The "stolen" argument seems a bit odd. Sure, anything can be stolen.

When purchasing an e-bike a removable battery was a must have. The one I wound up purchasing has a pretty heavy duty locking mechanism for the battery so I never really have to worry about it being stolen.

I'd use Safari over Chrome, but Safari has a couple of show-stopping bugs:

1. Swiping back on the trackpad to navigate backwards freezes the page for a couple of seconds. It then redraws the page with any updated elements (perhaps a refresh?).

2. The element CSS attributes in the dev tools often fail to update the DOM, duplicate with every keystroke, or revert what you have typed.

I got bit by this over this weekend, too. I received the initial email September 27 @ 1:35 AM local time. I called Rackspace to see if they would be sending out emails prior to each VPS being rebooted 30 minutes or so before just as a heads up for human monitoring purposes. The representative told me that it "was not feasible" for them to do that for every VPS. Instead... I've been camped by my computer all of today (Sunday) to monitor the reboots since I have servers at DFW & ORD and they have a 24 hour time window for those regions.

While their status page was somewhat helpful, I find it absolutely absurd that they can only update it once every 60 minutes to cue customers in. In addition, their Cloud Control Panel doesn't reflect the reboots. When a VPS goes down for a reboot... the CP shows the server as "Active - Online and functioning as properly". Thankfully great third party monitoring services (using Scout) exist so they can notify in-place of Rackspace's incompetency.

As someone who shells out a significant amount of money to them each month, this is pretty disheartening. That being said... I seem to have survived the Great Rackspace Reboot of 2014 and can only hope they handle the next event better.

Perhaps... but let's not forget about the "Poke" app which was their first run at a Snapchat clone. Anything FB puts out isn't an instant success.

She retracted and said she was actually contacted (later in the day): https://twitter.com/nrrrdcore/status/453337287766450176.

GitHub employs a handful of women.[1] Have any others ever spoken out about sexism internally? Out of all these women why was Horvath singled out? Maybe I'm missing something but it really seems that this isn't adding up...

Thanks for sharing these. The 'hacks' so far seem pretty beneficial and I'm planning on trying them.

Pretty much for anything that I want to store to a database but is too costly do to write every time I update. For example, I use Redis store counters for things and then batch process them storing to Postgres.

Certain shows from Showtime are streaming. For example, Netflix has all of 'Weeds' available for streaming.

This is actually talking directly to the iMessage service. It's hitting https://service.ess.apple.com:443 (and https://service2.ess.apple.com:443 when authenticating) and not being proxied through any third-party servers. That being said, it does look like the app reports basic analytics but nothing sensitive.

This is truly impressive!

If they can get the price down, pairing this with the Google balloon WiFi would be awesome. Making it easier and cheaper for people in developing countries to get online would be great.

The working directory will be truncated with ellipses a specified length. The default is 40 but it, of course, can be changed. :)

Wow, that's quite busy. Have you checked out `tmux-powerline`? I know it's deprecated but it still works very well.

Here's a screenshot of my setup for reference: http://cl.ly/image/3m2k1p1T2S2Y

Yep, appears they've fixed that and removed the TWSS line.

I'm curious if this page was even supposed to go live. There are _2_ references to 16 MB / 32 MB and also a "That's what she said" blurb.

Ouch.

After looking at the source, this appears to be a great beginners resource of how to build on top of C. The source is very concise and straightforward. I'm curious to see what will come from this.

Edit: it seems to be working now.

Personally, I think the bottom makes more sense. That way you can at least hope the visitor reads your post before sharing it.

I'm sure you've heard of pathogen, but if not, check it out here: https://github.com/tpope/vim-pathogen. I've been using it for a while and it's fantastic.

Yes, I'm unable to connect. According to a quick Twitter search it appears it's down for everyone.

Lightworks is a video editing application, not a distro. For more information, just read the wiki page for it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lightworks

It only integrates with the Gmail app on the device. There are specific cards that will work _only_ if you have the Gmail app pulling in email and it's enabled.

How is pushing code to a private repository 'contributing to open source'?

Read the blog post and visit the site. He's not storing the passwords.

I've been using BugHub for iPad and it's a pretty solid product. Pretty excited to try out the Mac version now.

Just so it's clear, Miguel de Icaza confirmed via Twitter that this will work with applications built outside of the Xamarin toolchain.

Xamarin Test Cloud is not limited to c#. Will work with Objective-C, RubyMotion, Java apps too.

Even though there are plenty of online whiteboarding tools, I'm pretty sure 37signals can afford to fly someone in for an interview. To say the lack of asking whiteboarding questions because they work remotely is absurd.

I, too, would love to hear more details. I find it astounding that an industry that does not care about looks (tech) would have something that is evidently very prevalent.

I thought the same when I read the sensationalist title and opening remarks. Personally, I've always thought task warrior and org-mode were the most popular among hackers with OmniFocus being the go-to program for Mac die-hards.

It's also worth mentioning that the developer of Cheddar works for the author's husband as seen in the footnote.

Sure, but that requires users typing in their phone number and having Snapchat send a text to verify. I don't know about your friends, but I know for sure mine would not do that. In my opinion, Facebook is much more reputable than Snapchat.
