How is this a challenge to DigitalOcean? Linode's solution is inferior to the pure-SSD storage layout at DO and is still four times the price. Linode is trying (and failing) to play catch-up.

Redundancy, public access and not having hundreds of unused repositories on my computer. I'm not trying to sell anyone on the idea, it just works for me and I like it so whatever.

Sort of. I've automated synchronizing it with the GitHub repo, so my local repo may be behind the cached repo. I'm also protected if a repository is deleted/moved/DMCAed.

What can be done to prevent the "Connection to github.com closed by remote host" error that comes a few minutes after a push/pull with the Control settings enabled? Since I'm normally in vim by then, it ruins the layout

It took me less than five seconds to make the SSH changes and less than five minutes to set up the intermediate server. Now I also have a cache for when GitHub goes down (all the time.)

Not if that information is already publicly and easily accessible to that group. If I was to post a link to an existing but obscure Wikipedia article on Hacker News, it would be as much of a "revelation" as Snowden's "r

No, he really didn't. We knew that the USA intercepted any Internet traffic they could get their hands on, and we knew that big data companies were in bed with the NSA. If the talking point is that Snowden got these facts on mainstre

What you meant is `while !max || max < i`, but the answer is the same: the former will perform better because it only makes one comparison for each iteration of the loop. The latter needs to additionally check the existence of max.

As a rule of thumb, I don't take any article that refers to Snowden's leaks as "revelations" seriously. The only new information Snowden revealed is that their programs are called PRISM, upstream and xKeyscore; and if a

Whenever there's discussion of timing attacks on Tor, somebody always says "that's impossible unless they were able to monitor a very significant amount of all Tor traffic. Tor is safe." Somehow, they don't realize

The newsworthy thing to me is that this hadn't happened already.

Technically yes, but it would likely only be possible with a restricted subset of the language. Python and Ruby have a large standard library and set of built-in functions, because they're "batteries included" languages. Lu

It's designed as a simple and performant language. Embedding within games, for example, is one area where those traits are very valuable. That doesn't mean Lua is only good for embedded programs or games: Lapis and Luvit are tes

Regrettably, how you feel doesn't change the well-understood and long-standing definition of "out of the box."

I hope that Luvit[0] is what will bring Lua to the forefront of web development. It has such remarkable potential. It could completely (and should completely) replace node. [0] http://luvit.io

That's why I specified "out of the box." It doesn't make sense for there to be completely mandatory extensions like South -- they should be bundled in, fitting with the "batteries included" culture of Python.

Awesome, Django might be usable out of the box now. :)

So what's a good alternative to nginx? Not going back to Apache, that's for sure.

Indeed. Thanks a lot for the link.

No, second person "you" is less telling than third person "David Miranda." "Your debate" is not descriptive in the least. I chose the word "objectively" deliberately.

Why are you coming to a news website for intentionally unhelpful "artistic" headlines? I think you might have made a wrong turn.

None of those things matter at all. The second title is objectively more descriptive and that's what titles should be.
