    Least of all when that ticket is older and so much of the code and the company has changed too. Like sometimes useful historical context sure but worth putting in the first line of…

    Yeah the ticket value falls off pretty quickly to me. If I pull that up and it's been a closed issue for years and code has been added, rewritten, people moved, and tons of other c…

    I see this all the time. people harp on about 'fake it until you make it' when I think the bigger unspoken problem is the tendency to overvalue confidence over competence. I would …

    To add to that, Google has consistently done invite rollouts in their past like Gmail and Google+ to name a couple.

    I believe it's the current 20,000 song upload limit they have.

    Couldn't Google just theoretically bake Waze's functionality in Maps and use Google+ for the social layer?

    Awesome, but when is the Android app updating to accommodate for tablets? I've seen it in this board ( https://trello.com/board/trello-for-android-development/ ) for a while as a m…

    Google Maps has had 3D maps for a while now, they introduced the feature into Google Earth first. I think the point is more detailed 3D maps.

    I'm on Firefox Nightly and the Papercut and Skew animations aren't working for me. Just saying this as the site mentions that it's tested on Firefox Nightly and I'm using 14.0a1 (2…

    The Awesomebar is one of my main reasons why I never left Firefox. It really is just too great. The ability to use wildcards to narrow my searches is too great. Plus adding keyword…

    I actually prefer yours over the prior one. It seemed a bit too packed for me, yours is loose enough in structure and allows me to customize on a per project basis more easily.

    Foundation by ZURB is another awesome framework, then there's Blueprint, YAML and can't forget 960gs. Personally I use none of them, I developed my own framework that I've dubbed F…

    Have you or anyone else had luck with LiveReload and Windows? My main gripe with LiveReload is the requirement of Ruby, I don't code in Ruby so it seems a little unnecessary for me…

    Right, because the vast majority of Tumblr users actually use it as a long-form content site rather than an evolution of chain emails? Who's to say that Google won't open API's tha…

    A social network that's been around for majority of a decade has more users and interaction than one that hasn't even hit a year of age? All joking aside, this article really doesn…

    I honestly can't agree with any of the top comments, saying you're "disturbed" or just being upset with this move is rather pointless. Google stated early in the life of Google+ th…

    I wouldn't say Google is ditching search, I would say search is evolving. The wealth of information that we have is getting far too large for an algorithm alone to do the trick. Go…

    He actually qualified it before that part of his comment. >Shawn is a performance-obsessed Java expert, Eclipse committer and longtime Google coder who works on JGit.

    There are Sublime Packages that do, but I don't think it's built-in support.

    If anything the math is what I don't get. My four comments each have -4 which should come out to -16, while I was previously sitting at +13, I am now at -18 and the numbers just do…

    I fail to see how a site that hides downvotes from users with lower karma isn't furthering a hivemind.

    Alright, I give up on commenting on this site. Always get downmodded into oblivion when I disagree with the hivemind.

    I think he didn't make it clear enough. The system isn't broken, the original source just has a lower pagerank.I fail to see where the issue is. I've seen links rank lower than the…

    That's not broken. If you had website foo.com and then added bar.foo.com you would expect that your pagerank transfer to your subdomain as well. Of course when the owner of pageran…
