And the follow up: http://blog.ircmaxell.com/2014/10/a-followup-to-open-letter-...

OK, the topic is great. So could anyone write a decent article about it and post it to HN?

Website now says "SOON". Response from #atom irc channel:

> Would the editor itself be open-source?

> yes

> a non-opensource editor from GitHub would be ludicrous

> seems like the source code will be up today

GitHub's guide for javaScript is to write every new JavaScript in CoffeeScript. https://github.com/styleguide/javascript It has been like that for years.

I've received the following email from Amazon:

Dear NAME,

We wanted to let you know about a new feature that will be launching soon for customers who have connected their Facebook accounts. While shopping, you will see when your friends have reviewed or wished for an item you're looking at. Similarly, your friends will see your Facebook profile picture and name when they are browsing items that you've reviewed or are on your public Wish Lists (private Wish Lists will remain hidden).

Whether it helps you pick the right product or find great gift ideas, this feature makes it easier to discover items that may be of interest to you and your friends. For more information or to opt out of this feature, follow the link below.

http://www.charitywater.org/about/jobs/ Charity Water is helping people in Asia and Africa to have access to clean water.

In theory it is possible.

I have noticed all of the "famous" GitHub users I followed being added to this repo. Shortly after it had been disabled.

Here is a snippet from my news feed: http://imgur.com/l58mEDx

You know the rule for a new language. There are few developers, but those are one of the best.

Actually because of patents royalties Microsoft gets more money from Android than Windows Phone.

Every sold Android phone is putting few bucks in MS pocket.

Removing all whitespace, converting everything to lowercase and removing special chars should to the job. I hope they build it in.

So you had two pictures? But what does this give you? Unless the second picture was available on the internet it is just the same as the first one.

Here is how I think it was done:

I assume the author is not a Facebook friend with the girl. Otherwise it would have been too easy. But friends of friends is not the only privacy leak on Facebook. There is a very old feature (which is about to get deprecated) called Networks.

Networks are created for schools, universities and other big organizations. They had the name of the high school so they have to list it as their own high school in their Facebook profiles.

This will automatically put them in the same network as the girl. I am assuming here that she has listed that on her Facebook profile.

Then performing a graph search for women who has gone to that high school and live in Austin with an age between X and Y will narrow the search a lot. Even if some of that information is not public on Facebook it would be public to them if they are not same network if she has the default settings. This is a neat trick which is still usable.

I don't think looking through the pictures would take more than half an hour.

GitHub status reports an increase in in unicorns: https://status.github.com/messages

7:36 UTC We're investigating an increase in unicorns.

It gives me the unicorn page everywhere (a.k.a. as 500 error).

I haven't even finished the article when I checked if had uninstalled the Path app!

After you have the pile on the bottom you could throw it up and try to move it without falling down :)

What can WE do about it so GitHub stops getting DDoS-ed?

BTW, the sentence "Black plays; checkmate in one!" is popular with giving such chess quizzes in various chess books, magazines etc. Probably this is the reason to start with this.

There is a repeating error in the first paragraph.

I don't hear anything on Chrome for Android.

If only there was a way to go to bed early instead of reading HN, I might be able to wake up before my alarm.

I don't want to being offensive in any way, but you can try a non-hacker website if don't want it to be noisy.

Github.com is now up https://github.com/

https://status.github.com/

Github status: "We've temporarily disabled service on port 80 while we investigate the source of a connection flood. HTTPS, GIT, and SSH service are unaffected."

Great way to keep the git push/pull workflow unaffected.
