This is something that came up very often in the discussion on Twitter, too, and I think while there are these kinds of persons, there are also others that are more productive and are able to keep technical dept at a minimum. I think one

I'd argue to do everything the grandparent said and then show the result with `gitk --all` or something similar.

Don't forget about GMail. Everytime you send a mail to somebody on GMail, which might not be obvious with custom domains, your mail will be analyzed by Google. And your email address serves as the perfect ID.

There was a talk about "Scaling Git at GitHub" [1] a few years ago at Git Merge. While it may no longer be accurate, it still gives some insight into how GitHub is run. [1]: https://youtube.com/watch?v=xK5yaWTt0R0

Why would major refactoring be insane when collaborating? We do this regularly in my team in early stages of projects and only when really required once projects become stable. But these projects are usually not about crypto, so I might mis

Sorry, but I can't take anyone seriously writing this on Twitter, the most toxic platform of them all.

I actually use Firefox and avoid Google products where possible, but for the majority of users Google is controlling their browser.

Exactly: Google built a walled garden and now replaces the fence by glass, because people don't like the view from inside their cage. The worst thing is, that it'll get away with it.

At least this saved the engineers quite some amount of time.

Do we really need yet another chat app? I think there are far too many of them. Can't we go back to XMPP again and make everything compatible like it was ten years ago?

I don't think removing the padding is beneficial in this case.

This doesn't come as a surprise to me, since Anders Heijlsberg, wo created TypeScript, was the technical lead of the team that developed C#.

You can buy a new remote control if you want. It's a little annoying to set up but works flawlessly thereafter. I recently bought an all-in-one remote because my TV's remote broke apart and now I've got one remote for all the

Often, HTML is not hand-crafted by developers but created by content authors in WYSIWYGs or generated from markdown. Of course developers could find ways to force content authors to write accessible content, but most content needs to be che

I thought Google had retired GTalk sometime in their move to Google+, Hangouts, etc.? Is it still working via XMPP?

I don't see why rendering TeX formulas would be slower than rendering MathML. It should be possible to maintain implementations for both variants with similar performance. MathML's parser should be simpler though, cause it's
