Always snopes before you post! https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/patrisse-cullors-topanga-h... The "mansion" is a 3br 2ba, real estate is just kind of expensive in LA. My Bay Area home is actually worth more

At one point, the web and API team were a little more intermeshed, but this had the unfortunate side effect that the web was a de-facto a "privileged" client, while the other clients were like second-class citizens. These days, the Rails ap

It's a nice, pithy answer to give, and in general you shouldn't rewrite a backend "just cause". However, Wunderlist's backend was built with the intention of being a bit of a prototype, and the skills on the team are vastly different from w

Unless you said something like "I'd love to see you, but I don't have the energy to go out or make big plans", they might have thought the reason you weren't making plans with them was that you didn't want to see them . An adage I really

Yeah, I think people may be overthinking this, although there's something to be said for "two great tastes that taste great together". It's kind of silly, but I actually wrote a "git dropbox" command to just stuff a bare repo of what I'm do

Ditto this - the idea of having the bare repo in Dropbox, but having my frequently-changing stuff (especially, as you point out, with branch changes) locally seems to me to be the sanest alternative. I hacked together a quick script to faci

Hey, that's really cool! Way better than mine. I like the simplicity of the center part, but the polka dots on the edge are killing me. But if you like them, don't change it just because I don't like 'em, design by committee never goes well

I don't really have to make that clear, because I'm the target market ;-) No, but seriously: it's a tool I wrote for myself (and other people can use it if they like) - I've optimized for the only case I actually know well, which is What I

Yeah, in practice I always run this in its own tab, so it's not a thing that has ever bothered me. I put that in because it did bother me that I couldn't Cmd-(L+C) to get a paste-able URL to show other people. In the long run, I might cha

Yeah, I wrote this as my own tool for similar reasons (actually I just wanted to use it locally, http://domainzomg.com/ is for when I'm not on my own computer and for friends who want to use it). But it's soooo much faster if you run it l

I'm tempted to actually do a quick test, but I think it probably comes down to something like whether you're closer to the duostack servers or the instantdomainsearch servers. The reason this is with WebSockets isn't because I needed the sp

Semi-hidden feature: "red/black trees" -> "redtrees.com", "blacktrees.com", "red-trees.com", "red-tre.es", ... Also, http://domainzomg.com/somedomainname should work if you just want to fire off a quick query. Caveat: Domainzomg is re
