I'm not sure if their stance has changed and I can't seem to find the answer that was given, but it had to do with aesthetics/layout. Basically their web layout width was too restrictive for showing side by side diffs. They

I see this becoming a trend now, where long lines are used to make it easier to do diffs. I'm on the fence about this since there are pros and cons.

I'm not sure I understand what you are referring to. Are you saying you want the long lines to be wrapped in the diff display? If so, I really can't see how this is an issue with GitHub since this is how the unified diff output

I think a lot has to do with the people doing the up/down voting. I'm guessing HN members who have been here longer and/or has more comment karma, carry significantly more weight when up/down voting. This would explains

As a techie who is doing his own thing, I can see why jcampbell would assume English was not your native tongue. Copy writing is really an art form where it's almost a language of its own. Although your sentences may be grammatically

It would be nice if implementing something like Amazon Marketplace was in their roadmap but it isn't right now.

I like the JVM but I really don't think the general population of programmers would call it fashionable. I have a friend who never visits HN but has a distrust for it even though his exposure to it was decades ago. The hardware back

I can't emphasize how easy it is to extract JVM runtime information and how useful that information is for performance tuning. Sure the JVM uses a bigger initial footprint when compared to a natively compiled application, but the abil

I agree. I find that unified diffs work well 90% of the time but when it doesn't it can be crippling. I've attached some screenshots at http://screenshots.gitsense.com/index.html that illustrates where side by s

Yeah the per-seat point is really a moot point when it comes to enterprise. ClearCase is $4000 a license and a lot and I mean a lot of large companies use it. I know of a company that is currently spending $2.5 million a year on ClearCase

I would say it's pretty easy if you are technically inclined. When I implemented the first iteration of my text search engine using Lucene, I didn't even know Java but I was able to write my own custom tokenizer and get it to index and ret

I like the simple design as well but I do find the italic time a bit distracting. At first I thought it was the italic, but after tweaking it with firebug, I think it's the time information in itself. How about sticking the time informatio

I think the sooner people realize that everybody wants easy money, the better off they will be. For me personally, if I was at stage two (working product stage), I would never dream of giving up equity unless it was the last resort.

Set::Object was certainly not around when I was learning Perl. I think this is good thing though. Not learning all these new Perl routines and functions probably slows down my program. But since we are probably dealing with 5 millisecond

I certainly agree with this but I think it's misleading to say it increases your chances for xss security threats. I can see it increasing the chances of having a webpage not behave properly across all browsers though.

Thanks for the link but I really don't see anywhere where it says using something like html() would be a greater risk. The rule of thumb is to sanitize information from untrusted sources. And as long as you adhere to this rule, I really d
