The returns are his to disclose. There's no (legal) reason to withhold them if he's truly under audit. He could always release the revised documents if necessary.

I loved reading this in 2008, was my first encounter with Atul Gawande and caused me to seek out other medical writers like Oliver Sacks. Thanks to @dove for reposting this incredi…

We've adapted this at 18F. It's not a fork but it is based on and inspired by Thoughtbot's original project. Strong recommend. https://github.com/18f/laptop

I can't find a specific example off the top of my head but I'll say I've been managing a Jekyll site for a while now and whitespace errors in frontmatter and data files cause all k…

Neat feature, should save a bunch of time. I wonder if they'll consider support for variables like {{ submitter }} or {{ owner }} that would fill in a mention to the user who filed…

WordPress is PHP, and licensed GPL, too. Last I heard roughly 20% of the web was running it.

Amazing how many of these probably go away by ditching your CDN and using SPDY/HTTP2.

All I've noticed is more clickbait. http://knowmore.washingtonpost.com/

I hear Box has weapons of mass destruction.

The git integration could be a lot better but I like the green or amber hairlines next to the line number that give you a real-time git diff against HEAD. Cool feature. It is a bit…

Good to know. That was definitely not an option at Ally. It was: fraud call, card blocked instantly, new card ordered later. Thanks for the tip!

Online banks are great until your ATM card is compromised at which point it is promptly cancelled and a new one can be _shipped_ in "3-5 business days." When you're 3-5 business da…
