If you do end up trying it out and hit any roadblocks, please don't hesitate to file an issue. I'd be very interested in hearing how it goes!
Re:Show HN: Heynote – A Dedicated Scratchpad for Developers on Friday December 22, 2023 @04:36PM (#38738965)
This is fantastic, thank you for making and sharing it?

Is there any chance of Heynote supporting Clojure syntax one day?

clojure.spec is explicitly not a type system:

Happy to see both my favorite editor and my favorite programming language hit the front page of Hacker News! FWIW, I responded to some of the points regarding Tutkain over at reddit[1].

Do you mean Fogus, or have I missed something?

The person who mentioned using the Cursive debugger is different than the person who mentioned using the REPL.

I see now, many thanks for the informative reply!

>the "DOM is your API" paradigm

What does that mean, exactly? Do you have any resources you could link to?

The variable isn't mutated, actually — it's rebound. See http://natescottwest.com/elixir-for-rubyists-part-2/, for example.
Re:Show HN: Ghostnote – Contextual notes and todo app on Thursday March 05, 2015 @07:26AM (#9150262)
I have the same problem with Sublime Text 3 — Ghostnote doesn't detect it at all. Detaching doesn't help.

It's not actually that JVM startup time is slow, it's Clojure startup time in particular. See:

I just wanted to thank you for ag. It's literally the most used command in my shell history and I consider it crucial to my work. So, thanks!

Or maybe XSLT?
Re:Sile, a typesetting system inspired by TeX and InDesign on Wednesday October 01, 2014 @05:27AM (#8393493)
I don't know, but I'm guessing the manual[1] is created with SILE?

Not disagreeing with your other points, but these days there is a Windows binary (https://atom.io/faq), too. On Linux you can build from source.

Hola Unblocker works, too.
Re:Quick tip for developers who use OS X on Wednesday January 15, 2014 @03:27PM (#7065900)
You can also use "cd -" to go back to the previous path:

  $ cd /
  $ pwd
  /
  $ cd /tmp
  $ pwd
  /tmp
  $ cd -
  $ pwd
  /
Not the same, of course, but still useful, I think.
Re:Libsass – C implementation of a Sass compiler on Tuesday November 26, 2013 @01:39AM (#6799553)
JFYI: The link to SassC on http://libsass.org is broken.
Quite a coincidence. I was seriously thinking that I could really use an application precisely like this earlier today, and here it is!

Love it!

Re:XPath is actually pretty useful once it stops being confusing on Tuesday November 05, 2013 @01:40AM (#6673579)
Just curious: what are the "bigger and better things" that have replaced XSLT? From what I can tell, it's still being used quite a lot, especially in the world of structured documentation. For something like transforming massive amounts of XML with a great amount of structural variety to another format, XSLT would certainly be my first choice.
And cue the comments where it says HN is just fine and nothing about it never ever needs to be changed and every change you could possibly make to it would just make it worse and you just don't know how to use your phone and so on...

FWIW, I'm partial to HackerWeb (http://cheeaun.github.io/hackerweb/) on the iPhone and http://hckrnews.com/ on the desktop myself.

Looks great! One suggestion, though: since you're detecting the user's location anyway, couldn't you automatically use Fahrenheit only for the US and Celsius for all other countries?
Really liking the website!
Re:Show HN: Updated Hacker News Chrome Extension on Tuesday March 12, 2013 @10:57AM (#5362203)
Chrome 25.0.1364.160 on OS X.

I think I also tried installing it on a Windows computer, too, though, and got the same error.

Re:Show HN: Updated Hacker News Chrome Extension on Monday March 11, 2013 @04:23AM (#5355499)
FWIW, when I try installing the extension, it says "Manifest file is invalid" and the installation fails.
