Yeah... where's the source code?

You could give them extra notice, above and beyond the normal 2 weeks. Beyond that, you could also make your services available as freelance resource, set number of hours a week and a good rate for them. But that's only if you really want to.

this is more or less like building a blog

it's bitcoin, not sure why they didn't put that in the title

Where I live at least, there is no other option. I have 512kbps up and can't get anything else.

also github is not a YC startup

Not everyone wants to use bundler.

I agree that this needs to be fixed. But I don't think it's a something that needs a rant, and that must be fixed right away or I'll crash the server / migrate my projects.

I think we disagree on the severity of this issue.

I'd be happy if they fixed this within a month

You wouldn't be listed on the contributors page, I just verified this. So nobody would see it but you.

It's because he pushed commits. I have commit access on a private repo on github that I have not pushed commits, and I am not listed on the contributors page.

It shows your forks not your repos you have commit access to. So it wouldn't show repos other people added you to

You're wrong.

It shows your forks, not projects you have commit access to.

Use fossil, it comes highly recommended from zed.... until recently

As far as I can tell the only side effect of being added to a project, is that it shows up in your list of your repositories on your [private] dashboard.

Edit: see http://github.com/zedshaw , he's not listed on the dongml project, because that link only shows your forks, not repos you have commit access to

Edit 2: Why the downvotes, am I wrong?

It seems unfair to put the abuse of one user on the ruby community as a whole.

Let's remind everybody zed published a rails is a ghetto rant that has since been taken down. He's already got much hate for the ruby community

why is there a winner in source control at all? Is it a contest?

I find it can be hard to sync up schedules and reliably work on it each week.

I once met a few developers through a friend of mine. My impression was that they had no passion for the job. Programming pays well if you're good at it. I think there are a lot of programmers who are just paying their bills.

I always make sure the work that's paying the bills is done, before I work on the side project. Other than that, I'll typically commit to 5 hours a week. Usually in 2 sessions.

I'm the author, will answer any questions / criticisms of the post. Thanks for the upvotes

how about telecommuting instead?

it's the same cost?

or if you have an EDU email address it can be free

It's not an iTunes replacement at all. I have an iPhone and buy apps through iTunes sometimes. This doesn't have that functionality (nor the syncing with the iPhone).

Also, it has a bittorrent client built in... Why?

Write down your needs, and have an honest conversation with your boss. Never know unless you ask.

Any example apps more complex than typical hello world stuff? I'm interested

It's funny. As humans we spend a lot of time trying to do things like a machine. For instance play a musical piece from memory perfectly.

Whereas we also spend time trying to get our machines to do things like a human. Like get a machine to play a piece as expressively as a human

The article goes on to say that it's not a new concept. What they're suggesting is basically screencast.com linked in a bug report. Good idea, but all the necessary parts are already built

It's my understanding that the Internet is structured in such a way that this kind of thing is impossible unless there is a massive buy in of all involved countries.

I very much prefer the Internet raw and unfiltered. I know enough to know which sites I like and which I don't.

Furthermore, the Internet is an expression of the human condition, and as such it is itself art, and should not be censored for this reason as well.

We already have enough trouble with ICE seizing domains
