IIRC the Arcade came about a year after the original X360. I had one of the originals, chrome disc drive and 10GB HD (maybe that was usable space). ... Okay, looked it up and you're right, except it was the 'Core' model. Arcade was two full years after launch.

Difference: Premium cost only $100 more than the Core ($400 vs $300) but came with basically over $200 worth of upgrades incl. HDD, wireless controller, headset, and memory card. You also needed the HDD to play Xbox Live.

A fellow vim/dvorak user here. I started using ruby around three months ago and am only just starting to integrate that back into my regular vim workflow. RubyMine actually looks pretty useful if I'm ever tempted to step back outside my zen (vim) garden...

...and vBulleting, InvisionBoard, etc. (Not free, but that's what all the 'cool kids' had not-so-way-back...)

I'm very interested in trying this out. Besides the nostalgic kick of having dedicated forums come back the potential for moving forums forward is pretty great.

A few years ago when I was visiting Buffalo, NY, and Apple had just started making a 30" iMac, someone came in with one and a slew of peripherals and then promptly decided to set it all up on the milk/napkin/straw bar.

Sorry, I realized after posting that my phrasing was pretty bad. The current setup looks good for the sort of thing I do– I would pay for it (one time probably)– but if you then made it super easy to set up for multiple users, even if it was a simple shell script or some kind of interface, you could do some sort of tool-subscription (pay once or subscribe for updates). By webhosts I was thinking primarily of people like me who manage a couple servers and do everything server-side for our clients except plug in the fiber...

If you offered a license for web hosts to use this, I think I know a whole bunch of coders and designers who would gladly pay for a hackable IMAP client. Kickstarter isn't a bad idea, but you should also try polling people to find out if you could set up SaaS at the same time or some other scheme. There are many possibilities...

Am I the only one getting a stream of NetDB errors (with the occasional HTTP 500 or 502)? I guess I'll just have to wait until... whatever server it's trying to connect to is up and running. I haven't had a chance to install a single package yet.

Edit: Popping over to r/jailbreak confirms it, I guess it'll be a while before things calm down. I just hope I can get f.lux before I have to go to work.

If you enjoyed Meditations please keep a lookout for anything by Epictetus. Depending on the publisher titles may vary, but Discourses is common (iirc they were notes compiled from his many stories and teachings). You won't be disappointed.

I felt the same until I started using it. As boring as it sounds, just working and being easy enough for your grandparents to use is apparently enough to get people excited. The fact that it's been done (or tried) so many times before really just makes you appreciate it more.

Yeah, MS, Apple, etc. all should've had this figured out years ago and yet they didn't. So boo on them, but it's probably for the better because now we have Dropbox and you can use it on your Mac or in Windows, on your iPhone, Android, or whatever...

I'm curious, but what's your workflow re: Obj-C development? I only dabble, and for me the vim-xcode bindings are enough but mainly because I don't find myself on the command line much during an XCode session. The built-in shortcuts are all easy enough so that I don't have to use the mouse much either except to use interface builder.

Second, can you share a little on your #4? Aside from the aforementioned Obj-C dabbling, I use vim for almost everything. There are so many awesome plugins that do just about everything I could ask for and therefore I have yet to do any plugin writing myself. Having seen the usual complaints around VimL, what's the deal with external scripting support? I compiled with +python and +ruby since that's what I'm familiar with for plugins, scripts, etc. and a few plugins I have did require one or the other but are there any downsides? Most of t-pope's plugins appear to be straight VimL which makes me wonder.

Apologies for being an idiot, but I'd certainly appreciate some enlightenment.

Singularity Amnesia?

So, tin foil hoodies? Or maybe chain mail will come back in style?

I haven't encountered one of these yet, but I'd actually be willing to go through if I had some sort of metallic pre-wash all over my clothes.

On the one hand, there's a lot of unique things you could learn as an urban planner by spending all of your working days driving a cab. On the other, that's not really a field you want to get behind in (unless you want to teach, I guess).

MacConnection has them for $300 off since December if you go through the link on AppleInsider. That being said, I think it'd be better if flash sales and the like weren't posted to HN.

Hey, this looks handy! I just wrote something kinda similar as part of an ad-hoc UI layer that just had to be done in HTML/JS. At first I was horrified, but by a couple hundred lines in I realized how nice it would feel to finally tame those meager input boxes into full on forces of good. ;)
