Its weird, I never missed the key when I hit it but it always felt strange due to lack of feedback. I ended up binding Capslock to Escape and training myself to use that instead. Now I don't care at all.

> Because the Oculus headset works on Steam games, but the Vive doesn't out of the box work with Oculus Home. You can make it work, but it's not quite official.
Works with seated SteamVR experiences, but not room scale ones, which I think is a more compelling experience.

Be sure the email you commit with is also on your key. May not be your primary GH email address.

You can add emails to your GPG key. I added my normal committer email to my keybase key and added the key to GitHub as well and all is working well!

Tell that to my cat who refuses to eat wet food, but loves kibble. She opted to not eat most of her kibble when I mixed the two.

I've heard it used often in conjunction with benefits given to minorities. For example, a university offering a scholarship for African Americans is sometimes criticized for being reverse racist.

Showing diffs for binary assets doesn't need to include things like "brightness 1%". GitHub currently supports image diffs, they're simply displayed side by side, or on top of each other.

Re:Why Baidu Has Been Hijacked to Attack GitHub
on Friday March 27, 2015 @06:26PM (#9279446)
All the sources I've seen just show the tweets and then go on to say how he went rogue and removed the repository. Seems like a really weak argument.
Re:Why Baidu Has Been Hijacked to Attack GitHub

Wait so Jake Boxer responding on Twitter to Nexxy is considered proof that he removed it? I don't think that holds up.

Do you have any source on that?

No bueno! Any specific PDF file? We only render a small number of pages by default to ensure browsers can handle it :)

That should definitely not happen. Does that consistently happen when you click that link?

Re:The Best Bike Lock
on Saturday January 10, 2015 @06:26PM (#8868353)
This is an impressive pain in the ass. I race too and the only lock its ever trusted behind is a deadbolt. I bought a very nice mid 80s road bike for my commuter because its about as light as an entry level race bike but looks like nothing special.
Re:The Best Bike Lock
on Saturday January 10, 2015 @06:24PM (#8868344)
If you really care, get the fancier lock (Kryptonite Fuhgettaboutit (http://www.amazon.com/Kryptonite-997986-Black-Fahgettaboudit...) they recommend and buy locking skewers. Then don't buy a new bike, but get a mid-80s steel bike and call it a day. I've left bikes locked up in the worst neighborhoods in SF overnight and haven't had shit stolen.

You were able to hail a cab in the street? Lucky you. I've had cabbies refuse to take me to where I want to go. I've called cab companies, told them where I am, and they refuse to come pick me up. I've seen a cab turn down an elderly couple want to go across town because his "meter was broken", but 2 minutes later take a fare that just went a couple blocks. And I'm a white male. Minorities have an even harder problem getting cabs.
Depending on where you live, cabs are not always something that is just as easy or reliable as Uber/Lyft/Sidecar/etc. When I'm unable to get home for whatever reason, I need a service I can rely on.
