lclemente··on Dropbox as a Git Server
Shameless plug: I've implemented something similar in the past, but with the addition of client-side encryption. I've been using it for some time without problems.

At a first glance at the design docs here, the present project looks more sophisticated in terms of syncing. I'm just using local file operations and hoping for dropbox to do its stuff :)

lclemente··on Quantum ‘spookiness’ passes toughest test yet
I think the problem with your analogy is that it doesn't include the measurement basis. Consider polarization of a photon: you can either distinguish between horizontal or vertical polarization with a measurement, so your basis looks like a "+". Or you can distinguish between diagonal polarizaitons, so your basis looks like an "X".

Now, considering two photons, you don't know which basis Alice or Bob will choose in advance. If you just say "the photon is polarized horizontally", then their outcomes will be random if they measure in the "X" basis. If you include so-called "hidden variables" for all possible measurements, then you're basically at Einstein's idea.

(I've simplified some things above, so please don't quote me on it ;)

The only one I could find, so just bad luck :)
lclemente··on Show HN: Git-remote-dropbox – use Dropbox as a true Git server
Shameless plug: If you want the data in dropbox encrypted, try https://github.com/lucas-clemente/git-cr :) I think I've also solved most of the concurrency problems, but haven't tested it yet.

Shameless plug: Might be interesting to combine this with client-side encrypted remotes, a feature of https://github.com/lucas-clemente/git-cr :)
lclemente··on Ember.js 2.0 Released
Cool, thanks!
lclemente··on Ember.js 2.0 Released
The file size (ember.min.js) went down due to the cleanup:

  1.13.8: 488K, 126K gzipped
  2.0.0:  424K, 110K gzipped
lclemente··on Share: The Icon No One Agrees On
As an Apple user, everytime I see Android's share button I think of the Steam icon (https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Steam_logo.svg).

Do you plan on offering self-hosted setups in the future?

Homebrew already fixed that, you can just do a git pull in /usr/local.
lclemente··on Edward Snowden nominated for Nobel peace prize
2009 - Obama

2014 - Snowden

That would certainly be something ;)

lclemente··on Optimizing large selector sets
Very cool! Could this be merged into jQuery, or are there reasons why that's not a good idea?

Just out of interest, what is your temperature setting for night? I'm at 3600K, decreasing it every few weeks.
lclemente··on GoConvey: Go testing in the browser
This looks amazing, congratulations! I really like the idea of having a nice UI for keeping an eye on tests.

Does anyone know whether there's something similar for Ruby / Rails?

I quite like pupil: http://pupil.io/

It allows you to change the resolution (zoom) from the menu bar.

This is void of any citations of scientific studies or just about anything to back its claims. How does this get voted up?

Just a note: This was on the stackoverflow weekly newsletter yesterday. If you're interested in more questions like this it's worth to check it out, I like it a lot.
lclemente··on Puffin Browser
I'm wondering how the Snowden revelations affect companies like them. Having all your mobile browsing pass though a single point in the US probably doesn't sound like a good idea anymore to many of their potential users.

Also, I'd like to know whether they have the same kinds of speed improvement when loading resources over SSL connections.
