This article did give me the out-loud-at-the-office chuckle and a whispered "what the f°°°" that only awe-inspiring hacks far above my programming intelligence level can provoke. :)

You can run a GitHub Pages site/blog from a private repo. Obviously, you need a paid GitHub subscription to do this, but it is possible (with relatively low cost).

Great idea to leverage GitHub pages! Not sure if this has been done before but this is certainly a lucrative SaaS opportunity due to the non-existent marginal cost of creating a GitHub site. -- IF OP is the author (or the author sees this)

It may not prevent travel to Mars (for example, on a centrifugal space station), but considering gravity on Mars is 62% lower than here on Earth, I would postulate without some kind of gravity manipulation we are yet to develop (unless we

Great work! With such high per-agent pricing tiers on mainstream platforms such as osTicket and ZenDesk, this looks like a great alternative for startups and small teams :)

'is it down for everybody or just me?' is a neutrally-framed status reporter. The 'vibes' I speak of are the way in which 'Dead Yet?' is, fundamentally by its name, presumptuous (in my opinion). Therefore I don

Interesting idea. However, I'm not a fan of the overwhelmingly negative vibe this gives off. By this I mean there seems to be no effort made about any kind of constructive criticism or help, e.g. a way to offer feedback on the listed s

I think the title should be the 'The Usability Acid Test'... The author's word order there made me think that they were a rogue Microsoft employee blogging about a way to check the functionality of an unknown LSD source. ;)

Can anybody shed light on how Googling for programming answers is seen in the workplace? I've always been a solo / start-up developer (for now), and sometimes I sit back and think about how my (often zealous) use of SO and Google

It sounds to me like you're describing Affinity Designer - you might want to check it out if you haven't already. It's relatively very cheap and one of the few pieces of software that I use daily that I am very happy paying t

I would update the title to your suggestion, as I agree with you — but I want to be true to The Verge — I imagine it's classic PR spin on their part...

I think we know (i.e. 90% of the time) that people will stop for us if we walk out in front of them with ample notice and conditions... It's more from a norms / politeness perspective that we don't; it's simply not acc

Yeah, but what makes me think it is a mistake is that they are focussing on a '23% chance of Brexit' figure, using the same blue as the chart line. So perhaps what they really ought to do is just swap the line around.
