Recently, I found an interesting Wiki/CMS/Database hybrid called Wagn, where the most important unit of information is the 'Card'. That terminology immediately made me think of Hypercard. As expected, there is some "Hypercard-ness" in that application.
Do you know of other web applications/frameworks with that "Hypercard-ness" thing, or if its successor still must be invented?
Note: I insist on web applications because I already know the desktop ones.
Check out Runtime Revolution at http://www.runrev.com they have a language/IDE that is the spiritual successor to HyperCard. They also have a product in beta called RevWeb which is a plugin not unlike Flash that is able to execute stacks.
Now more on the web framework front, checkout Rodeo at http://alltiera.com/ which is a HyperCard like web application that generates HTML/CSS/JS stuff for you.
I am a customer of Runtime Revolution but I haven't used Rodeo so I can only help with building web applications using RevTalk (like HyperTalk) and not with Rodeo.
There was http://tilestack.com for a while. Sadly it closed down again. It even imported HyperCard stacks.
I have found that quote from Dan Ingalls in the book "Coders At Work" (p.382):
"A decade or two ago there was Hypercard [...] It's really strange that that whole experience didn't naturally go right into the web. I think there's still a role to be filled there with tools as simple as HyperCard and as immediate as the web. It would be cool if it went that way.".
If one of the inventor of Smalltalk is asking that question too, I'm almost sure that there is no valid answers...
Anyone interested in inventing that future?
Google's AppEngine is being called the web Hypercard.

I'm new to Nix and quite excited about it (I've been using it so far for Haskell).
I'm planning to use it to deploy Php applications. However, how Nix deals with
Php packages (installed normally or with pear).
Working with PHP webapps generally requires several running services (php-fpm, httpd, mysqld, redis, etc). The answer depends on how you manage the services -- which, in turn, depends on whether you use:
(a) The full NixOS: NixOS provides a service-management layer - you edit a config file, twiddle some flags, and turn on the services. I haven't done this myself, and I think it needs a more pointed tutorial for folks coming from a PHP webdev background, but the system does exist.
(b) The crossplatform nix/nixpkgs: There does not appear to be a canonical service-management option here. nix basically just gives some binaries (php-fpm, mysqld, etc) which you can launch yourself. It's somewhat daunting for typical PHP developer.
Full disclosure: To try to improve the situation for crossplatform nix+PHP, I've written an example project locolamp. It won't help much with learning NixOS, but it may help get your toes wet with nix+php in cross-platform usage. See:
https://github.com/totten/locolamp
After spending a week trying to configure a LAMP platform and giving up (mainly because I couldn't make PHP send emails), I concluded that Nix is not ready for developping easily PHP application in production.

Is it possible to compile iGraph, graph layout library for iOS?
I haven't. I don't know anybody who has. But I've also never heard of it before.
The website claims it is written in C/C++, so in theory you should be able to get it running on iOS. You may need to make some modifications.
Looking more closely at the documentation, it appears to be a plain C API (even better!) so it should be fairly easy to compile for iOS. You will probably have to edit the Makefiles to have it cross-compile for ARM (instead of Intel).
However, the source code is published under the GNU GPL. There are clauses in the GPL that conflict with clauses in the Apple Developer Program Agreement (I forget the specifics but it should be easy enough to research). This means that if you got it working in an app, you couldn't put it on the App Store without either Apple or the iGraph developers offering you different terms.
Not sure about iGraph, but I've been thinking of trying Core Plot.
It's a graph plotting 3rd-party iOS framework.
Not a lot of documentation, but you can see some apps that already use it if you browse their site.
Not sure why you got voted down. Happens.
Edit:
Oh, in that case, this question might help: https://stackoverflow.com/a/5074186/1126783

Google Code Search has been incredibly valuable to me as a developer - I use it a couple times a week to see how other developers have used (usually poorly documented) APIs. It's also convenient to see the internals of some of those APIs, or to find which API corresponds to the functionality you want (it's a great resource for Android in particular -- give it some of the text you see on screen, and it'll usually find the implementing class).
Now that Google shutting down code search as of January 15, 2012, are there any good replacements?
I have reviewed the following sites
The good
Krugle
searchcode
The broken or unsuitable
Antepedia (site is only a "We'll be back soon" page because Antepedia has been acquired)
The dead
Koders (discontinued)
SymbolHound Code Search
GrepCode (only Java)
SymbolHound (generic search engine, not just code)
Codefetch (unreachable as of 2016-08-23)
Codase (discontinued)
When I originally did the review, Koders turned out to be the winner for my purposes, but I really liked the user interface and features of SymbolHound Code Search better. The only problem with SymbolHound was the small number of sites it has indexed. The search[code] engine was also promising at that time.
Many of the sites I've reviewed have since been discontinued completely or have disabled their code search functionality. Krugle and search[code] seem to be chugging along, and GrepCode is good if you live in the Java world.
Take a look at these:
searchcode
krugle
Another one to consider is http://searchcode.com/ It supports regex search as Google Code search does. For example,
http://searchco.de/?q=/[cb]at/
http://searchco.de/?q=/a{2,3}/
http://searchco.de/?q=/^import/
http://searchco.de/?q=/atoi/%20ext:c
http://searchco.de/?q=/dll$/
Are all valid searches.
There is http://opensearch.krugle.org

I'm just about to rewrite my personal site/blog using ASP.NET 4/MVC. I usually use my private Subversion server for version control, but for this project I'm intending to use Git/GitHub —I've been using Git more and more recently and prefer the way it works. I'd also like to make my code open-source in case anyone else wants to use it to learn from.
My question is this: if I make the source code of my personal site publicly available on GitHub, am I exposing myself to an increased risk of security breaches?
I'm not concerned about intellectual property here, just about security—whatever code I write will be fairly basic anyway.
I realise that a) the open-source community leans very much toward the white-hat and b) my tiny web site is not by any means a worthwhile target.
Having said that, if I'm publishing my code and I make a mistake which results in a security hole (and I'm positive that at some stage I will, nobody's perfect), it only takes one malicious person to exploit it rather than letting me know and I'm screwed, aren't I?.
If you open-source it, it has a higher chance of being hacked, but you have a much higher chance of being told about it. If you don't, you may not get told about it if it happens.

What issues or gotchas will I run into if I develop web applications in Lua; is there anything I should be aware of before starting?
Any experience with developing Lua web applications?
The web application framework based on Lua that gets a lot of discussion in the Lua community is the Kepler project. The Kepler team provides integration with web servers (especially Apache), a web server of their own, useful modules, and a working MVC application framework called Orbit.
Several other projects work with or on top of Kepler's foundation. A prominent one that demonstrates that Kepler can be used for real work is Sputnik, a very flexible and extensible CMS that functions as a Wiki out of the box but which can be extended to do many other things.
Speaking from personal experience, I built a control interface for an embedded system using Kepler's Lua Pages to render and process the forms and reports without much hassle as only my second or third real Lua project. That system is still in use and I would do it again.
take a look at http://openresty.com/ (nginx and lua/luajit, async)
Go ahead and give it a shot! Lua is a very nice language.
Another MVC framework based on Lua is also Luci.
Interesting concept. I think one of the things you need to consider is which webserver do you plan to use? I think the webserver support for Lua would be flaky at best, no offense to anyone involved but its just not a common web platform.
With that said, however, the Lua Libraries And Bindings lists quite a few components that you could seemingly leverage for your efforts. I looked the list over and all things common to the web are there: databases, regex, network, zip, crypto, xml, images, etc. There's even a couple of web frameworks, so perhaps this is less rare than I thought?
