If I remember correctly, you're always allowed to start the first insult. Pick an insult you don't know the answer to. Hopefully your opponent knows the correct response. If he doe…

This focuses mostly on simulating unreliabable networking. Is there a tool, perhaps some LD_PRELOAD wrapper, that can simulate unreliable everything? I'm talking memory errors, dis…

The threshold is 500, as far as I know. Whenever I reach that, I delete my account and create a new one. I'm probably one of those people who downvotes others that I don't agree wi…

It's not just weird. Every click on any item now takes approximately 1 second longer.

So many things.. but mostly working on these right now * A tool that generates Markdown API docs from Python files * A whitebox system scanner that reveals problems with your serve…

I got the exact opposite of that (or I'm misunderstanding you).. The title of the story on reddit is: > "Please remove mitsuhiko/* (This guy is complaining about tip4commit, please…

I have the same "problem". I guess I'm just too focuses on fixing stuff to stop and commit. Thankfully we're alive in a time where we don't have to adapt to our tools anymore, but …
