But if you zoom all the way into the Hacker News image it doesn't implement anti-aliasing! Lol, that was my favorite complaint on this article; talk about digging for an excuse.
That's a legitimate complaint. The text was anti-aliased in the first image, but it was only done on a whole-pixel basis. Adding a background color apparently convinces chrome to switch to subpixel antialiasing.
Whole pixel anti-aliasing looks bad and is inconsistent: both with other parts of Chrome, and with the rest of the broader operating system.
Actually, that was on the New Tab page, not on Hacker News itself... And it was pointed out that it's easily fixable, and they haven't done it. They actually tried to anti-alias it, but failed to give it a background color, so it doesn't work correctly.
It's a python script, you will need to download code, or clone git repository to get it. Then run "python wecomp.py -h" to get some info about how to use it.
Sure. But for the power user, for the full-time developer, there's no point in going for something like Kod. Learning vim or emacs is actually not that hard.
As Rasmus points out in this blog post, he's aiming for a different crowd: people for whom programming is a secondary activity.
I initially read this as "people who use Linux are odd" and had a much needed chuckle. After reading it's descendants I don't think that's how you meant it, but thanks, nonetheless.

Actually there are a couple of free alternatives. Previously I've been at zoneedit.com, which worked pretty nice. I can't even remember why I switched.
Google also offers public DNS[1] as well as a wide range of free service providers when you search for them[2].
