My favorite response was on Quora where someone asked a similar question and mentioned that "Most GitHubbers wouldn't even pass a Google interview". I certainly wouldn't. And would promptly get myself fired within the week.

How does that relate to the DMCA's Safe Harbor provisions? I don't know as much about the CDA. Mostly I'm curious as you say this is "one of the best pieces of legislation", and how it relates in strength to DMCA's own provisions.

Your latter statement is unequivocally false, for what it's worth. On both counts.

A quick Googling didn't turn up anything, but I'd be shocked if Matt and Trey supported SOPA. Comedy Central, maybe, but not them. Allegedly from the South Park Studios FAQ: ( http://www.idealog.us/2006/10/matt_and_trey_w.html ): > Matt

I just want to make it clear that none of us at GitHub have any plans of dropping our usage of Dreamweaver.

If you didn't notice, this also ties into an orientation sensor if you've got one. On my MacBook Pro, for example, just tilt your laptop left or right and the snow will fall that direction.

Everyone in the same room as you. (Physical room. In meatspace.) Or wherever your speakers are located.

You can do most of it through the web (actual pause+play controls will be coming soon). It's got a really easy API, though, so you can build other clients without too much trouble.

Pull Requests welcome for Last.fm/Spotify/rdio. :) Doing a centralized server was the easiest way to avoid the whole "I have a rare song on my desktop that I really want to play and now I'm mad I can't play it on the speakers."

Nope, just in Enterprise.

A lot of reasons, but the largest was that part of the big push for Enterprise was to mimic our github.com environment as much as possible. Every difference between the two is a real cost to support. A different Ruby interpreter definitely

Firewall Install used JRuby to precompile our models and controllers; GitHub Enterprise uses code obfuscation with MRI.

I'm fine with being fairly passionate with your "default" language you turn to more often than not. Personally, I really love Ruby, and I'm happy with that. The problem is the whole attacking thing. If you really love another language, that

We love Ruby, but Hubot's always been written in Node.js. (Today's Hubot was rewritten to CoffeeScript, which we also love.) We're still in the process of porting a lot of stuff over from old-hubot, so we'll be making a lot more contribut

We're just shipping the foundation right now. A lot of our other stuff is tied to a substantial amount of other services (our CI, our special build layer, various other home-grown services, etc). Over time — and judging from Twitter, very q

I'd argue that how you go from 4 to 40 developers is much more important than how you go from 100 to 200 developers. What's more, I find this area fascinating to discuss since many users in our Hacker News community tends to be in the 1-10

Doesn't look like anything's two weeks behind on our end; might've gotten lost in the mix. I assume you already did this, but can you shoot us an email at support@github.com (or sales@github.com for FI sales) and we'll make sure to get on i

I think a healthy amount of skepticism is good. Just because TextMate was initially good doesn't mean that TextMate 2 will meet everyone's expectations. And like it or not, TextMate 2 will have to live up to everyone's expectations... you c

Frozen Rails didn't record talks. I'm giving this a couple more places, though, and it's a high possibility one of them will.

I think rvm could have a lot more Ruby code in it- Wayne (the author) does a lot of things in shell that could feasibly be abstracted away in Ruby. I happen to really like that, although I think it goes against the grain of what most Rubyis

I've been saying more and more that "I hate shell almost as much as I love it" for those same reasons you mentioned. The syntax is so horrible while at the same time it's so powerful and clear and... lovely. Maybe I'm just strange, but even
