If you have a DDoS network, taking down something large like Github is a good way to display your power to any potential customer.

Github still holds quite a lot of nines in terms of uptime. It's just that it's extra visible when something big like Github goes down. The important part you should consider is to…

The initial code work was probably not even an hour from initial idea to actually having random colored strings and a test shibe. Then I spent some time tweaking the image to be be…

It is indeed!

https://github.com/rossy2401/img2xterm It's pretty easy to use. The problem is usually to create good input for it. I spent roughly an hour in GIMP just tweaking the original doge.…

such plug very terminal shibe so hax many monads https://github.com/thiderman/doge https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6667414

I was afraid I wouldn't like it, but after using it for a couple of weeks I am very pleased with it. I think the island style mainly was implemented to allow for the keyboard backl…

Heh, cute. This means Github could probably do some automated means of informing these people that their code is insecure and would be a danger to themselves and their users. I'm n…

I've been a Lenovo man for the longest time, and I am currently running a T430s. I find it to be the best balance of physical size and computing power there is to find.

>Oh, we're still fighting this "war"? No, we're not. That's pretty much the point of the comment and the closing of the bug.

It would be an interesting move from Oracle to even try. Nothing would say corporate desperation as much as trying to buy the project that sprung out when you first bought the proj…

That probably gave me the most instant "wow" feeling any web page has ever given me. That's _really_ impressive!

Thanks. Guess I was kinda quick to jump on that one.

Can't use XFT fonts. Doesn't set 256 colors properly. The blinking cursor is retarded and seemingly cannot be disabled. Those are kind of dealbreakers for me. On the plus side, it …

That's a really bad screencast, since the fonts are barely readable. Still, cool features. Will try it out to see if they are useful or annoying.

Given that nginx is almost twice as old as redis, shouldn't that analogy rather be "redis is the nginx of databases"? ;)

Exactly the same here. I really wanted to like Ember, since I liked the documentation and read a bit about how the project started and how it works on a higher level. However, sinc…

I'm not sure I instantly see the use of this, but I am really impressed about the way GitHub is improving their discovery tools. Every new way opens up new possibilities for collab…

That's a really bad thing in my eyes. Why teach a beginner that consistency is something that does not exist? Also, non-english variables are an abomination! I've worked with code …

Awesome app! Already loving it! As others, I would gladly pay for it! A tip for the Chrome Extension: A majority of the times I have wanted to push a link (the default) I want to p…

Looks very nice; way better than most of the other HN apps I've tried (and I've probably tried all of them by now). Unless something stops working, you'll have a purchase from me p…

I enjoy this, since it's a very clever and well executed idea. Cheers! However, something bugs me a little; Is there any reason for not mentioning Stack Overflow in the README?

I don't think that's the issue. The issue is that if a community is represented by a few key figures that share traits that you do not enjoy or seek in a community (in this particu…
