What do you mean 'with bots'? We're talking about anyone at all hitting a link blocking the IP they have. Some mobile networks have every person on the network originating traffic from the same IP. Some large institutions, un

Users share IPs.

Wonderful. So your users may occasionally be blocked due to you having a bit of fun. IP blocking is a terribly over broad way of stopping intruders.

OK I could take that as a reason.

OK I get what you're saying, but honestly, who is really 'losing productivity'? I suspect the ones saying they are in fact just getting on with other tasks they can do because they are, despite github, still using distributed

Just noticed an interesting design decision on that page. An 'everything OK' message once a day. One way to push previous downtime below the fold of the page.

I see it often enough already. In fact, I'd rather it was on someone else's house. I would forget it was up there if it was on my own.

Gosh you're right, I'll do it right now! Thanks!

I buy new cars in the uk using credit but don't drive them much. My baseline miles per week is 0. Occasionally we use our car at the weekend. Still, I buy a brand new expensive car every few years. I guess I just old enough to.be effec

What exactly is US 'number 1' in? Income inequality? Incarceration rate? Yes, I suppose those things do need a lot of money to fund. US passport a great passport? I don't think so. Is it a schengen passport? No. Does it allow

What I find particularly funny is that: - a positive net immigration rate into the UK has been critical in continuing to develop our economy, - those people from the UK living in Spain will, mostly, be retired people, - those newspaper comm

To be fair, an arse and utterly pedantic, I didn't say it was just talking /about/ startups.

The fact that someone is rich does not mean they took anything from 'you'. But the fact that there is such a disparity between their income and your income means they claim a much larger part of the economic output of the planet,

I'm quite sure it is completely true. In aggregate it is an absurd view for so many people to hold, but that doesn't mean it isn't held. Look at where we are! Hacker News - 10,000s of people talking around start ups! Pretty m

Misplaced? No. Under generalized? Perhaps. But what's wrong with a good example? Rant and clickbait are loaded words, often used to dismiss without discussion.

I don't think that affects any of the arguments made.

Support would be good. I imagine a lot of people use their ssh config like I do; as a directory of servers that I have various scripts work with.

I tell this to Americans because I don't want to hear their views on politics.

Perception and reality often differ. Xenophobia has nothing to do with reality, but instead perceived notions of otherness.

FUD. Worse in fact - xenophobic FUD.

Macho British? I'm not sure that is a thing (in a good way.)

Right and the reference to the atomic bomb is of a 'secret project'. The discrepancy is a little bit jarring to read.

Same here. No problem at all if a command I run once a week per project takes a few seconds. I can't imagine coding in clojure without leiningen. It stops me from having to deal with a tonne of complexity I really don't want to th

Can only agree. Except they don't ask authors to do all typesetting and copyediting. Some try to provide value there by outsourcing it all to companies that make a complete mess of it. For an example see the recent IOP publication of a

Amazing but I'm a little bit frustrated at the username he chose. 'PresidentObama'. One day he will no longer be president and then maybe he will understand the difference between identity and value.

It is another example of the new form war takes when it comes to casualties: highly asymmetric. It has recently been in the news, thus on my mind. No other reason I bring it up.
