We added code at least a year ago to prevent people from building gems with the name of a gem already hosted on rubyforge. That being said, the rubygem library itself really needs some type of namespacing solution to solve the problem once

I'll venture a guess you've never heard of the git hosts that only offer private plans. Allowing people to post public code for free is fundamental to our business model and a major reason why we're successful.

I don't recall anyone promising that, but I apologize if you feel mislead.

That was the conclusion we came to: either do them all or none of them. The problem is with the amount of time we spent working on, maintaining, and fielding support requests for rubygems, the last thing we wanted to do was multiply that wo

We (GitHub) were DDoS'd the other week when members of an open source project hosted on the site got upset at the other members and wanted to make the entire ecosystem around the project suffer. Not saying that's what happened to BitBucket,

I'm not sure where you got the impression that we don't care, I wouldn't have written the post otherwise.

Forks represent around 30% of the total repos on our site, so the new, unique repos created daily still outpace new users.

You're correct that Rackspace is more expensive than our current arrangement with Engine Yard, but it would have been quite the opposite had we elected to stay.

Unless I'm missing the sarcasm, you still pay for your S3 usage when you're using CloudFront.

Real hardware and lots of it. Once we get moved over and everything's humming along nicely, we'll do a writeup or two about the new infrastructure.

I love the clever quips over at Reddit as much as the next guy, but I've come to enjoy HN's higher level of expectation out of its responses. Just because people are modding you up, doesn't mean you shouldn't try to uphold that standard.

Doesn't yahoo.com use sprites? Not trying to be difficult, is the transparency issue the reason you don't like them? edit: I suppose I could have read the article first

Trying to make that sort of money using something like an Adsense program is going to take a hell of a lot more pageviews over having a sales force capable of selling high-dollar ad packages. That isn't to say that sites like PlentyofFish h

Imagine Caddyshack minus all of the hilarity and sex, just the dragging golf clubs around for rich people part. Pay always depended on how well the golfer did (better score, better tip) but it was normally around $25 for about 4 hours of wo
