No thanks, after seeing a perfectly valid DOS question get closed by incompetent moderation.

Okay, so you could tag your release in the repo and then add the result of `make distcheck` to the release afterwards, without having to check in things like configure scripts? That's not too bad.

Good points, but I'm sorry to point out that buying the iPhone itself supports the war on general purpose computing. Jailbreaking might get you out of this set of digital handcuffs, but what about the next one, or the one after that?

I find it interesting that iD and Carmack are still described in terms of Doom and Quake.

Do you have an api? It would be nice to be able to make emacs do M-x ruby-apropos foo and pick something.

It's not that it's uninteresting. It's that it's posted without context or commentary.

Wasn't it some stupid valentine's day thing? I looked for it earlier but couldn't find it; either my search-fu is failing or engines are getting worse.

Good on you for going GPLv3 as your free software license. I think it's really funny to see people here going "b-but you should use my favourite license" instead of "that's a cool thing you've built there"

That's interesting and all, but why do we get a mildly-interesting wikipedia article every couple of days without any context or commentary? I've half a mind to write a bot that submits a random article every 48 hours.
