Diaspora's curse: They don't actually have a working product to show off -- or any product at all. This whole farce has been amazing. I can't believe anyone actually thinks they're going to produce -anything- that can actually be run or used.

"If you’re one of those hipster programmers who loves Clojure, Ruby, Scala, Erlang, or whatever, you probably deeply loathe Java and all of its giant configuration files and bloated APIs of AbstractFactoryFactoryInterfaces."
Can we just get a moratorium on usage of "hipster" now? Everybody's using it wrong.

YES I REALIZE THE IRONY HERE
I will admit HN is one of those rare sites with a pretty good signal to noise ratio in comments.

I love this. Absolutely love it. I've always kind of dismissed comments as mostly empty white noise on the internet, and have never figured out why so many CMS systems/Blogging software/Web apps/etc are so eager to add comments to EVERYTHING.
Give me the content, I can form my own thoughts on it, and if I actually feel like my thoughts are worthwhile for reading I can publish them myself.

I was kind of surprised that something so trivial required JQuery or Prototype. Really now?

even an experienced mechanic will tell you that you can never have too much reference material
knowing how a vehicle mechanically works is one thing, figuring out how a certain manufacturer implemented those mechanical principles is totally another

Boring? God I hope so. Classic MacOS had the right idea aesthetics-wise. Boring, clean, neutral grays. I'm paying attention to the applications, not the OS windows.

Oh cool. A dead platform jumps onto another dead platform. The concept of a modern Amiga has gotten beyond ridiculous at this point.

It'd be cool if you guys would figure out how to properly implement RSS
1. You should be including a LINK element pointing towards your RSS feed in the page's HEAD so RSS-hip user agents can pick up on it.
2. Serve your RSS feeds with a proper mimetype. text/xml instead of text/html.
