dorianm··on Sourcegraph now running on an in-browser VS Code
Installed it, didn't work on https://github.com/rails/rails :(

This doesn't work either https://sourcegraph.com/github.com/rails/rails :(

dorianm··on Google plans ad-blocking feature in Chrome browser

dorianm··on Ask HN: Best business advice for software developers
Reminds me of https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0020/

Beautiful is better than ugly.

Explicit is better than implicit.

Simple is better than complex.

Complex is better than complicated.

Flat is better than nested.

Sparse is better than dense.

Readability counts.

Special cases aren't special enough to break the rules.

Although practicality beats purity.

Errors should never pass silently.

Unless explicitly silenced.

In the face of ambiguity, refuse the temptation to guess.

There should be one-- and preferably only one --obvious way to do it.

Although that way may not be obvious at first unless you're Dutch.

Now is better than never.

Although never is often better than right now.

If the implementation is hard to explain, it's a bad idea.

If the implementation is easy to explain, it may be a good idea.

Namespaces are one honking great idea -- let's do more of those!

> I think just this week Microsoft took advantage of that by interoperating with us but not doing the reverse

> The only solution is to unite in changing our behavior. We need to give website operators an ultimatum: Remove the modals, or we leave
