This is a fantastic extension! Browsing is fast and efficient, and creating the token for my private repos was painless. A "search for files/folders named ..." feature would be a nice bonus, too, so that you can quickly get t

Although http://gist.io has this already, I think I like mkdown's CSS a little better (though there doesn't seem to be <code> styling as of yet). In any case, great work!

I have to say that I've had completely the opposite experience from the author. GMaps almost always find what I'm looking for in a timely fashion, I find the offline maps useful when I'm traveling to a different city, and so

Interesting! I have a burner number that i use for sites I don't really trust (usually because they insist on texting to confirm it's real). I wonder if Canadian banks are more accommodating in this regard, because having a phone

Are you in the US? How do you deal with any one of the many sites that require a phone number (e.g. bank accounts)? SIP?

by jxf 12y ago
Just that one. The "class" that the method is attached to here is the metaclass of `@user`. That class is below `User` in the hierarchy: class User; def foo; "foo"; end; end # => :foo module M; def bar;

I'd want to see it as a `foreman`-like description: identify the Dockerfiles, map to an instance type, and say how many of each container you want.

by jxf 13y ago
I'm happy that AWS is bringing Docker into the ecosystem, but note that this currently allows for a maximum of one container per instance, which is a rather inefficient use of Docker and doesn't add a lot of value. Docker shines

On small boards, the leverage created by a full-size USB cablehead often jostles the board around and makes it unstable, which is obnoxious. Smaller cables don't have the same problem.

I agree, it's a legitimate question. The Glass doesn't do much computation locally, so it can't do a good job of "building a profile about you". It requires a linked phone to do most of its magic (e.g. GPS navigatio
