Using this and Readability yield great results.

I find that Readability decides on the wrong bit of content sometimes. So use Printliminator's Option-Click to select what you want to keep and then run Readability to format it nicely.

It's so sad that we can still say "at least it's not as bad as Canada!"

We're becoming an embarrassment, but at least people like Michael Geist are fighting:

Re:Lift 1.0 released on Friday February 27, 2009 @09:34AM (#497216)
There is one in the Downloads section: http://github.com/tjweir/liftbook/downloads

I'll build a more recent one asap.

There's no nightly, sorry :(

Re:Lift 1.0 released on Thursday February 26, 2009 @08:25PM (#496699)
If you're looking to get into Lift Development, three of us (Derek, Marius and I) are writing a book.

You can grab the source here: http://github.com/tjweir/liftbook/tree/master

Re:Ask HN: Emacs users on OS X, what's your setup? on Wednesday February 04, 2009 @11:39AM (#465959)
Here are two setup descriptions from Clojure guys: http://paulbarry.com/articles/2008/07/02/getting-started-wit...

http://bc.tech.coop/blog/081205.html

They are skewed to Clojure development, but you may be able to pick out a few tips.

"No, actually, I can't think of any way they're like Google whatsoever. Sorry."

You're right, they aren't like Google. Currently at least. From the quote he wants to become more like Google and foster a better community.

You're being a bit harsh.

While this is an old link, it's still very handy.

Two others in terms of Vim colorschemes are, the Scheme Editor: http://yukihiro.nakadaira.googlepages.com/vim-color.html

And CSApprox, which allows gvim colorschemes to work in terminals: http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=2390

I've asked to be reminded but I've heard nothing so far.

You could run a design competition at 99designs.com.

You would then follow-up with the winner if you needed any extra work.

Re:Ask HN: How do you stay healthy? on Friday June 27, 2008 @07:06AM (#229645)
I've been CrossFitting for just over a year. My body fat % dropped from 22% to currently 11-12%.

So for me, it's CrossFit + Zone macro-nutrient balance + Paleo.

I agree, charging even for non-commercial use is a bit disappointing.
Re:Ask HN: good place to store code online? on Tuesday May 27, 2008 @08:30AM (#200910)
I use github for public and SVNrepository for private repos. SVNrepo recently added git, so that's awesome.
