Are there any new alternatives to c9? I used codebox before they shut it down, and really liked it. I like the flexibility of having a full-blown Ubuntu system to use as I develop, but the browser overhead of the editors for these things almost makes it not worth it. C9 was decent, but not at all ideal. I'd love to see a simple, bare-bones "just type text" editor, paired with a bare-bones VPS that I could tinker with as I like.
Hello, I am a hacker that works for the NSA and you can believe me because I am telling the truth, obviously. I can confirm that the NSA hates all Americans, and are actually controlled by aliens from outer space, billions of light years away, and they've come to Earth because of our carbon-based lifeforms. Here is some personally identifying information so that the organization I belong to can kick my apartment open and waterboard me for weeks on end until I decide to bash my head against the wall on my own and end it, since I divulged their secrets and 'endangered' other Americans.
* I am a male
* my social security is 123 45 6789
* I live at 123 Obvious Bait Lane, Journalism, USA
This low-effort comment matches the low-effort comment above it! Wow! /s /s /s
I am sort of tired of these comments that piggyback off of sub-optimal comments without any sort of advice on how to contribute more effectively.
We don't need comments about these cases that are just "I agree with this" and we certainly don't need "Your comment was downvoted because it's bad"
If someone gets downvoted, they should be expected to figure out on their own what they did wrong by referring to the guidelines and comparing their contribution with what is expected (in a general sense) from HN commenters.
We are big boys, we can get along and have effective, meaningful, insightful discussions here.
No mention of ANSI standard efforts still. It blows my mind that literally ANYONE would bother with systems programming in a language with no standardized spec of some sort. Rust's 'whatever is in the repo is standard behavior' is the sort of perl nonsense that set them back for so many years.
I feel exactly the same way. If whatever group you belong to would condemn you for choices you make about your own personal lifestyle, maybe it's that group that needs to be condemned. Islam is a threat to the rest of the world.
Sure, but now we're past all that and people still come up with bullshit reasons that CSS SHOULDN'T be replaced when there is every reason to believe that we can do a better job now that we've suffered through 20 years of learning.
I am surprisingly okay with this. If this is indeed all that is being collected, then I am totally okay with that data being collected from time to time. I would like for my architecture and usage style to be represented, so that my workflow isn't made obsolete.
It's really easy to tell when people make these comments about Lisp with little to no knowledge about lisp, because they always revolve around "lisp without parens" as if that makes ANY sense at all.
Indenting lisp code is not a semantic feature of the parentheses, it's something lisp programmers use for convenience. Python indentation serves a completely different purpose, as indenting a line can completely change how a function operates.
Furthermore, "purism sucks" is probably just bait anyways.
