This makes me so sad, it makes me wonder why the National Association of the Deaf doesn't try to encourage recruiting volunteers to the association to help with closed captioning. With this litigation I feel they're only alienating those that can actually help their cause.

Rather worrying when a popular software package site gets hacked like this, they could have easily kept the original site up but just replaced the binary download and file hash and nobody would really know.

Visual Studio for C#/.NET work (usually webapis)

Sublime Text for Javascript and other general text editing

Our whole team generally uses these editors, though they have to use VS, they are free to use anything other than Sublime for JS stuff - they still prefer it though

I still have Notepad++ hanging around from before I started using Sublime but will no longer feature on my next workstation builds.

I like this interface over the current one. The only issue I had with it is not having millisecond steps to create a decent loop. I also wasn't getting a thumbnail preview in the black box when seeking the video.

Nice useful tool.

Can anyone confirm whether this is a portal 'in the cloud' or if it's simply a web server hosted on the Squink itself?

Very cool project, I wonder if future iterations by competitors will drive the cost down.

Knowing nothing at all about investing, this looks pretty awesome. I wish they could provide a global service, being outside of the US.

What are the limitations of using a platform like this to buy shares and what would the limitations be on their side to be US only?

The eventual goal is not just as a meal replacement but a full diet replacement that eventually won't need to leverage crops, for areas with no arable land.

Most meal replacement shakes I've seen (not including those used in the medical industry) aren't suitable to replace your entire diet with and are generally very expensive per meal because of this. Most also warn against using the product to replace every meal with.

I think it's very good to have a mainstream product like this that attempts to cover 100% of the suggested daily intake, simply to bring into debate what the daily intake should really consist of? And if we can achieve it in countries that are too far from supply of actual crops.

Looking at the Cordova Platform Support[1], barely any features are supported on Firefox OS - does anyone know why?

Odd coincidence that I was just watching a video on TempleOS today. I had heard about Terry Davis and TempleOS previously and his God-worshipping operating system - but had never seen it in action.

This video gives you a glimpse into what he is like and what he has achieved on his quest to build the operating system for God: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EViG0Q4lTeA

Very, very bizarre yet mildly interesting. I was surprised to read he only ever runs it in VMWare - I thought perhaps he was just running it on a very specific set of hardware.

FTA: "I still haven’t forgiven Microsoft for their countless misdeeds so Asp/C#/F# are all right out. That may be shooting myself in the foot here (cut off my nose to spite my face), but contributing to this decision is that I work exclusively with linux (both on desktops, laptops and servers) so the MS ecosystem has become totally unfamiliar to me and I don’t like running windows on servers (though, of course there are some workarounds possible here and Mono is quite good). So, the L in my LAMP is firmly established. And besides, I don’t have a lawyer on the payroll to make sure that my licenses are all read, ok’d and acceptable."

I really think the author is missing out here - for the sake of just sticking with what they know and not wanting to do any actual research, it's impossible to come up with an actual objective choice. So misinformed, I get that .NET/C# development is not everybody's cup of tea but I think it's crazy to title an article "Choosing a Web Framework/Language Combo for the Next Decade" without even evaluating an extremely popular option due to simple disinterest. The lawyer comment is just irrational fear (and I get is probably meant to be a bit of a gibe towards Microsoft's licensing schemes), unless you're writing something completely from scratch, you need to be aware of the licenses of ANY library/framework you depend on, even if they're free.

"I'm not so different .. It's just that .."

You include yourself and then exclude yourself in the very next sentence.

I know you're excited and eager to share what you feel has empowered & enlightened you but you shouldn't take it to heart when not everyone else is on the same wavelength.

It's nice to advocate healthy living but I really think you're looking too much into the reason why people may not have found your video particularly interesting. Though you raise a discussion on a topic that may be worth exploring, all you've done is stereotype an entire community - which you yourself are an active participant.

Keep in mind, this is a tech community - people that want better living & health advice will seek it out.

This is becoming an increasingly common and frustrating thing for products posted here to HN.

How did this product even get to the front page when it's almost impossible to actually tell what it is or the problems it solves?

I scrolled down past the screenshot expecting to read an introduction about it and now we're suddenly talking about StyleKits??? Huh?

E: Quite ironic that the URI path is /intro and the main header "Introducing PaintCode 2", when the page does everything except introduce the product.

Having not found much of anything, we're going to roll our own gateway. It seems to be the only way and extremely cost effective. Probably just using some variation of Android SMS gateway software.

Sitting here thinking the same thing ..

Can't say I've ever had performance issues or even a moments downtime whilst using gmail since it was launched.

Is a paid vs. free solution even comparable?

It's also a bit weird to compare the requests made on initial load considering these web pages are arguably meant to be kept open- but regardless, shouldn't the browser be caching these?

I think a more fair & thorough comparison would be to investigate what gmail has that other solutions don't by introducing the larger initial overhead. I'm guessing a lot of cross platform compatibility code and plenty of code to integrate to Google's other services.

In which case, I would say if you are concerned about the initial page load and having more responsive interface (once again, no complaints here) and don't need integration to Google's ecosystem, you may not be the target customer for gmail. Which is okay.

This doesn't appear to do anything for me on my iPad, is this an iPhone only thing?

This is great for me as a developer for an internal-use website that primarily targets tablets.

Knockout is so, so good.

I just wish it had proper API documentation. There are no real docs, only examples/tutorials, this can be quite frustrating.

If you've never used data bindings in HTML/JS, you HAVE to give this a try.

If you're still using jQuery & other manual event handlers to change the state of your UI, you GOTTA try it!

This is quite awesome - Visual Studio support would rock!
