GitHub did this to me a few years ago. I still feel violated. Not by my idiot former employer. I feel violated by GitHub. I got my account back. Sort of. They detached a significan…

So?

Impressive! I've been using Fluentd a lot, will look at this. p.s. Search for "complaince" and fix the typo :-)

It's impossible for me to be as anonymous as I like on Quora, because they require a government ID with the name I want to use. Which isn't even that weird! It's my legal last name…

Yes. Within hours of registering my account, Quora emailed to let me know that my name sounds fake and that I have to prove my identity with government ID, or I can't use Quora on …

That's a false dichotomy. Ask MetaFilter is a much better Yahoo Answers, but I can be pseudonymous there. Also, my pseudonym is much closer to a real identity than what's on my dri…

I'm experiencing a sense of schadenfruede because I'm embittered by Quora's arrogant "real names" policy. They won't "let me" contribute. Nothing insightful. I'm just here to kick …

Being looked at by whom?

What the expletive! (Awesome, really didn’t see it coming though!)

Yeah, do you have a composer.json in the root of your repo? Buildpack will detect a PHP app...

I loved this, thank you. I never knew how the abolitionists managed to pass the slave trade act until now.

That's just like Perl to have a literary name like Perl::Critic :-)

Nitpicking: if you're keeping the name, pick a canonical way to spell it and "enforce" that everywhere :-) Repo name: Git-Enforcer Logo at top of readme: git ENFORCER call-to-actio…

I do like the idea overall. So, let me tell you why I instantly hated it and closed the tab. Your Show HN headline did a great job, I was excited to see what a github repo quality …

The idea that bonobos and chimpanzees can speak the same language is absolutely thrilling. Even though bonobos are chimps, I always saw the two species as very distinct; this disco…

A custom build with only the components you're using cuts the CSS size dramatically. You also get to specify your supported browsers, which can cut down the size as well. Finally, …

Sorry for the tone of my replies, seivan, you're probably a perfectly nice person who I would get along with just great in real life. Dawkins creeping around picking on a 14 year o…

Recognize anyone you know? http://members.shaw.ca/jeanaltemeyer/drbob/TheAuthoritarians...

Oh, so you're new, and you worship authoritarian dictators.

In a world that wasn't fucking awful, Dawkins would be Ahmed's idol, instead of his creepy public persecutor. I guess that's what happens when you spend a few decades on a pedestal…

As a teenage Muslim atheist, Dawkins was my hero. As an adult, 20 years later, I am embarrassed for him and for you, his followers.

I see the Hacker News community is valiantly rising to the occasion again.

Yes, Richard Dawkins, a 14-year-old boy intended to get arrested and deliberately provoked an overreaction by Texas racists, whose existence I'm sure he was totally aware of, becau…

Pure garbage from the new king of blowhards. He's in way too deep, like Bill Maher, and he's now preaching only to his dwindling choir.
