   Not the person you were responding to, but this could be easily worked around by sticking `img` tags into the page with urls that are crafted to share information.

   I pause at those commas. And so do most of the people I know. However, I've noticed that it is much easier to notice the pauses if the speaker is from the South and speaks with a drawl. :-)

   You can use the github client with non-github repos as well.

   Yep. It probably wouldn't be hard to modify this workflow to use Less or Stylus instead so that you don't need Ruby.

    You can take it a step further with an old-fashioned reel mower. They work quite well as long as your yard isn't ridiculously large or weedy.

    Interesting how peoples' experiences differ. I did mowing/lawn care work through high school and college, and loved having hours and hours in the sun to just think. I have two (unpublished) novels that I was able to plot and write

    Worth pointing out that the tool used to produce the annotated version is open source, and annotated by running it against its own source code: http://jashkenas.github.io/docco/

    I don't know if you've tried using outlook.com lately, but it is refreshingly simple compared to how complicated the Gmail interface has become.

    While there are other "browsers," they are really just different user interfaces wrapped around the same Safari rendering engine.

    > if most people used rational thought then you'd expect most people to have similar beliefs Well, possibly. But then again, what if all those people happen to have very different sets of evidence on which to make their decisions?

    I don't have experience with ClojureScript yet, but CoffeeScript is trivial to debug since the source and the compiled JavaScript are structurally very similar.

    The Bible was certainly written before the medieval period. The Biblical canon was pretty much set by the late 4th century. And all of the books included in the canon had been complete before that point.

    The original statement was worded in a slightly misleading way. Medieval Christians weren't confused about virtuous people before Jesus. As you point out, they knew the Old Testament. What they were confused about was the idea of the &

    Spam is unsolicited email. I have 3,000 subscribers who voluntarily subscribed to a (primarily) HTML email newsletter. Why HTML instead of plain text? So that I can send articles with syntax highlighted code snippets.

    I want a better news reader. I pay for Newsblur, and I like it. But I'd like it even more if it was snappier, had a slightly cleaner UI, etc.

    Decent compile-to-js languages can work as well. CoffeeScript is probably the most prominent, but ClojureScript seems especially promising to me.

    My subscription to Newsblur just auto-renewed. :-)

    There are thousands upon thousands of people who write blogs on wordpress.com, Blogger, and even older sites like LiveJournal and Xanga. Not to mention all the technically inclined folks who run their own with self-hosted WordPress, Jekyll,

    That's how my team at work does things as well. It actually speeds things along much more quickly than doing a bunch of fixes in one branch, because if one of your fixes is held up by QA, all the others can still be merged independentl

    And judging by the number of subscribers to Peter Cooper's newsletter empire, and my own humble offerings, many technical people have a different tolerance, too.
