Git can do that as well with a --bare repo on any $5 virtual server. The whole setup only takes a few minutes, and Github's doing that in the backend anyway. :)

The obvious alternative is using git through a mailing group like Linux has been doing for years. I say obvious because it's the workflow for which git was built in the first place. ;) It's amazing to me that git's power to e

As a counter-point: my favorite classes were always the ones in which the teacher instilled their love of the subject into their teaching. Show me what can be accomplished--show me the best of what can be done--and let my imagination run wi

That article raises an interesting question that I've seen before. Namely: in the event where loss of life is inevitable, who does the car choose to save, and who does it choose to kill? Pedestrians or occupants? I expect auto insuran

It's worth noting that the newly replaced CEO of the VW group was the CEO of Porsche. The CEO of VW was just fired for allowing this scandal on his watch, and he was replaced by a guy guilty of (at the very least) the same exact thing.

It's way more than that. I don't listen to rap, but I found The Great Gatsby--in its entirety--annotated with each paragraph and phrase explained in great detail. There's much more to it than rap; I encourage you to take a de

Will be using this to browse design shots from now on. It's a much better interface than having to click through pages on Dribbble.

By "disasters like in Tennessee," you're referring to a family that lost their home in a fire due to not paying a business for their fire-fighting services. It's not as if they paid the firefighters, but the firefighters

1. Government is less efficient than a privately owned, profit-seeking company--at least in most cases. If a business is inefficient, an efficient competitor will wipe them out. The same cause and effect doesn't exist for governments,

If the state and local governments gave sufficient notice, private businesses would snap up the new market opportunities. Everything worthwhile would continue as usual, albeit with less waste.

JSON is a key/value data structure for JavaScript, but it's useful across languages due to the number of libraries. It typically looks like: { "hello": "world" } Tny converts this JSON into a (usua

If Alice's messages could all be intercepted and manipulated prior to Bob's receiving them, then yes, they could be changed without either party knowing. Combined with asymmetric encryption of the messages, you should be able to p

I've been extremely happy with Fastmail.fm. It's a few bucks a month, and you can't tell the difference between it and Gmail--as long as you delete emails after you no longer need them, of course. I also started using a pen &

I'm getting an occasional "TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not subscriptable." Added try/except, and it works like a dream on 99% of the emails. I'll just run it twice :)

I've been doing work in OpenCV lately which really only has good support for Nvidia.

It's about boycotting companies that are eagerly cooperating with the government to spy on hundreds of millions of innocent Americans. Chromebook Pixel is made by Google—again, PRISM.

I'm not opposed to this, but buying a machine with Windows pre-installed means that Microsoft gets paid. I want to avoid that.

I ditched every PRISM company except for two: Apple and Google. I haven't been able to find a suitable replacement for GMail, even though I'm willing to pay! I also haven't been able to find anything half as good as a Macbo

What is the common good and who defines it? If I plant a fruit tree in my garden, I no longer buy that fruit from a local farmer. Thus, I hurt the farmer. If I build Facebook, I hurt MySpace. If I build Spotify, I hurt iTunes. If I build as

It isn't really the "Freedom Party" when they demand this: "For our rejection of authority and profit-seeking when it does not serve the common good of all people, we have been called 'pirates'." How can
