   IMO we shouldn't have to jump through hoops to be able to commit. Let people commit whatever they want and then run tests to decide if you want to merge in their branches. The workflow should encourage people to commit early and often

   Look, you are making the assumption that she went into the whole 180-day project with absolutely no idea about web technology. Given what she says, I think that's a wrong assumption. From the post: 'When I set out on this project,

    Microsoft will stop supporting XP in roughly a year. Then you either upgrade or expose yourself.

    I've been a Bitbucket member since 2009 and have an open source project (since 2010) as well as a few private repos. I've had users signing up simply to open issues and communicate with me. Works like a charm. They've always been top-notch

    In other news, going to college isn't for everyone. Getting married isn't for everyone. Working freelance isn't for everyone. Having a kid isn't for everyone. Nothing is for everyone, dude.

    Actually, I'd say English claims the title of being the truest descendant of Latin. English not only directly uses descendants of Latin vocabulary, it also uses plenty of words from the other Latin descendants. It's kind of like a C++ diamo

    Actually, Feynman warned against something very similar in `Surely You're Joking, ...'--cargo cult science. It had something to do with Pacific Islanders who'd try to make offerings to their gods to receive food and other supplies like they

    @James Hague: so what are the unusual blogs you're subscribing to? I'm always on the lookout for that kind of stuff. I'll start off with one of my discoveries: the feed for a readlist ( http://readlists.com/ ) created by a guy named Stu She
