This was addressed in the article. It states "The outcome is fairly robust in the sense that it's relatively insensitive to deviations from it, say, because of couples or families being seated together." During ticket purchase, families cou

Consider Webby and Jekyll as descendents of a common ancestor idea. They share many things in common but are adapting to different needs. Most importantly, because Jekyll is restricted to Liquid for scriptability, it is safe to run server-s

I'm the author of Jekyll and cofounder of GitHub. This is a great review of Jekyll in its infancy. We're using Jekyll as part of the GitHub Pages stack, and because Jekyll is a very young project, we're giving our customers a chance to shap

Agreed. Making a living with Haskell may be difficult in the world that we live in, but doing so with Python should not pose a serious challenge. There are still plenty of jobs out there for talented coders, but you'll always be stuck at th

I'm not sure what your popularity metric is, but here at GitHub we're making plenty of money on subscriptions for private code hosting without a single advertisement on the site. We've also never taken any outside money. GitHub was designed

Totally. I'd love to see the technical specs of the device. Screen size and resolution, CPU, RAM, storage, networking capabilities, ports, etc.

Awesome. The other thing, and I expect you have this in mind already, is that if I were to buy one, I'd want a thinner more modern bezel instead of a picture-framey one. Are you planning to make different styles/colors available in the futu

I'm not that interested in the photo sharing side of the Picwing, but it looks like this could become a pretty badass little device for all sorts of networked display/control applications. Will the OS or API be open for hackers to develop a

GitHub cookies are restricted to github.com and gist.github.com domains (using a redirect trick to allow cross subdomain cookie sharing). You can use all the JavaScript you like on your Pages.

GitHub is totally free and unrestricted for public code. This should give you plenty of freedom to try out the service without paying. Also, as a promotion for Cyber Monday, new signups today (12/1) can get a paid plan free for one month.

I wasn't shocked at all. My favorite thing about HN is the community and the discussion that goes on here. I don't have comments on my blog for a reason, and it is precisely so that I don't have to deal with anonymous trolls that don't thin

They say there's no such thing as bad press, but I'm not so sure anymore. I came to this forum to escape the Reddit mentality. I'm glad to see that griefers are still being aggressively downmodded here. It gives me hope that the HN communit

There are some good suggestions here. When I designed my new blog at tom.preston-werner.com I wanted to do it without any images as design elements. When you do this, you really have to pay attention to your text colors and typeface choices

They haven't been around very long, I wouldn't be surprised if they figure out a slick way to address those problems in the future. I'll be interested to see how they approach it if they do.

It seems almost inevitable that software projects become more complicated over time. Unless simplicity is a core requirement, complex features are constantly added to popular software (and rarely removed). By trying to solve a wide variety

Webby is a great system and very close to what I needed; indeed I took many ideas from it. But webby does not help me with the blog specific parts that I wanted to have automated. The entire point of Jekyll is to remove every last bit of pa

Yeah, there's lots of smarts left to add to Jekyll. Only regenerating modified posts/assets is a big one.

I've opted to rely on HN for discussion in lieu of comments, but you could easily hook up disqus or another embedded commenting system. Send me a pull request on GitHub when you've got your features hacked in!

My experience, while obviously not universally true, is that "release early, release often" is critical to web applications. One big mistake we made at Powerset was to keep everything secret and fuel the hype machine. I think that in the en
