Sure, the number 80 may be rooted in a very old design decision, but that doesn't mean it's necessarily bad or suboptimal because of that. More isn't better in this case. When text gets too wide, it becomes harder to move you

I had Gittip in mind, and it is a single place.

What if I told you that already exists, and you can be giving $10 a month or whatever to many websites or individuals right now? Most people who say "wouldn't it be great" like above end up changing their minds about donating

I bought it long ago and I'm very happy with it for my needs - a very inexpensive simple Photoshop replacement. If it didn't exist, I would be in a bad place. I still wish they'd add one feature that I sometimes need and feel

Saying that it's a "failure of design" suggests there's an easy non-failure alternative. If so, can you tell us what it is? Are you sure that solution won't fail under some conditions? People like to take something

I really dislike SMS-based 2FA and do not use it at all. Imagine you're traveling, now you may have to pay 75 cents just to login somewhere. Google Authenticator-based 2FA avoids all these problems.

If you do Go development, you can do this to quickly get to root folder of any Go package: function gocd { cd `go list -f '{{.Dir}}' $1` } It uses the same syntax as go list to specify packages, so you can do, e.g.:

It's not an error, it's a design decision. I wanted the rate of time increase to be constant every year, and I wanted the time to be universal (across all timezones). I did take leap years into account by calculating the average y

I find it interesting how so many people still find it acceptable in 2014 to be using a "phone number" as their id. It's a number you can't even pick yourself: you _pay_ to get a randomly assigned digits, at best with th

Agreed. I'm surprised no one seems to notice how non-native scrolling in Atom is.

Yep, and it works fine for fenced code blocks within Markdown, e.g.: http://www.mkdown.com/7346402

I understand the problem, I'm thinking how to best solve it. FWIW, the markdown files for all chapters in that book you've linked do not contain an extra newline at the end; there's only one (just like markdownfmt leaves it).

I see, thanks. That's intended behavior. It's related to the decision of whether to enable EXTENSION_HARD_LINE_BREAK, which I've currently left off. So in order to start a new paragraph, you need to leave a empty line in betw

A UI critique: the "Another" button appears after the tweet. Most tweets vary in height. The result is that the button moves up and down after each press, which interrupts my ability to look at the tweet and requires me to hunt fo

This is neat. I've created something equivalent for Markdown, and decided to post it today: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7724159 After getting so used to gofmt-on-save (err, rather goimports-on-save now), I fin

I figured now was as good time as any to post this, after seeing jsfmt posted today. I've been dogfooding this for about a month for all my Markdown (mostly GitHub README.mds, comments to issues, etc.), and by now it's stable to c
