It's still way too Ruby heavy to be a good source of information. However, since Ruby projects are overwhelmingly (almost exclusively) hosted on Github, excluding it suggests that Ruby is underrepresented.

I didn't downvote you, but I'll point out that the actual percentage decline for Ruby is very small (-0.35%), less than the declines of Python, Java, C++ and Javascript, and almost the same as PHP. The percentage rise of Objective-C (2.15%)

Interesting. Python has a bigger drop in percentage, second only to VB.

First of all, the HTML5 documents look great. However, how do you deal with font licensing? You are using @font-face, but this is still not permitted for many commercial fonts, even if they allow embedding in PDF.

We still expect him to get his facts right. After all, we love the Stewart & Colbert for exposing the BS of others, not generating new BS themselves.

I liked the part where you called it a "stupid debate" and said "You cannot even have this argument" and then wrote a long post doing exactly what you criticized. Also, "[x] is not art" statements are a tremendous bore.

Why wouldn't you just generate a new key pair?

by danieldon 16y ago
I feel like I'm missing something here. Why would someone copy around a single private key instead of generating a new key pair for each user@host?

Coates is pointing out that there are good reasons to suspect strong sample bias. If that was all he did then there wouldn't be a problem, but it wasn't. He also made unsubstantiated, anecdotal claims, and he presented the who

I think that anyone who speculates and makes unsubstantiated claims about the dating market as a whole needs to show that their speculation and claims are representative of the dating market as a whole, or really representative of anything
