What makes DDOSes different from black mold? Both are expected risks and should be mitigated. Yeah, there are sentient actors behind the DDOS, but GitHub has to deal with it at the level of their infrastructure either way.

You misread the article. There are open redirectors on .gov domains (like a naive hit-counter), the shortener just goes .gov -> .gov. Now the shortener blacklists the open redirects as short link targets.

Those slides gave me a headache, so I'll just point out for the benefit of everyone that there is a README, and that it's some form of replication via AMQP queues.

A REPL is extremely useful for learning, debugging (instead of using print statements, embed an interpreter to see exactly what is going wrong — IPython's one-line embed() for example), sketching (embed into an incomplete part of your progr

Sure, but I think readability and ease of editing should trump purity here (and I'm an OCaml user).

I could agree if keywords were replaced by syntax, but I didn't get that impression from the release notes.

Everything I do is on the master branch, because this branch represents the focus of my attention. If there's stuff I'm unsure about I feature flip whenever possible, and if I must do large scale refactoring it happens on the main branch so

It will hurt some consumers if they change nothing, but cheap oil is not a right, and being dependent on it now or in the future should be discouraged for good reason (mostly because a lasting ecological catastrophe is worse than diminished

Again, betaworks paid 500K for domain, code (which they're throwing away), and data (and I'm not optimistic that they'll keep anything but the user accounts). What's left of the team went to WaPo, and LinkedIn bought some bullshit feature p

I don't think money motivates her exactly, but being paid less than the next CEO guy would demotivate her (yes, it comes to the same thing and no, her needing less won't force her to pay more taxes). Pecking order in the peer group matters

Please, no. Don't try to make us feel superior by disparaging the other aggregator. Even if there was a competition, blanket statements on a community would not impress.

Re the low profile: regularly paying a large media group for ad space in exchange for no bad publicity would make sense to these companies. Large groups buy unprofitable newspapers for similar reasons.

Oil is more scarce and useful than money, it's hard to see what would make extraction unprofitable. A carbon tax would mostly disincentive wasteful consumers. I wonder if anything could prevent exploitation of shale gas with a really low ER

The journalist let social media brand consultants write about half of the article, of course they would suggest escalating. Shell raising public awareness of shills would be an awesome move.

Their products are usable and uncluttered. I have reservations about the new unified look (too much padding in horizontal stripes one can't scroll, trying to displace browser chrome), but I've been very happy with the previous, “designed by

It's the nature of venture capital: shower founders with money, now they're burning through it and they are in your debt. Either they find a way to make it big, or the startup is driven to the ground.

"redesign" here means something more radical. Sponsored stories from partnered news outlets got auto-pushed to the front page, hand-made tweaks to the secret-sauce algorithm were used to suppress a very noticeable user protest (links to out
