I presume the commenter was asking the author of the project to fix a bug. While the submitter may not have actually been said author, it sure seems like a reasonable request. And yes, perhaps asking the commenter to contribute is also reas

I used to feel this way, but then I discovered https://blog.github.com/ and no longer do. Sure, they may not be addressing your/my specific concerns, but the product is changing.

I can see that, but I choose to remain unrealistically optimistic in the face of reality anyway. :D

There was a story somewhere (I can't find it now) about how a big part of the lack of car color options in the US is that consumers are used to buying cars directly off dealer lots. According to the article, this makes the consumer int

"Better" is a tricky word. I have no doubt PDK (and even far less sophisticated (semi-)automated transmissions) is _faster_ and less likely to make a mistake, but what if outright performance isn't the ultimate goal? I had th

I would even understand a higher automatic take rate for the Miata, as it has a broader appeal (based on my guess that more people are willing to drive such a small car if it's also a convertible). But the 86 siblings are really pretty

You can use the e-brake as you lift off the clutch pedal and press on the accelerator. With some learning, I'm now pretty OK at it after some 13,000 miles of manual driving total.

I feel the same way. City traffic commutes and long highway cruises seem to be what most people think of when they think about driving, but it can be so much more than that. Few things are as fun as a balanced car on twisty mountain roads,

> Take the Subaru BRZ. The popular sports car was once sold only with a manual transmission, but sales are now 90 percent automatic, Fiske estimated. I find this a bit difficult to believe. The automatic option has a reputation for being

I hadn't thought of that, but it sounds like a useful thing to test out. Thanks!

I very much feel like this as well (on both counts), especially about CI. I'd love to hear any strategies folksight have for coping with this and actually making decisions without looking into every single option, if that's a thin

Even accepting your premise as as true (which I don't necessarily), social media isn't the only space in which this problem appears. The article itself mentions "members of British Parliament [being] blocked from viewing the

Seeing a former coworker use Magit in Emacs is what got me to look into the Vim version: https://github.com/jreybert/vimagit From what I gather it's nowhere near as feature-complete, but it lets me create commits

For what it's worth, I started using Netlify ( https://www.netlify.com/ ) for my static sites a while ago, and it's been great. Automatic LE support is definitely one of my favorite features.

I appears to be so—I was unaware of that when I posted my reply.

Sidestepping the questionable wording (part of the OP's point is that RubyGems is _not_ funded by Ruby Together), bandwidth and human time are probably far more significant portions of operational cost than hardware.

My guess is they engage with other Facebook users in a more direct and deliberate manner. I'd wager that's a far less addictive way to use Facebook overall.

Maybe give it a password to a honeypot network of yours? I realize it's a bad solution, but that might work…unless it's "smart" enough to realize it has no connection and try other networks regardless…

I would like to try this out. :) Try as I might, I just don't spend enough time actively using Twitter to make it all that interactive, but I'd still like the ability to catch up in a read-only manner.
