A downvote...? Should I have e-mailed the parent commenter instead of posting publicly how strongly I agreed...?

I wish I could take every upvote I've ever given to someone else on Hacker News, and put them all on this post instead. But, I can only upvote it once. So it'll have to do for now.

You can also do a server-side svn copy to create a branch of trunk (which is relatively instantaneous), then use svn switch to selectively swap out the directories in your working copy relevant to your change. I usually wrap this up in

FTA: Now, I don't literally mean a driver's license. I'm using this term figuratively to mean online credentials that I can re-use in more than one place on the internet.

FTA: If all I want to do is leave a comment on a blog -- like, say, this one -- then one of the weaker forms of identity will surely do. If I'm starting a new bank account, or setting up a profile on a dating website, then maybe a stronger

I hate the title of Ramit's book, because I have to add an explanatory sentence every single time I recommend it to a friend. "You should really check out this book... it's called I Will Teach You To Be Rich . I know, it really really r

Wow, that's remarkable. And telling that even Googlers aren't shielded from politics there. You have my condolences, sir!

This has definitely been posted before... I feel like StackOverflow isn't the right tool for this kind of info, either. Wasn't there some kind of website that sought to document all of the "checklist"-style information out there?

This blog post touches on so much! First off, I think it's very interesting that the blogger characterized the assumption of promotion to be a very Indian/Asian thing, because it's absolutely something that, in America, is considered a very

I'm really surprised that this hasn't been solved by browser vendors yet. You should be able to tell your browser about your OpenID account(s), so it can keep you logged in constantly. "Hey! Your OpenID login has expired. Please login ag
