We'll see if HackerNewsTips is a github employee, or if they've been in on these "Ruby dick jokes". I've got good insider knowledge that some of them are involved, but that's been wrong before. Until then, assume that it's just one guy bei

No, I'm not Nick Martini, I'm funnier and a better programmer. :-)

It's probably more than an hour fix, depending on how they did it. Remember that it is more usable to just let people add someone else without a confirmation. They'll have to add a confirmation on the other side, or a block mechanism, whi

In an age where following Wikileaks can get the FBI secretly after you, there's no way I want a platform to let people just add me unilaterally. Yeah, paranoid, sure, but I really don't like that I'm just associated with any random proje

I don't have a victim complex, I stand up for myself, there's a big difference.

> It's an issue we'd like to address more generally. I wish you would. I'm apparently not the only one who's had this "joke" played on them, and it'd be nice if it was ended. Here's how you do it: If someone adds me to a project, eith

I don't want an apology, I want them to add a feature that prevents people from abusing others. If throwing a "hissy fit" gets it done then rock on. If not then I'll go somewhere else. That's what's great about a meritocracy in a free mar

Yes, IBM is in NY state. If you want me to do your homework for you and buy a license for WestLaw then I'll pass. I'll leave it to you to prove a negative.

I do, but it's not as fun.

Oh you're one of those guys who thinks that you're somehow trolling by just being a dipshit. As if my reaction to your stupidity is somehow causing me great pain, when the truth is it's just damn funny to tell someone who insults me to suc

Fossil's been causing me some trouble for about a month or two now. I just can't let something like this get in my way anymore, so out fossil goes. Another thing everyone hasn't really mentioned is that I switched in about 20 minutes plus

You must be using a lot of crap then.

by zedshaw 15y ago
Wrong on both counts. Git's bizarre contrarian UI has screwed up many a repository. I can't tell you how many times some dude's weird "workflow" he decided was the best screwed everyone else on the project over. In this case with fossil,

It didn't, it's just this bug put me in a state where the only thing I could do was revert.

That just makes me cry. Absolutely no sense of style, just a bunch of obscene hacks that only work because a billion people use it.

Nobody on the Mongrel2 project uses hg or asked for it. But the github fans constantly complained like this was the end of the damn world. I figured since I had to move anyway, I might as well shut them up so I can get back to coding in

This is why people who say "ignore the trolls" are idiots. The internet makes trolling permanent and a mob affair. Your best strategy now is to fight back with your own better words, pranks, and trolling or else everyone simply assumes yo

You're conflating the legal system with the penal system. It's a common mistake, but the "3-strikes laws" are part of the laws and how they're enforced, which is the legal system. The penal system is about carrying out sentences and impri

That depends entirely on whether you think prison is about "retribution" or about "rehabilitation". This is a very big debate in criminology, but I think rehabilitation is winning out. Personally, I think that prisons need to be both ret

Good questions. It fits at about the sample place you'd put nginx or apache, with it in front of your other language application stacks. Mongrel2's protocol also tends to remove the need for any "middleware" like WSGI or Rack since it's p

Yep, you have to anyway. It's to prevent buffer overflows so that you can't "cheat" and try to stream it. You have to read it, allocate, then save it. It also means you can abort after just reading the size and ':' if it's too big. Rath

That's where I'm getting that feature idea from. I think the control port, config anywhere, fast dynamic restarts, and filters will make it the bee's-knees for hosting.

Welll, to be honest, life sort of pushed Mongrel2 to the side temporarily. The book, teaching classes, and the new job took over until they stabilized. But, it's back and people were using it in production already so this means more progr
