Putting Octocat in the header image for the blog post is a little misleading if you don't know what Pixi.js is, considering the only relation with GitHub is the repo is now hosted there.

That's actually a very good analogy to why Beamr's "minimal bitrate for no quality loss" isn't groundbreaking at all, especially since there is necessarily quality loss in lossy H264 -> H264 encoding. 85% is already a quality number, sa

One of the author's points is that relative dates discard information. 10:37 and 10:36 are both encoded as "9 hours ago," and therefore you can't map back to absolute dates without potentially losing order.

The typical environment variable for socks proxies is SOCKS_SERVER, so: export SOCKS_SERVER=127.0.0.1:8000 in conjunction with ssh -D8000 Unfortunately many utilities don't support SOCKS or have non-standard flags, so you would need a wrapp

Wouldn't the Pythonic thing be to only fail after you've tried, instead of validating your parameters in advance?

Moving away from using regex to parse JSON, you can use Jsawk and Underscore-cli to manipulate JSON like Awk or JavaScript. https://github.com/micha/jsawk/ https://github.com/ddopson/underscore-cli

It's hard to say what's going on with the font. Works fine on Mac 10.8 Chrome 22.0.1215.0 ( http://i.imgur.com/QMfte.png ), but not in Safari, Firefox or Chrome iOS ( http://i.imgur.com/8FruE.png ).

You're right, they shouldn't be making that average. Specifically, Likert data is ordinal, meaning 14 is less than 15 and greater than 13, but the gap between 15 and 14 may be different than 14 and 13. For example, let's say people measure
