really think it needs a subject line.

Dig the idea, but agree the design is lacking. I'm still going to subscribe - good luck!

That site is pretty cool, there are lots of similar charts and graphs on there.

I worked in Olathe, Kansas for about eight years before moving to Portland, Oregon. I wouldn't personally move back, but I sure do miss the BBQ and significantly lower cost of living.

Assuming they would have kept their SF salaries - they would have felt like they got a pretty sweet raise. On the flip side, Kansas doesn't offer anywhere near the culture or available activities.

They way they choose to handle this was pretty cool though, good for them!

This is a book teaches you how to build a Twitter like applications. According to the site it will eventually be accompanied by screencasts.

I do like screencast though. I say go for it but teach folks how to build a different application than the one in Rails Tutorial.

That is a good point. But certainly some of the folks PG observed had always user Macs as well.

It would be interesting to know how many people he had interviewed at the time he wrote the essay.

Q. Did you hear about the constipated mathematician? A. He worked it out with a pencil.

I choose No.

I'm interested in playing with one. But I really don't think I will buy one - perhaps my wife will though. ;-)

Have you considered Evernote? You can input text or take photos. Then tag them all to keep it organized.

That's really cool! I sometimes go on streaks of actual work and always knew I was missing some great stuff. Thanks.

Currently while developing a Rails app I'm using Notepad++ on my provided XP machine. And normally Pico when SSH'd in, making quick updates.

Because all of the necessities are covered? Death by comfort?

New comment by csuper in "Ask HN: Framework or no framework "

csuper — Thu, 07 Jan 2010 23:50:10 +0000

I think you should stick with the framework, at least until your requirements exceed the frameworks capabilities.

There is always a simpler solution that you can one off. But is it worth your time to reinvent the wheel?

Also, I'm curious - were you able to do the same thing in Python that you did in Scrapy because you tried Scrapy first?

New comment by csuper in "Poll: Tablet? Why?"

csuper — Thu, 07 Jan 2010 17:46:29 +0000

I don't see the appeal of a tablet. I can't think of a single reason to use one. I like my iPhone - it fills in the gaps enough for me. But I still prefer to be on an actual computer.

Tablets just seem odd to me. How do you hold it? Do you set it down on the desk and stare down at it? Are you going to prop it up? Will it have peripheral support?

Form and function wise I just don't get tablets. I don't seem them replacing MacBooks.
