Re:Keith Olbermann Thinks I'm an Idiot on Wednesday April 11, 2012 @05:20PM (#3829712)
At the bottom:

>I'll stop myself from commenting on the "state of the media" and such. It's cliché at this point to say that people like Keith Olbermann and the bloggers who first broke this story aren't interested in the truth, but instead their own aggrandizement. (Oops.)

and the next paragraph:

>The four of us shut down Bumba about a month later. Matt, Joe, and Aman, along with Jared Kopf, went on to start HomeRun. It was at this time, too, that Matt introduced me to Michael Preysman, a friend of his from CMU. Less than a year later Michael and I started Everlane.

fuck off

Just by observing, I think it goes like this:

    if linked_article.is_relevant_to_YC_company():
        goto front_page;
    elsif linked_article.is_negative_to_YC_company():
        linked_article.dead();

cool, so does this mean the month-long campaign 37s has been running on HN can come to an end? I prefer to be marketed to by only YC-backed startups.

I see the line between television and commercial blurring so much [more than it already is] that everything is grey. Shows wont exist anymore, there will just be "characters" with shows, movies, music albums, etc orbiting around them.

Not specific to the GNOME environment, but some people might want to check out dzen if they are interested in piping CLI commands to their desktop.

A file manager I have been writing in Vala:

Id like to add a "shelf" at some point, but the first priority is getting the details view on the right of the window fleshed out.

I know you cant speak on behalf on Intel, but pretty much the "is supported by the open source community. Its development is sponsored by Intel." on http://clutter-project.org still stands ?

> A javascript, DOM-based window manager would be a worthy project for someone with the skills to do so

You mean like GNOME shell?

A month or two back I started glueing XCB and spidermonkey together. The thought of DOM-based window management crossed my mind but I never saw the point of it. It makes sense in HTML where elements are nested inside one another, but in X, windows are seldomly nested - unless the application was designed that way. The heirarchy would be rather flat in a window manager.
