This is great! I have a bit of feedback though: - Does it really need access to my private repos too? I don't get to only let it see public repos? There's a reason some of my repos are private, and I don't really feel comfort

Do you still wear your pebbles? I'm not OP, but I've had the opposite experience: I'm not using mine anymore. I have both the original Pebble and the Pebble Time, but I've abandoned them in favor of a Suunto Ambit 3. I

I don't think I really understand what you mean. What he said was that it stays at 10 years indefinitely. Either way, x+10 and e^x both go to infinity, so I guess the conclusion is the same, right?

Every single article I've read on responsive images has adopted the same angle: they're fantastic, and you should use them now. In this post, I'm presenting a less popular opinion, namely that the new specification for respon

The extension badly needs settings, so that you can control what features you want and don't want. That being said, the author of the extension isn't really active on GitHub. He certainly hasn't replied to my pull request tha
