FWIW MongoDB fixed[1] this last year in their WiredTiger storage engine.

This is just another front for slimy estate agents.

Hi Ciudilo, I'm Nick from Movebubble. I understand why you'd be sceptical about the app simply taking estate agent properties and passing them along to users. But our model is renter first. We don't make any money from agents. We work very hard to make sure we deal with agents that offer a good service for renters. We are also continually monitoring property listings to help ensure they are good quality and of a certain standard.

So where does the money come from? The tenants?

This TechCrunch and the app was presented at a TC disrupt event. You can't expect criticism from them.

Could not easily find what version GWT is on now and OMG those showcases look like they are from previous century.

During last few month Google has shown its true face and it is not pretty. It is very clear now that they are under the impression that there are no viable alternatives to their services. My main reason for moving off Gmail is a need for clear relationship with my provider. I want to pay for the services I receive in order to be able to complain when something goes wrong or when there is something I don't like. I don't want 'but it is free...' argument showed in my face when new design is forces upon me, email is down for a whole day or there are drastic changes to privacy policy.

If you are looking for Gmail replacement definitely try out fastmail.fm

The 30% applies to all in-app purchases, and attempting to circumvent IAP is against Apple's guidelines.

This seems to be very similar to autojump what was featured on HN about two weeks ago.

Autojump seems to be much slicker IMHO.

The only similarity I see is that they translate basenames to full paths. However, autojump only does this with 'cd' while lightning does this with _any_ command. Autojump works by analyzing your command history while lightning lets users control their basenames with shell globs. If lightning is similar to autojump, then I guess other smart-cd projects are as well: http://github.com/rupa/j2 and http://www.skamphausen.de/cgi-bin/ska/CDargs

You need to add following lines into your .bash_profile and restart Terminal.app.

    # Get the aliases and functions
    if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then
      . ~/.bashrc
    fi

I belive it is using NetBeans platform itself.
