For anyone wondering why you might not want to use GH pages, and use S3/Cloudfront instead... The Git 1.8 release notes ended up with this today: "You're over the rate limit. Serve this file from your own servers. Contact support@github.com

I'll give you that 75% of this article is unnecessary hyperbole which adds nothing to the central message. The central message is very interesting though.

Reading the background on this Sanger does bring his post on Wikipedia's "problem" into a new light. Perhaps he still has an axe to grind?

All pja's are great ideas. I'm going to attach one to a Roomba and finally have enough power to do something entertaining with it..

I've run a server at home for years. Mostly for SSH access to my old catalogue of email and to do some remote coding when at work. It also served as a website host for small scripts.. Which is about all you can do on a home connection. For

Wow. I thought I saw a pig just fly past my office! I never thought this would happen - but then neither did Mr Haack.. Kudos to Microsoft for coming to join the party. Hopefully with a bit of luck I'll never be using or coding on MS stack

"it's ok to be rowdy when you're drunk, it's expected and it's understood" And here you've nailed the point that the OP of the first alcohol related post on HN completely missed. His repeated assertion of "drinking to get buzzed/drunk" was

Having been born in the UK and travelled to Europe a lot, jeez do we get it easy there. You can drive across ten countries in a month and have nobody blink twice. They see the coat of arms on the UK passport and just wave you through. The o

+1 for Envoy. It's a really nice replacement for subprocess (which is awful). Clint and Requests are worth a look too.. Thanks Kenn!

Absolutely brilliant. As a relative HN newbie, this really should posted about once a year. "Later still, in an effort to cash in on the popularity of skin diseases the language is renamed ECMAScript."

I've recently taken to having a tmux session on the left (with split panes) and then an iTerm2 split pane on the right, so I get a full terminal scroll back. The keyboard shortcuts do get a bit confusing at times!

This was my sentiment exactly. Any idea why he's so keen on sequential keys? They're mentioned as desirable several times in the article.

Pool and bowling will both improve after a couple of beers - your muscles will relax and you'll start to throw/shoot straighter. It's all technique with these two sports. I don't need to point out too many beers will affect your technique i
