Ouch. Well, I'm not sure if you're at fault here as much as the Github API itself that bears a lot of the blame (I don't understand why kitchen sink notifications are really necessary for everything). Throttling the event rat

Those kinds of people are the worst. I've seen a few "do their thing" and it's not a pretty sight. Not only can they kill projects, they spread misery to those around them, almost like a cancer. It's up to managemen

I don't think such a creature really exists albeit there are personalities that match the label (with quality of work that's inversely proportional). In fact, I've seen the label implied toward people who turns out not to pro

That's interesting. Considering the similarity, I wonder if Markdown was influenced in part or whole by MakeDoc.

I think WP has a lot of historical reasons for sticking with an HTML based WYSIWYG. Also, they've spent a lot of time and effort customizing TinyMCE. If you like WordPress but want to keep things simple, you may like Habari : http:&#x

The key takeaway : "Markdown lets you think about what you’re writing instead of how it looks"... which is arguably a bit difficult when you're manipulating raw HTML and a bit... detached on WISIWYG. Markdown allows sophistic

IMO, if you're not going to enable comments or use hosted solutions like Disqus or Livefyre, static content generation really is the way to go and WP is massively overkill. I would say though, static content generators need to be far m

Thanks! It probably isn't exposed, but it would be nice to see these grow over the years. It may even expose other things like how community hubs have shifted and what demographics are being catered to. Overlays from census data or oth

Thank you for sharing this. Do you have a snapshot archive since you first started this? I wonder how much the landscape has changed since then.

My, how times change! Come to think of it, a terabyte is a lot of data still (as is a gigabyte). Just not for movies these days though.

Not necessarily. Nav inside article functions the same as the contents list in a Wikipedia article so if you don't want that, you can remove it from the article. If you want secondary links to other related content, those should go in

Spot on. "Unless their goal is simply revenge" As they've implied in The Godfather, taking things personally is bad for business. Companies that make money do whatever is necessary to keep the flow going. Revenge is a

Good catches. This is another classic case of being first (or at least one of the first) out the gate is more important than the rest of the race. They just want to get the traffic up to speed for ad-views before making sure the story is co

Soft skills are a form of credential too. I'd say it's one of the most important credentials you can have. People can learn to program, learn systems and even learn whole languages. But often, they have the most difficulty learnin

One word: Bauhaus. Despite having its heyday before Hitler's nonsense, there's so much of modern style that school influenced. There's no reason we can't have traditional materials and blend it with modern sensibilities.

Breaking news is probably the worst invention we've had so far. Unless something is killing me right now , I don't want to know about this not-quite-news-thing until most of the details (preferably all of the details) are totally

I was asking whether native speakers could give an overall scope of what the articles were about since one-by-one translations are hardly 100% accurate and likely to miss important subtext. I was looking for whether there was additional mot

I'm reminded of those 60's futuristic reels of what the 80's would be like. Slight tangent: "The 1950's was the last time in our history people had any taste in clothing" - Patton Oswalt. In an ideal world, we&

I love it! I especially like that it is in fact a closer to a proper dome rather than a flat faceted solid since the panels are flexible. It reminds me of an igloo. We get a fair amount of snow, so if I went about this, there would probably

Doesn't mean I have to put up with it, though. In the same vein as a post linked here ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6346933 ) I refuse to play audience to someone insisting on being mean. Maybe that's jus

I never had the pleasure of owning a detached modem, but my Packard Bell PC from 1998 did come with a Winmodem 56K card. I discovered Telnet and the BBS, although those were already on the wane. Oh, the memories!
