I'm generally a big fan of film scores so whenever Hans Zimmer does something new I'm always excited to hear it. Otherwise new and relatively unknown artists are normally featured in TV shows which is another good way to find decent music.

I'm using gmail with my own domain at the moment but given the state of CISPA and the fear of being locked out my account for good, I think I'll be kicking off my own hosting solution soon. The idea will be to build something fairly simple

Leave the laptop, smartphone and tablet in the other room when you go to bed. Upon waking create a different habit to adopt. Make coffee, brush your teeth, take a shower. Anything that stops you from checking email.

Thanks for telling us about your dad. I lost my dad a year ago and this story reminds me a lot of his work ethic and his commitment to providing for his family.

I have also been a loyal BE customer for many years. Its sad to see this happen as the service is likely to suffer because of it. Time to find a new ISP.

Google Glass is the next step in the evolution of technology. It is the next generation of mobile technology, a stepping stone from cell phones. There was a time when the idea of carrying around a phone seemed ludicrous, now we all have one

I gave up on bookmarks. They just pile up and I never go back to read anything. Search is so powerful that within a few keywords and filters I can find exactly what I'm looking for without the need to store it.

Agreed, I have no idea what it does when coming to the home page which makes me want to leave. Maybe a couple of sentences would help with context.

Isn't levels of abstraction the way technology works? Look at the evolution of the computer and programming languages. What is the alternative? Buy hardware, rent colo space and manage your own machines that die in the middle of the night?

If its a fileserver pair that go down and they are serving a subset of repos then what do you do? Well you could keep serving all the other repos and start a recovery process, whatever that may be. Perhaps redirect the requests for those re

Why does it matter that AWS is 99.95%? "Cloud" based services like AWS and AppEngine have more relaxed SLAs. GitHub is not a cloud service, its a centralized version control repository. And the 4 9s, well that's just something I've always s

GitHub as a sysadmin/system engineer I feel your pain, I understand it completely and know the horrors of failures leading into multi-hour recovery. That said, you need to do better. This is a heavily relied upon resource for the open sourc
