Waiting for the Google to release their collaboration API to allow real time collaboration. But yes right now you can share a file just like you would as a Google Document.

on: Ask HN: What do you think when you see Twitter bootstrap
I think about barfing because Bootstrap is over used so much.

on: Why don't my teachers improve themselves?
Ha ha! That's my degree Aerospace Engineer. But it was too boring working for huge aerospace corporations so I do programming now.

on: Why don't my teachers improve themselves?
Unless you go to a top university like MIT I doubt much will change. If it were me I'd quit and move to Bay Area and join or create a start-up.
I have a degree and it is definitely totally useless to me other than the prestige of the thing. Some employers look at it as a requirement, but if they do, it is probably a boring place to work.

on: What is the best language to learn for web dev?
Agreed. On the server side my vote is for Python. I think it is a better all purpose language. So if you have scientific, engineering, or mathematical parts of your app, there will be lots of libraries to help you out.
All though if I started out today with zero knowledge, I'd be tempted to be lazy and just learn Javascript on both the browser and server side with Node.js.

on: HTML and CSS Learning Tool Recommendations
Thanks for all the replies. I'm looking for something a little less geeky though. These are all great resources I could understand as a programmer, but I need to teach a designer HTML/CSS. I think "CSS: The Missing Manual" is more up the alley I'm looking for but is kind of long.

on: Ask HN: How to mitigate DNS provider issues?
If you use route53 aren't you still storing the nameservers at Namecheap in this case, thus, not eliminating the problem since they are still part of the route?

on: 1140px grid system. Time to scrap 960px?
I'd like to use fluid more but unfortunately for us I don't think it would ever work because my boss is too anal over appearance. It's hard not use absolute heights and widths with the designs he comes up with. I think 1140 to 960 fluid would be great thing to try though. Still gotta optimize for 960px so you look good on tablets and other smaller screens. I think trying to be fluid below 960px is just stupid. Right now mobile sites need to be fast and efficient and you can't speed things up enough by just changing your CSS, the underlying HTML must also be compact.
