So Justin.tv was started, it ran for a while. People realized that it wasn't going as well as they wanted and they weren't going to be able to build it as far as they want. So they started a couple of internal projects of potentia

Those there companies are all the same company. Also while Kyle was a cofounder of Justin.tv he wasn't actually part of it until a little bit in when they needed someone to figure out the camera.

You are right there is always something missing. I've gotten frustrated because I couldn't watch the Rugby World Cup, or various other events on it. But at the end of the day for 90% of what I want to watch, movies and tv from iTu

I had a mac mini with a wireless keyboard and mouse. I then switched to an Apple TV a while ago. The Apple TV is imho far superior. I don't have worry about the machine being turned off. I don't have to use a clunky mouse and keyb

ctrl+] will act as escape in any vim out there. At least that I've encountered. Having caps as ctrl makes it really easy to hit.

My understanding is not that they have said that the language is "done", but that the 1.0 branch is stable and won't get any new major language features. At somepoint they will start rolling out 2.0 and it will have new featu

Apple has actually done a really good job of pushing IPv6. For years their devices have supported it from their routers to their laptops. Between Apple and Comcast's recent IPv6 turnup I'm actually on IPv6 by default.

`go get` and `godep` have been excellent for us. It does everything we need it to and have had no issues. It has had far less issues than bundler, npm, etc.
