This is good stuff :) Honestly, I am having a lot of fun just using org mode files as prompts and eventually output for a Claude Code instance in vterm. All these files get saved with the output and magit is of course amazing, just good affordances and history keeping.

Always been a fan of Harper's for a more left/artistic perspective.

Interesting talk by Hundred Rabbits where they discuss how their lives and development practices have changed since living on a sailboat.

I don't think it's that bad. As with any service, depends what your the user is into. Do the lawmakers prefer television? I don't think that is better. No ads on Youtubekids, aside from the sponsored stuff. That's a plus.

Interestingly, one place where this race to the bottom is NOT present is in iPad music apps, synths and DAWs. Prices range from 10 to 50, and the apps are polished.

I have good luck with VirtuaWin in terms of a better window manager.

You should set your keymap to Emacs then, its pretty close, and very cool.

New comment by pandakar in "Ask HN: Who is hiring? (August 2013)"

pandakar — Thu, 01 Aug 2013 13:33:48 +0000

IntraSee http://intrasee.com (50% remote, 50% travel)

Not your typical enterprise shop. We're looking for North American web developers or PeopleSoft developers who are looking to push the platform. We work with Fortune 500 companies and some big name higher ed institutions alike, using copious amounts of HTML/CSS/Javascript to create beautiful, usable PeopleSoft implementations. We were recently profiled by the PeopleSoft blog. Competitive salary, smart co-workers, great projects. If interested, shoot over a resume to careers@intrasee.com. (Note that you don't have to have PeopleSoft experience, we're willing to train great devs.) Thanks.

Yeah, I was referring to those long haul airplane rides more than anything else.

The Air is a somewhat paradoxical machine in that it is extremely portable and therefore perfect for travel, which is when you often lose the data connection and therefore need more power to run VMs! You, however, don't have that problem, if indeed you are most often working from home. In the case you describe, definitely go for the Air, or wait a few months to see if the Air gets a retina screen. I have an air, and it is difficult to consider going back to anything even slightly bulkier.

Ask HN: Your thoughts on the proliferation of dynamic infographics this election

pandakar — Wed, 07 Nov 2012 04:30:35 +0000

It seems you can't be a major media outlet without several JS-based live-data infographics. I don't mind per se, but I was wondering if any of you had any insights on this. Where is this coming from, since when did this become a necessity?

I tried airvpn for a month, had a very good experience, and they are explicit about following EU privacy rules.

Along with this, does anyone use OpenBravoERP? Intriguingly, it has always been one of the top SourceForge projects.
