    Right, I get that...I meant a separate remote when I said redundancy. GitHub has just been so reliable I haven't even needed other remotes for the past 8 or so months we've been us…

    Unfortunately this occurred at the exact moment I was deploying some changes. Makes me think that being so dependent on GitHub for a production code repo is a little big dangerous.…

    I like that a lot...and I've always heard: 'Money doesn't make you happy, but it can make you less unhappy.'

    Some pretty good passive suggestions! My personal favorite is iOS app sales, which seem to bring in a couple of extra bucks per day if you have something people use.

    This looks great! I maintain a number of PostgreSQL DBs so being able to visualize it locally will be a great resource.

    I personally use SmartGit for committing and visualizing projects, and sometimes use Github for Mac if I'm just quickly cloning a repo off of their site.

    The ads and interface have always been a pain, yes. But I wouldn't call their domains overpriced...I've used coupon codes from RetailMeNot and other sites for years and have gotten…

    Not a bad how-to...he mentioned the mod_wsgi route and that's the one I'm most fond of. You can still use Nginx to handle all static files and proxy all other requests to Django. A…

    Totally agree on your tea assessment, and I also greatly prefer Oolong tea. We'd only ever drink Oolong if we were in a teahouse or other formally prepared setting, as I can't reca…

    I believe the senator's name you're looking for is Larry Craig, if I'm not mistaken.

    Although it more get more spammy, it may help to allow anonymous feedback. For two reasons, really: many people don't like signing up for a service without seeing how it works, and…

    I like the look of the landing page...it's clear, concise, and descriptive. And the design isn't overwhelming. From a UI standpoint, I approve. One thing that might be helpful is l…

    Awesome, this is extremely relevant. I've been working with my other co-founder since mid-2009. I've since graduated, lived in China for 4 months, turned down multiple Master's pro…

    Agreed. At least with my start-up there were so many roles for each person initially that titles were just there for your reasons. It most likely makes sense later, when roles are …

    I've seen loads of two person companies with a CEO title. And even single person startups with 0 employees sometimes have a CEO. If I were you, I'd get less hung up on titles and j…

    Some useful Nginx optimizations, but I've always found that the bottlenecks are far worse elsewhere. Nginx is a champ at serving static files, and I have it proxy all requests upst…

    Hah yeah I definitely haven't warmed up yet. I think my longest streak has been 7 or 8...there's always a match-up of two scary people that just throws me for a loop.

    Sounds a lot like what I've done...I'm 50/50 at best. Vote streaks are just session-based unless you are logged in, but since I have enabled voting I'm at like 54.13% with about 30…

    I'm hoping that I can track "time spent choosing" or something to that effect. I know when I've gone through the dataset (there's about 50k inmates in there, and I'm working on mor…

    Yes, that's coming for sure. I was focusing first on scraping if they were violent and then making sense of the data. There are a ton of other states too, and they are for the most…

    Well it's less mocking and more "will a large set of votes show us people's split seconds judgements". Hopefully at least...I'd like to think we'll be able to see trends emerge bas…
