Re:Syncing and merging come to Bitbucket on Thursday February 07, 2013 @11:40AM (#5183025)
Downloads is a valid missing (or rather removed) feature, but as others have pointed out, this feature at core is not very different from rebase.

It should be titled " Amazon, Apple and the beauty of high volumes"
Re:Glances - an easy CLI overview of your system (CPU, mem, I/O) on Monday September 03, 2012 @12:25PM (#4470892)
This looks good. For cpu and memory checks I find htop to be more lightweight and functionality wise is pretty good too. It doesn't show disk stats though, for which something like atop should be used.

Re:Shown HN: Open Source Ticket Desk app on Wednesday June 13, 2012 @12:49AM (#4104370)
It depends upon the hardware you have. But if you have a decent machine say EC2 small instances or something like http://www.hetzner.de/en/hosting/produkte_vserver/vq19 it should not be an issue. We use similar setup for promptcloud and that machine has numerous other things running too, there is no noticeable load.
Re:Handy text manipulation tricks in Sublime Text 2 on Tuesday June 12, 2012 @02:14AM (#4099062)
>I'm a bit stumped on toggling comments, though. Any ideas?

    " comentify/uncommentify a line or a visual block"
     function! Komment()
     if getline(".") =~ '^[ \t]*#'
             let hls=@/
             s/^\([ \t]*\)#\(.*\)$/\1\2
             let @/=hls
         else
             let hls=@/
             s/^\([ \t]*\)\(.*\)$/\1#\2
             let @/=hls
         endif
     endfunction
     :vnoremap // :call Komment()<CR>
     :nnoremap // :call Komment()<CR>

    If you want to use c style comment : 
    function! Komment()
         if getline(".") =~ '^[ \t]*\/\*'
             let hls=@/
             s/^\(\s*\)\/\*\(.*\)\*\/\(\s*\)$/\1\2\3/
             let @/=hls
         else
             let hls=@/
             s/[ \t]*$//
             s/^\(\s*\)\(.*\)\(\s*\)$/\1\/\* \2 \*\//
             let @/=hls
         endif
     endfunction
     :vnoremap <silent> // :call Komment()<CR>
     :nnoremap  <silent> // :call Komment()<CR>

Re:Darcs - Another open source version control system on Wednesday May 09, 2012 @03:03AM (#3947390)
Darcs is good for personal use, but I moved away primarily because of the exponential merge problem. I think darcs2 takes care of it in most of the cases but NOT always. That is a big question mark for production repository. Darcs is easy to get started with though - to anybody interested I recommend this link - http://blog.interlinked.org/tutorials/darcs.html .

On the other hand if you want to move from darcs to git , use the following - https://github.com/purcell/darcs-to-git
