On git-scm.com, it says the latest build for OS X is 2.8.1. However, if you actually go to https://git-scm.com/download/mac to try to download it, they give you the 2.6.4 installer.

A coding challenge isn't going to tell me whether you might be an asshole who's hard to work with.

Ah, now all my downvotes make sense ;) The article gave me the impression that OpenBSD was the maintainer of OpenSSL.

If it's a given, then why do all 3 manpages on https://www.openssl.org/docs/ say "[STILL INCOMPLETE]" and have for years? Edit: I just read parennoob's comment about how OpenBSD isn't the maint

I didn't mention javascript. Try running their site through a validator: http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.openssl.... Duplicate IDs and font tags? Come on...

How about adding "completion of our manpages" or "making our website less shitty" to that list? See https://www.openssl.org/docs/

Thunder Bay and Waterloo have pretty much the same population (~100K). That said, both are giant cities compared to Zeballos (population of 125): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zeballos,_British_Columbia

I was referring to the fact that ES2 was designed before Apple acquired Emagic.

It's by Emagic, not Apple. It used to be available as a separate product: http://www.zzounds.com/item--EMAESC

I'm one of them. I started with Logic 5 (from Emagic), and keep throwing money at upgrades every time a new version comes out. Where's the reward for my loyalty? Oh, and thanks for dropping 32-bit plug-in support.

I wonder how the failure rate for autoland compares to that of human-controlled landings (specifically on the Boeing 777). I'm fine with having the human as a backup, but if autoland on a particular plane has a lower failure rate, I pr

I wonder how similar his algorithm is to that of Mac OS X: http://www.tuaw.com/2008/11/19/mac-101-shorten-text-using-th... EDIT: I just watched the launch video, and apparently Summly uses a genetic algorithm. I doubt that Mac OS X does.

As I went to speak with the driver, he threw the car into reverse and sped off, striking me and running over my right foot as I fell to the ground. Probably because the driver was like "AAHHHHH!!!! A FREAKIN' CYBORG!!!!"

> It isn't about sticking it to anyone I disagree. Whenever I have suicidal fantasies, the sense of hopelessness is always accompanied by some twisted form of "that'll show them". "Them" is usually either my employer or a girl I adore.
