Is it only for HTML, or will it alert on changes to JavaScript files for instance?

After you get 8+ years of real world experience doing what you do under belt, your education becomes irrelevant in most fields. So if you've been lucky enough to have someone believe in you without caring about your missing degree, and

Awesome! But may I suggest that you loose some of the animated stuff on the front page. My eyes hurt :(

I think this illustrates my point ;) But since when do I get down-votes for favouring the metric system??
127.
by watson 12y ago
I think the "but it's easier to visualize" claim is BS. I would argue that it's just as hard for a person who's is used to the metric system to visualize inches, feet and yards as it is for a person used to those un

This makes me think of microservice architecture, though of cause on a different level. It's my experience that keeping things small is a huge benefit, that being commits, pull requests, deploys or actual projects :)

As far as I know hub is more than just a command line tool for pull requests. It extends git with a lot of Github nice-ness. But in the end some people just like CLI's better - and in this case it exposes some features that's not

Ah, good point. I've been running hub for some time (love "hub pull-request"), but yes I never did set it up as an alias for some reason

This also eliminates the use of the "Merge pull request" button which removes all the pull-request-merged-commits. I don't know about you guys, but I have not found them useful? Do you use the merge commits for anything?

I just tried this on an open pull request we had. Pretty ok experience. For some reason though, there where a merge conflict when running the "hub am -3 <url>" command. In my case was easy to fix, but Github reported the PR

Just a note to people who want to try this: According to the post you should use the command "git am -3 <url>", this seems to be a typo and should be: "hub am -3 <url>"

This is not a thing that can be changed overnight. It takes decades to update the city infrastructure, but the city planners can take small steps in the right direction each year. Take a look at this short film from 2009 from my home town o

I feel many people in here don't actually read the entire post. It mentions several times that there is a VCS. It even gives a link: https://github.com/vdukhovni/postfix

Thanks for your support. I thought I would just share some of our thoughts and experience with the app naming and discoverability problem. An app will rank differently on different keywords in different App Stores. For every keyword you com

Yes, you always have to be aware of the current visa situation. For back-packers, it's been very popular to get a tourist visa and just cross the border back and forth once every month to get it extended. But lately the government star

Hi, co-founder of Champion here. We're located in Bangkok and I can really recommend it. I've not been to Chiang Mai so I cannot really compare it, though I would guess Bangkok is still more startup friendly. To address the curren

They didn't know about the breach until about two weeks ago [1], though that doesn't normally excuse that they waited two weeks to go public with the knowledge. One reason to hold back this information is if going public would mak

I would be surprised. Anyway, why would they pay for scrubbing if the data is less than 3 months old and do it for free if not? If they do scrub, I don't think those are related

I've always thought that the deletion fee for <3 month old data was a way to limit "misuse of the service" - call it a detergent if you will - more than actually a way to recuperating costs. Because I guess the costs will

Interesting thought... but wouldn't your body already have the same speed and direction as before the switch-off? The switch-off would only stop external forces from altering your speed and direction. So I would estimate that you have
