This. I agree that there is an element of subjectivity to it (Is Cambridge better than Oxford?), but I think it is simply impossible to successfully defend the claim that (as an example) The University of Phoenix has made more contributions

Yeah it does pull from cache, but I didn't have the packaged cached yet. As for the docs, it is somewhat crazy to think how much documentation is hosted by GitHub these days...

I started the HS Hackers group in September — it's been an incredible ride seeing it grow from 12 high schoolers at PennApps 2013f to a 1,000+ member strong Facebook community. If you're a high schooler and you're reading thi

It's extremely relevant. It answers the most basic question about the tragedy: motive. This wasn't an isolated incident committed by a rogue individual. It was done by an organized militant terrorist organization, whose primary go

Unless I'm sorely mistaken, that's very wrong. Does Chrome have in-REPL stack traces? An eyedropper tool? Multiple cursor support? Sure, the cURL copy thing and style support in the console were first implemented in WebKit (not Ch

I disagree -- I don't think either of those things were major factors contributing to the success of 2048. The how would either of those facts have changed the basic viral mechanism of the game -- click this link and play? It didn&#x27

Wow. That felt very powerful to me, and well written. Predictably, it is causing me to reflect on my own life. I'm sitting up in my bed, typing on my smartphone at 1:39 am, exploring the feeling that I have no idea what I'm figh

This is exactly me -- ~2TB of 3TB storage full, similar content to you. The difference is that I store all that stuff on a RAIDed NAS device and stream it over wifi when I need it. I don't back it up, but it is RAIDed with 1-disk fau

I have a NAS with 3TB of RAID storage. When iCloud automatic backup complains that my phone is running low, I download the camera roll to there. If I'm making a home movie, I'll just copy the files to the SDD temporarily. I have 3

I'm not using his PPA, but the reason you're getting those errors is because his PPA only has builds for saucy and trusty, and you're using raring. Easiest thing to do would be to ask him to add a build target for raring.

This was a helpful and informative writeup, but it hasn't really convinced me that I should use promises. I currently use use callbacks and caolan/async on node.js, using in-place callbacks where simple and async methods where thi

Interestingly, I had the opposite reaction. I plan on running node.js applications on Linode, and as node cannot automatically take advantage of multiple cores (and even manually the support is experimental), the announcement of vertically

Honestly, my perception of difficult for 2048 clones is really skewed. After wasting hours playing it when it first came out, I'm now good enough at it that I can reliably get 2048 in one go every time I play. I've even gotten to

Very clever remix! I think it's too easy by default though --beat it on the first try without any issue. Maybe increase the "win" element to 512?

No, it's because writing software in C++ is like riding your bike in the middle lane of a highway with no helmet on. If you're really really careful, it can work fine, and your trip will be efficient and productive. But it's

Seems like it'd be pretty trivial to circumvent that. Just have your botnet do a few regular old requests to the network a few days before launching. That way the IPs of the botnet members get white listed. For a website of GitHub&#x27

Honestly, I think you're taking "lack of marked enthusiasm" as "dismissive tone". It's barely 5 sentences... I think calling it "pitiful journalism" is a stretch, mostly because calling it journalism

well, it looks like you need to use GitHub oauth to sign into it, and doing so currently spits you out here: https://atom.io/nope So I think we sit tight for now, though it looks like a release is imminent.
