I have an apache + reverse proxy for go servers running and listening on their specific port.

I really can't support this claim. I have a repo of 111GB now and it works ok. Not slow at all (unless you do git gc or something like that).

I suggest the source code of TeX. Not new, but still very interesting to read.

source that needs some postprocessing (tangle/weave):

http://mirrors.ctan.org/systems/knuth/dist/tex/tex.web

PDF from the source (including hyperlinks)

I hate you ;-)))

That's why I've put the fine in quotation marks. I just wanted to say that I could get an opponent in chrome (but now also in ff).

Works "fine" in chrome, not firefox (perhaps due to some add-ons)

Seems so. First view I've got the ping, after a minute I've got the 'message currently unavailable'.

Very interesting! It's a pity they don't break down on the 0-50k part, as it is the biggest piece of pie in the charts.

What would be the equivalent of that in Germany? Not saying there is none.

"Easy enough?" I am also not sure if that is really so easy. We are not talking about a terrorist here.

I doubt that the FBI (or any other US authority) is allowed to operate in any state outside the USA. Similar with all other countries.

I wish this would be half the price tag... I'd buy it right away.

Quoting from the page: "What's in the box - Mac Pro, Power Cord, Keyboard and Mouse sold separately".

Funny that one of the three items really doesn't belong on that list.

I wonder: is this still up to date? Has Apple fixed this?

(Not read the article yet, just answering to the question for myself.)

I sometimes use stackexchange network (more precisely: tex.stackexchange.com) to provide many, many answers and I have spent hours over hours there, mainly to procrastinate. So, before reading the article, I'd say it evens out. But stackoverflow really helps me a lot.

Care to elaborate?

I distribute a binary that can be extended via Javascript/Lua/... API by a customer. This is great. I don't want the customer to mess with the Go source but I give him the chance to mess with the program by a well defined API.

Yes, you can do that. But that's evil and ugly (mixing uppercase and lowercase letters that way). I know it has do be done sometimes.

And I am glad that U+1E9E (LATIN CAPITAL LETTER SHARP S) is not official part of German orthography.

There is an atom feed:

Does weiss == weiß ?

Yes and no. The swiss would write the former, other German speaking (writing) countries would write the latter. It is incorrect in Germany (after ie, au, eu, ... you must not write ss, unless it's a name, such as the city Neuss)

The upper case of weiß would be WEISS. But it's hard from the upper case WEISS to determine if the lower case is weiss or weiß. (This is why one should never write people's names in bibliographies in small caps.)

Unicode tells me:

• Special Casing: Lowercase: 00DF [ ‌ß ] Uppercase: 0053 0053 [ ‌S ‌S ] Titlecase: 0053 0073 [ ‌S ‌s ]

• NamesList: = Eszett • German • uppercase is "SS" • in origin a ligature of 017F and 0073 → (greek small letter beta - 03B2) → (latin capital letter sharp s - 1E9E)

(in origin a ligature of 017F and 0073 is not undisputed)

U+1E9E (LATIN CAPITAL LETTER SHARP S ẞ) is not officially allowed in German orthography • NamesList: • lowercase is 00DF → (latin small letter sharp s - 00DF) • Designated in Unicode 5.1

I actually like 'Hello world' examples, as long as they are very short. That way I have a basic program in an unknown language and can continue from there. Finding out how to make a very simple sample program myself was frustrating in the past sometimes. (Where should I put the files, what is necessary to load the main class etc.)

`git gc` packs files with delta compression. I have a rather big git repository (daily mirroring a 25 gig repository with some large dvd iso images). And it seems to work quite well.

Thats what I do. But it might take time (graylisting for example). So instant feedback is not possible.

They are mostly in 9th grade. I don't know their age, but perhaps around 14-15?

Checking for @ (and some other basic stuff) would be ok.

I don't want to confuse users with more checkboxes/displays than necessary. Interesting experiment? Yes probably, but I would need more data than I have now to get meaningful results.

I have a sign-up page with one email field. I get many errors because people (mostly younger people that probably don't use email regularly) type in incorrect email addresses (leave out the '@', use : instead of . and so on).

I wonder if this double entry would make them think twice? And probably these people don't know about CTRL-C/CTRL-V so they have to enter the address twice.

Is that with the new fish? On 2.0.0 /Mac OS X, this doesn't work.

bash: "\C-p": history-search-backward in ~/.inputrc

I have used fish for a few months and I really liked it. I switched back to bash eventually because of a simple fact that esc-. didn't work in fish (which I use really often). If fish provides it, I will go back to fish.

Duh! Thanks.
