Is there any official channel for feedback? I just opened this on my repo and there's 3 immediate things I noticed: 1. The commit message UI sprouts a subtle 72 column marker when I put text in it, which is nice. But what it's mis

If the measurement here is how long it takes to respond to the first user input, why does a 233ms main function matter? As a user, how am I expected to scan the page, locate a link, and click on it within that 233ms?

This explains why visiting twitter.com has been horribly broken for months. Literally every time I try to visit twitter.com in Safari, it would just load a blank page and do nothing, and I'd have to manually reload before it would come

It only drives up the cost of phishing attacks if the customer actually expects the EV cert UI and is willing to bail if they don't see it. One of the major issues with EV is that, while seeing the EV cert may give the user confidence

Noon is not the center of the waking day for most people anymore. Also, even if you use DST, most people still won't have the sun be directly overhead at noon.

For those of you who believe Wil's post, what actually happened was he got bofa'd and kind of went crazy. He started harassing other users, reporting anyone who said anything remotely negative about him, and going to the point of

You can only relicense it if you're the sole copyright owner. Otherwise you have to get approval from every single person who's ever contributed non-trivial changes to the project. But the reverse isn't true; permissive licen

By the time the project is at a point where it's worth someone else selling, you should have given some thought to the license you want to use.

If you don't care about licensing, you should absolutely not default to a copyleft license. You should only ever use a copyleft license when you intentionally and explicitly want copyleft behavior. The truth is, unless you're spen

The other benefit of self-checkout is you can fit perhaps 8 machines in the space that you used to use for 3 lanes, so even though an individual checkout might take longer, overall you can probably get higher throughput on the self-checkout

I was wondering why stacking N different galaxies was any different than just taking one image and multiplying it by N, but your comment just provided the answer: noise.

tl;dr: No. Elaborating slightly: A paper that is related to (but does not directly argue for) an "uncomfortable truth" was published, then unpublished 3 days later and replaced with a different paper. The author of this blog piece

Ah. I recommend adding a link to that FAQ entry in the README, as it currently mentions in several places that it has optional PCRE support but has zero mention of the fact that this is (usually) slower.
